How to apply for a pension in the DPR

Pensions in the Donetsk People's Republic are issued on a strictly application basis . In other words, to assign payments, you must contact the relevant government agency, providing a certain set of documents.

Documentation

To assign a pension to a citizen of the DPR, it is necessary to prepare the following package of papers, including:

• passport;
• certificate containing the taxpayer code;
• a certificate confirming registration on the territory of the DPR;
• marriage and birth certificates;

A citizen must submit documents and apply for a pension at the pension fund office at his place of residence.

Terms of consideration

If there is a complete package of documents and there is no need to provide additional papers, the corresponding application is considered by officials of the DPR Pension Fund within 10 days. However, this period can be increased to 1 month if there are compelling and legal reasons.

What is the procedure for paying pensions in the Donetsk People's Republic?

By Decree of the Head of the Republic dated April 24, 2015. No. 158 (as amended on July 8, 2015 No. 278) approved the Procedure for payment and delivery of pensions.

I would like to dwell on the main points. Payment of pensions in the Republic is made by organizations that pay and deliver pensions (Central Republican Bank and State Enterprise “Donbass Post”) from the 4th to the 25th of the month for which the pension is paid.

If the established pension is not received for two consecutive months, the payment of the pension is suspended.

Subsequent renewal of payments is made from the month following the month of the pensioner’s personal application to the Pension Fund with an application for renewal of the pension.

The next increase: to whom and by how much

According to the decision of the “government of the DPR”, salaries of public sector employees will increase by 25% from July 1. As for employees of other firms and enterprises, this is at the discretion of the employer. The only condition: the salary must not be lower than the minimum wage, which from April 1 is 7,460 rubles (2,815 UAH) . In Ukraine, the minimum wage is 6,000 hryvnia .

Pensions in the DPR will increase by 17%. The minimum will now be 955 rubles more - 6571 rubles (2500 UAH) . In Ukraine, from July 1, it will also increase - by 85 UAH - and amount to 1854 hryvnia .

In addition, the “republic” will increase the size of 11 types of social benefits by 5-35%. For example, assistance in connection with pregnancy and childbirth will now be 5,940 rubles (2,250 UAH), for children under three years old - 5,400 (2,000 UAH). The amount of state assistance for children in the event of loss of a breadwinner will increase by 20% and will amount to 6,912 rubles (2,600 UAH).

“Officials” reported that since 2015, pensions in the “republic” have been increased for the eighth time, and social benefits for the seventh.

Let us note that the Ukrainian authorities stopped paying pensions and social benefits to residents of territories not controlled by Kyiv in the fall of 2014. To register and receive them, people are forced to travel to Ukrainian-controlled territory. Taking into account the checkpoints on the demarcation line that have been closed since last spring, this process has become much more complicated today. Such services are not yet available online. The Ministry of Social Policy reported that for pensions alone, Kyiv’s debt to residents of the uncontrolled Donbass amounts to 900 billion hryvnia.

Is it possible to receive a pension by proxy?

Yes, it is possible to receive a pension by proxy. Please note that the validity period of such a power of attorney is 1 month. A power of attorney to receive a pension is issued in the following cases:

• stay of a pensioner for inpatient treatment in medical institutions of the Donetsk People's Republic, Lugansk People's Republic, Russian Federation (contact the head physician of the medical institution);
• being treated in a hospital or other military medical institution (contact the head of the military medical institution);
• stay at the points of deployment of military units (contact the commander of the military unit);
• stay in a pre-trial detention center (contact the head of the pre-trial detention center).

Penalty for double pension payments

At the same time, the new law will apply only to citizens who enter into labor rights after 01/01/2015; for those who formed them before the deadline, the norms will remain the same. Consequently, from 2002 to 2021, only the insurance period and insurance contributions of the pensioner are taken into account.

Therefore, to calculate the amount of the labor pension in 2021, only the pensioner’s work activity before 2002 is used.

According to the employment center, from January to August 2021, the average salary for the proposed vacancies was only 6,090 rubles per month (2,671 UAH).

Compared to the average salary among the local population for the previous year (January-August 2021 - 4841 rubles), the level of payment increased by only 1249 rubles per month (547 UAH). In the database of the Republican Employment Center you can find information about available vacancies and salary levels for coal industry specialists in different cities.

In Torez, miners in underground work are willing to pay from 7,800 to 13,500 rubles (3,421-5,921 UAH). The work of miners at Torez coal enterprises is most highly valued.

When calculating the pension, all insurance contributions made from 07/01/2000 until the payment is calculated are taken into account.

