Pension for prosecutors in 2020: latest news

Conditions for receiving a pension

State prosecutors may retire under the following conditions:

1. Retirement age is approaching. The prosecutor's retirement age is 45 years old, while the total length of service in the public prosecution service must exceed 12.5 years.
2. Retirement based on length of service. In the prosecutor's office, length of service is considered to be 20 years of continuous experience.
3. Upon dismissal due to deteriorating health. In this case, the pensioner receives disability payments until he reaches retirement age. From this moment on, the disability pension automatically changes to a labor pension, but its amount should not be less than the payments received for disability.
4. The reason for receiving severance pay may be resignation or layoffs in connection with the reform. Pre-retirees who have no more than five years left before their legal leave can apply for early retirement. To do this, you need to write an application to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation with an explanation that there are no new official appointments and it is impossible to obtain a position in connection with the reform (or for other objective reasons).
5. Prosecutors with twenty years of work experience who continue to work can apply for a pension bonus of 50% of their salary while maintaining their job.
6. The survivor's pension is paid to the families and dependents of the prosecutor in the event of his death. Based on Federal Law No. 173 of December 17, 2001, paragraph 31 on the loss of a pensioner’s breadwinner, all persons dependent on the deceased prosecutor receive 30% of the amount of his pension. Minor dependents will receive a survivor's pension until they reach adulthood. Persons of retirement age and disabled people receive payments for life.

Pension amount

The calculation of the prosecutor's pension in 2020 is carried out according to the formula: the employee's salary, summed up with all allowances, is multiplied by the coefficient set for representatives of prosecutorial positions (80%). Employees of the prosecutor's office are entitled to an official bonus and a bonus for length of service.

In order to independently calculate the size of your future pension, it is not enough to know the position and salary of a prosecutor’s office employee. In this matter, the reason for retirement, the total length of service in the prosecutorial system and in prosecutorial positions in particular are of great importance.

In addition to the job coefficient, former prosecutorial employees are entitled to a bonus for continuous work experience.

In addition, prosecutors receive bonuses for various achievements:

• defense of an academic degree - an increase of 5% of the salary (60,000 * 5% = 3,000 rubles);

Features of pensions for military prosecutors

Until 2020, military prosecutors left their posts for a well-deserved rest upon reaching retirement age as military pensioners. They were entitled to all the benefits and allowances due to military personnel.

It should be noted that the military pension is significantly lower than the prosecutor's pension!

In 2020, in connection with the state reorganization, military prosecutors and investigators were included in the structure of the Prosecutor General's Office and the Investigative Committee; this event equated the rights of military prosecutors and investigators with the rights of their civilian colleagues. An important difference in calculating the pension of a military prosecutor is the fact that his salary depends on promotion of rank and military merit.

Military leadership can retire based on length of service, having at least 20 years of experience behind them. The pension amount will be calculated as follows: 54% of salary + 3% for each year exceeding twenty years.

The regional coefficient is added to the standard pension calculation formula if the service took place in the northern regions of the country. In military units with special conditions of service, 3 years of service are counted as 4.

For those disabled during military operations, social benefits are provided. The payment coefficient depends on the disability group confirmed by the medical commission:

1. The first is 300% of the social pension.
2. The second is 250%. from social pension.
3. Third - 175% of the social pension.

Additional payments and benefits for retired prosecutors

Retired prosecutors can go to a sanatorium for free, reimburse the cost of medicine and receive free medical care

Prosecutors who have retired due to length of service are entitled to the following benefits:

1. Free provision of medical services in any municipal medical institution; all medical expenses are paid from the federal budget.
2. The right to receive a voucher to a sanatorium. The voucher is issued on the basis of a commission from the social insurance fund based on the health status of the applicant.
3. The costs of purchasing medicines recognized as vital can be fully reimbursed from the federal budget.

Persons who retired with the rank of labor veteran pay only 50% of utility bills for housing in their property. They can also take advantage of free dental treatment and prosthetics at a state dental clinic. Labor veterans have first priority when entering a nursing home.

