Many citizens of our country carried out (and many still continue) their labor activity near Far North or in adjacent areas.

For this reason, they are all wondering how to calculate their work experience? What can be included in it and what cannot?

What formula is used to calculate the northern pension? Is it possible for men if they have northern experience? And finally, what legislative acts regulate the issue of northern pensions?

For this reason, we will consider all these issues in more detail.

Legislative regulation

In Russian legislation, the issue of northern pensions is regulated by the following: legislative acts:

This list of bills is not final, but all the key nuances are described in them.

Calculation of northern experience for receiving pension benefits

For male citizens it is necessary to have in stock minimum 15 years of work experience in the Far North to qualify for the northern pension. At the same time, for working men in the adjacent territories, the legislation established a minimum threshold of 20 years.

It is also necessary to take into account the fact that it is possible retirement 5 years earlier due date exactly .

It is also worth noting that since 2002, the procedure for calculating northern work experience has remained unchanged. Before this period, 1 year of work for men in the Far North was equal to 1.5 years. After latest changes 9 months of labor activity in difficult climatic conditions is equivalent to 1 year of experience.

In addition, for calculating northern work experience, the territory of residence plays a key role, which should be attributed directly to the northern regions. An example of this is Kamchatka.

It is also worth noting that some changes did occur. This was back in 2012.

According to these modifications, V seniority in the north For men, the following period cannot be included:

• period of registered unpaid leave;
• the time it took to donate blood (donation);
• the period required for dismissal due to staff reduction;
• the period during which men were in status (it does not matter whether they were registered with the employment center or not).

However, it is necessary to take into account the fact that male citizens who worked part-time, but at the same time worked in several jobs in parallel - such experience is added to the northern one.

For citizens who work on shift, the length of service includes not only the period of work, but also the time it takes to get to your job, including vacation between shifts.

To confirm availability work experience, it is necessary to have a corresponding entry in the work book. This will be proven by the fact of working in an organization that operates in the Far North or in the territories adjacent to it. If there are no entries in the work book, you can provide other supporting documents. For example, an employment contract.

In order to be able to accrue northern experience for themselves, it is necessary that male citizens have at least 7.5 years of experience in the North.

In order to determine retirement age According to benefits, it is necessary to add 4 months to each year worked.

Conditions for receiving pension payments

In order to be eligible to apply for a northern pension, you must answer certain requirements, namely:

For citizens who belong to the category of military personnel, the possibility of receiving it at the same time is allowed. At the same time, they have the right to claim an additional increase of 3% for each year that comes after 20 years of service.

Calculation procedure

First of all, you need to remember about the basic pension amount, which is 4982 rubles.

Pension Funds when calculating pension payment use the following formula:

PV = BS * Ktd + IPK + B * Kipk

Wherein:

Procedure for obtaining a northern pension

Registration process Northern pension is as follows:

1. Collection of necessary documentation.
2. Contacting the relevant authority and filing an application.
3. Waiting for the decision period.
4. Receiving payments.

Where to go?

To apply for a northern pension, you must contact the territorial body of the Pension Fund.

It is also possible to submit the required list of documents electronically if the applicant lives in a remote area.

What documents need to be collected?

An applicant for a northern pension must provide list of such documentation, How:

• application - filled out together with PF employees;
• passport that confirms identity;
• work book or other document. The main thing to understand here is that any document is presented that confirms work in the Far North or in adjacent territories.

In addition, it may be necessary additional package of documents(at the request of PF employees), which may consist of the following:

• a document confirming the presence of dependents;
• a document confirming residence in a specific region - issued at the passport office;
• certificate of average wages over the last 5-10 years.

What is the review period?

From the moment the required package of documents is submitted, PF employees make a decision on granting a northern pension within the first 30 calendar days , after this, a monthly pension will be issued.

Conditions for early retirement for men with northern experience

Men who worked for a certain period in the Far North or in the adjacent territory they have a right for early retirement in the following cases:

The current legislation of the Russian Federation allows the possibility of appointment pension provision with a reduced age in proportion to the actual experience. To do this, it is enough to have 7.5 years of work experience in the Far North region.

If such a situation arises, the pension payment will be assigned with a reduced retirement age of 4 months for each year of work in difficult climatic conditions. This preferential determination procedure applies only if the total insurance period on a universal basis.

As you can see, for the male category of citizens of our country there are few options for retiring early, but such an option still exists, which is good news.

The following video shows the premiums for working in the far north:

Since January 1, 2002, labor pensions have been assigned and paid in accordance with the federal law “On labor pensions in Russian Federation» dated December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ. When establishing the size of the labor pension in accordance with this law, the total calendar length of service as of January 1, 2002 is taken into account.

