It should also be borne in mind that the procedure for calculating the second payment to military pensioners involves the exclusion of the following periods:

service, work and other periods labor activity taken into account when determining the size military pension for years of service;
service that took place prior to the appointment of the disability payment.

Indexation of insurance pension provision

The second pension for the military, as well as assigned to ordinary citizens, is subject to the state. The amount of the increase is set in the amount of the inflation rate of the previous year in accordance with clause 10, art. 18 law "About insurance pensions".

In 2019 insurance payments were indexed by 7.05% - this increase exceeds the inflation of the previous year. In addition, the indexing itself has been moved from February 1st to January 1st. The cost of IPC in this moment is 87.24 rubles.

A further increase in the second pension for military personnel () may occur in August of this year and it will be associated with an increase for those pensioners who worked last year. The deadline for this recalculation is August 1. But do not forget that the maximum increase in this case will be limited to three points expressed in monetary terms.

When should I apply for a civil pension?

You can apply for military pensioners Anytime without any time limit, but not before the emergence of the right on her.

It should be remembered that the right to a second payment arises if all the conditions necessary for the appointment of an insurance pension are met. In 2019 the general requirements are as follows:

reaching the age of 60.5 years for men and 55.5 years for women;
the minimum insurance period not taken into account when assigning a military pension must be 10 years;
the minimum sum of individual scores must be equal to 16.2;
the fact of assigning a pension through law enforcement agencies.

The general procedure for applying for an insurance pension, applicable in this case, involves a written application for the purpose of payment.

According to paragraph 1, Art. 22 FZ No. 400 "About insurance pensions" civil payment appointed from the date of application for it provided that the right has arisen by that time.

In order not to miss the appointment of a second pension, documents can be submitted even earlier than the date of the appearance of the right to it, but no more than a month before the onset of sixty years.

The application for a second pension provision is strictly declarative in nature, that is, it must be made in the form of a written notification.

You can apply in several ways:

personally or through a representative by contacting the specialists of the MFC.

Moreover, in recent years, the popularity of new way submission of documents electronic. This can be done using such a system on the Internet as the Unified Portal of Public Services. This will require prior registration in the system, but in the future the ability to use the portal will save time and effort.

What documents are needed to apply for a second pension to a military pensioner

For a written application for the appointment of a second pension, a military pensioner will need to prepare. The general requirements for them practically do not differ from the rules for filing the necessary papers for an ordinary citizen.

To binding documents when assigning a second payment include the following:

passport (or other registration document);
insurance certificate (SNILS);
a document confirming the fact of the appointment of a military pension;
employment history;
certificates of the length of service not recorded in the work book before the date of registration in (from the employer, and in case of its liquidation from the archive);
certificate of salary for 60 consecutive months of work (if there were periods of work before 2002);
information on the presence of dependents (children under 18, and in the case of their full-time studies, this age is extended to 23 years).

In addition, due to certain circumstances, military pensioners may also need to additional documents, for example:

documents on the change of surname (or other personal data);
data on the presence of disability (extract from the conclusion of the expert commission indicating the validity period);
preferential-clarifying certificates evidencing special character performance of work, in the presence of preferential experience;
documents confirming the identity of the legal representative, if the application is submitted through him.

The procedure for receiving a second pension payment to military personnel upon reaching 60 years of age

Delivery the second accrued pension payment to military personnel is carried out according to general rules for the current month. A military pensioner chooses the method of receiving a pension independently when submitting a written application for appointment.

Among the following are:

Russian post (at the box office of the institution itself or at home);
bank (at the cash desk of one of the bank branches or making a payment to a bank card)
an organization that delivers a pension (a complete list of such institutions is kept by the specialists of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and is presented to a military pensioner when choosing this method; here you can also issue a payment at the organization’s cash desk or at home).

It should be remembered that once chosen way to get insurance coverage you can always change in case of inconvenience after the expiration of time. To do this, the serviceman will need to re-apply to the district office of the PFR at the location of his payment file and submit applications for changing the delivery method.

Against the backdrop of heated debate in society about the upcoming increase retirement age Russians there are more and more rumors about the upcoming reform for military pensioners. Several versions are being considered - from a serious increase in the retirement age to the replacement of a military pension with a one-time payment.
The pension reform for military personnel is being developed by the Research Financial Institute, subordinate to the Ministry of Finance.

