Service retirement rules for military personnel
Servicemen citizens of our country are constantly raising the issue of the procedure for retirement based on years of service.
This is due to the fact that few of them understand what and how to do. What documents need to be provided? What is the allowance? How to apply for seniority?
Let's consider in more detail all these nuances.
Legislative regulation of the issue
All questions regarding military pensions citizens of our country are governed by such legislation as:
Conditions and procedure for retirement
Citizens who serve in the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation or are somehow involved in it are entitled to accrue pension payments based on years of service. This right is enshrined in Federal Law No. 4468-1.
For the calculation of pension payments to a soldier must serve in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation a certain period of time.
Pension payments are assigned in accordance with what position during the service was occupied by a soldier:
- must be at least 20 years old before dismissal. At the same time, attention should be paid to the fact that the age of the former serviceman must be at least 45 years;
- also, a serviceman may be dismissed from the place of service according to the wording “reaching a term that allows him to be in the service”;
- when carrying out various regular activities (we are talking about possible checks for compliance with the position held), which led to the dismissal.
It should be noted that military personnel general work experience:
- not less than 25 years with a total work experience;
- at least 12.5 years of direct experience in the ranks of the RF Armed Forces.
Seniority pension payments are due to citizens who have served in the military contracted and held such positions as: soldier, sailor, sergeant, foreman, as well as persons who:
- served in any military units (railway, internal, and so on);
- were in the united combat or administrative and economic units of the Armed Forces of the CIS countries;
- belong to the category of “border guards” or served in units whose task was to protect the integrity of the borders of the state;
- were servicemen of the communications and information units.
Registration procedure
Citizens of the military who apply for a seniority pension must, without fail, collect the main list of documents and become registered with the military commissariat at the place of their territorial location.
According to the current legislation, the main list of documents considered to be:
The list of documents presented above is mandatory. But that is not all. In some cases, some equally important papers should be provided.
It could be:
- certificate from the pension fund;
- or a document that confirms the fact of the change of surname.
It is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that if you wish, you can also apply for a pension for seniority at the Pension Fund at your place of residence. But there is a small nuance here: you must additionally provide a certificate of average wages for the last 5 years.
Rules for calculating payments
Members of the armed forces are eligible for pensions. in the amount of 50% from his . When excess work experience at age 20, 3% will be charged for each additional year.
Maximum Threshold allowance is 85%.
Calculation of pensions for military personnel with general work experience next:
- in the presence of 25 years of experience - the amount does not exceed 50% of the salary;
- in the presence of more than 25 years - for each year there is a surcharge of 1%.
At the same time, the pension itself can be calculated if the military experience is at least 12.5 years.
It is also necessary to take into account the fact that at the legislative level it is established minimum pension threshold, which is 100% of the base part directly, which is assigned to every citizen of our country upon retirement.
Calculation example
Suppose that a soldier with the rank of lieutenant colonel is about to retire on a seniority basis. Throughout his service, he served as deputy commander of the regiment.
The total experience is about 37 years. In the process of determining length of service, studies at a military school were also taken into account.
To determine the amount of the pension payment, we will calculate:
50% + (36 — 20) = 98%
- 50% - base salary;
- 36 years - total experience;
- 20 years is the required minimum period of service;
- 3% - surcharge for each year after 20 years.
The identified 98% allowances cannot be applied, since there is a limit of 85% - they will be used in the calculation.
Let's determine the amount of his monetary allowance:
(7800 + 8500) * 70% = 30,155 rubles
Wherein:
- 7800 - the size of the salary itself;
- 8500 rubles - the amount of salary for the performance of the duties of a deputy;
- 70% - the allowance established for him for the position he is hired (this allowance for each serviceman can be established individually).
Based on the amount of salary received, we calculate the pension provision:
30,155 * 85% = 25,600 rubles
This is the amount a soldier is entitled to count on.
Problems in the appointment of pensions
The main problem with the appointment of pensions based on years of service is that payments are suspended if the applicant:
- begins work on filling positions in self-government bodies;
- holds any position in a municipal body on a permanent basis;
- carries out its labor activity in the intergovernmental body.
In the event that a former serviceman is relieved of his post, the assigned seniority payment is renewed in full.
Frankly, there are no significant problems in this matter, and everyone, if they have the necessary length of service, has the right to receive pension payments based on years of service.