Current pension legislation A number of benefits are provided for pensioners living in the Far North and equivalent areas.

1. Thus, the fixed basic size of the insurance part of the labor pension for old age and disability for these persons is determined taking into account the regional coefficient established by the government of the Russian Federation depending on the region (locality) of their residence. For residents living in the Kamchatka Territory, payment of a fixed base size labor pension for old age, disability, and loss of a breadwinner is carried out using a regional coefficient of 1.6. The fixed basic amount of the insurance part of the pension for Kamchatka from April 1, 2014 is 6,256.56 rubles, and on the mainland - 3,910.35 rubles. (In accordance with clause 6 of article 14 and clause 5 of article 15 of the federal law of December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ.)

2. When calculating the amount of the insurance part of the pension, an increased earnings ratio of 1.7 is taken into account (on the mainland - 1.2), which is not recalculated when the pensioner leaves the Far North.

3. For residents of the Far North, the right to early appointment labor pension, the pension is assigned with a reduction in the generally established retirement age by 5 years if there is an insurance period of at least 25 years and 20 years for men and women, respectively. Moreover, if the “northern” experience is less than 15 calendar years, but there are 7 years 6 months or more, the pension is also assigned earlier than the generally established age, the retirement age is reduced by 4 months for each year worked in the North.

4. For women who have given birth to 2 or more children, the retirement age is reduced by 5 years if they have at least 20 years of insurance coverage and have worked for at least 12 calendar years in the Far North.

5. On January 1, 2008, Federal Law No. 312-FZ of December 1, 2007 came into force, according to which persons who have worked in the Far North for at least 15 calendar years or at least 20 calendar years in equivalent areas, and having insurance experience of at least 25 and 20 years for men and women, respectively, a regional coefficient of 1.5 is established for the basic part of the labor pension for old age or disability, regardless of the place of residence and time of departure from these areas.

6. For non-working pensioners regions of the Far North and equivalent areas that are recipients labor pensions for old age and disability, compensation is provided for the cost of travel to a vacation spot in the Russian Federation and back once every 2 years in accordance with Art. 34 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 19, 1993 No. 4520-1 “On state guarantees and compensation for persons working and living in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas, to vacation spots on the territory of the Russian Federation and back.” This benefit has been provided to pensioners since January 1, 2005.

Thus, the current legislation is constantly being improved in terms of pension benefits for northerners. On January 1, 2015, a new pension law, which also provides for the preservation of pension benefits for northerners.

Press service of the OPFR in the Kamchatka Territory

Besides, women entitled to retire at 50 years old, if they simultaneously meet three conditions:

• gave birth to two or more children;
• have a total insurance experience of at least 20 years;
• worked for at least 12 calendar years in the Far North, or at least 17 calendar years in areas equivalent to it.

Also, those who have worked for at least 20 years (women) and 25 years (men) as reindeer herders, fishermen or commercial hunters can retire earlier (at 45 years old) and (at 50 years old). In this case, a mandatory condition is permanent residence in these areas.

Retirement age in the north

The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for the establishment of old-age insurance payments with a decrease retirement age proportionally existing work experience in the Northern regions. For each calendar year of work, the retirement age decreases for 4 months.

Thus, persons who have worked in the Far North a certain number of years, can receive payment earlier than the generally established age in Russia, regardless of whether they live in these areas or not:

For citizens who carried out labor activities in localities equated to a given district, each calendar year of work is considered as 9 months work experience in the Far North.

Early social old-age pension

If a citizen, due to any circumstances, was unable to earn a sufficient amount pension points, the required work experience or did not work at all, then he is entitled to an insurance pension doesn't have.

However, the legislation of the Russian Federation provides for these categories of the population. Just like insurance, it is established upon reaching a certain age. However, it is worth noting that in some cases social pension may be scheduled earlier.

In accordance with paragraph 4 of Part 1 of Art. 11 of Law 166-FZ of December 15, 2001, women can apply for social security in old age at 50 years old, and men at 55 years old only if they are representatives small peoples of the North and permanently reside in these areas.

According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1049 of October 1, 2015, the small peoples of the North include the Aleuts, Itelmens, Nenets, Chukchi, Evenks, etc. The rest of the citizens who do not belong to these nations, social payment old age is set at the same level as everyone else in the country - at 65 years (women) and 70 years (men).

The size of the pension for northerners

For all citizens of our country, pension insurance coverage calculated in accordance with Article 15 of Federal Law No. 400-FZ. determined by the following formula:

SP st = IPK × SPK + FV,

• SP st - insurance pension old age;
• IPC- individual pension coefficient(number of pension points);
• SPK- the cost of one point on the day the security is established;
• FV - fixed payment.

