Former military personnel constitute a special category of pensioners due to the peculiarities of accounting for the reasons for going on a well-deserved rest, the principles of calculating the amount of pension benefits. And it is not the Pension Fund that appoints and pays material benefits after dismissal from service, but the Ministry of Defense. Due to the specifics of calculating payments, former military personnel have questions about how the increase and indexation of pensions for military pensioners will take place in 2018.

Who is entitled to military pensions

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense, pension payments are assigned to former military personnel who have gone on well-deserved rest from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and to persons of equal status who have retired from service in:

• fire fighting service;
• drug control authorities;
• bodies of the penal system;
• bodies of the prosecutor's office;
• customs authorities.

Conditions for receiving

The basis for the appointment of pension payments for this category of persons may be:

• length of service;
• the onset of disability.

Accrual of seniority benefits is possible subject to one of the following conditions:

1. Achievement of the required length of military service or in equivalent bodies for 20 years.
2. The total length of service is 25 years, of which the term of service is at least 12.5 years. In this case, it is possible to assign pension payments upon reaching the age of 45, provided that a reorganization of the department has taken place or a deterioration in health has occurred.

The right to assign payments to a pensioner on the occasion of disability are persons who have it:

• in progress job duties or three months after being fired;
• later, but due to illness received in the service.

What determines the size of the pension

The principles for calculating pensions for retired pensioners and civilians are different. The actual amount of their benefits is influenced by:

• the amount of monetary allowances for military personnel (SDV), which includes a salary corresponding to the position held and an allowance for military rank;
• seniority bonus;
• the value of the decreasing coefficient (in 2012, due to a lack of funds in the state budget, it was 54% and had to increase annually to reach 100%).

How pensions are calculated for military pensioners

The legislation establishes limits on the amount of material support for retired pensioners. Accruals should not be less than the social pension benefit. At the same time, the maximum estimated amount of state material support should not exceed 85% of the SDA. The influence of the increase in the length of service on the amount of payments is shown in the table:

Calculation formula for military personnel with more than 20 years of service

With an increase in the length of service, the amount of charges increases. The calculation is made according to the formula:

P = (50% * D + 3% * T * D) * K, where:

• P is the amount of pension accruals;
• T is the number of years after reaching the length of service;
• K is a decreasing coefficient, which in 2018 amounted to 72.23%.

In the presence of mixed experience, the calculation is carried out according to the formula:

• P = (50% * D + 1% * T * D) * K.

Calculation of pensions for military personnel with disabilities

Upon dismissal from service for health reasons and lack of the necessary length of service, retired retirees are assigned disability benefits. Their size depends on the established group and the cause of the disease that led to the onset of disability (whether or not it is related to the performance of official duties). The calculation of the disability pension is made according to the formula:

P = D * P * G, where:

• P is the amount of charges;
• D - the amount of monetary allowance;
• P - reduction factor;
• D - a value equal to 85% for groups 1 and 2 and 50% for group 3 with the onset of disability due to injury or 75% for groups 1 and 2 and 40% for group 3 with disability as a result of illness.

In what cases does the amount of payments increase?

For persons who have retired from service, the legislation provides for additional allowances when calculating payments. Their increase is possible:

• by 32% if there is one disabled dependent, by 64% - for two, 100% - if there are three or more dependents;
• from 150% to 300% upon establishment of disability;
• from 100% to 200% for participants in the Great Patriotic War and persons with the status of "Resident of the besieged Leningrad";
• 100% upon reaching the age of 80;
• by the established coefficient when living in the Far North regions;
• by the territorial coefficient, if the service took place in the northern regions.

When will military pensions be increased in 2018

There is comforting news from the media for military retirees. The indexation of pensions for military pensioners is expected in 2018. At a meeting with members of the Government, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that it is necessary to simultaneously index the payments to persons who have retired. Always from January 1, they carried out an increase in pensions for military personnel, and then from February 1 - an indexation of material support for all other equal categories.

