Law on raising the retirement age from 1. Raising the retirement age

Until 2019, persons who had reached the age of 65 years for men and 60 years for women were entitled (i.e. 5 years later than the generally established for 2018 retirement age 60/55 years). Under the new law, such a right will arise only upon reaching 70 and 65 years of age(i.e. also with an increase of 5 years relative to the new age of 65/60 years).

At the same time, for social pensions, the law also provides for transitional provisions that establish a gradual increase in the retirement age, starting January 1, 2019(and in 2019 and 2020 there will be preferential terms retirement, according to those proposed by the President).

All new statutory retirement ages for receiving social pensions for men and women (70 and 65 years old, respectively) will be finally established in 2023.

Who will not be affected by raising the retirement age in Russia?

First of all, changes provided for by law from 2019 will not affect those who are already retired- all pensioners will continue to receive all payments already assigned to them in accordance with previously acquired rights and benefits.

Besides, passed law does not provide increasing the retirement age for certain categories of citizens:

  1. Those employed in work with heavy and harmful conditions labor, namely:
    • employees in whose favor the employer pays insurance premiums at the appropriate rates, which were determined as a result of a special assessment of working conditions;

A complete detailed list of persons who will not be affected by the Government's planned increase in the retirement age from 2019 is provided in (PDF file format), prepared by specialists Pension Fund RF.

October 3, 2018 new law about retirement age in Russia No. 350-FZ was signed by the President and officially published on the state legal information portal. A week earlier, it was adopted by State Duma deputies in the third and final reading, taking into account numerous amendments (the main ones were proposed by the President and aimed at mitigating the consequences pension reform). The law comes into force already from January 1, 2019.

The implementation of the reform will already begin from January 1, 2019, while all changes will be made in stages - with a gradual increase in the “working age” annually for 1 year, except for the first two years of the reform, when preferential retirement will be provided (six months earlier). Thus, the new retirement age standards will be finalized in 2023 for men and women.

Pension reform in 2019

The prepared and approved law contains a whole range of changes in the pension legislation of Russia relating to the following types of pensions:

As part of the pension reform, adjustments are expected from 2019 and regarding early pensions:

For all these types of pensions, the age requirements for the right to receive them will be revised in one form or another. Adjustment will start from 01/01/2019 and will occur through a gradual increase in age to the standards provided for by the new law.

Let us consider in more detail each of the proposed changes (by types of pensions and categories of their recipients).

Consideration of the bill

The main change that was proposed by this bill in its original version is the increase in the retirement age from 2019 up to 63 for women and 65 for men(now they are 55 and 60 years old, respectively). However, these parameters of the law were adjusted by presidential amendments. The President proposed the following main measures to mitigate pension reform:

  • lowering the upper limit of the retirement age for women from 63 to 60 years(i.e. the increase will be not for 8, but for 5 years);
  • opportunity to retire 6 months earlier the period provided by law for the first two years (i.e. for those who, according to the old law, had to retire in 2019 and 2020);
  • easing conditions early exit on retire two years earlier than provided for by the new retirement age - this can be done if available;
  • the possibility of preferential registration of pensions for those who raised not only 5 children, but also 3-4 (for three children - retirement 3 years ahead of schedule, for four - 4 years).

Increasing the retirement age for receiving an old-age insurance pension

The bill proposed by the Government provides for a gradual increase in the retirement age, upon reaching which a pension will be assigned (which since 2015 is now called “insurance”). Taking into account the proposed adjustments by President V. Putin, it is planned to fix the age at the level 60 and 65 years for women and men(i.e. the increase will be the same and will be 5 years).

It is proposed to make changes annually, increasing the value of the retirement age: annually for 1 year during the transition period, but with some adjustments:

  • in the period from 2019 to 2020 it will be possible to leave six months ahead of schedule;
  • from 2021 until the end of the transition period (i.e. until 2023), the age value will increase by 1 year.

You can determine in which year a citizen will be able to apply for an old-age pension based on the data in the table.

