Since 2020, amendments to pension legislation have come into force, which provide additional pension supplements for rural residents. For working in agriculture for more than 30 years, pensioners are given a bonus of 25% of the fixed payment to the insurance pension. The appointment of such an additional payment to the pension was already provided for by law, but due to the difficult economic situation in the country, its payment was not carried out.
The decision to increase pensions for rural pensioners was proposed as part of the pension reform carried out by the Government, and the corresponding additional payments began to be assigned on January 1, 2019 .
The 25% pension supplement for agricultural workers is not assigned to all agricultural workers, but only to those who have been employed for a specified number of years in jobs included in the list of positions and industries provided by the Government. Such additional payment will be made in accordance with the procedure provided for by Law No. 350-FZ.
On increasing pensions for villagers
It's no secret that life and work in the countryside is difficult. Therefore, it is quite natural that in 2020 amendments to the pension legislation came into force, which provide additional pension supplements for rural residents. The decision to increase pensions for rural pensioners was proposed as part of the pension reform carried out by the Government, and the corresponding additional payments will be assigned from January 1, 2020.
What did the head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin tell pensioners?
How much money is allocated for this event? The Pension Fund has allocated 16 billion rubles for the implementation of this decision, said the head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin, adding that, of course, the amount will be indexed in the future.
“The Pension Fund and I have been looking at the entire history of this issue for a year and a half, about 945 - 950 thousand people with extensive experience who live in rural areas will begin to receive this payment. In addition to the thousand rubles that will be received on average by all pensioners in connection with the increase in pension levels by 7% from January 1, these citizens will receive an additional 1,300-1,400 rubles on average,” Topilin told reporters.
The head of the Ministry of Labor explained that citizens affected by this measure will not need to contact the Pension Fund, since all cases have already been prepared.
Pension provision for former agricultural workers
Preferential benefits for villagers are regulated by Article 17 of Law No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions in the Russian Federation”. List of persons who have the right to claim an increase in security :
- tractor drivers working in the agricultural production sector;
- women working as milking machine operators, caring for pigs;
- women engaged in agricultural work and having five children;
- women who grew, harvested and carried out post-harvest processing of tobacco for a full season.
In addition to the list, you need to know general information about pensions in rural areas, types of payments, additional payments, retirement age, etc.
Pension reform 2020
The first provision affecting the law on insurance payments was established in 2013 and recorded in paragraph 14 of Art. 17 of Law No. 400-FZ. It indicated that a certain amount of pension accrual would increase by 25% only for those citizens who worked in agricultural production for at least 30 years. The norm never became effective; it was moved to 1 calendar year.
In 2014, the President asked for a review of the terms of pension payments for rural workers. But the instructions were not carried out as planned. After the adoption of the legislative norm on the increase, two years later, in 2020, the increase in benefits for villagers was stopped until 2020. This is reflected in Federal Law No. 428 of December 19, 2020.
The Russian Pension Fund believes that such an innovation will help save 18.3 billion rubles in 2020, and 19.1 billion rubles in 2020. But with the help of the received reports on the dynamics of growth of the agro-industrial complex, it turned out that success in the rural area has not been achieved, workers’ wages are below the average.
The President of the Russian Federation announced an increase of 25% to the established part of the pension provision for unemployed rural residents who continue to live outside the cities. V.V. During his address to residents, Putin focused on the injustice of pensions for village citizens. To soften the pension reform, the President announced that their benefits would soon be increased.
How pensions will increase
The pension increase for rural pensioners in 2020 will be carried out in two stages:
- From 01/01/2019, pensions for villagers will be indexed by 7.05%, as a result of which citizens will receive an additional increase in pensions of an average of 1,000 rubles. This additional payment will be made only to unemployed rural residents receiving insurance pension payments.
- For working in agriculture for more than 30 years, pensioners will be given a bonus of 25% of the fixed payment to the insurance pension. The appointment of such an additional payment to the pension was already provided for by law, but due to the difficult economic situation in the country, its payment was not carried out.
Who should retire in 2020?
Last year, a gradual increase in the generally established retirement age began, which will end in 2028. As a result, it will be 60 years for women and 65 years for men. At the same time, for those who, according to previous legislation, were supposed to retire in 2020, a special benefit applies - they are assigned a pension six months earlier than the new retirement age. This applies to women born in 1964–1965. and men born 1959–1960 Thanks to this benefit, in the first half of 2020, women aged 55.5 years and men aged 60.5 years retired.
To assign an insurance pension this year, you must have at least 11 years of insurance experience and 18.6 pension coefficient.