Features of the calculation and payment of a military pension

Since the President of the Russian Federation instructed the Cabinet of Ministers to simultaneously index pensions for military pensioners in 2018 to all from January 1, he instructed to provide funds for these purposes in the state budget of 2018.This is due to the fact that the accrued amounts are paid to retired pensioners under the law a month earlier indexing, so they should be done in December.

Indexation of military pensions

The expected indexation of accruals for retired pensioners is assumed at the level of 4%. It should slightly exceed the inflation index in 2018. It is assumed that they will index pensions for military pensioners in 2018 due to the changed amounts of monetary allowances. From January it is planned to increase the current military salaries. Such a change will entail an increase in military pensions, since their value directly depends on this indicator.

Increase in pensions for military pensioners with insurance experience in 2018

After dismissal, retired retirees can find a job in civilian work. Retired persons are entitled to an old-age pension if:

• they have reached retirement age;
• have work experience (in 2018 it will be 9 years and will increase annually until reaching 15 years in 2025);
• have earned the necessary retirement points (for 2018, you must have 13.8 points).

Percentage of increase in civilian pension for the military

For 2018, retired pensioners are provided with an increase in military pensions and an indexation of labor pensions. It is assumed that they will receive increased old-age pensions by 3.7%, which is slightly higher than the expected inflation rate for 2018. In the form of indexation, an increase in the labor pensions of non-working pensioners is envisaged. For employed persons, the increase in insurance benefits due to indexation is frozen until 2018.

The procedure for calculating an insurance pension

For retired pensioners, the calculation of their amount of insurance remuneration is carried out according to the same principles as for civilians - the number of points and experience is taken into account, but there are differences. When determining the amount of the allowance according to the formula, a fixed value is not summed up, but the length of service in military service is deducted from the total length of service. The amount of credited funds depends on the level wages, since the main determining factor is the number of points. Its value is equal to the ratio of contributions paid from earnings to contributions from the maximum salary from which they are withheld.

The increase in the size of the military pension for disabled people in 2018

The minimum threshold for accruals for disabled military personnel is tied to the size of the social pension benefit (SP). For persons who have received a disability due to injury, the amount calculated by the formula should not be less:

• 300% joint venture for 1 group;
• 250% joint venture for group 2;
• 175% joint venture for group 3.

For retired pensioners who have become disabled as a result of an illness, the amount of the benefit must not be less than:

• 250% joint venture for 1 group;
• 200% joint venture for group 2;
• 150% joint venture for group 3.

For 2018, the amount of social benefits was 5034.25 rubles. It is forecast to increase by 4.1% for 2018 - the expected level of growth in the cost of living. Those who received the minimum allowable payments should expect such an increase. For military personnel receiving higher benefits, the increase will occur due to a change in the amount of monetary allowance, to which the amount of remuneration is tied.

Pensions have been discussed in the media for several recent years when the crisis began. And since then, the pension system has repeatedly undergone changes, during which payments to some pensioners increased, some decreased, and some were canceled altogether. Today, information about how what will be the increase in military pensions in 2018, and Is it worth counting on it at all in the context of the ongoing crisis and the budget deficit.

It is necessary to immediately focus on the fact that the authorities have not yet decided the fate of this issue, but they are still thinking about some changes in the environment of military pensioners. V modern times pension payments are paid only to those people who have been in the army for more than 20 years (this is an official payment determined by the law of the Russian Federation). However, the law contains additional information regarding the fact that it can also be received by those people who have served in the army. more than 12 years, and have an additional 25 years of experience, but they were dismissed from work due to health problems, and did not reach 45 years.

Additionally, it must be said that military pensions in Russia are formed on the basis of the length of service, which must necessarily have a limit established by law, because otherwise a person simply cannot count on receiving it.