Retirement before the established age (if there is appropriate length of service) is provided for the following categories of citizens:

• Women with 5 or more children.
• Workers engaged in underground and above-ground mining and metallurgy.
• Citizens who have become disabled.
• Workers in medical professions associated with hazardous working conditions.

Working pensioners receive payments in full.

The insurance period of a person who is subject to compulsory state pension insurance, starting from 01/01/2004, is taken into account subject to the payment of insurance premiums according to the data contained in the personalized accounting system (Article 24 of Law No. 1058).

Since the bodies of the DPR Pension Fund do not have access to a unified database of insured persons in Ukraine, which does not make it possible to take into account all the available individual information of citizens of the Republic on length of service and wages necessary for calculating pensions, the Council of Ministers of the DPR adopted a resolution “On some issues of assignment (recalculation) ) pensions in the Donetsk People's Republic during the transition period" dated 10.01.

The minimum pension was 971 UAH.

and was paid in the specified currency. Since July 2015, the DPR authorities decided to switch to the Russian ruble as the main currency in the country.

No. 158 (as amended on 07/08/2015

No. 278) approved the Procedure for payment and delivery of pensions.

I would like to dwell on the main points. Payment of pensions in the Republic is made by organizations that pay and deliver pensions (Central Republican Bank and State Enterprise “Donbass Post”) from the 4th to the 25th of the month for which the pension is paid.

If the established pension is not received for two consecutive months, the payment of the pension is suspended. Subsequent renewal of payments is made from the month following the month of the pensioner’s personal application to the Pension Fund with an application for renewal of the pension. Yes, it is possible to receive a pension by proxy.

Please note that the validity period of such a power of attorney is 1 month. A power of attorney to receive a pension is issued in the following cases: a pensioner is undergoing inpatient treatment in medical institutions of the Donetsk People's Republic, Lugansk People's Republic, the Russian Federation (contact the head physician of the medical institution);

If you are a man from the DPR, then you are entitled to a pension only after reaching 60 years of age under the following conditions: When calculating the pension, all insurance contributions made from 07/01/2000 until the moment payments are calculated are taken into account.

Based on this, we propose transfers from salaries that go to the pension fund to be deposited in the bank at 20 percent per annum. We will leave 12% for those who do not work and for the bank itself for promotion.

Info That is, the first month will be 33 RUB, the second 66 RUB, the third 100.69 RUB, and so by the end of the year we will receive 28,800 RUB in our bank account, out of the allotted 24,000 thousand RUB. Over 15 years of savings in the account there will be at least 420,000 thousand RUB, and for the 16th year of pre-retirement service we will receive 84 thousand RUB per annum in interest.

Info

Ks = (Sm * Sun) / (100% * 12), where: Ks – insurance period coefficient; cm – the sum of months of insurance experience; Sun – the value of the assessment of 1 year of insurance experience, which for the period of participation in the solidarity system (before 2008 is equal to 1%, since 2008 is equal to 1.35%). Then you need to calculate the amount of wages, which is taken into account when calculating the pension. Let us remind you that to calculate the pension, wages (income) for the entire period of insurance coverage starting from July 1, 2000 are taken into account.

At the request of the pensioner and subject to confirmation of the salary certificate with primary documents in the period before January 1, 2016 or if the insurance period starting from July 1, 2000 is less than 60 months, to calculate the pension, wages (income) for any 60 calendar years are also taken into account consecutive months of insurance experience until July 1, 2000, regardless of breaks.

Issues of social security in the Republic are a priority, therefore work is currently ongoing to develop and approve at the legislative level regulatory documents governing the conditions of pension provision and social protection of citizens of the Donetsk People's Republic.

Until the adoption of the relevant legislation on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic, the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On Compulsory State Pension Insurance” dated 07/09/2003 No. 1058-IV are applied.

During 2014-2021, the Republic has been applying pension legislation that was in force before the Constitution of the Donetsk People's Republic came into force, while the Government of Ukraine has adopted a number of legislative acts tightening the conditions for assigning pensions, both on general and preferential terms.

So, in particular, women on the territory of the Republic have the right to a pension upon reaching 55 years of age, regardless of the fact of work, if they have at least 15 years of experience, which is provided for by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Donetsk People's Republic of January 10, 2015 No. 1-12 “On some issues of appointment (recalculation) of pensions in the Donetsk People's Republic during the transition period."

On the territory of Ukraine, a gradual increase in the retirement age for women is provided in accordance with Art. 26 of the Law of Ukraine “On Compulsory State Pension Insurance” dated 07/09/2003 No. 1058-IV from 55 to 60 years old with a date of birth before 12/31/1961. In addition, from 01/01/2018, the right to an old-age pension for women is provided upon reaching 60 years of age and with a gradual increase in the insurance period (instead of 15 years) from 25 years to 35 years - in 2028.