The social pension has been indexed.

Is the northern pension preserved when moving to another region of Russia?

In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, when moving to a new place of residence, the amount of the northern pension subject to recalculation. Moreover, depending on where the pensioner moves, the amount can be either reduced or increased.

• The size is subject to revision, which is determined taking into account regional coefficient.
• This coefficient is established only for the period during which the recipient lives in the northern region.
• In addition, each northern region has its own coefficient and, accordingly, the amount of the pension upon assignment may differ.

If a pensioner moves to a region with normal climatic conditions, the fixed payment to his pension will be recalculated without taking into account this coefficient, which, accordingly, will affect the size of the pension - it will be lower.

Thus, when moving to another region of our country northern pension is not preserved, since the fixed payment to it is paid in an increased amount only during the period of permanent residence of pensioners in these areas.

The procedure for assigning and paying pensions in the Far North

Apply for the appointment of a pension payment, both for insurance and for social security a citizen can immediately after acquiring the right to it. To do this, you must submit a corresponding application to the territorial body of the Pension Fund of Russia or the Multifunctional Center.

The Pension Fund is considering an application for a pension within 10 working days from the day of its reception. If a positive decision is made, the payment is established from the first day of the month of application. Both one and the other type of pension provision are paid monthly and assigned indefinitely by application.

If a citizen received, but did not acquire the right to, he will automatically be assigned a social old-age pension.

The recipient of the security has the right to choose one of three existing delivery methods Money:

• Russian Post (to your home or at the box office);
• delivery organization (to home or at the box office);
• bank (at the cash desk or by card).

The first exciting issue is pensions for northerners in 2015 and changes that will affect northern pensions from 2015. Let us remind you that from January 1, 2015, the old-age labor pension will be transformed into an old-age insurance pension, and the fixed basic amount will be transformed into a fixed payment to the insurance pension. At the same time, the procedure for early assignment of insurance pensions and increasing the fixed payment for northerners does not change. All the conditions and examples listed below also apply to the fixed basic amount of the labor pension valid before January 1, 2015 and after January 1, 2015.

Northern pension experience and retirement age.

Woman - at 50 years old
Far North - 15 calendar years of experience or equivalent areas - 20 calendar years of experience. Insurance experience – 20 years.
Woman - at 50 years old
Two or more children, the Far North - 12 calendar years of experience, or equivalent areas - 17 calendar years of experience. Insurance experience – 20 years.
Male - 55 years old
Far North - 15 calendar years of experience or equivalent areas - 20 calendar years of experience. Insurance experience – 25 years.
Man - at 50 years old, woman - at 45 years old
Permanent residence in the Far North and equivalent areas. Work for at least 25 and 20 years, respectively, as reindeer herders, fishermen, and commercial hunters
9 months of work in the far north = 1 calendar year of work in an area equivalent to the regions of the far north

The law provides for the possibility of assigning a pension with a reduction in the retirement age in proportion to the length of service. This requires at least 7 years 6 months of work in the Far North. (More details in the table above) In this case, the insurance pension is assigned with a reduction in the retirement age (60 years for men and 55 years for women) by four months for each full calendar year of work in these areas. Citizens who have worked for at least 15 calendar years in the regions of the Far North or at least 20 calendar years in equivalent areas and have the insurance period and length of service in the relevant types of work required for the early assignment of an old-age insurance pension, the age established for the early assignment of a pension, decreases by 5 years. And we will provide another table to make it even clearer.

And let's describe this problem a little more. The duration of the required work experience in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas depends on the severity of the natural and climatic conditions in which such work is carried out (the regions of the Far North are more severe compared to equivalent areas), therefore the legislation establishes rules for summing up periods of work in different northern regions and localities. The pension in such cases is established for 15 calendar years of work in the Far North.

Example
Sergey Ivanovich worked for 8 years in Arkhangelsk (an area equated to the regions of the Far North) and 10 years in Murmansk (a region of the Far North). We transfer work in similar areas to work in the Far North: 8 years x 9 months. = 72 months / 12 = 6 years. Let's add 6 years to the existing work experience in the Far North (10 years), we get 16 calendar years of work in the Far North, which gives the right to early assignment of an old-age insurance pension at 55 years.

Example
Ivan Petrovich worked for 22 years in Arkhangelsk (an area equated to the regions of the Far North) and 12 years 6 months in Moscow according to List No. 2, i.e. he has the right to early retirement on two grounds. He can be granted a pension at the age of 50: with a reduction in the retirement age by 5 years in accordance with List No. 2 and by another 5 years for work experience in areas equated to the regions of the Far North.

