06/30/2021 When will there be indexation and increase in pensions for working, non-working and military pensioners again in July, August or only in October 2021? Firstly, as the Argumenty i Fakty newspaper reports, from August 1, 2021, the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR) will begin recalculating pensions for working pensioners. Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Social Policy Elena Bibikova recalled this . We are talking about the annual adjustment of pensions for working pensioners - from 2021, their pension payments will not be indexed. This recalculation is made for working recipients of old-age and disability insurance pensions, for whom their employers paid insurance contributions to the Pension Fund in the previous year. “We will recalculate for those who worked during 2020 - a month, two or all 12 months, provided that during this period of work insurance contributions to the Pension Fund were paid,” Bibikova clarified, who will receive an increase in August 2021. The amount of the pension increase for working pensioners is calculated individually. It depends on the amount of insurance contributions paid to the Pension Fund and accrued pension points, which in turn is determined by the size of the citizen’s salary. However, the size of the August increase is limited to the value of three pension points. In 2021, one point costs 98.86 rubles, which means three points is 296.58 rubles. But it is worth keeping in mind that when adjusting the pension, the value of the pension point established at the time of the citizen’s retirement is used. For example, if a person retired in 2015, his increase in August 2021 will be calculated based on the price of the point for that year - 71.41 rubles. Thus, his pension amount will increase by a maximum of 214.23 rubles. It turns out that the size of the increase also depends on the date of retirement of the working pensioner: the sooner he does this, the smaller the increase will be. Annual adjustments to the pensions of working pensioners are carried out without application. Citizens do not need to go to the Pension Fund and write any statements or send them online. The Pension Fund recalculates the payment amount automatically.
Secondly, in 2021 the transition period continues to raise the age, which gives the right to an old-age pension. Although it has risen another year since January, the total increase has already been three years. Thus, pensions this year are assigned one and a half years earlier than the new retirement age: 56.5 years for women and 61.5 years for men. This provides a special benefit. It applies to everyone who should have become a pensioner last year under the terms of the previous legislation. That is, women born in 1965 and men born in 1960 will receive pensions in the second half of 2021 and the first half of 2022. “For those who reach the previous retirement age this year, an old-age pension, according to the transition period, will be assigned in 2024,” the Russian Pension Fund reported. However, for the majority of Russians, retirement remains within the same age limits. Benefits apply to miners, miners, rescuers, public transport drivers and other workers engaged in difficult, dangerous and harmful working conditions. “Early retirement is also preserved for teachers, doctors and representatives of some creative professions, for whom payments are assigned not upon reaching retirement age, but after acquiring the necessary length of service,” said the Russian Pension Fund. — In this case, the pension is issued taking into account the transition period for raising the retirement age, which begins to operate from the moment of acquiring length of service in the profession. For example, a teacher who has completed the required teaching experience in April 2021 will be able to retire in accordance with the transition period after three years, in April 2024. To receive a pension, minimum pension coefficients and length of service must be developed. Until the end of this year they amount to 12 years and 21 coefficients, the portal yarcube.ru clarifies.
Thirdly, when can we expect the indexation and increase of military pensions in 2021 and has this already been approved by the Russian Government? According to the Parliamentary Gazette, the Russian Ministry of Defense proposes to increase the salaries of military personnel and employees of some federal authorities by 4.9 percent from October 1, 2021, and as RIA Novosti recalls, the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation at the next plenary meeting adopted a law on the extension until 2022, a “freeze” of the annual increase in the amount of monetary allowance taken into account when calculating pensions by 2%, on the basis of which pensions for military pensioners are calculated. Until October 1, 2021, military pensions will be accrued in the same amount. The head of the Defense Committee of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Shamanov, made a proposal to postpone the indexation period to an earlier date so that inflation does not outpace the growth of payments. However, this proposal was not officially submitted to the lower house of parliament. ABOUT THE CONDITIONS FOR RECEIVING MILITARY PENSIONS AND HOW TO CALCULATE THEIR SIZE IN 2021 - READ BELOW.