For the security forces, changes are proposed that, without any exaggeration, can be called radical. Instead of paying superannuation pensions, those who are laid off may be offered… a lump sum social payment. The amount of this payment is unknown. Retirees are offered to appoint pensions, like other citizens, after reaching retirement age. According to experts, if the proposal is accepted, the military will practically lose their main benefits.

The military was offered to switch to self-sufficiency
The developers of the reform believe that the skills acquired in the service will help former servicemen quickly find a decent, well-paid job and switch to self-sufficiency. However, according to experts, the ability of the military to adapt to civilian life after service is clearly exaggerated. Not every officer continues to work after being transferred to the reserve. And the point is not only unwillingness - some of them cannot work for health reasons. According to the developers of the reform, the main goal is to make the social package for a serviceman more targeted, taking into account the possibility and desire of a retiree to start a civilian career, and also more fully taking into account the financial situation of his family. A good severance pay will be especially attractive to those who leave military service at a relatively young age and decides to make a career in civilian life. This does not take into account the risks that young and promising officers will quit at the first opportunity, which will lead to staff turnover in the troops.

Idea pension reform raises doubts also because it is proposed to compensate only a small part of the pension, while nothing else shines in return. By the way, we recall that the state even now encourages military pensioners not to sit idly by after dismissal. Those who continue to work after entering the reserve are entitled to a civil pension, which becomes additional to the military one. It is paid through the Pension Fund of Russia upon reaching the state-established retirement age and the minimum required length of service, which in 2017 was eight years and will increase by one year to 15 years by 2024. The budget savings from the reform of the military pension system could amount to 500-700 billion rubles a year. Therefore, many experts are confident that due to the difficult economic situation, changes in the calculation of military pensions may occur as early as 2018.

It should be noted that now a military pension is assigned to servicemen who, on the day of dismissal, have served in law enforcement agencies for 20 years or more. In addition, those dismissed upon reaching the age limit, for health reasons or in connection with organizational and staff measures and who have reached the age of 45 on the day of dismissal can count on it. To do this, you need to have a common seniority more than 25 years, of which at least 12 years and 6 months is service in law enforcement agencies. The average pension for military pensioners ranges from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles.

Today, it turns out that in the period of time from 45 years old, when military personnel mostly retire, to 60 years old, when they are entitled to a regular pension, the average soldier receives about 5 million rubles. It turns out that approximately the amount proposed by the draft reform should be lump sum, which is highly doubtful.

The government has been receiving proposals to reform the pension system for military personnel for several years. There were both hard and soft options, but they were abandoned. Probably, this time too there will be no special changes and cosmetic changes will be carried out. It is possible that the length of service for receiving a pension will be increased, most likely from 20 to 25 years. It should be noted that the fulfillment of obligations to military pensioners is indeed a serious financial burden for the state today. And here you can save a lot of money. To do this, it is necessary to clearly define who is a military pensioner and who is not. According to the Ministry of Defense, in 2015 there were about 900 thousand pensioners in the military department. At the same time, the number of military pensioners of all power structures is approaching somewhere around 10-12 million. So it is necessary to more clearly define in the law who is a military pensioner, and this will solve the problem with military pensions.

The abolition of military pensions will lead to a social explosion The current Russian scheme, when a military pension is awarded immediately upon dismissal from armed forces with a certain length of service, but without reference to the age of the soldier, is not common in other armies of the world. But the severance pay scheme does not apply there either. At the same time, according to preliminary calculations, after such a reform, budget savings could amount to 500-700 billion rubles a year. Therefore, many experts are confident that due to the difficult economic situation, changes in the calculation of military pensions may occur as early as 2018. Opinions on the methods of reforming the military pension system were diametrically divided. According to some, the retirement of the military in 2018 will be no different from previous years - the accrual procedure, as well as others important points will remain the same.

Indeed, the official position of the state on the issue of pension formation remains unchanged at the moment. It should be noted that lately, talks about changes in the pension sector remain just talks - no laws on this issue per last years was not accepted. There are also opinions that although the reform of the military pension is inevitable, it will definitely not take place simultaneously with the increase in the retirement age: this will create the prerequisites for a social explosion. Therefore, the decision on the issue of the retirement age for military pensioners may be postponed for several years, until the bulk of the population gets used to the new retirement age. At the same time, only future pensioners will fall under the reform, while those who already receive a pension will not be affected by the changes. Experts were skeptical about the latest proposals to reform the military pension, but admit that changes cannot be avoided. The military budget today is focused exclusively on the rearmament of the army, and the state is looking for how to find additional resources.

