And “it’s not allowed,” as it turned out, because for some reason many types of activities directly related to agriculture were not included in the list of professions, positions and specialties approved by the government. Here are excerpts from some of the letters.
“My total work experience is 39.5 years. Of these, 34 are on the collective farm, that is, in agriculture,” writes Ekaterina Ivanovna Obukhova from the village of Semenovka, Kastorensky district, Kursk region. — Worked as a chief accountant, in a responsible position. At the same time, the head of the collective farm is in the list of professions and positions, but the chief accountant is not. As a result, the Pension Fund did not include the period of work after 1992 in the required length of service, and I did not accumulate the 30 years required for the bonus. Isn’t it absurd?”
The Pension Fund explained to Ekaterina Ivanovna: they say, you didn’t work in production, not on the land, but in an office. “But on the collective farm, everyone worked in the fields during the harvest: they harvested 1.5 hectares of beets, they worked on the grain on the threshing floor,” objects Ekaterina Obukhova. “For example, I myself filled the sowing machine with seeds.”
Another of our readers, Valentina Mikhailovna Alyabyeva, spent her entire working life at the Shuiskaya poultry farm in the Ivanovo region. I've worked in all sorts of ways for 31 years. “But I don’t have any supplements. The Pension Fund said “my position is not on the list,” writes Valentina Mikhailovna. — I worked as a storekeeper at a grain warehouse, received grain from combines during harvesting and released it for sowing. At this time, the day is irregular, from early morning until night. Then I worked in the veterinary unit - as a worker, then as a laboratory assistant: we checked the quality of feed, monitored the development of the birds. There was a period when I worked as the head of a feed shop, and most recently as a poultry worker. Resigned in 2003. And it turned out that these works also do not belong to agricultural work. Maybe the entire poultry farm is not an agricultural enterprise?”
There is a lot of confusion with related specialties: hydraulic engineers, land reclamation workers, of course, did not directly grow grain and did not graze flocks. But they drained the swamps...
“I ask you to look into the related professions that are on the list for villagers to receive bonuses, for example hydraulic engineers, land reclamation workers, etc.,” writes Ziya Fethullovich Matulin from the village of Oktyabrsky, Penza region. — I have 24 years of work experience at the Kalinin collective farm and 8 years at the Neverkinsky PMK reclamation plant as a chief mechanical engineer. PMCs for reclamation were created in each district, our task was to drain the swamps, transport peat and organic fertilizers to collective farm fields, and during the harvest season everyone was sent to field work - from plowing the plowed land to harvesting the crops. However, my experience in the PMK of reclamation is not included in my work experience in agriculture.”
By the way, many other readers found themselves in the same situation: in the early 90s, mechanical workshops and collective farm forges were “removed” from collective farms: it was decided to create inter-district technical enterprises, which became a repair base and serviced equipment from all collective and state farms. This is how the regional associations “Selkhoztekhnika” and “Transselkhoztekhnika” appeared. Mechanics, mechanics, blacksmiths, drivers, in fact, remained at their jobs and did the same thing. But now the time they remained collective farmers was counted toward the length of service required for the bonus, but the period of work in the interdistrict association was no longer counted. Viktor Petrovich Prikolota from the village of Nizhnyaya Serebryanka in the Belgorod region, Sergei Alekseevich Burin from the Republic of Mari El, Sergei Fedotovich Polikarpov from the Talovsky district of the Voronezh region and other readers wrote to us about this. Another missed group of rural retirees are veterinarians. “I worked at the Kalacheevskaya station for combating animal diseases for 37 years,” writes Raisa Ivanovna Sverskaya from the village of Pirogovo, Voronezh region. — Our veterinary district served three collective farms: “Leninskaya Iskra”, “Red Partisan”, “Rodina”, and I was a veterinary assistant. In our care there were 950 dairy cows, 4,700 young animals, 11,500 pigs, and 11,300 sheep. In addition, we treated animals in the private sector - in only five villages.” Then the standard question: why does this work “not count”?
There is a strange situation with the permanent place of residence of a pensioner. Now the law says this: in order to receive a pension supplement, a person must work 30 years in agriculture and still live permanently in a rural area. But here’s an example: many agricultural enterprises are located near the city, and people from the outskirts of the city went to work there. But it turns out that they didn’t earn the right to the bonus, because they “didn’t qualify for registration.”