Today, it is very common to find information that pension contributions to former military personnel may be canceled in 2018, and this idea finds both supporters and those who are rather skeptical about such a proposal. Proponents of the proposal believe that the cancellation military pensioners' pensions 2018 is possible only in case of careful consideration of the proposed changes. Some of them offer dismissed military personnel to undergo free retraining. In particular, this idea is supported by a member of the public organization P. Sigal, who rightly believes that today "former" servicemen have a very useful potential that can be used for the welfare of the state. but severance pay will still be paid, because it will allow people to feel more confident leaving the military, for example, at a relatively young age (in such a case, they will not be able to receive a pension, and they need financial support).

Complexity of the question

Most of the people liable for military service are extremely negative about one of the decrees of the president of the country, according to the requirements of which military pension payments should be increased so that people can receive at least 2% more than the inflation rate in the country, considering this level to be incredibly low.

But, increase in pensions for military pensioners in 2018, latest news which is very common, it is planned for 4%, which, according to the authorities, will exceed the inflation rate. In fact, the modern economy today practically opposes "pensions", because the Ministry of Finance does not get tired of repeating that its budget does not have funds to improve the material well-being of members of the pension system.

Official news suggests that the latest news on the indexation of military pensions in 2018 are quite optimistic. The budget for this time period has not yet been fixed anywhere, but it is already known that no one plans to cancel the indexation (especially before the presidential elections), but the exact size of the indicator coefficient is still unknown.

The global economic crisis has become very ordeal for the modern economic system of the country, and its consequences will worry humanity for a very long time. In such conditions, it is definitely not worth counting on an increase in pensioners' retirement allowances, but positive dynamics in the economy has already been outlined, so one can hope that the situation will soon change for the better.

Reserves are not eternal ...

Economists often talk about the fact that the reserves allocated to combat the crisis and its aftermath are already running out because their funds were limited. The previous year significantly reduced the amount of funds in the funds, because about 1 trillion rubles had to be withdrawn from them, and if the authorities did not stop using them, then by the middle of the 18th year they would be empty.

Solve this problem and, accordingly, find the means to increase of pensions for military personnel in 2018 in Russia partial privatization of state corporations will help. For example, it can bring a good profit to the budget, but so far government members are constantly shifting this decision, after all, in accordance with their opinion, this law can create a number of certain difficulties for foreign investors. In addition, it is said that, which was introduced in the country back in 2015, requires improvement, otherwise it will be almost impossible to resolve the issue with a constant shortage of pension funds.

Today in the country there is a significant increase in the number of pensioners who create a serious burden on working people. It is for this reason that the authorities constantly have to allocate huge funds to cover the deficit PF, This has a detrimental effect on the functioning of the economic system and forces members of the government to terminate some financial programs aimed at government support population. The state budget deficit is growing today at an uncontrollable pace, and until the authorities have found ways to solve this problem, and it will definitely not be possible to do without revising the draft pension reform, so the authorities will have to think about this very seriously.

Information for "dessert"

In conclusion, we can say for sure that military pensions from January 1, 2018 in Russia will definitely not be canceled, because in this case the military in the reserve, which are also the mainstay of the country, will be seriously infringed on their own rights. The abolition of pensions can have a very detrimental effect on the authority of the army and undermine it at the domestic level, so it is definitely not worth counting on, which, of course, those liable for military service in the reserve can only be glad about.

The mid-term forecast of the development of events in the country, according to experts, will get worse over time. Pension reform is still going on quite painfully today, so the authorities are constantly trying to smooth it over, postponing it, for example. However, in the future, officials will have to take radical measures, because the crisis has caused serious damage to the economy, which means that measures to eliminate its consequences should also be as serious as possible. An increase in pensions, however, as well as their cancellation, no one has to do. More detailed information on this matter can be obtained a little later, because the news and decisions of the authorities are constantly changing, so do not forget to follow them.

In 2018, the government plans to change the principles for calculating military pensions, which will significantly save state budget funds. At the same time, the authorities are considering options for increasing pension payments to former military personnel. The final decision will be made based on the state of the national budget.

The size of the military pension depends on several key indicators:

1. official salary;
2. military rank;
3. allowance (calculated depending on the length of service).

