On June 16, 2018, the draft law on raising the retirement age was submitted to the State Duma. On August 29, the president made his proposals. How has the retirement table changed depending on the year of birth? Let's compare the options and show tables published by the Pension Fund.

Where it all started

On June 14, 2018, Prime Minister Medvedev at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers formulated the following conditions pension reform:

• retirement for women - 63 years (plus 8 years);
• retirement age for men it increases by 5 years (reaches 65 years).

According to the Prime Minister, this will benefit everyone Russian pensioners, as it will improve their financial situation: it will be possible to annually index pensions by an average of 1000 rubles, which more than doubles the current amount of indexation. But this can only happen if the country’s economy grows, which is what working-age citizens must ensure (according to statistics, now only a quarter of pensioners retire upon reaching retirement age). Alexey Kudrin also stated that this is beneficial to citizens.

The Prime Minister also announced that the changes will not be immediate:

It is proposed to introduce a fairly long transition period: it is proposed to start in 2019 in order to step by step achieve retirement at 65 years for men in 2028 and at 63 years for women in 2034.

As originally planned

The pension reform will affect men born in 1959 and women born in 1964: these are the oldest future pensioners, for whom the retirement age will be postponed by 1 year. That is, if, according to the previous rules, they would have retired in 2019, at the ages of 60 (men) and 55 (women), now they will receive this right only in 2020, when they turn 61 and 56 years old.

Women born later must add a year for the calculation. Arithmetic will not be needed for those born in 1971 and later: for them, the age of 63 will become a reality.

Men born between 1960 and 1962 also need to increment one year at a time to reach their retirement age, while for those born in 1963 and later, the age is already set at 65 years.

Teachers, doctors and creative workers who had the right to retire early will retain this right, but they will be able to exercise it 8 years later than now.

For “northerners” (working in the Far North) and those equivalent to them, the retirement age is also pushed back: 60 years for men and 58 for women.

For convenience, the PPT editors have prepared a table of retirement by year of birth, in which the changes become obvious without additional calculations.

Men

Retirement schedule (scenario relaxed by Putin)

Let us recall the president's proposal:

Establishment of a special benefit for citizens who were supposed to retire under the old legislation in the next 2 years. They will have the right to apply for a pension 6 months earlier than the new retirement age. For example, a person who, according to the new retirement age, will have to retire in January 2020, will be able to do this already in July 2019.

Women

And for people who have already retired and are waiting for the promised increase in its size in 2019, we have prepared a simple calculator that will help determine the size of their pension next year.

The Russian government has decided to raise the retirement age.

The corresponding bill will soon be submitted to the State Duma for consideration.

Several options for raising the retirement age were considered. And the government settled on the toughest. Thus, it is proposed to raise the retirement age for men to 65 years for men and to 63 years for women.

According to the government's legislative initiative, the increase in the retirement age will be gradual and will begin on January 1, 2019. At the same time, the retirement age for men will be raised from the current 60 to 65 by 2028. The retirement age for women will rise from 55 to 63 by 2034.
Raising the retirement age will primarily affect men born in 1959 and women born in 1964. They will be eligible to retire in 2020 - at the ages of 61 and 56 years, respectively.

Men born in 1960 and women born in 1965 will be able to retire at the ages of 62 and 57, respectively.

Women born in 1964 will retire at 56, and women born in 1971 at 63.

As a result, the retirement age will be: for men - 65 years by 2028; for women - 63 years by 2034.

Table of increasing the retirement age in Russia:

Men born in 1959, women born in 1964. – will receive the right to retire in 2020 at the ages of 61 and 56 years, respectively.
Men born in 1960, women born in 1965. – in 2022 at the ages of 62 and 57 years, respectively.
Men born in 1961, women born in 1966. – in 2024 at the ages of 63 and 58 years, respectively.
Men born in 1962, women born in 1967. – in 2026 at the ages of 64 and 59 years, respectively.
Men born in 1963, women born in 1968. – in 2028 at the ages of 65 and 60 years, respectively.
Women born in 1969 – will receive the right to retire in 2030 at the age of 61.
Women born 1970 – in 2032 at the age of 62 years.
Women born in 1971 – in 2034 at the age of 63 years.

Commenting on the increase in the retirement age, the government indicated that those pensioners who will retire this year will not be affected by the changes.

The pension reform will not affect preferential categories of citizens. The government plans to maintain existing benefits for early retirement. The pension reform will not affect those who work in harmful and dangerous industries, women who have five or more children, visually impaired people of the first group, one of the parents or guardians of a disabled child, Chernobyl victims, etc. In addition, all citizens with extensive experience (40 and 45 years for women and men, respectively) will be able to retire two years earlier than the “planned” date.

