The prestige of working in internal affairs bodies is constantly growing. The state and government are doing a lot to attract the most promising personnel, including young people, to the service. To improve the efficiency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a number of reforms have been carried out over the past few years. Employees' salaries are regularly increased, and the system of benefits and pensions is being purposefully improved.
Reforms of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will continue in 2020. The latest news about the next wave of changes is updated constantly. Based on existing information, it is quite possible to make predictions about what innovations await employees and retirees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2019.
Retirement of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Typically, people retire at the age of 55 (for women) and 60 years (for men). There are people who are granted a pension before reaching retirement age. These include military pensioners, medical workers, teachers, employees of hazardous industries, etc. In order to receive a pension, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must have at least 20 years of experience. Moreover, depending on the situation, not only a Ministry of Internal Affairs pension may be assigned for length of service, but also for disability and loss of a breadwinner.
To grant a pension, pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must have at least 20 years of experience in the police or another structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and be at least 45 years old. If by this age there is no 20 years of experience, then the employee retains the right to early retirement if the following conditions are met: the total length of service of a police officer is twenty-five years, of which half of the term is spent working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
If this condition is not met, the length of service is no more than 15-20 years, then social benefits are assigned.
What to do if there is a delay
If the delay occurs for one of the reasons listed, you can begin to act. But don't panic ahead of schedule. If there are technical problems or an error in the work of Russian social services, the money may arrive the very next day. Therefore, to begin with, you should wait at least 5-7 days. If after this the money has not been credited to your bank card, follow the instructions:
- Contact the bank branch and get a certificate stating that the pension was not credited on a certain day. Bank employees are required to provide a certified account statement, which shows that there were no pension receipts in the current period.
- With the collected evidence from the bank, go to the Pension Fund branch.
The submitted documents will be reviewed by Pension Fund employees. After an investigation, you will be advised why payments were delayed. In addition, employees will indicate a new date for when the pension will arrive. In most cases, this is enough, the money arrives within the agreed period and the problem is eliminated.
Retirement of police officers
A police officer has the right to submit documents for a pension three months before the expected date of dismissal. To do this, he must contact the personnel department at the place of work and confirm his length of service.
If a police officer has enough experience to apply for a pension, but is under 45 years of age, he has the right to undergo a military commission to obtain a conclusion on his suitability for further service. At this stage, the employee may be declared unfit and their disability may be confirmed.
Documents for obtaining police pensions
The following documents must be submitted to the HR department:
- Statement from an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. Pensions are assigned on the basis of this document.
- Cash certificate.
- If necessary, an extract from the ITU is submitted.
- Data on the family composition of the future pensioner must be submitted.
- A copy of the document confirming the right to benefits.
This is not the entire list of required papers. You can find out in more detail which documents need to be provided and in what form in Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 418 dated May 27, 2005.
After opening a pension case, registration is carried out. HR department employees make an entry in the accounting book and send documents for verification. The case is certified by the authorized representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then a notice of pension assignment is sent to the bank.
How to check the receipt of pension on the card
To find out whether the pension has arrived on your plastic card or not, use one of 3 options:
- ATM. Insert the card into the receiver and select from the menu. The amount available in the account is visible on the screen or on a printed receipt. The balance request operation may be subject to a fee if carried out at ATMs of third-party banks. This should be clarified in advance so as not to lose money.
- SMS service. To provide timely information about the receipt of funds into your account, you can enable SMS notifications. In this case, the bank will send messages about all deposits. Some banks have a paid service, others do not. In particular, Sberbank pension cards receive SMS messages about pension crediting for free for the first 2 months of service. Then the pensioner will be deducted 30 rubles per month.
- In your personal account in Internet banking. In the account information section you can find information about the amount of funds in the account. This option may turn out to be the most economical, because most Russian banks provide free access to a mobile application and online banking.
Through a personal bank account, a pensioner can pay for utilities, transfer money, top up a mobile phone account, or receive transfers from children and loved ones. In addition, any pension card can be connected to a loyalty program and receive bonuses or cashback on the card.

Calculation of pensions for police officers in the Russian Federation
The Ministry of Internal Affairs pension is calculated depending on the length of service and status of the recipient. When calculating the amount of allowance, rewards and merits are not taken into account.
After 20 years of service, employees have the right to receive a pension in the amount of half of their salary. With more than 20 years of service, the pension will be assigned at the rate of 3% of the amount of allowance for each year of work in the police. The maximum amount of interest upon reaching more than 20 years of experience can be 85%, but no more.
If the length of service is more than 25 years, then the calculation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs pension will be slightly different. The employee receives an amount equal to half the salary. For each subsequent year of work in the authorities, 1% of the amount of allowance is accrued.
The minimum pension of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot be less than half the employee’s salary. In this case, the indexation of the amount of payments must be taken into account.
For disabled people, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is constantly increasing pensions. The total amount depends on the disability group assigned to the citizen who served in the police. At the same time, the legislation takes into account military injuries and the presence of injuries received while working in the authorities.
Raising employee salaries
As for the indexation of the financial compensation of police officers, no global increase in salaries in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is expected in 2020.
In accordance with the country's budget for the next three years, it is planned only to adjust the allowances of representatives of law enforcement agencies and the military, taking into account projected inflation. About 84 billion rubles have been allocated in the budget for these purposes for 2020. The time for indexation this year has been shifted to October 1, although in 2018 salaries were indexed starting on January 1.
Pensions for disabled people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
If during his service a police officer was injured, as a result of which he was assigned a disability, then the pension is calculated somewhat differently and depends on the assigned work ability group.