According to experts, the average pension of military pensioners last year amounted to 23 thousand rubles, which is significantly higher than the average Russian figure.

Taking into account the freeze in the indexation of the military salaries during the crisis, the basic level of pensions remained unchanged. However, the authorities used a reduction factor adjustment that resulted in an actual increase in payments. This instrument made it possible to increase military pensions in 2017 by 4%, which is significantly inferior to the indexation of insurance pensions.

V next year the indexation of insurance and military pensions will be identical, experts predict. A slowdown in inflation will reduce the annual increase in pensions to 4%. In addition, the authorities intend to increase the length of service, which will reduce the cost of military pensions.

In 2018, the authorities plan to launch another reform, which will affect the principles of calculating the military pension. Following the example of civil servants, officials are proposing to increase the standard length of service required to receive a pension. The government intends to increase this figure to 25 years (at the moment the required length of service is 20 years). The reform will be launched immediately after the elections, experts predict.

The main goal of officials is to reduce government spending on early pension payments. Such a measure will reduce budget expenditures by 300-400 billion rubles, the authorities predict, which will have a positive effect on the indicators of the budget deficit.

Experts believe that in 2018 the authorities should adjust the key indicator for calculating pensions for military pensioners - the money allowance of the military. At the same time, representatives of the Ministry of Finance propose to proceed from the real possibilities of the budget.

Indexation of pensions for military pensioners

At a traditional meeting of members of the government, Vladimir Putin recalled that from 2011 to 2017, military pensions were almost doubled and expressed disagreement with the draft budget for 2018, in which the indexation of wages for military personnel is scheduled from January 1, and the indexation of pensions to retired military - from February 1.

The President said that it is necessary to raise these two payments simultaneously from the beginning of the new calendar year, because the issue of the size of the pension benefit concerns more than 2.6 million people.

The author of the bill drew the attention of those present at the meeting to the fact that the allowance for retired military personnel is paid one month in advance. This means that the increased pension will need to be paid as early as December 2017. But, the country's budget allows it to be done, and already before the New Year, military pensioners can receive an increased pension, taking into account the expected size of indexation.

Savings on the military

The indexation of military pay has remained frozen for 5 years. The economic crisis and the growing budget deficit extended the moratorium until 2017. However, next year, experts and officials predict a revival of the domestic economy, which will allow the government to raise military salaries.

Last year, the Ministry of Finance proposed to change the principle of indexing the allowances of the military. Instead of obligatory indexation to the inflation rate, the representatives of the department suggested fixing the future increase in military salaries in the federal budget. This approach will allow taking into account economic realities and adjusting salaries based on budget revenues. However, the State Duma did not support the initiative of the Ministry of Finance. Legislators believe that the state should not skimp on the military.

In addition to economic indicators, the final decision of officials about raising military salaries depends on fluctuations in the oil market. Export of "black gold" provides a significant part of budgetary revenues. The oil market will remain unstable next year, experts say, which is the main threat to the Russian budget.

The optimistic scenario assumes an increase in quotations to $ 60 / bbl. As a result, the government will receive an additional financial resource that will increase spending on the maintenance of the military. In this case, the authorities will be able to resume the annual indexation of military salaries.

The baseline forecast assumes price fluctuations at the level of $ 50-55 per barrel. As a result, the budget deficit will remain at a high level, which will leave open the question of a future increase in military pay.

In the event of a pessimistic scenario, the price of a barrel of oil will fall to $ 40, which will prevent officials from increasing the salaries and pensions of the military. In addition, a sharp decline in budget revenues will force the government to adopt austerity regime.

Pensions for military pensioners in 2018 will be increased by 4%, experts say. The authorities will take advantage of the mechanism to reduce the adjustment coefficient, which will make it possible to index pension payments.

Another initiative of the authorities next year is to increase the length of service to 25 years. This measure will reduce budget expenditures for financing early pensions.

