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 base size– as 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 conditions and examples listed below also apply to a fixed base size. labor pension, valid until 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 regions Far North and similar 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 work in areas equated to the regions of the far north

The law provides for the possibility of assigning a pension with a reduction retirement age in proportion to the existing experience. This requires at least 7 years 6 months of work in the Far North. (More details in the table above) In this case insurance pension is appointed with a reduction in 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.

Work experience in the Far North	The age at which the right to an insurance pension arises
7 years 6 months	Men - 57 years 8 months. Women - 52 years 8 months.
	Men - 57 years 4 months. Women - 52 years 4 months.
	Men - 57 years old. Women - 52 years old.
	Men - 56 years 8 months. Women - 51 years 8 months.
	Men - 56 years 4 months. Women - 51 years 4 months.
	Men - 56 years old. Women - 51 years old.
	Men - 55 years 8 months. Women - 50 years 8 months.
	Men - 55 years 4 months. Women - 50 years 4 months.
15 years or more	Men - 55 years old. Women - 50 years old.

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 appointment old age insurance pension at age 55.

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 for two reasons. 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.

Types of compensation:

• 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, fixed payment 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 to wages a larger or smaller regional coefficient is established; 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 minimum and average pension per month in Kamchatka is:

• in 2015 - 17800 - minimum, 19500 - average;
• in 2016 - 18,700 - minimum, 20,600 - average;
• in 2017 - a slight increase in pensions is expected against the background of the general economic situation in the country.

Compared to the average benefits in the country, Kamchatka pensions seem large, but this is influenced by many factors.

For example, prices, remoteness of the region, not the most favorable conditions. Cities in Kamchatka are based on a military structure and ports. People come here to earn money so that their income will be high.

An increase in the amount provokes a change in external conditions and the regional coefficient. The Kamchatka Territory falls under the law on the payment of supplements to the benefits of people living in the Far North and, accordingly, has some financial advantage.

The minimum wage in the region is also higher than in other regions. For 2017, the minimum wage was 15,800-18,230 rubles. Compared to 2015-2016, the amount has not increased much, but progress is visible.

Also in 2017, pensions were increased for non-working pensioners. For the rest, the index will rise after they leave their jobs.

Additional payments and allowances

As already written above, people go to the peninsula to work, because work here ensures an almost comfortable old age.

The “northern” amount of payments is considered extremely high, in some regions it is 2 times more, if you compare, for example, this peninsula and.

All this is based on the law that the peoples of the Far North and similar areas receive some additional pensions. It depends not only on where you live, but also on length of service and so-called calendar years.

In the whole country, Kamchatka pensions are higher than basic Russian ones in 1.5-1.6 times. This applies not only to labor, but also to social pensions.

A reduction in the amount when leaving Kamchatka occurs only if the full length of service established by the authorities is not observed. You must work for 15 calendar years and have 25 years of insurance experience. Only then will the full amount of payments when leaving the territory of the peninsula be preserved.

Pensions in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky are paid on a general basis, as in other Russian regions. Currently, there are 58,191 recipients, with a total number of citizens of retirement age of 93,202.
