The President signed the Federal Law “On suspension of the second part of Article 43 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, authorities for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and criminal authorities” - the executive system, the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families" in connection with the Federal Law "On the Federal Budget for 2018 and for the planning period of 2019 and 2020."

The federal law was adopted by the State Duma on November 24, 2017 and approved by the Federation Council on November 29, 2017.
Help from the State Legal Department
The federal law was adopted on the basis of paragraph 6 of Article 192 of the Budget Code of the Russian Federation, according to which, if in the next financial year and planning period the total amount of expenses is insufficient to financially support the expenditure obligations of the Russian Federation established by the legislation of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation submits to the State Duma a draft federal law on changing the dates of entry into force (suspension) in the next financial year and planning period of certain provisions of federal laws that are not provided with sources of financing in the next financial year and (or) planning period.
The federal law provides for the suspension until January 1, 2019 of the second part of Article 43 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 No. 4468-1 “On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, control over the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families,” according to which monetary allowance is taken into account when calculating pensions from January 1, 2012 in the amount of 54 percent and starting from 1 January 2013 increases annually by 2 percent until reaching 100 percent of its size.
At the same time, the Federal Law establishes that the amount of monetary allowance taken into account when calculating pensions in accordance with Article 43 of the said Law of the Russian Federation, from January 1, 2018, is 72.23 percent of the amount of the specified monetary allowance. Thus, the Federal Law preserves for 2018 the amount of monetary allowance taken into account when calculating pensions in accordance with Article 43 of the said Law of the Russian Federation, established by the corresponding Federal Law for 2017.

At the same time, the revision (indexation) of pensions for persons who served in military service, service in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation, the State Fire Service, authorities for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families will be issued from January 1, 2018 on the basis of the first part of Article 43 of the said Law of the Russian Federation in connection with the increase in the allowance of military personnel and other relevant categories of citizens.

The procedure for calculating and accruing main types of pensions next year is not subject to change. The main provisions of the pension reform introduced in 2015 will continue to apply.

It still remains frozen (since 2014) - the entire amount of pension contributions goes to form the insurance part of the payment. Amounts previously collected into the savings account will be paid according to the planned plan.

It is important to understand that the article describes the most basic situations and does not take into account a number of technical issues. To solve your particular problem, get legal advice on housing issues by calling the hotlines:

The latest news about the pension system reports the development of a new project. Earlier it was said that the system could begin to function in 2018. However, Government sources report that the draft of the new system is at the development stage and will likely be submitted for Government approval only in 2018. This means that the implementation of the program will begin since 2019. Its first five years will have transitional status.

The main points of individual pension capital are as follows:

contributions will be voluntary and directed to non-governmental organizations;
care of pension capital will be completely transferred to working citizens;
There will be a transition of part of the pension system from state control to the private market.

In the spring, head of state Vladimir Putin ordered the preparation of a document increasing the length of service for employees of law enforcement agencies. According to the draft law, the lower limit of retirement will be increased from twenty to twenty-five years. In this case, we are not talking about indexing. Most likely, military pensions will not be recalculated from October 1, 2017.

Raising the retirement age of military personnel

The security forces have prepared a bill according to which, in order to receive a military pension, a person must have at least 25 years of service. If the initiative is approved, the changes will affect the federal law of February 12, 1993, which regulates pensions for military personnel and members of their families. According to the latest news, increasing the lower threshold will allow the federal budget to save several hundred billion rubles annually.

Work on the document began in the spring, by order of Head of State Vladimir Putin. At the end of May the draft law was ready. However, taking into account the nuances, a number of consultations related to social, financial and economic security still remain before the State Duma begins to consider the document. The adoption of the law is expected next year, after the presidential elections in the country.

Also, the authors of the bill have not yet announced how the procedure for increasing the lower threshold for retirement will be carried out, or whether there will be a transition period. At the moment, only one thing is known: the changes, if adopted, will not affect those military personnel whose contract expiration date coincides with twenty years of service. Everyone else will have to serve an additional five years.

Will there be an increase in military pension?

The issue of raising the lower threshold has been discussed for a long time. Back in 2013, it was proposed to carry out the procedure in two stages:

Until 2019 - an increase of 25% of the pension for those military personnel whose service is more than 20 years, but who continue to serve.
From January 1, 2019 – set the lower threshold for the right to receive a military pension to 25 years.

This initiative was rejected due to insufficient funds in the federal budget to make payments during the transition period.

Two years later, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov returned to this issue. Then the Ministry of Finance proposed increasing the service life to thirty years, but this option was rejected. In addition, the unstable economic situation in the country forced the ministry to refuse to increase payments to this category of pensioners.

While work is underway, it is unknown whether the next indexation of military pensions will take place this year. Previously, in addition to increasing by the amount of inflation, pensions were indexed by an additional 2%. However, this year, most likely, these payments will be suspended. In any case, at the moment the corresponding government decree on the annual increase for this category of recipients has not been published.

“Double” military pension

Security forces who continue to work after retirement have the right to receive a “civilian” pension. Payments are made by the Penfund in the same way as to other recipients: age must be at least 55 and 60 years (for women and men, respectively), minimum work experience of 8 years (in 2017. With an annual increase of one year, by 2024 it will be 15 years).

Average pension size in 2016:

Meanwhile, data from VTsIOM suggests that the majority of Russians want to end their employment relationships and retire at age 56.8.