RG - Nedelya contacted the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection for comment. The fact is that government decree No. 1440, paragraph 2, stipulates that, on the proposal of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Labor can supplement the list of jobs, professions, specialties and positions by establishing the identity of the type of activity indicated in the work book with a suitable item on the list. That is, the resolution contains the opportunity to fill the gaps (unregistered professions and positions) and restore justice for those pensioner villagers who were crossed out. We asked the Ministry of Agriculture to answer the question: is the Ministry conducting an “inventory” of the approved list, and is it going to contact the Ministry of Labor regarding its addition and expansion? The answer made us very happy. This is what the Ministry of Agriculture told RG - Nedelya.
Pointed question
On increasing pensions for villagers
It's no secret that life and work in the countryside is difficult. Therefore, it is quite natural that in 2021, amendments to pension legislation came into force, which provide additional pension supplements for rural residents. The decision to increase pensions for rural pensioners was proposed as part of the pension reform carried out by the Government, and the corresponding additional payments will be assigned from January 1, 2021.
What did the head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin tell pensioners?
How much money is allocated for this event? The Pension Fund has allocated 16 billion rubles for the implementation of this decision, said the head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin, adding that, of course, the amount will be indexed in the future.
“The Pension Fund and I have been looking at the entire history of this issue for a year and a half, about 945 - 950 thousand people with extensive experience who live in rural areas will begin to receive this payment. In addition to the thousand rubles that will be received on average by all pensioners in connection with the increase in pension levels by 7% from January 1, these citizens will receive an additional 1,300-1,400 rubles on average,” Topilin told reporters.
The head of the Ministry of Labor explained that citizens affected by this measure will not need to contact the Pension Fund, since all cases have already been prepared.
How pensions will increase
The pension increase for rural pensioners in 2021 will be carried out in two stages:
- From 01/01/2019, pensions for villagers will be indexed by 7.05%, as a result of which citizens will receive an additional increase in pensions of an average of 1,000 rubles. This additional payment will be made only to unemployed rural residents receiving insurance pension payments.
- For working in agriculture for more than 30 years, pensioners will be given a bonus of 25% of the fixed payment to the insurance pension. The appointment of such an additional payment to the pension was already provided for by law, but due to the difficult economic situation in the country, its payment was not carried out.
Who is entitled to additional payments?
Who will receive a 25% increase in pension? All pensioners who previously worked in agriculture and have worked for at least 30 years will receive an increase in their pension. This rule applies to both women and men.
Although it is immediately worth noting that the required interest will not be added to the entire amount of pension payments, but will only take into account the fixed part of the pension. The Pension Fund will make recalculations based on available documents about the pensioner. Therefore, there is no need to write applications. (https://build-experts.ru/uvelichat-pensiyu-na-25/)
The category of persons entitled to an increase in the fixed payment to the insurance pension are recipients of:
- old age insurance pension;
- insurance pension and disability, paragraph 14 of article 17 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On insurance pensions”.
Conditions for increasing the fixed payment to the insurance pension:
- experience of at least 30 calendar years in agriculture;
- the person must not work and (or) carry out other activities;
- the citizen must live in a rural area. Clause 14 of Article 17 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”.
The amount of increase in the fixed payment to the insurance pension is 25% of the amount of the established fixed payment (clause 14 of Article 17 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”).
The transition period for recalculating the fixed payment is from January 1, 2021, without the pensioner filing an application if the necessary information is available in the payment file.
In this case, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation carries out the specified recalculation no later than September 1, 2021. Clause 5 of Article 10 of the Federal Law of October 3, 2018 No. 350-F 3 “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation on the appointment and payment of pensions.”
The pensioner has the right at any time to submit additional documents necessary for recalculation.
If a pensioner applies for recalculation in the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, recalculation is carried out from January 1, 2021. Clause 5 of Article 10 of the Federal Law of October 3, 2018 No. 350-F 3 “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation on the appointment and payment of pensions.”
If a pensioner applies for recalculation after December 31, 2019, then recalculation is carried out from the 1st day of the month following the month in which the application for recalculation of the pension amount was accepted, paragraph 2 of part 1 of Article 23 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “ About insurance pensions."
Indexation of pensions for rural residents from January 1, 2021
In 2021, instead of the traditional indexation of insurance pensions from February 1 to the amount of inflation, indexation will be carried out from the beginning of the year - from January 1, and at a higher rate (above inflation).
This increase will be carried out for all non-working recipients of insurance pensions in Russia, including rural residents. Previously, government officials have repeatedly reported in the media that the increase in pensions in 2021 will be made on average
1000 rubles monthly
(thereby, throughout the year, the income of pensioners will increase by an average of 12,000 rubles). However, it is worth clarifying that the legislation provides for indexation not in a strictly fixed amount (per 1000 rubles), but
by a certain percentage of the pension already received
.
