Retirement pension for servicemen: rules of calculation, allowances and features

People in military uniform for many years are serving the people and their native land, sometimes protecting their homeland with their own breasts. And therefore, in the nature of their activities, they very often retire much earlier than the rest of the working-age population.

And in this case, perhaps, the most pressing questions are "do people in this profession receive an extra charge for long service" and "what does the term" pension for servicemen for long service "mean?" In this and other equally important issues we will try to understand in detail below.

Who of the citizens can use the pension for long service?

Based on the law of the Russian Federation, servicemen can apply for a pension for long service in such cases:

• At the time of separation from the ranks of military personnel, the total length of service must be at least 20 years;
• If the total amount of work is 25 years, but only half of them are given to military service, while the age of a person is 45 years, you can get a pension for length of service only if you have health problems or the age limit for the position you are occupying.

If at least one of the above conditions is present, then the person has the full right to a retirement pension for servicemen.

But in the case when the reverse situation occurs, the length of service is added to the total length of service. As a result, a person goes on deserved rest on general grounds, which are stipulated by the pension legislation.

Retirement age

It should be noted that the maximum retirement age for each category of servicemen is the following:

• Employees of rank and file - 50 years;
• The average generals are 60 years old;
• The highest staff - 65 years;
• Women - 45 years.

This applies only to people in military uniform who serve the good of their homeland.

The conditions for awarding a pension for long service by servicemen

Very often people are interested in the question of what are the conditions for calculating the monetary allowance for long service.

In order for a serviceman to receive a pension for long service, the following is necessary:

• Passing service in the army of the former USSR, the CIS or the Russian Federation;
• A person must serve his country over 20 years or reach retirement age.

There are several other cases where such a payment is made, this applies to persons who have served in internal affairs agencies, bodies that control the trafficking of narcotic drugs, and in the bodies of the criminal system. But at the same time, the calculation of the pension benefit is slightly different.

Features of the accrual of military pensions

If a person falls under the above requirements, he can claim the pension for servicemen for years of service.

But what will be the size of this payment, we will consider below.

If at the time when there is a dismissal and leaving for a well-deserved rest, there is a service at least for 20 years, the net amount of pension will be equal to half of the salary that a person received during the period of service. This rule applies to people who have a total work record of at least 25 years, of which half were given to military service. For example, if a person has a military salary of 30,000 rubles a month, then the net amount of the pension payment without allowances will be 15,000 thousand rubles a month.

Accrual procedure

What is the procedure for awarding a pension for long service to servicemen?

If a person has spent more than 20 years on service, there will be discrepancies. In other words, a person who served for more than 20 years in the armed forces will be able to claim a supplement to a clean pension of 3% more for each revised year. It is worth considering that the total amount of the pension received with additives for processing can not exceed 85% of the previously received salary. And for an example, this would look like this: if the average monthly salary was 30 000 thousand rubles for an annual period, then from this sum additional 3% to a net pension is calculated.

If the soldier has a mixed experience, namely, half is given to the service, and the second half is passed in other structures, then for each revised year the increase will be only 1%. And it will be calculated according to the same principle as described above.

Types of payments

It is worth noting that the appointment of a pension for long service by servicemen consists of several types of payments, namely:

• The rate on posts;
• The rate for military specialty or rank;
• A monetary supplement for long service;
• Payments related to indexation of pensions;
• Refund of cash for food and monthly cost of military rations.

It is also important that the bonus received for the service in remote regions will not be included. Since in this case the calculation of the pension payment will be made entirely by another formula. In addition, at the legislative level, the amount of retirement pension for servicemen is adopted and clearly controlled.

This amount should be exactly 100% of the main part of the old-age pension, which was established at the time of calculation and registration of military personnel. In practice, it looks like this: if at the time of registration of a pension there is a monetary allowance of 10,000 rubles, then a military pensioner is not allowed to pay below this level.

Is it possible to receive two pensions at the same time? How correctly to issue them?