Increasing the pay of the military next year remains open to question. The final decision of the authorities will depend on the economic situation and fluctuations in oil prices.

Cancellation of military pensions

Quite often, information has recently appeared about the possible abolition of pension contributions for the military. The reliability of these rumors has not been confirmed by anything, but due to the fact that this idea finds a considerable number of supporters, these assumptions cannot be ignored.

It is believed that the former military can easily do without these payments, since they have very useful skills that can be used not only in the process of service. For maximum adaptation, it is proposed to organize free training for former military personnel. At the same time, the preservation of the severance pay is guaranteed for the purpose of financial support at the start.

However, there is also other information. They say that the government can take more radical measures, namely, eliminate military pensions altogether. This decision is directly related to the negative impact on the functioning of the army as a whole. However, no one has canceled the indexation of pensions, so this year it will also be carried out.

The latest news on the increase in military pensions in the coming year

According to the bill on the indexation of law enforcement and fire departments, starting in 2013, pension accruals should be increased by 2% annually. This should continue until the financial security reaches 100%. If we consider the calculation for 2018, then the total amount of the allocated funds will be 72.23%. The indicator was approximately the same in the past year. However, from January 1 of this year, the indexation of pensions for the military by 2% will be suspended by a government decision.

According to the Russian Defense Committee, in the coming year, military pensions were supposed to be indexed at a rate of 5%. However, these promises will not be fulfilled in the near foreseeable future.

On a note! In addition to the aforementioned introductions, the Presidential Decree on a gradual increase in the amount of pensions for military personnel who have already retired is also not being implemented. However, our President gave an appropriate order to index pensions for the military who have already left the service due to retirement age.

Yesterday's latest news from the Duma on the increase in military pensions in 2018 testifies to the following. The budgetary funds are quite enough to index pensions for the military from January of this year, and for the former military personnel - next month (February). The Russian President stated that this must be done simultaneously and without delay. V.V. Putin is of the opinion that the indexation should be carried out as it was done last year.

The indexing itself, according to our President, first of all, should concern pensioners who gave their lives to serve the Motherland. This should also apply to persons who are equated with military pensioners. Basically, these are members of the Russian Guard, as well as employees of the internal affairs bodies.

As the President recently announced, in order to effectively implement the idea, it is necessary to carefully review all the funds allocated in this direction, already in the coming year. It is important to do this for the reason that the payment of pensions to military pensioners is made a month earlier. V.V. Putin said that the funds in the budget make it possible to implement this plan.

What to expect in the coming year

Yesterday's latest news from the Duma on the increase in pensions for the military in 2018 reports that this issue has not yet been resolved until the end. All the ideas that have already been made public are just getting ready to become a part of reality. Nevertheless, some changes on the issue of indexing pensions to the military, who have already left their service, are in the government's plans, and their implementation is considered the highest priority. Currently, pensions are paid only to those military men who have given service to the Motherland for at least 20 years, which is provided for by Russian legislation and established at the official level.

Important! However, there are some amendments to the law. For example, additional information states that the military pension can also be paid to those persons who have served in the army for at least 12 years with an additional 25 years of service, and also if they left the service before the onset of 45 for health reasons.

Thus, the law states that the following categories of citizens are entitled to military pensions:

• persons who have served at least 20 calendar years;
• one who has served the Motherland for 12.5 years, and his civilian experience is at least 25 years;
• those who were suspended from service due to health problems before reaching the age of 45;
• all military personnel who have retired and have a length of service.

Interesting! As one of the State Duma officials said, 9 billion rubles, which were found in the possession of the state military leader Zakharchenko, will be transferred to the federal budget fund, since it is fair that the proceeds from crime will go to the good.

Nevertheless, information that soon pensions to military pensioners may be canceled were disseminated in the media. Currently, there are people who are skeptical of this point of view, and there are those who strongly adhere to it. However, the confusion that has arisen around this information is most likely in vain.