Table - Retirement age in Russia since 2019 (the law taking into account the adopted amendments proposed by V. Putin)

Year of retirement under the old lawRetirement age under the new lawYear of retirement under the new law
MenWomen
2019 60 + 0,5 55 + 0,5 2019 and 2020
2020 60 + 1,5 55 + 1,5 2021 and 2022
2021 60 + 3 55 + 3 2024
2022 60 + 4 55 + 4 2026
2023 60 + 5 55 + 5 2028

It should be noted that these changes will not affect those who are already retired- they are aimed only at future pensioners who have not yet received an old-age pension according to the standards in force in 2018 (55 and 60 years).

Thus, the first changes envisaged will affect women born in 1964 and men born in 1959- they will be able to retire only in the second half of 2019 and the first half of 2020. Women born in 1965 and men born in 1960 will be able to retire in the second half of 2021 and the first half of 2022. Thus, only those citizens (women and men) who in 2018 are under 55 and 60 years of age.

The law provides for a small “compensatory measure” for such an unpopular decision: employees will be given the right to retire 2 years earlier than the established retirement age. This reduction is provided for women with more than 37 years of experience, subject to reaching 55 years of age, and for men with more than 42 years of experience, upon reaching 60 years of age.

According to the document, on January 1 of next year, a gradual increase in the age will begin, upon reaching which citizens will have the right to receive an old-age insurance pension. By 2023, this age will be (Federal Law of October 3, 2018 No. 350-FZ "").

Please note that in 2019 and 2020, citizens will have the right to apply for a pension six months earlier.
This federal law also, starting next year, establishes the right to early retirement for mothers of many children, an increase in the maximum unemployment benefit for people of pre-retirement age, as well as the right to early retirement for women with 37 years of experience and for men with 42 years of experience.

Also, as part of the pension reform, a number of federal laws have been signed. In particular, from January 1, 2019, in the form of a fine of up to 200 thousand rubles. or in the amount of wages or other income of the convicted person for a period of up to 18 months or compulsory work for a period of up to 360 hours (Federal Law of October 3, 2018 No. 352-FZ ""). Let us recall that this age will be understood as a period of up to five years preceding the assignment of an old-age insurance pension to a person.

  • EXPLANATORY NOTEto the draft federal law “On Amendments

in certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation

on issues of assignment and payment of pensions"

According to the Long-Term Development Strategy pension system of the Russian Federation, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 25, 2012 No. 2524-r (hereinafter referred to as the Strategy), the main principle for improving the formation of pension rights in the distribution component of the pension system is the provision of differentiated pension coverage to citizens, taking into account personal participation in the state pension system of joint character.

The current procedure for calculating the amount of insurance pensions in the context of a negative demographic situation leads to unequal pension rights of insured persons and obligations to pay them pensions.

There is a constant increase in pension recipients against the backdrop of a reduction in the number of persons for whom insurance premiums are paid. The ratio of the number of employed people to the number of pension recipients will be 1.04 by 2025, while now it is 1.12.

The current retirement age - 60 and 55 years for men and women - was first established in 1928 and was further developed in the 30s of the last century. It was established for the main category of citizens in an industrial society (workers employed in the industrial sector) on the basis of their loss of ability to work. Thus, a presumption of disability and loss of wages and other payments and rewards at a certain age was established. At the same time, life expectancy at birth in 1926 - 1927. in the European part of the RSFSR was 43 years.

To date, the life expectancy of Russians as a whole has increased significantly.

At the same time, there is a growing shortage in the labor market, especially of qualified workers and specialists.

Already, 30% of people of retirement age continue to work, and in the first 3 to 5 years after receiving a pension, this figure is much higher. A significant reduction in the number of working pensioners occurs when they reach 65 years of age.

Since the end of the 20th century, in all countries of the world, including the Russian Federation, there has been a decrease in the share of people employed in industry, and there has been a transition from industrial to post-industrial society - a society in which the economy is dominated by white-collar workers and service workers, which implies a long period ability to work.

Over the past one and a half to two decades, the decision to raise the retirement age was made by most developed countries and states - former republics of the USSR.

International standards (ILO Minimum Standards Convention No. 102 social security) it is allowed to set the retirement age at 65 years and above.

In connection with the above, and also taking into account that the pension system must be adequate to the modern economic development of the Russian Federation and comply with international standards, taking into account the experience of raising the standard retirement age by a number of European states and states from the former republics of the USSR, which are economic partners of the Russian Federation. Federation within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union, the bill proposes a gradual increase in the age upon reaching which an old-age insurance pension will be assigned, including early, in accordance with the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”.