First of all, every serviceman can refuse to provide pensions for long service in favor of a pension that is issued on old age. In this case, the power has developed and consolidated at the legislative level the possibility of receiving money for old age as a long service, and a guaranteed old-age pension.

A pension for servicemen for long service may be paid together with the old-age pension provided that the following items are observed:

• A person after the end of military service must continue to work under the contract;
• A person who wishes to receive a monetary allowance for old age must reach the required age in accordance with the law;
• The total insurance period must be at least 5 years;
• According to the law, military servicemen have the right to receive monetary allowance for long service.

It should be borne in mind that when calculating the old-age pension, the periods of activity of a military pensioner are not taken into account if they have already been taken into account.

How is the calculation of seniority for servicemen who served under special conditions?

Almost every serviceman has information that the length of service does not always take place in calendar terms. If a person wore military service in special conditions or was involved in performing complex tasks, then a preferential accrual of retirement pension for servicemen is applied to this person.

For example, a person took part in hostilities or served at a time when a state of emergency was established . In such situations, a special calculation is applied to this person. This rule applies to those servicemen who took an active part in the counter-terrorist operations in the North Caucasus.

Each month, such a service will be trebled. In other words, the month is considered to be 3. Accordingly, the calculation of the pension for long service by servicemen will be made 1: 3. The legislation of our country has also identified other cases where the calculation of seniority is possible on a preferential basis. Preferential accruals have the right to use in the event that the service and residence take place in a region with unfavorable climatic conditions. These include the Far North and other regions of our country that are equal to this region.

But at the same time, there is one very important point: if a military pensioner resumes his professional activity, this payment will be inaccessible. If a person resigns, the payment is resumed and will be re-counted. In this case, there will be an increase for each worked year.

Additions to the retirement pension for servicemen in 2017

The coming year will bring absolutely all military pensioners who deserve it, a seniority bonus. It will be calculated not only in the form of a monetary supplement, but also in the bonus system, namely:

• In the case when the military experience is more than 30 years, the put bonus will be 1 point;
• Well, and if the military experience was over 40 years, then the bonus will be many times more - 5 points.

Will the indexation of military pensions in 2017?

The coming year will please many military pensioners, and not only them. The most unprotected layer of the population expect several pleasant surprises. Which ones? We read further.

Since February 1 of this year, there has been an increase in pension payments to absolutely all non-working pensioners. The surcharge was 5.4%. Moreover, the good news does not end there, since this payment will increase by 0.4% from April. As a result, the overall increase will be 5.8%.

How will the retirement pension be indexed for servicemen? As for a special category of civil servants, in particular, military personnel, this group of people is known to have special rights, so raising their pensions will be as follows:

• Mandatory annual increase of 2% regardless of the level of inflation and other factors;
• Mandatory indexation of pension payments on the percentage of inflation, as is known, it was 5.4%.

If to make simple calculations, then the picture is obvious - the pension for servicemen for long service will increase by 7.4%.

In addition, all the benefits remain for military pensioners. As before, people of advanced age from this layer have the right to use free travel on certain types of public transport. Moreover, absolutely all military pensioners have the right to a discount when paying for travel in other modes of transport.

But this is not the whole list of benefits. When a person receives the status of a military pensioner, he has the full right to use a discount of 75% for a ticket to a sanatorium. It is also important that the tax burden for this category of citizens is much less than for other segments of the population. The discount for tax applies to the vehicle and the land plot. It is worth noting that there is another rather impressive preference in the form of extraordinary compensation for utility bills. This is what the privileged length of service for retired servicemen means.

Conclusion

The last few years for our country were quite complex. The past time was especially hard for the most vulnerable segment of the population - pensioners. But the coming year brought faith and hope that everything will be all right, and, as can be seen from all of the above, the positive trend is obvious.

As for military pensioners, the conclusions are unambiguous: this section of the population of our country is fully supported by the government. And this is very important. As retired servicemen with honor defended their land and people for many years. And when the legal right to deserved rest has come, the state has not forgotten about them, but continues to care and support financially.