As compensation, the government proposes to give to those who have long experience(40 years for women and 45 years for men), the opportunity to retire two years early.

The country's authorities indicate that raising the retirement age will help increase the income of non-working pensioners. According to Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, after raising the retirement age, pensions in our country will increase annually by about 1 thousand rubles.

The State Duma indicated that they will carefully study the government’s proposals to raise the retirement age. Experts believe that the State Duma will most likely make no significant changes to the government reform project pension system will not contribute.

Table - Which years of birth are eligible for raising the retirement age?

Thus, the changes proposed by the Government will affect all citizens of the Russian Federation who as of January 1, 2019, they have not yet received an old-age pension in accordance with the current retirement age established by paragraph 1 of Art. 8 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 - namely women born in 1964 and men born in 1959 and younger.

Pension reform in 2018

The fact that the decision on the issue of raising the retirement age, which has been so actively discussed by Russians in recent months, is in fact has already been finally adopted by the Government, one of the first to say at the SPIEF-2018 forum held in St. Petersburg on May 24-26 was Alexey Kudrin, a longtime supporter of this “inevitable structural measure”:

“The government has already started doing something. Let's say it announced that it will nevertheless raise the retirement age - what we talked about. And this structural measure is inevitable. Finally, it has been announced, this is, one might say, a bold step by the government.”

Head of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation Alexey Kudrin in a speech at SPIEF on May 25, 2018.

One way or another, this reform will affect all Russian citizens who will not have time to retire under current laws within the next year (these are men under 60 years of age and women under 55 years of age). A specific decision on all issues of pension reform has not yet been announced, since the ministries are still discussing all possible options.

• Speaking at the same SPIEF 2018 forum, Deputy Prime Minister for Social Issues Tatyana Golikova noted that pension reform may begin to be implemented as early as 2019, but some changes may be introduced a little later.
• At the same time, in order to have time to consider and make amendments before the formation of the federal budget for the next three years, the draft law for comprehensive reform of the pension system may be submitted for consideration as early as June 2018- First Deputy Speaker of the State Duma, Deputy Alexander Zhukov announced this.

It should be noted that within the framework of the reform proposed by the Government, other adjustments to the structure of the pension system as a whole are not excluded: not only regarding raising the retirement age, but also changes in funded pension, introduction of individual pension capital (IPC), the right to early pensions, etc.

The calculation was made based on the year of birth of citizens.

The government has decided on a scheme to increase the retirement age in Russia. The reform will start at the beginning of 2019. The transition will be gradual: eventually, men will become pensioners at 65 years old, women at 63 years old. Officials provided a “calculator”: how citizens of pre-retirement age will receive the right to retire in the coming years.

So, a long transition period is envisaged before the introduction of a “maximum” retirement age, the Therussiantimes website reports. For men it will end in 2028, for women - in 2034.

Men born in 1959, women born in 1964. - will receive the right to retire in 2020 (at the age of 61 and 56 years, respectively).

Men born in 1960, women born in 1965. - will receive the right to retire in 2022 (at the age of 62 and 57 years, respectively).

Men born in 1961, women born in 1966. - will receive the right to retire in 2024 (at the age of 63 and 58 years, respectively).

Men born in 1962, women born in 1967. - will receive the right to retire in 2026 (at the ages of 64 and 59 years, respectively).

Men born in 1963, women born in 1968. - will receive the right to retire in 2028 (at the age of 65 and 60 years, respectively). Further, men born in later years will become pensioners from the age of 65 - unless, of course, something changes again in the system.

Women born in 1969 - will receive the right to retire in 2030 (at the age of 61).

Women born 1970 - will receive the right to retire in 2032 (at the age of 62 years).

Women born in 1971 - will receive the right to retire in 2034 (at the age of 63). Accordingly, women of later years of birth will then begin to become pensioners at this age.

On October 3, 2018, Vladimir Putin signed a law amending pension legislation.

A bill to raise the retirement age in Russia was presented by the Government on June 14, 2018. It was initially assumed that new reform men will receive an old-age insurance pension from 65 years old, and women - from 63, that is, their working age should have increased for them by 5 and 8 years, respectively. However, on September 6, 2018, Vladimir Putin sent amendments to the bill to the State Duma, according to which the retirement age will be increased for both sexes for 5 years, from 55 to 60 years for women and from 60 to 65 years for men.

