Military pension

Military pensions are assigned in a manner different from the rules for registering insurance pensions.

They are issued by those government agencies in which the pensioner served, and not by the Pension Fund of Russia. Military pensions are regulated by legislative act No. 4468 of February 12, 1993.

List of documents

To register with the military registration and enlistment office, a former serviceman will need the following papers:

a passport containing a registration mark;
prescription;
personal file of a pensioner;
military ID. If it is missing, you will need to present another document that confirms the fact of military service, surrender of weapons and ammunition, or leaving the army.

At stage 2, the applicant, in addition to the application for payments, will need:

passport and its photocopies, certified by a notary office employee;
military ID, which contains a record of registration;
monetary and clothing certificates. Today it is impossible to obtain a monetary certificate; government agencies themselves send it to the required institution;
passport size photograph;
SNILS;
employment history;
an extract from the Pension Fund of Russia, which confirms that the army employee did not apply for a pension there.

Attention! If a pensioner served under special conditions, he may need additional papers, which he also needs to take with him.

Features of the pension department

First of all, when applying to the pension department of the military registration and enlistment office, a citizen must have with him the most important identification document - a passport. The military registration and enlistment office undertakes the obligation not only to transfer the necessary information to the Pension Fund, but also to carry out explanatory work for military personnel, therefore, before deciding to apply for a pension, it is advisable to receive qualified assistance.

Contacting the pension department has a positive meaning in the life of a former serviceman, since representatives of the military commissariat are competent to send certain types of requests to government agencies. For example, if a pension is issued for disability, then the citizen is not required to collect evidence. Through the healthcare institution, the request will be submitted to the medical and social commission, and the result will automatically be included in the resulting package of documents.

From the moment the application for accrual of pension is submitted, the military registration and enlistment office carries out work to reconcile the data. In case of inconsistencies in the information provided, he takes on maximum tasks to eliminate these inconsistencies. The citizen’s application is registered properly and therefore must be considered. The serviceman's only concern is that the documents provided from the registry office must have a notarized copy.

In some cases, military registration and enlistment offices transfer the original documents to the divisions of the regional commissariat, where copies are made and added to the general package of pension documents. After any decision on granting a pension is made, the original documents are sent back to the municipal department of the military registration and enlistment office. A citizen cannot count on such a gesture of goodwill, since this action is not the direct responsibility of the commissariat.

The regional military registration and enlistment office is obliged to review the submitted documents within 7 days. The decision to pay a pension may not always be positive. The response letter indicates the main reasons for the refusal; this may be a lack of documents or unspecified data.

Registration of a second pension for the military - nuances

Having reached the appropriate age, former military personnel have the right to apply for a 2nd pension. In 2021, this will require a minimum of ten years of experience and a total coefficient of at least 16.2.

Unlike the calculation for ordinary citizens who receive an old-age insurance pension, when calculating the insurance pension for the military, the fixed part is not taken into account. The minimum that a former military personnel can receive from the Pension Fund is 1,413.29 rubles.

To start receiving a 2nd pension, a former army employee must meet the following criteria:

Age category.
If a retired military man applies for his first pension upon reaching a certain army (20 years) or mixed (12.5 years) service or disability, then the opportunity to apply for insurance payments appears only when the citizen reaches retirement age.
Experience. One of the most important criteria that influences both the possibility of obtaining an insurance pension and the amount of payments. The minimum required work experience has increased to 10 years in 2021. In the future, its value may increase to 15 years. The maximum length of service is unlimited.
Pension points . The more contributions an employer makes to the Pension Fund, the more pension points a citizen will receive. The minimum number of pension points for processing insurance payments is 16.2.

It is worth saying that the registration of the 2nd pension is of a declarative nature. Therefore, without providing the necessary papers and an application, payments will not be processed.

Having reached a certain age, a retired military man has the right to submit an application for insurance payments to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or a multifunctional center. In addition, it is possible to send documents through the post office or the personnel department of the employer company. If the former military member is registered on the government services website, he can submit all the papers online.

Insurance part of pension for military personnel

The formula for calculating the insurance part of pensions for retired Russian army employees has been truncated when compared with the formula for calculating payments to civilians. Individual pension points are multiplied by their current price. The product will indicate the size of the insurance part of the pension for a former military man.

For retired military personnel who are not working, the 2nd pension was indexed in January 2019.
Payments have increased due to changes in the price of pension points; now it is 87.24 rubles.
The amount of insurance payments for employed former military personnel has not changed. However, it is planned to increase it slightly at the end of summer. The increase is planned to be carried out by increasing the price of pension points that were earned in 2021.

A significant increase in pensions is planned in mid-autumn 2019, when the state recalculates the pension provision for long service. Military pensions will increase by 6.3 percent due to an increase in pay by 4.3 percent and two percent indexation.

A former military man has the right to apply for an insurance pension. However, its size will be smaller than for civilians. This is due to the fact that military pensioners already receive a good basic pension; the state cannot afford to allocate additional funds for their maintenance, especially with the current pension reform.
