Questions
Is it possible to receive a long-service pension and work?
“In case of premature departure, you cannot work in the same field where you earned a preferential pension, but you can continue to work in another specialty,” explained Olga Skobtseva.
Is it possible to retire early due to health reasons?
— For military personnel, law enforcement officers, astronauts, and pilots, early retirement is possible if a number of conditions are met (length of service, length of service in certain positions). For others, it is only possible to receive support from the state due to disability,” the specialist said.
How to calculate a superannuation pension
Calculation of due payments occurs in accordance with length of service. With a minimum length of service, which by law is 15 years, its amount is equal to 45% of the salary.
The maximum allowable amount should not exceed 75% of wages, including old-age or disability pension. An additional year of experience gives an increase of 3%, that is, beyond the specified minimum experience of 15 years.
In order to additionally receive a share of the insurance part of the pension, it is also necessary to have work experience in other areas after the appointment and registration of a long-service pension. At the same time, its receipt does not deprive the right to preferential payments to the fixed part of the insurance pension: based on age, the presence of dependents and disabled family members.