In the absence of the required insurance period, Ukraine provides for an increase in the retirement age to 63 and 65 years with a gradual increase in the duration of the required insurance period.

- according to List No. 1 - men - at 50 years old with a total experience of 20 years,

according to List No. 1 - 10 years,

women - at 45 years old with a total experience of 15 years,

according to List No. 1 - 7 years 6 months;

- according to List No. 2 - men - at 55 years old with a total experience of 25 years,

according to List No. 2 - 12 years 6 months,

women - at 50 years old with a total experience of 20 years,

according to List No. 2 - 10 years.

Also, for citizens of the Republic, the conditions for assigning a long-service pension in accordance with Art. 54.55 of the Law of Ukraine “On Pension Security” dated November 5, 1991 No. 1788-XII

While in Ukraine the retirement age for women according to List No. 1 has been increased to 50 years, according to List No. 2 - to 55 years. At the same time, the required general (insurance) length of service has been increased (by 5 years) for both women and men.

When assigning a pension for long service in Ukraine, the retirement age is set (from 50 to 55 years) and the required insurance period is increased (25 years for women and 30 years for men).

Starting from 01/01/2018, only those persons who have reached the established retirement age and, before 01/01/2018, acquired the special and insurance experience necessary to assign a pension will have the right to a long-service pension.

Also, the draft Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Some Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding the Increase of Pensions” revised the norms of Article 24 and Article 25 of the Law of Ukraine “On Compulsory State Pension Insurance” dated November 5, 1991 No. 1788-XII in terms of calculating the insurance period: canceled additional credit for one year for each year of work on List No. 1; the assessment of one year of insurance experience instead of 1.35% will be equal to 1%.

At the same time, the government of the Donetsk People's Republic is pursuing a policy aimed at maintaining guarantees of stability in the field of pension provision and creating equal conditions when assigning pensions to citizens of the Republic.

Despite the fact that during 2021 food prices in the Donetsk People's Republic rose to the national level, the question of increasing pension payments for residents of the republic still remains open. Although the head of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko, announced plans to increase the size of the pension, no one has yet given specific figures.

As you know, after Ukraine declared a financial and economic blockade on Donbass in the fall of 2014, the republic had to independently take on the implementation of social charges and payments to the population.

The procedure for processing the payment of lost pension in the event of the death of a pensioner

As soon as the indicator is determined, recalculation is activated and the amount of social payment is determined. Pension formula Please note that any 60 months of employment can be taken from the date of official employment until 2002. In this case, it does not matter whether there was official work during the Soviet Union or whether it exists today in the Russian Federation.

In the same way, the coefficient is calculated in order to calculate the amount of the pension payment. It is possible that another pension reform will take place this year. She can make her own adjustments to processes already taking place.

This is due to the economic situation in the country and the increase in life expectancy in the world. Below we will analyze the latest news and dwell on what changes await potential Russian pensioners after the adoption of new regulations.

Do the new changes provide for the payment of lost pensions for deceased pensioners?

Yes, it is provided. The amount of pension due to persons who died during the period starting from 06/01/2016, included in the payment document and not received by the pensioner in the month of his death (hereinafter referred to as the lost pension), is paid:

• disabled family members who were supported by him, regardless of the fact of cohabitation with the deceased pensioner at the time of his death;

How much experience is needed for a pension in the DPR

To assign a disability pension, at least a minimum insurance period is required on the date of disability or at the time of applying for a pension, the duration of which depends on the disability group:

Persons recognized as disabled have the right to a disability pension, depending on the disability group, if they have such insurance experience at the time of the onset of disability or on the day of applying for a pension:

If disability occurs during compulsory military service, then a disability pension is assigned to the person regardless of the length of insurance coverage.

A disability pension is assigned from the date of establishment of disability, if the application for a pension took place no later than three months from the date of establishment of disability.

What will the pension be if there is no work experience?

What kind of pension will there be? If there is no work experience, this question worries many. In the absence of length of service, you are not entitled to an insurance pension (depending on length of service).

But it is possible to receive a social pension, subject to a special law of the Russian Federation. Let's consider the procedure for its application in our article.

The majority of the population of the Russian Federation works, works in one form or another. If a person is able to confirm his work experience (at least 7 years to receive a pension from 2021) and the fact of paying contributions to the Pension Fund from income during this period, he can qualify for payment of an old-age insurance pension.

A number of periods can be taken into account with an increased duration (clauses 6 and 7 of Article 13 of Law No. 400-FZ), and if necessary, length of service earned before the entry into force of Law No. 400-FZ can be taken into account according to the rules in force during the relevant work period (clause 58 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated October 2, 2014 No. 1015)