In accordance with this, in 2021, insurance pensions will be indexed by 7.05%, so the amount of the increase will be determined individually for each specific pensioner:
- The announced bonus of 1,000 rubles will be received by those villagers who receive the average pension in Russia - 14,414 rubles. at the end of 2021;
- if the amount of the pension already paid is less than the specified amount, then the increase will be less;
- if pension payments are more than 14,414 rubles, then the additional payment will be more than a thousand rubles.

The latest news from the Government of the Russian Federation, which appeared in the media after the New Year and Christmas holidays, reports that several new laws adopted last year by people's legislators have come into effect at once. After lengthy discussions, discussions and indignation, a pension reform was adopted, the so-called Federal Law No. 350, according to which the retirement age was raised.
Now it is presented as an additional preference to the pension reform, which provides for a widespread raising of the age barrier for retirement. Or as partial compensation for adding another 5 years to the required retirement age.
This bonus has been frozen for 2 years
From 2021, it is available to unemployed rural residents who receive an old-age or disability insurance pension, who are not employed anywhere, and have at least 30 years of work experience. The bonus is not applied to the entire deserved pension, but only to a fixed payment, the amount of which is established by the government annually.
Provided you meet all the requirements, you can count on it without a statement. The list of necessary conditions is as follows:
- there is work experience in a certain position specified in the relevant clause of the law (for example, an agronomist, a state farm director, an agricultural machinery repairman, a veterinarian, a fish farmer, a livestock specialist, etc.) for a full three decades;
- living only in rural areas (those who moved to the city lose the right to receive a 25% bonus to the fixed payment);
- calculation of years worked is counted taking into account periods of official employment, vacations, sick leave and child care time, if they are accumulated for no more than 6 full calendar years;
- the current absence of any types of activities with official and unofficial registration for which the pensioner receives wages.
Not all pensioners are eligible for the supplement.
If the pensioner meets all of the above requirements, the supplement to the fixed payment will be calculated automatically by the Pension Fund of Russia. This means that the applicant for an increase in the size of the fixed payment does not need to take any action - write an application, re-submit documents, or contact the hotline, local branch, or social security authorities.
Dear editors! On TV, the news repeated stories several times that “rural residents will receive a 25% increase in their pensions.” It feels like the city's news reporters don't really care about what they're talking about. For example, on the RIA.Novosti website I read: “Topilin spoke about additional payments to pensions for rural residents with extensive experience.”
Sincerely, N. Bondarenko, Matveev Kurgan

Calls are accepted on this day at (3852) 399-800 from 10.00 to 11.00. Natalia Viktorovna Mochalova, deputy manager of the regional pension department, will answer questions.
Let us remind you that on January 1, 2021, changes to the law on pensions came into force. They provide additional financial support for non-working pensioners who permanently reside in rural areas and have a long history of work in agriculture. For them, a 25% increase is introduced to the fixed payment of an old-age or disability insurance pension.
Villagers can count on an increase to the fixed payment of the insurance pension if three necessary conditions are met. Firstly, at least 30 years of work in certain positions and industries in agriculture. Secondly, living in rural areas. And the third condition is the absence of the very fact of work.
In accordance with the Law “On Insurance Pensions”, persons who have worked for at least 30 years in agriculture and do not carry out work and (or) other activities during which they are subject to compulsory pension insurance are entitled to an increase in the fixed payment to the old-age insurance pension and to disability insurance pension in the amount of 25 percent for the entire period of their residence in rural areas.
Also, by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 29, 2018 No. 1440, a list of works, industries, professions, positions, and specialties was approved, in accordance with which such an increase is due.
The Ministry of Agriculture of Russia receives numerous requests from citizens regarding the establishment of payments and additions to the list of professions that are not included in it.
In connection with this, the Ministry of Agriculture has prepared and sent corresponding proposals to the Ministry of Labor and the Pension Fund of Russia in terms of providing payments to persons who have worked for at least 30 calendar years in agriculture, and supplementing the list with a number of types of professions, positions, specialties, such as storekeeper, accountant, worker construction team of an agricultural enterprise, a worker at a machine-reclamation station, an electrical engineer, a number of veterinary service positions and others.
These proposals from the Russian Ministry of Agriculture are being studied by the Russian Ministry of Labor.
PS We will monitor the development of the situation.

The increase will affect not only ordinary agricultural workers, but also directors and deputy directors of state farms, chairmen of collective farms, heads of workshops and brigades, etc. Related specialties were also included in the list: hydraulic engineers, land reclamation workers, and power engineers. The main thing is that their place of work is an agricultural enterprise.
