Seniority pension for teachers: who and when can apply, what documents are needed for registration, etc.
In the Russian Federation, representatives of many labor specialties are entitled to seniority. The list of such includes the teacher. Despite the seemingly general simplicity of applying for a pension, representatives of some professions have questions about this procedure.
In today's material, we will cover in as much detail as possible the process of obtaining a pension for teachers by length of service, clarifying all the subtleties and nuances.
Seniority pension for teachers is a well-deserved privilege
The teacher is an important social profession, therefore the Russian government defines a number of privileges for its representatives. In particular, many teachers working in Russia are entitled to a superannuation pension.
This means that a teacher, having worked a certain one, can retire without reaching old age (for women - 55 years, for men - 60). According to the current legislation, in order to retire on a seniority basis, a teacher must work in his specialization for at least 25 years.
In fact, this requirement is the main one, and if it exists, the vast majority of teachers can safely go on a well-deserved rest, while the age of a person does not play any role.
However, it is important to note that not all working citizens in the field of education are eligible for early retirement.
In accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation under the number 781, the number of positions working in the pedagogical field and entitled to early rest includes:
- directors;
- head teachers;
- deputy directors;
- teachers;
- teachers (not all);
- teachers and methodologists;
- masters of a particular specialty who teach it;
- organizers;
- speech therapists;
- educators;
- trainers;
- a number of other educators.
We agree that the list presented above is not final, therefore, in order to accurately determine it, we strongly recommend that you refer to the previously mentioned resolution. This legislative act contains all the necessary information on the topic under consideration today.
The legislation regulates that for some specialties from the field of pedagogy, when determining the possibility of an early retirement, it is necessary to take into account how much the load on teaching hours was carried out during working hours. If the indicators do not meet the established standards, it will not be possible to retire according to the length of service.
Also of no small importance is the dimension of the individual pension coefficient, since its “shortage” to the established norm makes it impossible for the pension to be released ahead of schedule. In 2017, this indicator should be at least 11.4. We strongly recommend that before deciding to issue an early vacation, familiarize yourself with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation under number 781, which fully regulates this issue.
How to apply for a teacher's retirement pension
The procedure for issuing a pedagogical seniority pension is no different from the general procedure for issuing legal rest. In general, the procedure for exiting early rest is as follows:
- Firstly, a citizen must determine exactly whether he can exercise the right to receive a superannuation pension or not. If the results of the determination are positive, then the next step is carried out.
- Next, you need to visit the body of the Pension Fund at the place of registration and submit a corresponding application to its employees. In addition to this paper, you will also need:
- certificate of personal income tax-2 for the last year;
- if available - children and a military ID.
It is important to take both the original of these documents and their copies to the state agency. Having handed over all the papers to the Pension Fund, you should definitely take the appropriate receipt from the employees of the authority. After completing the steps described above, it remains only to wait for the consideration of all documents and the official registration of the pension, of course, if you meet the conditions for receiving it.
You can apply to the Pension Fund a month before the onset of 25 years of work experience, so that with its onset, you can officially be on vacation. Note that this includes:
- the number of full working days (in order to receive a superannuation pension, employees of the pedagogical sphere must
- work every year for at least 240 hours, and for some specialties - 360);
- sick and vacation periods;
- training time for specialized education and advanced training courses.
If the calculations, taking into account the above indicators, confirm that the teacher has the required status, then he has every right to go on vacation earlier than the due date, that is, according to the length of service.
About the appointment of pension payments
Being a teacher is not easy!
After the Pension Fund checks the submitted documentation, it can:
- or secure for the applicant the right to a well-deserved rest and a pension;
- or request an additional pension from the applicant in order to verify certain circumstances that will help determine the person’s ability to retire early;
- or refuse to retire based on length of service with a mandatory justification of the reason.
In the event that a citizen does not agree with the decision of the Pension Fund, he has the right to appeal against it in court. It should be noted that most often teachers are denied early retirement due to the discrepancy between their individual pension coefficient and the norm.
The latter, by the way, is established by law every year. You can find out about the norm of this coefficient for today by contacting the Pension Fund at the place of registration or by visiting the official website of the state agency. It is important to understand that the calculation of all pension indicators is quite complicated, therefore it is carried out exclusively by the employees of the Pension Fund and using a special calculator, which is also available on the official website of the state agency.
Directly, the size of pension payments is determined for each citizen of the Russian Federation on an individual basis. When calculating the size of the pension, the ratios of the funded and insurance pensions, the coefficients in force at the place of the pensioner, and other indicators are taken into account. The calculation procedure is discussed in more detail on the official website of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, so for its implementation it is necessary to visit this particular resource.
It would not be superfluous to note that the average size of early retirement for teachers in the Russian Federation is about 6-9,000 rubles. At the same time, the legislator allows employees of the pedagogical sphere to continue working after retirement. Thus, it turns out that - a very good allowance for any teacher, which is definitely not worth giving up.