Money is easiest to take from military pensioners.
The process of cutting benefits can be slowed down only because other law enforcement agencies are also interested in maintaining military pensions. After all, the pension reform applies not only to military personnel, but also to law enforcement officers, bodies of the penitentiary system, security and foreign intelligence services, fire departments, as well as investigators, prosecutors, etc. These law enforcement agencies individually, and even more so in total, have considerable weight and they will certainly connect a powerful administrative resource to save pensions. However, it is most likely that it will not be possible to fully preserve the current conditions of their appointment. The complete abolition of pensions for the military is, of course, a very extreme option; a certain compromise will probably be found, as a result, a balanced decision will be made, which will be able to find understanding among the employees and leadership of all law enforcement agencies.

BY THE WAY The economy cannot be deceived; in practice, the situation of military pensioners is already deteriorating every year due to the freezing of indexation of pensions. This indicator is the most important condition for ensuring normal level people's lives. But due to the financial crisis, the authorities cannot offer serious raises to retired military men. Only at the beginning of 2018, the government decided that military pensions should be increased by 4%. However, a further increase will have to wait a long time. The next one is scheduled for October 2019. After that, retired employees will have to wait another year before the next promotion. Each of the planned revisions should increase the size of the military pension by 4%.

The military may be deprived of pensions

The budget crisis is pushing officials to cancel the so-called military pensions, which are received by employees of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the FSB and other law enforcement agencies. Following the reform of civil pensions, the logic of the crisis leads the economic bloc of the government to reduce the pensions of the security forces. The current military pensioners can sleep peacefully: there are no plans to cancel their pensions. But in the future, the current security forces may receive only a one-time severance pay instead of a lifetime pension - to adapt to work in civilian life. Such a decision is already being discussed in the structures of the Ministry of Finance.

The Research Financial Institute (NIFI), subordinate to the Ministry of Finance, is preparing a rationale for a new pension reform. Now security officials can become victims of optimization. This can be judged from the public speeches of the director of the NIFI Vladimir Nazarov. In his opinion, military pensions should be reviewed. And, apparently, quite radically. Nazarov spoke about some of the details last week on the air of Ekho Moskvy.

“Those who are going to go on a military pension should be offered a normal social contract instead of a pension,” the economist explained. - When a person finishes military service, if he is not disabled and everything is in order, you need to give him money for retraining, give him a large severance pay so that he has enough for a year or two of a comfortable life, and after that he, quite like a normal member of society, can work at another job.

No matter how strange the ideas discussed at the NIFI may seem, they are worth listening to. Indeed, as indicated on the website of the Ministry of Finance, among the tasks and functions of this institution are the development of the theory and methodology of financial management, forecasting, planning, drafting and executing the federal budget, preparing proposals and recommendations for improving budget legislation. In other words, the NIFI's developments in the form of a draft law can be put on the table of the head of the Ministry of Finance, Anton Siluanov. And he, with all the calculations and justifications in his hands, can then start lobbying for the next optimization.

If we understand by military pensions payments that are received not only by military personnel, but also by other security officials (law enforcement and penitentiary officials, security and foreign intelligence services, fire departments, etc.), as well as investigators and prosecutors, then after the reform, the budget savings can amount, according to rough estimates, from 500 to 700 billion rubles. in year. But there are also more modest expert estimates of savings - about 200 billion rubles. in year. As long as the reform has not acquired concrete outlines, it is impossible to make more accurate calculations.

However, even now it is not easy to get a military pension. She is appointed on the basis of years of service. The right to a military pension is received by persons who, on the day of dismissal, have served in law enforcement agencies for 20 years or more; as well as persons dismissed upon reaching the age limit, for health reasons or in connection with organizational and staff measures and who have reached the age of 45 on the day of dismissal, having a total length of service of 25 calendar years or more, of which at least 12 years and six months is service in law enforcement agencies.

Quite often security officials are fired before reaching the length of service required for a pension. There are cases when a citizen finds out about his non-compliance with pension requirements after his dismissal. Such underserved ones can only count on maintaining the payment of a salary for a military rank for one year. Or a disability pension.

It seems that the Ministry of Finance's reform of military pensions may abolish the very concept of "length of service." Most of the experts interviewed by NG were skeptical about the innovations of the scientific structures of the Ministry of Finance. In their opinion, the proposed reform looks provocative, moreover, it is almost unrealizable.