Other presidential amendments:

• Possibility of early retirement for mothers of many children. Women with three children will be able to retire three years earlier established period, if four children - four years earlier, for women with five or more children the possibility of retirement will remain at 50 years old.
• Benefits for citizens who, according to the old legislation, were supposed to retire in the next two years - the right to apply for a pension six months earlier than the new retirement age.
• Establishment for employers administrative or even criminal liability for the dismissal of employees near retirement age or for refusal to hire such citizens because of their age.
• Increasing the maximum amount of unemployment benefits for citizens of pre-retirement age from 4900 rubles to 11280 rubles, starting from January 1, 2019, the payment period is set at one year.
• The current conditions for granting a pension for indigenous peoples of the North.
• Introduction 25 ‑ interestallowances to an insurance pension for non-working pensioners, living invillage, whose experience in agriculture is at least 30 years.
• Decrease length of service, giving the right to early exit pension for three years, that is, for women it will be 37 years, and for men - 42 years.
• Saving all federal benefits for real estate, as well as tax benefits effective as of December 31, 2018, throughout the transition period.

The new law also provides for an increase in the rate of increase in the retirement age for civil servants. Let us recall that for this category of citizens, the retirement age began to increase as early as January 1, 2017, in increments of six months per year. However, after the entry into force federal law the working age will increase in accordance with the rate of increase in the generally established age - year by year, starting in 2020.

The main reason for raising the retirement age is elimination of imbalance in the pension system. Every year the number of pensioners in Russia increases, while the working-age population decreases. Life expectancy is also increasing, from 2000 to 2017 for men it increased - from 59 to 67.5 years, and for women - from 72.26 to 77.64 years. As Dmitry Medvedev notes, the duration of the active phase of life has increased, new opportunities have appeared and conditions have improved labor activity. The Government believes that raising the working age will make it possible to pay higher pensions in the future.

The funds saved as a result of increasing the retirement age of Russians will be used to implement Presidential Decree 204 of 05/07/2018 on the development tasks of Russia until 2024.

Who will not have their retirement age raised in 2019? Here is information disseminated by the Russian Ministry of Labor about benefit groups that should not be affected by the changes to raise the retirement age from 2019.

Who will not increase their retirement age in 2019: list of professions and benefit groups

Entered into force new law on pension reform will significantly adjust the procedure for Russians to receive an old-age insurance pension as early as January 1, 2019, which is primarily due to an increase in the retirement age.

But will the new retirement rules affect everyone? who will not increase their retirement age ? It turns out that there are many exceptions that the Ministry of Labor announced in detailed information about the government project pension reform . We provide information disseminated by the ministry about benefit groups that should not be affected by changes to raise the retirement age from 2019 .

Categories of citizens who will not be affected

Raising the retirement age won't touch current pensioners , this is about 46.5 million pension recipients (both through Pension Fund Russia, and “power” departments). They, as before, will receive all pension and social payments in accordance with the acquired pension rights and benefits, the Ministry of Labor reports.

Increase in the level of pension provision due to an increase in the working period

Raising the retirement age will ensure an increase in pensions for non-working pensioners– indexation of pensions above inflation in accordance with the Presidential Decree Russian Federation dated May 7, 2018 No. 204 “On national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024.”

In the last three years, on average, pensions have been increased by 400-500 rubles. So, in 2016 the increase was 399 rubles, in 2017 – 524 rubles, in 2018 – 481 rubles.

Increasing the retirement age will allow increasing the size of pensions non-working pensioners almost 1,000 rubles per year.

Life expectancy growth in Russia

The proposal to change the working age is due to the formation of a different demographic situation in the country, taking into account the global trend of population aging.

• Only from 2000 to 2017, life expectancy at birth in Russia for men increased by 8.5 years (from 59 to 67.5 years), and for women - by 5.4 years (from 72.26 to 77.64 years) .
• Life expectancy, according to Rosstat forecasts, in 2024 will be 72.3 years for men (an increase of 5.8 years compared to the 2017 level), and 82.1 years for women (an increase of 4.5 years compared to the 2017 level).
• By the end of the transition period, that is, when the age is set at 65 years for men and 63 years for women, life expectancy will increase to the level of 2017 for men in 2028 by 7.6 years and will be 75.1 years for women – by 2034 by 7.64 years and will be 85.28 years.

International trends

Today, almost all countries have already raised the retirement age. The beginning of raising the retirement age in countries around the world was the 80s of the 20th century.

• Among the countries of the Eurasian space and Eastern Europe that are close to Russia in terms of living conditions, all states, with the exception of Uzbekistan (Uzbekistan announced the goal of bringing its retirement age to the global one), have raised the retirement age.
• For men, the retirement age is set at 65 years in Moldova, Azerbaijan,
• and the retirement age for women is set at 63 years in Armenia and is already being raised in Kazakhstan.
• In the Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), the retirement age will be raised to 65 years by 2025-2027,
• and in the countries of the Old World (Germany, Spain, Italy) in the 2020s - up to 67 years for both men and women.

On June 14, the Government of the Russian Federation approved the draft federal law “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation on the Appointment and Payment of Pensions”, prepared by the Ministry of Labor and social protection RF.