In monetary terms, the “rural” increase in pension will be 1333.6 rubles, that is, 25 percent of the fixed payment, which from January 1, 2021 will increase to 5334.2 rubles.
Another important point: according to the rules, citizens who continue to permanently reside in rural areas will receive an increased fixed pension payment. If a citizen is registered in a rural locality, and this is reflected in his pension file, there is no need to confirm his place of residence.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=channelUCb9HHlJoo84MuA1xRr8SeYA
If we are talking about the actual place of residence, it will have to be confirmed annually by submitting an application to the territorial body of the Pension Fund or the multifunctional center of public services. However, the document notes that if a pensioner chooses to have his pension delivered by mail to the place where he lives (and not to a bank account), in this case confirmation of his place of residence is not necessary.

How can agricultural workers get a raise?
It is very important that the pension increase for rural pensioners in 2019 will be carried out without an application, if the Pension Fund has all the necessary data on the presence of more than 30 years of experience in agriculture and the actual residence of the pensioner in a rural area. This means that you do not need to contact the Pension Fund to receive the supplement - the pension amount will be increased automatically.
Conclusion: from January 1, 2021, the increase in pensions for pensioners living in villages with at least 30 years of experience will be about 2,400 rubles. This measure will affect those who have worked in agriculture for 30 years and those who are not currently working and live in rural areas.
Rural supplement - legislative framework
An increase in pensions for rural pensioners for long service was laid down in legislation back in 2013. According to Part 14 of Art. 17 Federal Law No. 400 “On Insurance Pensions”, a fixed payment for those who worked in agriculture for more than 30 years, provided for an increase in the PV (fixed payment) by 25%.
However, a moratorium was imposed on this provision of the law in 2021 due to the difficult economic situation, which is reflected in Art. 1 Federal Law No. 428. Previously, the “freeze” was supposed to last until 2020, but the implementation of pension reform made it possible to return to resolving the issue earlier. V. Putin announced the need to resume paying village residents a 25% bonus during a televised address to the people at the end of 2021.
Based on Art. 9 Federal Law No. 350 dated October 3, 2018, the increase for rural experience began to be paid on January 1, 2021. In addition, the list of pensioners entitled to such an increase is constantly expanding, which means the number of applicants is increasing.
Since the calculation of the rural bonus is tied to a fixed payment, it is subject to indexation. That is, together with the increase in insurance pensions in January 2021, the increase for agricultural experience will also be calculated.
How to submit missing documents
What to do if the Pension Fund does not have documents confirming the right to receive an increase in pension?
A citizen has the right to provide additional documents at any time. But the date of provision of these documents will be taken into account:
- When applying from January 1 to December 31, 2021, a pension supplement for work in rural areas will be assigned from January 1, 2019.
- If the necessary documents are provided in 2021 and later, then the additional payment will be assigned only from the next month after the date of application (clause 2, part 1, article 23 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013). For example, if a pensioner submits documents in March 2020, then the increased pension will be assigned to him only from April 1, 2021.
Increase in pension for more than 30 years of service (for work in agriculture)
For pensioners who have worked for 30 or more years in agriculture in a position provided for in the list, a 25% increase in the fixed payment to the insurance pension will be paid. According to Art. 9 of Law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018, such additional payment for long work experience in rural areas will be assigned from January 1, 2021 and paid in accordance with the procedure prescribed by law.
Such an allowance was already provided for by part 14 of Art. 17 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 “On Insurance Pensions”, but the operation of such a norm was suspended due to the difficult situation in the country’s economy (Article 1 of Law No. 428-FZ of December 19, 2016) Moratorium on the payment of the bonus to rural pensioners was envisaged until January 1, 2021, but in connection with the pension reform, it was decided to “unfreeze” the effect of this norm ahead of schedule .
A pension supplement for work experience in agriculture is assigned only to non-working pensioners receiving an old-age or disability insurance pension. In this case, not the amount of the paid pension itself will be increased by 25%, but only the amount of the fixed payment to the insurance pension (IF).
According to Part 8 of Art. 10 of Law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018, the amount of the fixed payment for 2021 is set equal to 5334.19 rubles. , therefore, the following increase is expected for rural pensioners:
- 1333.55 rub. — for persons receiving old age and disability payments of groups 1 and 2;
- RUB 666.77 — for citizens receiving disability insurance pension of group 3.