"This innovation will reduce the prestige military service. And this is such a new word in world practice that the military of all countries will look at the actions of the Russian government with some dismay,” said Vasily Zatsepin, head of the military economics laboratory at the Gaidar Institute. “The revision of the conditions most likely cannot be avoided, but the complete abolition of pensions for the military is already a completely extreme option. Our law enforcement agencies have considerable weight, and they will certainly do a lot to save pensions, ”said Nikita Isaev, director of the Institute of Actual Economics.

In most developed countries, military pensioners are one of the most protected sections of the population, the expert recalls. One of the incentives to join the military is the guarantee of a stable income for many years. According to Isaev, it is not enough just to give a serviceman money for retraining: “In order for the retraining system to function effectively, it must be built from scratch. And this is not possible without additional funding. In conditions of chronic budget deficit, it turns out vicious circle. There are obviously not enough vacancies for night watchmen for all the retirees.”

The proposed reform “will make people in uniform temporary workers who treat the state as another place of income,” fears Anton Sonichev, a lawyer for the Delovoy Farvater bureau. In his opinion, such changes will undermine the credibility of the state. “Resistance from law enforcement agencies will be very serious,” Sonichev expects.

“No one-time payment compares to regular income, especially with such lump-sum payments as now in Russia. This will lead to the infringement of social guarantees for military pensioners, since not everyone will be able to adapt to civilian life,” Roman Azatyan, legal adviser at My Family Lawyer, warns. “As practice shows, in Russia the opinion of the military departments is considered, and therefore they will be able to defend their positions,” he adds.

Many economists recall that the partial erosion of military pensions is already underway today. Military pensioners are still facing budget savings: when the authorities decide to freeze the indexation of their pensions, says Sergei Zvenigorodsky, an analyst at Solid Management. He emphasizes that the innovation of the theorists of the Ministry of Finance fully fits into the trend formed by the state: soon, almost all civil pensions can become “in the category of symbolic benefits, on which, given inflationary expectations, it will be problematic to live,” the expert says. It is not for nothing that the government offers the population to ensure a decent old age by forming pension savings.

Although some experts see a healthy grain in the position of the head of NIFI. “The very idea of retraining, regardless of pension payments, is sound, since there are many people in the army with skills that will be very useful in working in large corporations and small businesses,” says Pavel Sigal, First Vice President of Opora Rossii. A large severance pay would be attractive "for those who leave the military at a relatively young age and decide to pursue a civilian career," he said.

Finally, some experts do not exclude that the arguments about the abolition of military pensions have a very specific political meaning. Perhaps this is a kind of preparation for the elections, Dmitry Lukashov, an analyst at IFC Markets, suggests: “First, a threat is created to cancel pensions and benefits, and then this threat is eliminated with the approval of voters.”

“So far, I personally do not know about any legislative initiatives in this area,” Nazarov later explained to NG. According to him, the budget spends almost 1% of GDP on all pensions for the security forces. “But we are not talking about, and cannot talk about, the abolition of military pensions. Servicemen who already receive a military pension will continue to receive it. This is a matter of social stability and justice. We can only talk about a gradual modification of the rules for the retirement of current servicemen: an increase in seniority requirements and the use of combined age-service experience scales, when a greater length of service will allow you to retire earlier, taking into account the professional specialization and rank of a serviceman,” says the head of the NIFI. “At the same time, there may be gaps between the period of transfer to the reserve and the appointment of a military pension. These are the gaps and it is advisable to fill in severance pay and retraining programs with subsequent employment in a civilian specialty, Nazarov explains. - If the decision to change the conditions for assigning military pensions is balanced, then the attractiveness of military service will not decrease. Understanding that you serve the Motherland, high wages, as well as a guarantee that at a difficult moment society will come to the aid of the soldier himself and his family members, is much more important than “smearing porridge on a plate”, when all the military receive a pension, regardless of their age and income "in civilian life".

“I hope that a balanced solution can find understanding among the employees and leadership of all law enforcement agencies. The military are people, first of all, who care about the welfare of their country. Now this benefit is to make the serviceman's social package more targeted, taking into account the possibility and desire of the serviceman to start a civilian career, as well as more fully taking into account the financial situation of the servicemen and their families,” concludes Nazarov.

