The procedure for assigning pensions to FSIN employees
FSIN pension is a type of military pension, which is regulated by Federal Law 4468-1 of February 12, 1993. Consequently, the procedure for assigning pension payments is similar to receiving a pension for military personnel.
Pension payments are assigned by the territorial division of the Federal Penitentiary Service (administration of the federal penitentiary service).
A complete list of the Federal Penitentiary Service can be found on the website.
To receive pension payments, a FSIN employee must have the following grounds:
- Experience - 20 years . In addition to the main activity, the period of work also includes: military service;
- period of military training;
- work as an intern;
- training in specialized universities.

- documents confirming the length of service of an employee of the Federal Penitentiary Service;
- conclusion of the Military Medical Commission (military medical commission).

If the decision is positive, pension payments are assigned from the day the full package of documentation is submitted.
A former FSIN employee can receive a pension in one of the following ways:

- Mail - at the post office or at home.
- Home delivery.
If a FSIN employee continued to work in the civilian sphere after the assignment of pension payments, the amount remains unchanged! If you continue to work in law enforcement agencies, pension contributions are suspended!
The FSIN decided to overcome the outflow of personnel with the help of an extended service life
An officer who has reached the age limit may, by his own consent, remain in service for another five years if his health and certification results meet the requirements. If the bill is adopted, FSIN employees will be able to resign after reaching the age limit according to the previous rules for another four years, until January 1, 2025.
Why is the bill needed?

The need for changes is associated with the outflow of valuable personnel from the Federal Penitentiary Service, according to the explanatory note to the bill. The amendments will allow “to retain highly qualified personnel in the service”, “to effectively use the knowledge and skills of employees, and also to eliminate the shortage of highly professional personnel.” Now there is a shortage of staffing levels in the penal system, note the authors of the bill: by mid-2021 it was 10.7%, or 24.1 thousand people.

If the bill is adopted, “the projected number of employees who, within five years, can decide to continue serving until the increasing age limit for service will be more than 13 thousand people.”
The current standards for the maximum service age for FSIN employees have been in effect since 2021; previously they were even lower: officers up to and including lieutenant colonels served up to 45 years, and colonels - up to 50. As a result, in 2015–2018, 3–4 thousand were dismissed from the FSIN annually. officers who have reached the maximum age, follows from the explanatory note. In 2021, after the adoption of the amendments, the number of retirees decreased to 945 people. Further increases in the service age limit should “consolidate the above positive trend,” the bill says.
In addition, raising the age limit for service in the Federal Penitentiary Service is necessary to comply with the principle of “unity of the legal and organizational foundations of the civil service,” the explanatory note notes. Thus, now there is a higher service age limit for officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian National Guard, the FSB and other Russian law enforcement agencies than for employees of the prison system.

In the current law on the budget for 2021, allocations for pensions to employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service amount to 51 billion rubles; the draft budget for 2021 provides for 58.4 billion rubles. In the 2021 budget, adopted before the latest changes in the service age limit for FSIN officers, 44.2 billion rubles were allocated for pensions.
According to the Council of Europe, which annually publishes reports on the state of the prison system of its member countries, in Russia as of 2020 there were 247 thousand employees of the penal system (the Council of Europe receives data for its reports from governments). As follows from the statistics on the FSIN website, the staff of the penal system is almost 296 thousand people (managerial staff - 225,285)
This is the maximum number in Europe. Russia is followed by Turkey with 55 thousand prison staff and the joint prison administration of England and Wales with 50 thousand staff. At the same time, in Russia there are on average 2.2 prisoners for every employee of the penitentiary system, which is more than the European average.