Second pension for a military pensioner
An old-age insurance pension can become a second pension for a retiree. This right will come to him if, upon his retirement, he gets a job in civilian life. — At the same time, employment must be official. If the employer does not make pension contributions, the right to an insurance pension will not arise, experts explain to RIA Novosti. In order to simultaneously receive a military and insurance pension, the following requirements must be met: - reaching retirement age; — the presence of a certain civilian length of service (it does not include periods of military service or work, which are taken into account when calculating a military pension); — presence of the required number of pension points. In connection with the adopted pension reform, the requirements for these indicators will increase annually. In 2021, an insurance pension is assigned to citizens who have reached the age of 56.5 years for women and 61.5 years for men, with a total length of service of 12 years and 21 IPC. In 2025, you will need to have 30 points and at least 15 years of experience. These numbers will not grow in the future. But the retirement age will stop increasing only in 2028. Starting this year, women will retire at age 60, and men at age 65.
Amount of pension for military personnel
The size of the long-service pension for military personnel is set as follows: - for 20 years of service - 50% of the corresponding amounts of monetary allowance, and for each year of service over 20 years - 3%, but in total no more than 85 percent of these amounts; - having a total work experience of 25 calendar years or more, of which at least 12.5 years is military service: for a total work experience of 25 years - 50% of the corresponding amounts of salary and for each year of service over 25 years - 1%. The long-service pension for disabled people is higher than usual. The increase is calculated as a percentage of the social pension and depends on the group - first, second or third. Based on this, the size of the military pension assigned due to disability is calculated. The amount is also influenced by the reasons themselves. The size of the survivor's pension depends on the cause of his death. If a military man served under a contract, then a pension is given to each disabled family member as a percentage of the breadwinner’s salary. 50% is due to: -families of those who died as a result of military trauma; — families of deceased military invalids; -children who have lost both parents; -children of a deceased single mother. If a military man dies due to an illness acquired in service, his family will be paid 40% of the military man's allowance. If the military man served in conscription, the pension will be calculated as a percentage of the social pension. It will be assigned to each disabled family member in an amount that depends on the cause of death of the conscript: - death due to military injury - 200%; —death due to a disease acquired during service—150%.
Recalculation of pension with the help of the court
A labor plan pension is issued from the moment you apply for it (with the exception of the one that is provided from the moment you reach a certain age - it is assigned from the day following dismissal from work, if the application was sent no later than a month from that moment) - in any situation, not before the right to receive it becomes available. Sometimes citizens write applications to the Pension Fund to provide them with payment earlier than the time set by law, and a month is allotted for consideration. There are situations when a citizen is denied an early pension. This decision can be appealed in court.
Let's note ! From the moment the labor type of pension is assigned, situations are not uncommon when some of its share is adjusted.
A citizen has the right to go to court if, for example, he is not granted an early pension
Sometimes this happens automatically (if the Pension Fund has all the necessary information for this), and in some cases the calculations are adjusted through the court.
When the pension is recalculated automatically:
- changes in the calculation of the basic share of the old-age labor pension, a change in the degree of limitation of ability to work;
- making adjustments to the insurance portion of the labor pension;
- recalculation of the volume of the funded share of old-age pension payments for working citizens of retirement age.
In some cases, pension recalculation occurs automatically
In other situations, you will have to go to court for a recalculation. For this purpose, they write an application and draw up additional official papers. Eg:
- a change in the volume of the basic share of pension payments due to work experience in the northern zones, changes in family composition;
- recalculation of pension payments based on a court decision on the insurance part - due to reaching a certain age or due to a temporary refusal to receive it.

Calculation of pensions for military personnel
The formula for calculating a military pension based on length of service: ((OD + OS) x 50% + (OD + OS +) x 3% x 7)) x PC, where OD is the employee’s rate provided for the position; OZ - rate accrued in accordance with rank; PC - reduction factor. The increase in pension for long service for disabled people is calculated as a percentage of the social pension.