“In its pure form, the severance pay scheme is not used in most countries. However, the current Russian scheme is also not very common, when the appointment of a military pension occurs immediately upon dismissal from the armed forces with a certain length of service without any reference to the age of the serviceman, his ability to work in a civilian specialty and financial situation, ”Nazarov clarifies.

The pension is accrued to military personnel and civilians upon reaching a certain age. Its size depends on the length of service, the amount of accruals, position. But there is a mixed military pension and civil pension, which has features of accrual.

The entire amount of accruals for the military, which includes military and seniority, is called a mixed type pension. This option social benefits is paid to military personnel when they reach the age of leaving the service - military experience of less than 20 years.

Pension, like any other income, can have a different amount. Some citizens are entitled to additional allowances for length of service, for specific merits. This income is regularly indexed, which increases its size to the required level.

Who is considered a soldier?

According to the law, military personnel include citizens who serve and work in parts of the Armed Forces, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and the FSB. This list includes employees of foreign intelligence, bodies of the penitentiary system and other paramilitary units of the country. The term "serviceman" is deciphered in Federal Law No. 76.

The pension is not based on age. Experience must be 20 years. His calculation has a special order. When participating in hostilities, 1 year is equal to 3. Three years in special conditions are calculated as 4. The reason for early retirement may be an injury due to which health has deteriorated. In the event of the death or death of a military man, his widow receives the right to a pension. Military personnel and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have the right to retire at the age of 45. Mixed length of service may be taken into account to establish pension coverage.

Payout difference

Military pension and civilian pension are different. Payments for military personnel are determined by the amount of salary and length of service. The differences will be as follows:

Military personnel have at least 20 years of experience, while civilians must have at least 15 years of experience.
When determining payments to military personnel, pension coefficients are not taken into account.
Compared to civilians, military personnel can apply for payments even at the age of 40 if they have at least 20 years of service.

Power of attorney

Different payment delivery options allow you to choose the most convenient way. But there are times when, due to life circumstances, it is not possible to withdraw funds on your own. Then another person can do it by proxy. This is a notarized document provided by a pensioner to another person. The power of attorney is issued for a fee at the notary. But a free option is also possible, and then the document will be similar to a normally certified one.

Since 2013, the power of attorney has been certified free of charge by the organization where the pensioner studies or works. This is also carried out in the institution where the treatment takes place. If the document does not indicate the validity period, this means that it is valid for 1 year (Article 186 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The Trustee can receive a pension during this period. If a period of more than a year is specified, then the payment occurs throughout the entire period of validity of the power of attorney.

Change of residence

When you change your place of residence, payment will be made at the new place. Then the pensioner should notify the FIU about this with the help of an application. Documentation will be transferred to another territorial office.

It is also necessary to fulfill a request for a payment case due to a move when receiving funds through a card. This is due to the fact that it contains all the necessary information that will be useful to the FIU at a new place of residence, for example, for recalculation purposes. With a timely notification, the pension will be credited to the account on time.

Military personnel who have served a certain number of years in the army, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, and some other similar institutions are entitled to receive a pension for seniority or disability. If, after the end of their service, they worked in civilian positions, then under certain conditions they can also apply for an old-age pension assigned by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

Conditions for obtaining a “civilian” pension by military personnel

In order to qualify for an old-age pension, former military personnel must simultaneously meet a number of conditions:

there must be registration of a citizen in the system of compulsory pension insurance of the Russian Federation (received by SNILS),
Retirement age must be reached - 65 years for men, 60 years for women. If citizens belong to those categories of insured persons for whom an earlier retirement due to old age is provided, then the pension is assigned upon reaching this age. For example, if labor activity was carried out in the conditions of the Far North.
must have earned an insurance period sufficient for the appointment of an old-age pension. In 2020, it is equal to 11 years.
a certain number of Individual Retirement Points must be earned. In 2019 - 18.6 points.
a military disability pension or for years of service in the relevant authorities should be assigned.

Documents required for the appointment of a pension

For the appointment of a regular old-age pension, former military personnel must submit to the pension fund:

application of the established form;
the passport;
insurance certificate (SNILS);
a certificate from the authority that assigned the military pension to the citizen. Such a certificate should contain data on the date of assignment of a military pension, periods of service on the basis of which a military pension or disability pension was assigned;
documents confirming the insurance ("civilian") seniority of the pensioner. This may be a work book, an employment contract, other documents confirming the fact of employment.

If a military pensioner worked in a civilian institution before 2002, then they may be presented with documents confirming the availability and amount of earnings for any five consecutive years until January 1, 2002.