Calculation of pensions for FSIN employees
In order to independently calculate the amount of your future pension, you need to use the following formula:
To calculate your salary, you need to use the following formula:
Pension size = salary * reduction factor * correction factor.
DS = (salary + additional payment for title + bonuses for length of service) * regional coefficient.
At the end of 2021, the reduction factor is equal to 69,45%.
The adjustment coefficient has a fixed amount in accordance with Article 14 of Federal Law No. 4468-1 - this indicator is proportional to the length of service in the Federal Penitentiary Service.
We recommend reading the following material: Ministry of Internal Affairs pension calculator.
If you have a minimum experience, this coefficient will be equal to 50%. For each year of processing, another 3% is added. For example, with 25 years of experience, the specified coefficient will be: 50%+5*3%= 65%. In addition, you can calculate the size of your future pension using the online calculator below:

Indexation of military pensions in 2021 - what the president decided
-This is not an increase, but an indexation of inflation! Deceivers and thieves! Where is my military pension equivalent to the Soviet military pension? Living on it, I could not think about anything, growing geraniums on the windowsill and caring for the cat. And now the cat doesn’t have enough food to eat; there’s nothing to eat himself after paying for housing and communal services and the Internet!
- salaries by rank and position, as well as monthly interest for length of service for current security forces will be increased from October 1, 2021;
- the pension content of retirees consists of these components, therefore, it will also increase;
- salaries and pensions, growing by 3.7 percent in “pure” terms, are absolutely not impressive, however, we are talking here about the same planned inflation that was included in the federal budget for 2022.

Article 46 of the Law “On pension provision for persons undergoing military service” provides an exhaustive list of circumstances under which the size of a military pension is increased. All allowances are calculated based on the minimum - the estimated pension amount (RPP), by multiplying by the corresponding percentage.
But the rest of the military pensioners will have to be content with what they have. Now, if you dream too much and imagine that from 2021 military pensioners will receive a pension at the level of civil servants or municipal employees, which is financed from the federal and local budgets and without a reduction factor, then you immediately want to live somehow.
-The increase indicated for military pensioners actually corresponds to minus three and minus four percent of the pension. One cannot expect more from the current government. At the same time, they do not forget their loved ones. The indexation of salaries of officials and deputies is carried out in a timely manner. And yet they are absolutely not ashamed of their actions.
In the event of the death of a person working in penitentiary institutions, the relatives of the deceased have the right to receive funds for the loss of a breadwinner. To do this, you also need to submit a corresponding application to the Pension Fund.
Human rights activists sharply opposed this, and this directly contradicts the international obligations of our country - the investigative authorities, with such a configuration of the penal system, would have more opportunities to put pressure on those behind bars.
- The increase will be exactly 3.7% , which corresponds to the predicted price growth index.
- An increase in the monetary allowance of military personnel and persons equivalent to them will entail a corresponding increase in military pensions from October 1, 2021 to 3,7%.
- 9.3 for pension provision for military personnel in 2021 .
It must be said that there are problems in the financial system, and the state may not have enough funds to carry out full indexation. You can replenish the state treasury by increasing taxes and introducing innovations into some legislative acts. However, it is not worth saying that such initiatives will not be very well received by the population.

- Departments (own security, affairs and protection of state secrets, security and convoy, logistics support, personnel, adaptation of convicts, etc.), which are led by deputy directors.
- Institutions subordinate to the Federal Penitentiary Service (motor transport, advanced training, sanatoriums, construction, etc.).
- Territorial departments for managing the subjects of the Federation.
- Institutions subordinate to territorial departments (escorts and training centers).
- Prisons, correctional colonies, pre-trial detention centers and criminal inspections.
- Armed special forces.

One-time payment
Since the pension was increased only once in 2021, the authorities developed a new bill. The essence of the law is the following: a one-time payment of 5,000 rubles to all categories of elderly people, including working pensioners. The bonus will be accrued in January 2021 along with the basic pension.

The work process in the Federal Penitentiary Service is not simple, so the state has provided a simplified scheme for processing pension payments for this category of pensioners. This material provides useful information on assigning pensions to citizens who have worked for more than 20 years in a structure called the FSIN.