Thus, it is proposed to fix the generally established retirement age at 65 and 63 years for men and women, respectively.

The retirement age will be raised gradually during the transition period from 2019 to 2034.

This measure will affect men born in 1959. and women born in 1964 Citizens of the indicated years of birth, taking into account transitional provisions, will have the right to retire in 2020 - at the ages of 61 and 56 years, respectively.

Respectively:

  • men born in 1960, women born in 1965 - will receive the right to retire in 2022 (at the ages of 62 and 57 years, respectively);
  • men born in 1961, women born in 1966 - will receive the right to retire in 2024 (at the ages of 63 and 58 years, respectively);
  • men born in 1962, women born in 1967 - will receive the right to retire in 2026 (at the ages of 64 and 59 years, respectively);
  • men born in 1963, women born in 1968 - will receive the right to retire in 2028 (at the age of 65 and 60 years, respectively);
  • women born 1969 - will receive the right to retire - in 2030
    (at the age of 61);
  • women born 1970 - will receive the right to retire in 2032
    (at the age of 62);
  • women born in 1971 - will receive the right to retire - in 2034
    (at the age of 63 years).

A similar practice of raising the retirement age is found in a number of foreign countries (Belgium, Israel, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Latvia, Greece).

The implementation of this measure will create conditions for increasing the level of pension provision for citizens, taking into account the adaptation of the pension system to new demographic conditions, including taking into account increasing life expectancy, as well as for the annual indexation of pensions above the inflation rate with the balance and long-term financial sustainability of the Russian pension system Federation as a whole.

The measures proposed by the bill will make it possible to achieve the target indicators of the Pension System Development Strategy, aimed at ensuring the balance and long-term financial sustainability of the pension system of the Russian Federation, will ensure long-term growth in the level of pension provision for citizens, including ensuring the indexation of pensions above the inflation rate in accordance with the Presidential Decree Russian Federation dated May 7, 2018 No. 204 “On national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024.”

The draft federal law does not contain provisions introducing excessive administrative and other restrictions and obligations for subjects of business and other activities or facilitating their introduction, as well as provisions that contribute to the emergence of unreasonable expenses of subjects of business and other activities and budgets of all levels of the budget system of the Russian Federation.

The decisions proposed in the draft federal law will not have an impact on achieving the goals of state programs of the Russian Federation.

The draft federal law “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation on the Issues of Assignment and Payment of Pensions” complies with the provisions of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union, as well as the provisions of other international treaties of the Russian Federation.

On the evening of October 3, the day when the pension reform was approved by the Federation Council, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law raising the retirement age for women and men, as well as a number of related laws. In 2019, there will be much fewer pensioners in Russia.

What's happened?

On October 3, 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the Federal Law “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation on the Appointment and Payment of Pensions,” in other words, he increased the retirement age of Russians by 5 years. It is noteworthy that only on the afternoon of October 3 was the law approved by the Federation Council, that is, the head of state hastened to complete the approval of the pension reform as soon as possible. Now you need to understand what this law contains, which comes into force on January 1, 2019 and was officially published the same evening on October 3 on the portal for the official publication of laws and regulations.

Approved provisions of pension reform in Russia

The federal law on raising the retirement age, signed the day before by the President of the Russian Federation, provides for:

  1. From January 1, 2019, a gradual increase in the age at which an old-age insurance pension is assigned for citizens of the Russian Federation:
    • up to 65 years in men;
    • up to 60 years in women.
  2. In addition, the age at which family members of a deceased breadwinner may be declared incapacitated to receive a survivor's insurance pension is increasing. This age is similar to the new retirement age.
  3. For those citizens who in 2019 and 2020 will reach the retirement age established by law as amended in 2018, there is an opportunity to retire six months earlier than established by this Federal Law.
  4. At the same time, persons with an insurance record of at least 42 and 37 years (men and women, respectively) are given the right to receive an old-age insurance pension 2 years earlier than reaching the retirement age generally established for all citizens. But for those citizens who worked in the Far North and equivalent areas, the retirement age is also increased by 5 years for both men and women.