Features of the calculation of "civilian" pensions for military personnel

There is only one peculiarity - the old-age pension accrued to military pensioners consists only of insurance and funded parts. The funded part will be if such a pensioner has pension savings. A fixed payment (fixed basic amount) to military pensioners is not accrued and is not paid.

The assigned old-age pension for military pensioners is subject to indexation in the general manner.

If such a pensioner, after the appointment of an old-age pension, continues to work in civil organizations, then annual indexation is not carried out, but annually, as of August 1, a recalculation is made.

After the end of employment, the amount of the insurance pension will be recalculated taking into account the missed indexation.

Funded part of the pension

A former military man, like other insured persons, may have a funded part of the pension. Savings can be formed in the following cases:

they are persons born in 1967 and younger, to whom civilian employers calculated and transferred insurance premiums for funded part pensions in the FIU;
if they received maternity (family) capital and transferred its funds to form a future pension;
if they are participants in the state pension co-financing program;
if they are men born in 1953-1966 or women born in 1957-1966, for whom, from 2002 to 2004, civil employers accrued and paid insurance premiums for the funded part of the pension to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

Like other old-age pensioners, a military pensioner, if he has pension savings can apply to the FIU with an application for appointment and pay a funded pension (payment).

It can be a lump sum payment, urgent payment, payment of the funded part of the pension.

Answers to common questions

Question #1: The military pensioner after the end of military service did not work in civilian institutions for hire, but registered and conducted activities as an individual entrepreneur. Can such a citizen receive an old-age pension upon reaching retirement age?

Answer: Yes, if such an individual entrepreneur paid insurance premiums for compulsory pension insurance, he is also entitled to insurance pension by old age. At the same time, the mandatory conditions for the presence of an application for a pension established on the date must be met. insurance experience and the number of accumulated pension points.

Question #2: Does the “civilian” pension for military personnel include periods of work before military service?

Answer: In accordance with the Federal Law "On Insurance Pensions" No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, the length of service does not include the time of service preceding the appointment of a disability pension, or the time of service, work or other activities taken into account when determining the amount of the service pension years in accordance with the Law on military pensions dated February 12, 1993 N 4468-1. Thus, if the periods before military service are not taken into account when calculating the military pension, then these periods can be taken into account when calculating the “civilian” pension.

Questionos #3: If in 2019 the retirement age was reached by the former military, but there is not enough insurance experience (9 years) to accrue a “civilian” pension to a military man, is it possible to apply for its accrual in a year? Or will the required insurance experience be different in a year?

Answer: The insurance period in 2019 will be different, but if the right to an old-age pension arose in 2019, for example, a man turned 60 years old, then in order to calculate an old-age pension for such a person, the insurance period that was valid in the year the right to pension arose , i.e. 9 years. If in 2019 the insurance period is 9 years and all other conditions for receiving an old-age pension are met, you can apply for a pension from the FIU.

It was suspended by the Federal Law of December 1, 2014 (397-FZ) and adopted in the context of an undeclared war by the United States and NATO against Russia, falling oil prices and budget revenues. In a crisis, when it comes to preserving the country's economy, implementing important social programs, re-equipping the army and navy, the need to develop new territories of the country and support the population of Novorossia - all this is understandable and justified. That is why people in uniform, as well as military pensioners, I repeat, reacted to this decision with understanding. After all, even in these difficult conditions, the state found opportunities to continue solving housing issues for military personnel, building service and permanent housing, paying housing subsidies, etc.

How to refuse a military pension and switch to a civilian one

If the performance of military service is contrary to the beliefs or religion of a citizen, he has the right to replace it with an alternative civilian service. Replacing military service with alternative civilian service is also allowed in other cases established by law.

3 art. 59 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation). - military service is contrary to his beliefs or religion (beliefs can be any - peacekeeping, philosophical, moral, ethical, political, legal, or have complementary content); - a citizen belongs to an indigenous small people, leads a traditional way of life, traditional management and is engaged in traditional crafts (Article 2 of the Law of July 25, 2002 N 113-FZ)

Second pension for military personnel

In order for the employer's insurance contributions while working in civilian institutions to be taken into account when assigning a second pension, a military pensioner must be registered in the compulsory pension insurance system. Information about civil service, accrued and paid insurance premiums, wages, as well as periods of work in civil organizations are reflected in an individual personal account with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and will determine the right to an insurance pension and possible payment from pension savings.