Who is entitled to additional payments?
Who will receive a 25% increase in pension? All pensioners who previously worked in agriculture and have worked for at least 30 years will receive an increase in their pension. This rule applies to both women and men.
Although it is immediately worth noting that the required interest will not be added to the entire amount of pension payments, but will only take into account the fixed part of the pension. The Pension Fund will make recalculations based on available documents about the pensioner. Therefore, there is no need to write applications. (https://build-experts.ru/uvelichat-pensiyu-na-25/)
The category of persons entitled to an increase in the fixed payment to the insurance pension are recipients of:
- old age insurance pension;
- insurance pension and disability, paragraph 14 of article 17 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On insurance pensions”.
Conditions for increasing the fixed payment to the insurance pension:
- experience of at least 30 calendar years in agriculture;
- the person must not work and (or) carry out other activities;
- the citizen must live in a rural area. Clause 14 of Article 17 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”.
The amount of increase in the fixed payment to the insurance pension is 25% of the amount of the established fixed payment (clause 14 of Article 17 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”).
The transition period for recalculating the fixed payment is from January 1, 2020, without the pensioner filing an application if the necessary information is available in the payment file.
In this case, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation carries out the specified recalculation no later than September 1, 2020. Clause 5 of Article 10 of the Federal Law of October 3, 2018 No. 350-F 3 “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation on the appointment and payment of pensions.”
The pensioner has the right at any time to submit additional documents necessary for recalculation.

My husband and I have worked in agriculture all our lives - he is a machine operator, an engineer, and I am an accountant. But after retirement they went to live with their children in the city. Are we not entitled to an increase in pension? What kind of nonsense is this again? Why should we live through old age without comforts, we no longer have the strength to heat the stove with wood, and that village no longer exists - only two or three houses remain.answer
- Elena 02/02/2019 at 17:05
What side should an accountant be? It is not included in the list!
answer
I got acquainted with the lists of positions and professions that fall under the pension supplement, and came to the conclusion that many are not on them - collective farm builders, cooks, accountants, weighers, accountants, personnel department workers. This is only at first glance. As if these people worked somewhere else, and not in agriculture.
The distribution by profession in agriculture did not free a person from being involved in mass work, especially there were many of them before the collapse of the Union. Sorting grain, poisoning mice, weeding beets, harvesting watermelons, etc. Often at the main job there were fewer working days than at these, as it were, auxiliary ones. And no one removed the responsibilities of the main position. And in the end, somehow it turns out not comme il faut.

Iraida 01/18/2019 at 00:00
Yes, you are right, it was as if they worked for another king. This is wrong, I myself have worked all my life in accounting and there is nothing. So where do we fall? The chairmen all entered, but the accounting department did not. Yes, indeed, who did the cleaners, accountants, and HR departments work for?
answer
Government Decree No. 1440 of 2020 approved a complete list of positions, professions and specialties. At the end there is clause 4 “Work (activity) on collective farms, at machine and tractor stations, at inter-collective farm enterprises (organizations), on state farms, peasant (farm) farms, artels (agricultural), which was carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation (formerly Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) until January 1, 1992 - regardless of the name of the profession, specialty and position held.”
answer
Our Government must be kicked out for such humiliating decrees and laws! They themselves live in contentment at the expense of the people. The tractor driver is a villager, and the accountant seems to live in Moscow. Move the entire Duma from Rublyovka to a remote village for a year - let them try to live!
answer
There are no shortage of fools and idiots in Russia who issue laws like this. Was it possible to manage in any agricultural enterprise without the profession of a builder? It's like a front without logistics support!
Yes, truly: we are worth who we choose.
answer
Hello. Please tell me, my father worked as a driver on a state farm for 43 years, but at one time he was transferred to the operators of a machine that dried grain and made granules. All my life on the same state farm, but there is no supplement to my pension.
answer
- Nadezhda 03/15/2019 at 23:40
Tatyana, the law states that the bonus is intended according to the list in three cases and paragraph 3 reads:
3. Periods of work on collective farms, state farms, machine and tractor stations, inter-collective farm enterprises, peasant farms, which were carried out before January 1, 1992, without mandatory requirements for the position held.
