How is the data received by the Pension Fund?
Data is transferred to the Pension Fund from the employer, who is responsible for transferring contributions from employee salaries. But this is only possible if the employee works under an employment contract. Those who receive a salary in an envelope cannot count on decent deductions in the future.
Citizens working under an employment contract are not responsible for transferring funds to the fund. This responsibility must be fulfilled by their direct employer. But data and funds from employees are not always received in the required volume and on time. Incorrect information may result in incorrect calculation of contributions in the future and retirement later than expected.
All information about the contributions that the client is entitled to upon retirement, his length of service, and the status of his individual personal account is indicated in the extract from the Pension Fund. If, when ordering a document, a citizen discovered that not all years were taken into account when assigning length of service (or other errors in the extract), then it is necessary to apply for correction to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of registration.
How to obtain data from the ILS from the Pension Fund using the SZI-6 form
Insured persons are informed about the status of their individual personal account using the SZI-6 form.
We would like to remind you that the composition of information on the state of the ILS in the SZI-6 form was approved by Resolution of the Pension Fund Board of June 15, 2016 No. 491p.
You can obtain information on the SZI-6 form as follows:
- by contacting the territorial office of the Pension Fund or MFC in person. In this case, you must have an identity document and SNILS with you.
- using the “Personal Account of the Insured Person” posted on the official website of the Pension Fund of Russia
- via postal service. In this case, the applicant sends a corresponding application, to which is attached a copy of the applicant’s identity document and SNILS.
The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation keeps records of the pension rights of citizens to the ILS, which, among other things, displays information about the periods of work experience before registration in the individual (personalized) accounting system. This information for the specified periods was submitted to the Pension Fund by employers in 2003-2004. Information about periods of labor activity before registration in the OPS system was included in the ILS based on the information available in the work book.
If you think that your personal information system does not contain information about the periods of work before registration in the persuet accounting system, you can come to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation with a passport, SNILS, as well as documents confirming the periods of work, the capital branch of the fund reports.
In addition, the ILS displays personal accounting information (about salary, amounts of insurance contributions and length of service) after registration in the OPS system. This information has been submitted by policyholders to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, starting from 1997, only for persons registered in the compulsory insurance system.
Information is included in the ILS only when the policyholder calculates and pays contributions to compulsory health insurance; periods for which insurance premiums are not paid are not included in the length of service and are not entered into personal accounts. Responsibility for providing reliable information rests with the policyholder in accordance with the provisions of Federal Law No. 27-FZ dated April 1, 1996.
According to Art. 18 of this law, disputes between policyholders and insured persons on issues of transfer accounting are resolved by the court.