Compensation for pensioners in the north for travel costs to and from their holiday destinations

Non-working pensioners who are recipients of old-age and disability pensions and who live in the Far North and equivalent areas have the right to compensation for the cost of travel to and from their vacation destination once every two years. For compensation, a pensioner can apply to the Russian Pension Fund at the place of residence with an application in the prescribed form indicating the place of rest. In this case, the place of rest must be located on Russian territory.

• provision of travel documents ensuring the pensioner’s travel to the place of rest and back;
• reimbursement of expenses actually incurred by the pensioner to pay the cost of travel to the place of vacation and back.

Northern pension when moving

Let's look at the question that people have when they want to move from the northern regions or vice versa to the northern regions. How will their pension change? To do this, we consulted with the local pension fund, looked for legislation regulating this issue and will present you with a brief summary on this issue. If a pensioner moves from the Far North to an area with normal natural and climatic conditions, the fixed payment is determined without a regional coefficient.
Citizens who have worked for at least 15 calendar years in the regions of the Far North or at least 20 calendar years in areas equivalent to them, and have an insurance record of at least 25 years (for men) or at least 20 years (for women), have a fixed payment to old age insurance pension and disability insurance pension set at an increased rate regardless of place of residence. Moreover, of these, only those citizens who live in the regions of the Far North or in areas equivalent to them are given the right to choose: an increase in the fixed payment using the corresponding regional coefficient or the establishment of an increased fixed payment of the insurance pension.
If a pensioner moves from the Far North region to another northern region, where a larger or smaller regional coefficient is established for wages, the fixed payment to the old-age insurance pension, disability insurance pension and survivor's pension is subject to change either upward or downward depending on the region of the new place of residence.

The territories of the Far North include 20% of the area of ​​Russia. Another 10% are territories equated to them, located in close proximity to the Arctic Circle. Work in this area is particularly difficult due to the harsh climatic conditions. Northern experience is the number of years worked by a person in the Far North and equivalent territories.

What does northern experience give?

Work experience in the north provides people with certain benefits compared to regular work experience. The main ones are an increased northern pension for men and women whose work experience complies with the law, and the right early exit for a well-deserved rest.

The size of the pension for workers in the North is increasing due to the use of increased coefficients for the northern regions. The value of the coefficients is set separately for each region. The largest of them (2) is used for workers of Chukotka, Sakhalin region, Kamchatka and parts of Yakutia.

The smallest northern coefficient (1.15) is used in Karelia.

As for required experience work in the North, it is established in Article 33 of the Law “On Insurance Pensions” (No. 400-FZ dated December 28, 2013):

• In the Far North regions you need to work for 15 years;
• In areas equivalent to it - 20 years.

Such northern experience is needed for early retirement, for both men and women. Men can become pensioners at 55 years old, and women at 50, and they must have a total insurance period of 25 and 20 years, respectively.

Additional benefits for northerners

In addition to the above benefits, northern experience provides the employee with:

• The right to receive the title “Veteran of Labor” before age established by law for the general order.
• The right to receive housing subsidies: applies only to workers who came to the North before 1992 and need improved housing conditions.
• A woman with 2 or more children who has worked in the northern regions for 15 years is given the right to retire 5 years early.

Some organizations provide additional benefits for their employees upon retirement. This is being done to attract qualified workers to enterprises in the northern regions, where the personnel issue is acute.

How to calculate northern experience

Some facts

If a person works on a shift basis, then the length of service includes not only the period of work itself, but also the time it takes to get to work, as well as the vacation between shifts.

Northern seniority is calculated according to the rules for ordinary seniority with some exceptions. That is, all periods of work in the regions of the Far North and equivalent regions are summed up.

Northern experience does not include:

• Time spent registering at the labor exchange and receiving unemployment benefits.
• Maternity leave to care for a child until he reaches 3 years of age. Unlike total experience Even a year and a half of such leave does not count towards the northern one. It only includes the time of prenatal and postnatal leave.
• Part-time work. Despite the fact that a note about such activity is entered in the work book, it is possible to take it into account in the northern work experience only in the case when the citizen worked for several northern organizations, and in total his working time gives a full time rate;
• Training and other periods that are not included in the total length of service.

When moving for work from one northern region to another, the special length of service continues, but the coefficient for calculating the amount of the pension changes accordingly.

The table describes who is entitled to an early old-age pension.

Moving to an area with a normal climate stops the progress of northern work experience, but already accumulated work experience in the Far North will be taken into account when assigning a pension.

How is northern experience of less than 15 years taken into account?

If, after calculating the northern work experience, it turns out that it has not been fully developed, certain benefits for employees still remain.
If the work experience in the North is less than 15 years, but more than 7.5 years, each year of northern experience allows a person to retire 4 months earlier than usual.