Also, a disability pension can be awarded to dismissed employees for whom no more than three months have passed since their dismissal. However, in order to be assigned a pension from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, disability must be obtained in the following cases:
- Injured.
- Shell shock.
- Injuries during service.
- Diseases acquired while working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
If documents are submitted on time, the employee is assigned not a simple pension, but disability benefits.
Types of support for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
According to Federal Law No. 4468-1, police officers are entitled to three types of pensions:
- for loss of a breadwinner;
- disability;
- length of service
The same law contains the rules according to which payments to police officers are calculated.
By length of service
Law No. 4468-1 (Article 13) contains a list of circumstances that give a police officer the right to receive benefits for his length of service.
The appointment is made in the following cases:
- existing length of service;
- being 45 years old, having the required total work experience and duration of service in the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In the second case, the reasons why the employee was dismissed from the authorities are taken into account:
- age;
- reorganization, elimination of positions, changes in the number of staff, its composition, structure;
- disease.
The length of service required to enter a well-deserved retirement includes the period of study at a university and time of work in the following law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation:
- Armed forces;
- Federal Penitentiary Service;
- Russian Guard;
- State Fire Service;
- Federal service that controls drug trafficking.
Government Decree of the Russian Federation No. 941 of September 22, 1993 will help you correctly calculate length of service.
For disability
The calculation of the amount of payments is made differently if the police officer was injured, as a result of which he became disabled. In this case, the amount of payments will depend on the disability group. Such payments can be assigned to employees within 3 months after dismissal.
To calculate payments from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, disability, if it occurs later than 3 months after dismissal, must be received during service due to:
- mutilation;
- contusions;
- injuries;
- diseases.
Persons who are entitled to receive disability benefits:
- 80-year-old pensioners;
- if they have dependent disabled close relatives;
- WWII participants receiving support from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In case of loss of a breadwinner
Similar payments are provided to the family of a police officer killed in service.
After death or within 3 months after dismissal, family members have the right to apply for support for the loss of a breadwinner.
Sometimes the appointment of such payments is possible upon dismissal from the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs due to injury, wounds or illness received during service.
Obtaining such security is possible in the event of death or destruction after a 3-month period after dismissal. In this case, the cause of death must be an injury or illness received during service.
Formula for calculating future pension for a police officer
To find out the size of your pension, you can use the following formula:
RK x (SDD x PC), where SDD is the amount of pay that an employee receives in the police, PC is a reduction factor for pay, RK is the calculated coefficient.
It is easy to determine the RK. This can be done in one of the following ways:
- if the length of service for calculating a pension is 20 years, then RK = 50%;
- if the service life is more than 20 years, then 3% is accrued for each subsequent year, with a maximum RK = 85%.
Filing a complaint and resolving the problem through court
If you do not receive a response from the Pension Fund, you can file a complaint:
- to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation;
- to a banking institution;
- or the prosecutor's office.
Each of the authorities has a period of 1 month to consider the problem. The complaint can be submitted in free form, but it must contain:
- the name of the organization to which you are filing a complaint;
- personal data of the pensioner: full name, address, telephone number;
- essence of the complaint: detailed description of the situation;
- requirements for the organization, while references to current legislation are required;
- date of filling out the claim;
- a list of documents that are attached to the complaint;
- signature.
If filing a complaint does not bring results, you can go to court. When writing a claim, it is better to use the services of lawyers. But you can also fill out a lawsuit yourself using samples from the Internet.
Supplements to future police pensions
Future bonuses depend on status, age, marital status and pension amount. When receiving benefits for long service, the following types of allowances are included in the pension:
- if the pensioner’s age is 80 years, then he is given a bonus of 100%;
- if a pensioner’s family has dependents who are not employed, the pensioner will receive 32% for each person; if there are three or more dependents, the increase in pension is 100%.
When calculating pension benefits, the possibility of receiving benefits and other allowances is taken into account.
Benefits for pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
The final pension amount will be based on benefits. They can be divided into the following types: basic, tax, transport, medical.
All citizens retiring receive benefits, but their size and quantity depend on the department that will pay the pension. Priority positions are occupied by military personnel and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Upon retirement, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are entitled to the following basic benefits:
- Getting housing. A pensioner who does not have his own home has the right to receive an apartment.
- Tax benefits provided at the regional level.
- Benefits for medical care, treatment, provision of medicines.
- Travel benefits.
The state also provides benefits for close relatives of Ministry of Internal Affairs pensioners.
Among all the benefits provided, pensioners most often use housing and those that are exempt from paying taxes. But it is worth knowing that pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs do not receive them for utility payments.
To apply for benefits, you must provide the following package of documents to the relevant authority:
- Pensioner's passport.
- A document confirming that the citizen is a pensioner.
- TIN.
- Documents for real estate, vehicle, land and other evidence confirming ownership.
After submitting these documents, the tax authority will recalculate and will not charge taxes to the pensioner in the future.
Medicine for pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
If a former employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation seeks medical help, then it should be provided to him free of charge, but only if the medical institution belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs system. In other cases, the patient pays all treatment costs independently.
Once a year, a pensioner has the right to receive a free trip to a sanatorium, which is assigned to the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Travel to the holiday destination and back is paid.
Some family members can also hope for benefits, namely, a pensioner can buy a trip for the family for half its cost.
Former employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs occupy a priority position in the provision of additional social services. However, benefits are not provided to everyone. You can clarify what exactly is required in a particular case by contacting the specialists who assign the pension (HR department at the place of work).
