Retirement age in 2015: briefly about the changes.

The reform of the pension system from 2013 to 2015 is characterized by the presence of many advantages. The most important among them remains the introduction of a savings system. The Russian Federation has managed to create a favorable climate for accumulation.

Size pensions for old-age pensioners, leaving later than the legally established period, according to the new system is calculated using a bonus coefficient. Citizens receive special points for each month from the date of their right to a pension. They are determined based on a fixed salary. A higher premium coefficient guarantees an increased amount of the insurance pension.

Required experience

The 2019 reform does not make any changes to the number of years of service required. All edits were made several years ago. Part 2, Article 8, establishes that to receive an insurance pension you must have at least 15 years.

The establishment of this indicator did not occur immediately, but gradually:

1. Until the beginning of 2015, citizens had to earn more than 5 years of work experience.
2. In 2015, the legislation was significantly changed. Along with all the edits, this figure also increased slightly - it was necessary to have from 6 years. In addition, a gradual increase in this value is envisaged. by 1 every year. This meant that in 2016 it was necessary to have 7 years, in 2017 – 8 .
3. The increase will continue until 2024, when this figure will increase up to 15 years.

The insurance period includes the following periods of activity:

• citizens whose disability was caused by a military injury;
• people who live in the Far North on a permanent basis;

Pension calculation and forecasts

Retirement in old age in 2019 will occur under the following conditions:

• men and women will be able to exit through 6 months after reaching 60 and 55 years old respectively;
• the age for receiving social benefits will also be increased;
• Pension benefits will also be changed.

The size will be:

1. Increases in social benefits will exceed inflation ( 7,07% – on average, payments will be increased by 1 thousand rubles).
2. It is planned that indexation will be carried out annually on January 1.
3. The amount of the supplement will be calculated individually for each individual citizen. This applies only to unemployed people who receive deductions for disability, old age, etc.

Increased benefits will be received only in January - after indexation. Only those who do not receive wages, that is, do not work, can count on increased payments.

Calculation of the amount of security for a woman born in 1964:

1. In 2019, a woman can apply for a deduction if she was born in the first half of 1964.
2. Then she will be more than 55.5 years, since it will be possible to go on a well-deserved vacation only 6 months after execution 55th anniversary.
3. This is only possible if she has more 10 years length of service, and the pension coefficient is minimal 16.2 points.

The calculation formula is as follows:

Rp=Sb*Sk+Fv

If we take the minimum indicators, we get:

16,2*87,24+5334,19=6747,48

This means that in 2019 a woman will receive RUB 6,747.48.

If a woman was born in the second half of 1964, then the year the benefit was assigned to her will only be 2020. In this case, for the calculation it will be necessary to use values ​​​​that will be relevant for 2020.

To whom it is possible earlier than established

The extension of deadlines will also affect preferential categories of the population:

Year in which the required number of years of experience was obtained	Postponement	Retirement under the new law
2019	+ 6 months	in 2019 and 2020
2020	+ 18 months	in 2021 and 2022
2021	+ 3 years	in 2024
2022	+ 4 years	2026
2023 and the rest	+ 5 years	in 2028 and subsequent years

From what year will the retirement age be raised in Russia - latest news

Many citizens continue to wonder whether the working age for workers of the Far North and other areas equivalent to it. Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Northerners will now also retire 5 years later - at 60 years (men) and 55 years (women), and not at 55 and 50 years old, as was previously provided.

Also, the conditions for retirement will be changed for teachers, workers in the medical and creative fields. These categories of citizens will still need to develop the required special length of service (25-30 years), after which they will be able to retire in another 5 years or less if the required length of service is acquired during the transition period.

What other retirement requirements will change?

As mentioned above, in 2018 men had the right to apply for an old-age insurance pension at 60 years old, and women - at 55. However, this is not the only condition for reaching labor pension at this age, Russians must also develop the necessary length of service and have a sufficient number of pension points.

According to Art. 8 of Federal Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 “About insurance pensions”, to retire in 2018, citizens had to fulfill the following conditions:

• Work out at least 9 years of work experience. This value increases by 1 year each year and will reach the target of 15 years in 2024.
• Have 13.8 pension points. This standard also increases annually in increments of 2.4 and by 2025 will reach the target value of 30 points (if, of course, by then these pension points will not be canceled at all).

As can be seen from the list above, the minimum requirements for retirement have already been increasing since 2015, when the law on insurance pensions was adopted.

Why is it necessary to raise the working age?

Every year, the average life expectancy in Russia is growing, and the birth rate is falling, which is why the number of working-age population is decreasing and the number of recipients of pension payments is increasing. Without raising the working age, the number of pension contribution payers and pensioners will become equal, which will slow down economic growth and will not allow pensions to be increased above the inflation rate.

Dmitry Medvedev promised that when the retirement age is raised the annual increase in pensions will average 1000 rubles(that is, the increase will occur at a faster rate). Later, his words were confirmed by the head of the Ministry of Finance and First Deputy Prime Minister Anton Siluanov, who noted that already in 2019 indexation of pension payments will outpace inflation.