I worked as an economist at a state farm and received a bonus.
answer
My mother was denied an increase for rural experience, since 14 years of work were confirmed only by witness testimony, and 19 years of work were noted in the work book. Is this legal?
answer
- Natalya 01/10/2019 at 23:39
My mother was also denied this bonus. She worked in Kyrgyzstan (I don’t remember the name of the village) from 1981 to 1991. They were not counted, although they were noted in the work book. They said that these years are not counted, but the article says that periods of labor activity on the territory of the USSR before January 1, 1992 are counted according to the provided list of positions. And how is that? With these 10 years of experience comes out to 31 years.
answer
He has a full 32 years of experience on a state farm, 3 of which were chief of security guards on the same farm. Not on the list, I wonder why? And who guarded socialist property?
answer
My mother worked as an accountant for 41 years, but she was not entitled to a bonus. What kind of nonsense is this? She could have fallen under the “collective farm member”, but the collective farms collapsed in the early 90s. I hope that appropriate changes will be made to the law, and everyone will receive the raises they deserve.
answer
Agronomist, postgraduate study in agrochemistry, work as a research assistant in the agriculture department, crop rotation laboratory, in the fields of the Agricultural Research Institute. Conducted research and introduced the best results of crop production and agrochemistry on state farms. Work experience in rural areas for 50 years. But for some reason, scientific workers were not included in the list of professions eligible to receive a 25% pension supplement. Perhaps the former agricultural research institutes, now renamed (FANO), belong to other organizations whose main activity is agriculture (RF Government Decree No. 1440 of November 29, 2020).
answer
The list of professions is more than strange. It is immediately obvious that it was prepared by people who had never been to the village and had no idea about village labor. Where are the milkmaids, pig farmers, calf sheds, poultry houses, feed distributors, grooms, shepherds, shepherds, etc.?
answer
The law is unfair and needs to be amended. Our mother had a stroke and had to be taken to the city. She worked for more than 30 years. If it weren’t for illness, I would live in the village. They didn't add anything to her. We need to approach such people individually.

Over the course of 30 years of work in agriculture, a person will work in different jobs. This is true everywhere! I went to the President’s website, they send it to the Pension Fund. Vicious circle! But in the published lists there is an item - workers of all specialties. It turns out that the President’s words are ordinary chatter. Or is it our officials who are carrying out the President’s instructions? In short, it turned out to be window dressing!
answer
Swap any word and you won’t be included in the list of professions. This is being done specifically to frame the President, and Medvedev is again on the sidelines, so clean.
answer
The same "song". The electricians serving the collective farm were transferred to Selkhozenergo. The same job, the same collective farm, but we were not included in the list - as if we were serving a foreign collective farm. But an entomologist was included on the list - I think not every collective farmer knows this specialty.
answer
We worked on the collective farm for 40 years. Only 24 years old tractor driver (counted), and 16 years old forager still on the collective farm (not counted - there is no such profession on the list). Is it possible to somehow achieve justice?
answer
- Nikolay 02/08/2019 at 15:05
Zina, I have my own concerns about working at Selkhozenergo. Have you read the list yourself? At the end of the list you can enter so many positions, I cannot send you a screenshot of this list to this discussion site, but search on the Internet. I think he will help you.
answer
She worked at a fruit state farm (LLP CJSC) from August 1981 until September 2012. Because The position of an accountant is not in the list of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1440, but this list has been taken into account since 01/01/1992. Why is it not partially accrued until 01/01/1992 - and this is 10 years and 4 months (since the periods of work before 01/01/1992) 1992, regardless of the name of the profession, specialty and position). Maybe for employees of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation it is pennies, but for me, as a pensioner, it is 460 rubles. - This is money. I ask you to answer me.
answer
Good afternoon My father has more than 30 years of experience in rural areas and now lives in the village. Are an application and a copy of the work record sufficient to apply for an increased pension? They demand orders from him, which contain his positions - supposedly his labor is not enough. Is this true?
answer
- admin 02/04/2019 at 10:31
Good afternoon. The procedure for confirming rural experience is regulated by the “Rules for calculating and confirming insurance experience for establishing insurance pensions”, approved by Government Decree No. 1015 of October 2, 2014. Part 11 of these Rules reads:
The document confirming the periods of work under an employment contract is a work book of the established form (hereinafter referred to as the work book). In the absence of a work book, as well as if the work book contains incorrect and inaccurate information or there are no records about individual periods of work, written employment contracts, drawn up in accordance with the labor legislation in force on the day the relevant legal relationship arose, are accepted to confirm the periods of work. books of collective farmers, certificates issued by employers or relevant state (municipal) bodies, extracts from orders, personal accounts and wage statements.