Size due to illness acquired during service:—for the first group—75%; — for the second — 75%; - for thirds - 40%. The size of the military survivor's pension depends on the cause of his death. If a military man served under a contract, then a pension of 50% of his salary is given to each disabled family member. It applies to the following categories of citizens: - families of those who died as a result of military trauma; — families of deceased military invalids; -children who have lost both parents; -children of a deceased single mother. If a military man dies due to an illness contracted in service, his family will be paid 40% of his salary.

How to apply?
To receive a long-service pension, you need to submit a package of documents to the pension authority of the law enforcement agency in which the military man served (Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSIN, FSB, etc.). Documents can be sent in person or sent by mail. Their consideration usually takes from 2 to 3 months and depends on the timing of receipt by the military registration and enlistment office or other authorized body of the military personnel’s personal file with a monetary certificate. The day of application for a military pension is the date of filing the application for its appointment. The package of documents required to apply for a long-service pension includes:—an application for a pension; - monetary certificate - a document about all types of allowances that a military man received during his service (kept by personnel employees or in the accounting department); —copy of passport with a mark of registration at the place of residence; —extract from the dismissal order; — a copy of the service record from the personal file; —calculation of length of service for retirement (it is calculated by the pension authority on the basis of a personal file). For a disability pension, the following will be added to this list:—a copy of the conclusion of the military medical commission from the personal file; —extract from the examination report of the medical and social examination commission. For a survivor's pension, the following will be added to the list:—copies of certificates from the registry office about the birth of children, marriage, death. — certificate from the educational institution about the children’s studies.
Conditions of appointment
Citizens can receive a military pension after leaving service for reasons established in the federal law on pensions for persons who served in military service. A long-service pension is awarded when a military personnel reaches a specified length of service and age. According to the law, such a pension is due if: - upon dismissal, the specialized experience is 20 years or more; - the military man’s age is at least 45 years, and his total work experience is at least 25 years, of which at least 12.5 years must be spent in military service. “In this case, payments are available to those dismissed from service after reaching the age limit for service, for health reasons or in connection with organizational and staffing events,” lawyer Olga Skobtseva told RIA Novosti. Military experience includes years of work in the Russian Guard, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, the Federal Penitentiary Service, in civilian ministries and organizations, if the military man remained in military service or as part of law enforcement agencies, as well as other periods specified in the law. For officers and military commanders, up to 5 years of study before entering service are counted toward their length of service. One year of study will be equal to 6 months of service. Service under special conditions is counted toward length of service at a preferential rate. For example, a month of work in countries where hostilities took place is counted as two. Also, special conditions include service in the Far North and in positions associated with an increased danger to life and health. A disability pension is awarded to a military man if he suffered serious health damage during service or within three months after dismissal. In this case, disability must be a consequence of an illness or injury acquired at work, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 8 of the Federal Law “On State Pension Provision in the Russian Federation”. It does not matter how many years the pensioner served in the government structure. Disability is determined by a medical and social examination or a military medical commission of the military district where the military man served. Disabled members of a military family are entitled to a survivor's pension in the event of their: death during service or within three months after dismissal due to injury or illness received during service; —death while receiving a pension; —death within 5 years after termination of pension payments; - death in captivity, if you did not go there voluntarily. —unknown disappearance during hostilities. The following may apply for monthly payments for the loss of a military breadwinner: - children under 18 years of age, and if studying full-time, then up to 23 years of age; —parents or spouse, if after the death of the breadwinner they have lost their source of income, reached retirement age or are disabled; - parents or spouses, if they do not work and care for the children, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren of the breadwinner until the latter are 14 years old; -grandmother or grandfather, if there are no other persons who must support them by law. Widows of military personnel who died under certain conditions can apply for two pensions at once: for the loss of a breadwinner and any other (for old age, for disability). This right is granted to women who have not entered into a new marriage. “After concluding a new marriage, the right to receive a survivor’s pension will remain, but the right to a second pension will be cancelled,” lawyers say.