The severance pay to military pensioners will invariably be paid, as it is extremely necessary so that people who, due to age or for any other reason, leave their military activities, could feel more confident. This will make them understand that the state protects those who faithfully serve it and devote their lives to this profession.

The severance pay will also be paid to young military men who left the service untimely, since in this case they cannot receive a pension due to the fact that they have not formed it, and material and financial support will be extremely necessary for them.

With regard to pensions for former military personnel, there is currently reliable information on indexation in the coming year. According to State Duma officials, the figure will rise from 72.23% to 73.1%. Translated into money, this will amount to about 25,000 rubles, taking into account the funds that will go to the federal budget. Nevertheless, the government considered the option of increasing the reduction factor this year, however accurate information about this yet.

Thus, the government does not intend to cancel the indexation of pensions for former military personnel, therefore, the increase in charges will occur as it was last year.

According to experts, the average monthly pension allowance in 2016 was about 23,000 rubles. Based on inflation in 2018, the government applied a correction factor for calculating pensions. The adjustments made it possible to increase pension benefits payments in 2018 by 4%. According to experts, in the next 2018, the indexation of the insurance pension allowance will be close to that applied in the current year, and the burden on the budget will change predictably.

When will the pensions of military pensioners be increased?

The question will interest people who will receive their military pensions in 2018. The government claims that funds are available to increase monetary allowances for retired military personnel and persons of equal status. In the comments, it is noted that the pension of the military in January 2018 is higher than that of civilians. The amount has been increased, since servicemen in the service endure great psychological and physical stress, the military is charged with the obligation to constantly be ready to perform the task after taking the oath.

Increase in military pensions in 2018

Required length of service in the army Russian Federation for receiving allowance is determined by the position and characteristics of the service. The main factor is the position, and then the rest are taken into account - such as titles, length of service and others. Pension for military pensioners in 2018 is provided to retirees who have served and are leaving the ranks of the troops of the Russian Federation.

An increase in pensions for military pensioners in 2018 is being actively discussed, both of them:

• upon reaching the age at which the military is eligible for payments;
• for health reasons (disability).

Indexing

The indexation of military pensions will begin in 2018 in accordance with the decisions taken in 2017. For these purposes, the budget has already allocated 2.26 billion rubles. All military pensions in Russia will be increased in 2018, but the new pension rate proposed in the same bill with a 2% increase in allowance is frozen until 2018. The amount will also be indexed for working pensioners. A number of additions and benefits of the Ministry of Defense, federal or regional entities are envisaged.

At a meeting with the government, the President of the Russian Federation demanded to establish interaction with all government agencies and use responsible governments to deliver salaries and retirement benefits on time. The meeting instructed the government to index military pensions. This must be done simultaneously with the pension payments of other Russians - from January 1, 2018.

It is planned to index the increase in pensions, as before, for the defenders of the homeland and persons equated to them, taking into account the size of the salaries of military personnel. The allocation of money is foreseen this year. The law contains additional information about people who will also notice the increase in pensions in 2018 - police officers, guardsmen. According to the president, this year the budget revenues will allow the increase in pensions.

Cancellation of military pension

Nothing has been said about the abolition of military pensions and insurance pensions, and the slowdown in inflation has already been taken into account, since the annual increase (indexation) is planned at the level of up to 4% of the total amount. The government intends to increase the service life, which will lead to a decrease in "retirement" costs. They plan to develop and introduce new standards - they believe that citizens will receive a reform and recalculation of pensions in 2018, which will affect the accrual of funds to pensioners. Following the example of civil servants, this reform will propose to increase the standard length of service required when calculating pensions for the military in 2018

The essence of the potential transformation is to cut government spending. This will reduce costs, reduce the burden on the budget, and avoid budget deficits. According to representatives of the Ministry of Finance, all changes will depend on the indicators and capabilities of the current budget of the country. The increase in military pensions in 2018 will affect citizens of the Russian Federation who served in the ranks of the armed forces and internal affairs bodies, and other citizens who have permission to make such payments in accordance with the law.
