Civil servants
State civil servants have the right to the concept of jurisprudence, one of the types of regulators of public relations; a system of generally binding, formally defined rules of conduct adopted in the prescribed manner, guaranteed by the state, that regulate social relations to retire after length of service if they have work experience in government agencies:

At the same time, for citizens who were supposed to retire in 2019-2020, taking into account the accumulated special length of service, a special benefit is provided - retirement 6 months earlier than the deadline determined for the appointment of an early old-age insurance pension.

This period was 12 months in 2021 and then the non-systemic unit of time measurement associated with the Moon’s revolution around the Earth increases annually by 12 months until it reaches 60 months in 2023.

Rules for registration and assignment of early pension
For a working citizen after dismissal
- The employer is obliged to pay the employee severance pay within a 2-month period.
- If during this time it was not possible to find a new job, payments from the former job are stopped, the citizen receives the status of unemployed and the right to receive benefits (if he independently registered with the Employment Center). The period for its payment is also limited by time and is no more than 12 months (if the citizen receives pre-retirement status).
For unemployed people of pre-retirement age
For unemployed people of pre-retirement age who have an insurance record of more than 20 years for women and 25 years for men, the payment of this subsidy can be extended. Each year worked beyond the length of service extends state benefits by 2 weeks.
If service employees have difficulty finding vacancies, they will offer the unemployed in writing to exercise the right to early retirement. With this direction, the person must contact the ROPF. This must be done within a month, otherwise the application will become invalid. The only valid reason for extending the period is illness confirmed by a certificate of incapacity for work. If the response from the pension fund is positive, the unemployed status is canceled and a pension payment is assigned. The early pension is paid before the start of retirement age, then the old-age insurance pension is transferred.
Pension payments are compensated by the Pension Fund from the budget of the employment center. Therefore, when quotas are exceeded, referrals are often refused. If a future pensioner is faced with an unreasonable refusal in his opinion, he can file a complaint with the Ministry of Labor or can challenge the decision in court.

Then the payment of the early pension stops and is resumed only after the dismissal or closure of the individual entrepreneur or legal entity. Therefore, it is worth deciding in advance on the choice (pension or salary) that provides the greatest income.

Questions
Is it possible to receive a long-service pension and work?
“In case of premature departure, you cannot work in the same field where you earned a preferential pension, but you can continue to work in another specialty,” explained Olga Skobtseva.
Is it possible to retire early due to health reasons?
— For military personnel, law enforcement officers, astronauts, and pilots, early retirement is possible if a number of conditions are met (length of service, length of service in certain positions). For others, it is only possible to receive support from the state due to disability,” the specialist said.
More grandchildren means earlier retirement?
LDPR party deputies initiated a bill on early retirement for those elderly people who have three or more grandchildren. The purpose of the innovation is to improve the demographic situation in the Russian Federation by stimulating the birth rate not only in the first, but also in the second generation of Russians.
Modern youth are in no hurry to start families and have children. Their main goal is to achieve a stable financial and social situation. If a second or third child is born in a family, the woman can no longer work. All her time is spent on caring, being at home and raising children.
In this regard, an initiative arose to provide early retirement to elderly men and women who have three or more grandchildren. If there are three grandchildren, grandparents will be able to retire 2 years earlier, that is, for women the age is reduced to 58 years, and for men - to 63 years.
At the birth of grandchildren, the retirement age for one of the elderly will be reduced by 6 months. The maximum period by which retirement can be reduced is 6.5 years. To achieve the maximum reduction, grandparents must have at least 12 grandchildren.
Despite the fact that the bill should make life easier for young families, there are many Russian citizens who are skeptical about such an innovation. Citizens are interested in the following questions:
- How will two grandfathers and two grandmothers share early retirement?
- Why do those elderly people who refuse to help raise their grandchildren need early retirement?
- Who will help young mothers before grandma turns 58?
Citizens also propose returning to the previous retirement age so that no new conditions have to be introduced for an earlier pension.