answer
I worked in the countryside for 50 years, first as an accountant, and then as the chief economist on a farm for 42 years. Who counted everything and ran through the fields, carried out all the standards and prices so that production would work. And in the new times of developed capitalism, the economy remained, they did not have time to plunder it. And it turns out that I didn’t work at all, and what I did is unknown. They sorted grain and potatoes and weeded them. Everyone showed an example of how to work. But the state laughed at us and decided that the pension would be too high.
answer
Hello. Is the supplement monthly or not? Thank you.
answer
- Irina 02/14/2019 at 16:18
Hello, Evgeniy. Yes, the supplement is monthly and is paid throughout the entire period of residence of the pensioner in rural areas.
answer
I have 37 years of rural experience. 11 l. did not count, because worked in a collective farm bakery, baking bread for collective farmers. The collective farm included 4 farms. We got up at 2 o'clock in the morning and went to work, and even the lights on the street were not on, even if we poked out an eye. I know that a baker belongs to the category of workers, and the list of professions says “workers of all types.” This item does not work at all in the Pension Fund.
There is no one to expect help from, everyone is not in the know. Thank you to our state for being so concerned about pensioners.

All news
How can agricultural workers get a raise?
It is very important that the pension increase for rural pensioners in 2019 will be carried out without an application, if the Pension Fund has all the necessary data on the presence of more than 30 years of experience in agriculture and the actual residence of the pensioner in a rural area. This means that you do not need to contact the Pension Fund to receive the supplement - the pension amount will be increased automatically.
Conclusion: from January 1, 2020, the increase in pension for pensioners living in villages with at least 30 years of experience will be about 2,400 rubles. This measure will affect those who have worked in agriculture for 30 years and those who are not currently working and live in rural areas.
25 percent bonus for rural pensioners
Receiving a 25 percent bonus for work in a village is possible only if an elderly person receives an old-age benefit and does not work anywhere else, or if he receives a disability benefit. Also, a number of conditions must be met:
- At the time of reaching the appropriate age, a villager must have at least thirty years of work experience. Positions for which additional payments are assigned are indicated in a special list established by the government of the Russian Federation. When calculating the service life, only the period of official employment, during which insurance contributions were transferred to the Pension Fund, is taken into account.
- At the time the bonus is assigned, the citizen, in addition to entering a well-deserved retirement, should not carry out any of the types of activities in which insurance contributions are transferred to the Pension Fund.
- A pensioner must live in a village.
Important! An elderly person who has moved to a permanent place of residence outside the village cannot qualify for additional benefits.
How to submit missing documents
What to do if the Pension Fund does not have documents confirming the right to receive an increase in pension?
A citizen has the right to provide additional documents at any time. But the date of provision of these documents will be taken into account:
- When applying from January 1 to December 31, 2020, a pension supplement for work in rural areas will be assigned from January 1, 2019.
- If the necessary documents are provided in 2020 and later, then the additional payment will be assigned only from the next month after the date of application (clause 2, part 1, article 23 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013). For example, if a pensioner submits documents in March 2020, then the increased pension will be assigned to him only from April 1, 2020.
What is the increase in pension?
In accordance with current legislation, pensions of unemployed Russians are growing above inflation. At the end of last year, inflation was 3%, and insurance pensions for non-working citizens of the Russian Federation were increased by 6.6% from January 1, 2020. That is, 2 times higher than the level of consumer price growth. As a result, the average old-age insurance pension for non-working pensioners increased from 15.4 to 16.4 thousand rubles. But these are average numbers. The increase for each pensioner is individual and depends on the size of his pension.
In the coming years, insurance pensions will continue to increase beyond inflation. From January 1, 2021, they will be indexed by 6.3%, from January 1, 2022 - by 5.9%, from January 1, 2023 - by 5.6%, from January 1, 2024 - by 5 ,5%.
State security pensions, including social ones, are indexed in April. This year they were increased by 6.1%, taking into account the growth rate of the cost of living of a pensioner in the Russian Federation over the past year. As a result, the average social pension increased from 9.7 to 10.3 thousand rubles. In total, about 4 million people receive such pensions in our country.
At the same time, the minimum level of pension provision for non-working Russians is always not lower than the subsistence level of a pensioner in the region of residence. If the amount of the pension, together with other payments due to a non-working pensioner, is below the subsistence level, a social supplement is established for him.
Summary
I note, as it is said, “who exactly now lives in rural areas.” It is not entirely fair if a person worked in agriculture all his life, but in old age went to live with his children in the city. Won't he be morally offended?
Note: list of professions, positions in rural areas who are entitled to a 25% increase in the fixed payment to the insurance pension.