Who is entitled to a 25 percent pension supplement for working in rural areas?
an old-age or disability insurance pension can receive a 25% increase in pension for work in agriculture . In addition, the following mandatory conditions must be met:
- A pensioner must have at least 30 years of work experience in agriculture in a position that is included in the list established by the Government. Only periods of work with official employment will be taken into account, during which insurance premiums were paid to the Pension Fund for such an employee.
- During the period of assignment of the additional payment, the pensioner must be unemployed , i.e. not to carry out labor or other activities for which insurance premiums are paid to the Pension Fund.
- Live permanently in a rural area.
According to Part 15 of Art. 17 of Law No. 400-FZ, when moving to a new place of residence outside of rural areas, the 25% surcharge for work in agriculture will be canceled . Therefore, increased pensions will be paid to villagers only during the period the pensioner lives in rural areas .
List of professions for pension supplement for agricultural workers
A list of professions and positions in which work allows a rural pensioner to receive a 25% pension supplement , as well as the procedure for calculating special work experience, is established by the Government. The draft Resolution has already been prepared by the Ministry of Labor and submitted for public discussion on October 2, 2021. By the end of 2021 , the development of this document will be completed and the Resolution will be officially published .
The project provides lists of specialties and professions for three types of production: crop farming, livestock farming and fish farming. A sample list of positions is presented in the table below:
| Production | Name of specialty, profession, position |
| Plant growing (vegetable growing, fruit growing, forestry, floriculture, etc.) |
|
| Animal husbandry (horse breeding, sheep breeding, fur farming, poultry farming, dairy and beef cattle breeding, beekeeping, etc.) |
|
| Fish farming on state farms, collective farms, agricultural cooperatives, peasant farms, etc. |
|
The length of service is calculated in calendar order for the following periods:
- Periods of labor activity in the territory of the Russian Federation according to the provided list of professions, subject to payment of insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of Russia;
- Periods of labor activity on the territory of the USSR until January 1, 1992 according to the provided list of positions;
- Periods of work on collective farms, state farms, machine and tractor stations, inter-collective farm enterprises, peasant farms, which were carried out before January 1, 1992, without mandatory requirements for the position held .
It should be noted that periods of receiving temporary disability benefits, annual paid leave, as well as periods of child care up to one and a half years (in total no more than 6 years) are also included in work experience in agriculture , which gives the right to receive a 25% pension supplement.
How to get a raise for agricultural workers
An increase in pensions for rural pensioners in 2021 will be carried out without an application , if the Pension Fund has all the necessary data on the presence of more than 30 years of experience in agriculture and the actual residence of the pensioner in a rural area. This means that you do not need to contact the Pension Fund to receive the supplement - the pension amount will be increased automatically.
According to Part 5 of Art. 10 of Law No. 350-FZ, an increase in pension is assigned from January 1, 2021, but the deadline for recalculation is provided until September 1, 2021 . All funds that should be accrued from January 1, 2019 until the actual recalculation is carried out will be compensated and received immediately for all months of such delay.
If the Pension Fund does not have documents confirming the right to receive an increase in pension, then the citizen has the right to provide additional documents at any time In this case, the date of provision of these documents will be important:
- When applying from January 1 to December 31, 2019, a pension supplement for work in rural areas will be assigned from January 1, 2019.
- If the necessary documents are provided in 2020 and later , then the additional payment will be assigned only from the next month after the date of application (clause 2, part 1, article 23 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013). For example, if a pensioner submits documents in February 2021, then the increased pension will be assigned to him only from March 1, 2021.

Summary
I note, as it is said, “who exactly now lives in rural areas.” It is not entirely fair if a person worked in agriculture all his life, but in old age went to live with his children in the city. Won't he be morally offended?
Note: list of professions, positions in rural areas who are entitled to a 25% increase in the fixed payment to the insurance pension.

What categories of rural pensioners will receive a pension supplement?
Now about the proposed list of professions for which it is possible to receive additional funds. At the moment, the government is agreeing on an exact list of positions; it is assumed that the following will be able to apply for the subsidy:
- Employees involved in vegetable growing, floriculture, fruit growing, forestry (agronomists, agricultural technicians, combine operators, truck drivers, machine operators, mechanics, repairmen and mechanics of agricultural equipment, chairmen of collective farms, heads of state farms).
- Employees involved in meat and dairy farming, sheep breeding, horse breeding, poultry farming, beekeeping, fur farming (veterinarians, paramedics, orderlies, technicians, technologists, machine milking operators, poultry and livestock breeding masters, beekeepers, agricultural managers).
- Employees involved in fish farming (fish breeders, ichthyologists, fish farming engineers and mechanics, members of fishing cooperatives, directors of fish growing and processing enterprises).