Many experts believe that now is the most favorable period to start increasing the retirement age from the point of view of the demographic situation (this will be even more difficult to do in the future). According to official data, over the past 7 years, average life expectancy in Russia has increased from 59 to 67.5 years for men and from 72.26 to 77.64 years for women. According to Rosstat forecasts, this indicator is expected to increase in 2024 up to 72.3 and 82.1 years for men and women, respectively. When the transition period of raising the retirement age ends (in 2028 and 2034 for men and women), the average life expectancy of men will be 75.1 years, and for women - 85.28 years.

Medvedev launched pension reform

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev announced an increase in the retirement age. The government proposes to raise the retirement age for men from the current 60 to 65 years, and for women from 55 to 63 years. Thus, the last “transition year” will be 2034, when the retirement age for women reaches a new level. From 2019, the retirement age will be raised by one year every two years - for example, men born in 1959 and women born in 1964 will receive the right to retire in 2020, namely at the ages of 61 and 56 years, respectively.

Pensions will begin to grow faster

The government claims that raising the retirement age is long overdue and all conditions have been created for this. The current retirement age was introduced back in 1956 in the USSR, when the level of medical and social security was at a low level. Raising the retirement age is necessary, according to the Cabinet of Ministers, for faster growth of pensions themselves. At the moment, according to Medvedev’s estimates, pensions are growing by an average of 400-500 rubles per year (in 2016 the increase was 399 rubles, in 2017 - 524 rubles, in 2018 it will be 481 rubles), the reform will increase the growth rate pension provision doubled - by a thousand rubles per year. Average pension at the end of 2017 it amounted to 13,620 rubles, so by the time the reform is completed it could increase by at least 10 thousand rubles.

Russia took the example of raising the retirement age from Kazakhstan

The retirement age in Russia is one of the lowest not only in the world, but even in comparison with its closest neighbors and the countries of the former Soviet Union. For example, in Kazakhstan, the retirement age for men is 63 years, and for women - 58 years; this level was established back in 2001. Moreover, since 2018, the second stage of increase has been underway in Kazakhstan - by 2027, the retirement age for women will rise to the level of men. Belarus began raising the retirement age in 2017 and intends to increase it to 63 years for men and 58 years for women; this is planned to be done by 2022. For comparison, the retirement age in Norway, which Russia is often cited as an example, is 67 years for both men and women; in the UK, both sexes retire from 65 years of age.

The government will set European standards for pensions

During the government meeting, the Prime Minister said that the Cabinet intends to raise the issue of ratifying the Convention on Minimum Standards of Social Security. “Its provisions will make it possible to bring the legislative regulation of the pension sector to international standards. It establishes a clear relationship between the average size of pensions and average earnings,” noted Dmitry Medvedev. One of the fundamental principles of the Convention is that the pension must be at least 40 percent of the lost income, that is, the employee’s salary.

Pension reform is overdue

As of January 1, 2018, the official population of Russia was 146.9 million people. Of these, 46.5 million people were pensioners, that is, 31.7 percent of the total number, while working pensioners, according to official statistics, were 26.4 percent of the total number of pensioners, or 12.3 million people. The authorities insist that upon reaching retirement age, more than 50 percent of citizens remain working. For example, in 2017, 1.45 million people retired, and 0.73 million of them continued to work. The government fears that the share of working pensioners will continue to rise, leaving the other half unable to raise their pensions.

When current pension standards were set per pensioner, pension system“paid” (paid pension and insurance contributions to social funds) 3.7 people of working age. The current demographic situation and trends in the labor market will lead to the fact that by 2019, only two able-bodied people will “pay” for one pensioner - the system may not be able to cope even with payments at the current level.

Today's retirees have nothing to fear

Dmitry Medvedev noted during a government meeting that current pensioners have nothing to worry about. “No rules are changing regarding current pensioners,” the prime minister assured. Moreover, retirement age benefits will be maintained. We are talking about citizens who work in harmful and dangerous industries, women with five or more children, disabled people, Chernobyl survivors and others. For workers in the Far North, the retirement age will be set at 60 and 58 years, respectively. For citizens with extensive experience, an additional benefit is provided - they will be able to retire for two years ahead of schedule. We are talking about women with more than 40 years of experience and men with more than 45 years of experience.

VAT also went up

In addition to raising the retirement age, during the government meeting it was announced that the value added tax (VAT) would be increased from the current 18 to 20 percent. As First Deputy Prime Minister Anton Siluanov noted at the meeting, this measure will allow for an additional 600 billion rubles in tax revenues per year. “These funds, together with additional income from the completion of the oil and gas maneuver, will be the main sources for financing the national development goals set in the presidential decree of May of this year,” Siluanov said. According to the government's plan, the tax increase will allow businesses to also participate in increasing the pensions of Russians, while without the reform it would not have been possible to maintain the current level of insurance premiums paid by businesses - they would have to be increased.

The documents will be sent to the State Duma

According to Medvedev, the law on raising the retirement age and VAT will be sent to the State Duma in the near future. “All bills, all accompanying documents must be sent to the State Duma as soon as possible, so that our fellow deputies can consider them in the first reading before the end of the spring session. Therefore, I ask all relevant ministers and deputy prime ministers, the government apparatus to deal with this as a priority,” the prime minister demanded. Medvedev, in turn, expressed hope that parliament will support the proposed innovations and quickly adopt them. After the State Duma and the Federation Council, the documents will go to the President of Russia for signature.