Since 2020, on the basis of Federal Law No. 385 of December 29, 2015, working pensioners can receive pensions and wages, but indexation of monthly pension payments is not carried out for them.

The same law applies to retired prosecutors. After the dismissal of a pensioner, the amount of pension payments is recalculated within three months, taking into account all previously missed indexations.

The pensioner should receive an increased pension the very next month after dismissal, but if by this time the pension fund employees do not have time to recalculate, the difference will be paid later, not exceeding six months of waiting.

For working pensioners, the pension is not indexed

Example. Petr Petrov quit his job in January and immediately reported this to the pension fund.

From February of the same year, Petrov should receive a pension, taking into account all previously missed indexations, but the pension fund employees did not have time to carry out the necessary calculations. In February and March, the pensioner received the same amount of pension payments as during his working life.

In April, Peter receives a pension, taking into account the recalculation made, and an additional payment in the amount of the difference between the due pension amount, taking into account all indexations for February and March, and actually received.

News reports that regarding the pension of prosecutors in 2020, there have been changes regarding the conditions for the appointment of this type of security. Payments to prosecutors have not been adjusted for several years in a row.

How pensions for prosecutors have changed in 2020

The main innovations relating to the provision of prosecutors who have retired are related to the conditions for the assignment of these benefits. The increase affected length of service.

Adjustments occurred in different structures. An employee of the prosecutor's office will be able to retire no earlier than after 25 years of continuous service. The age limit is defined as 45 years.

A citizen has the right to receive pension payments after 12.5 years of service in the prosecutor's office.

New indexation of prosecutors' pensions

In 2020, after indexation, the values ​​increased by approximately 9,000 rubles.

Indexation news for working prosecutors

Federal Law No. 385 of 2020 “On the suspension of the action...” established a moratorium on increasing pension payments for those persons who have retired and continue to work. These citizens do not lose the right to benefits, and the amount does not increase every year.

This rule also applies to prosecutors. A citizen will be able to receive an increased pension after the employment relationship is terminated. The recalculation procedure is carried out within 3 months from the date of dismissal.

For example, Ivanov resigned from the prosecutor’s office in January 2020 and immediately sent information about this to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Starting from February, Ivanov should receive payments taking into account all indexations carried out. However, employees of the pension authority did not have time to make all the necessary calculations by this time.

As a result, in February and March Ivanov received payments in the same amount. In April, he received an increase in benefits. In addition, the amounts not received in the previous 2 months are listed.

News about the bill on pensions for prosecutors

Currently, the State Duma is considering a draft law that provides for an increase in pension payments for employees of the prosecutor's office. For this reason, media representatives developed a global problem, reporting that it is planned to increase the amount of support for such citizens several times.

In reality the situation is different. The journalists' conclusions have no justification. In fact, the Government of the country proposed to increase the amount of security for retired prosecutors by 12% in 2020.

In practice, you can find such a payment amount, since the amount depends on the length of service and the amount of salary during the work activity.

Currently, this draft law has not yet been approved.

Increasing social benefits

Will there be a pension supplement in October 2020? Last year, the budget for future periods was already approved. Accordingly, indexation in October is not included in this budget. Indexation already took place on January 1 of this year.

Local authorities are also taking various measures to improve the condition of residents, providing subsidies and increasing one-time various payments. The subsidy will directly depend on the specific region and the country’s budget.

It is worth noting that in some regions there are no plans for increases due to poor budget conditions.

It is planned to increase the provision again in October. This undoubtedly pleased citizens of retirement age. In the presence of inflation of 4.1%, it is planned to also allocate a subsidy of 5,000 rubles, but only time will tell what will happen in reality.

New pension size for prosecutors

Pensions for prosecutors in 2020 are calculated using the formula below.

• P – amount of pension payment;
• O – salary size;
• N – benefits increases;
• K is the coefficient on the basis of which the amount of the pension is determined.

In 2020, this coefficient of 80% is applied. Allowances for this category of citizens are associated with length of service.

The table shows the current coefficients for calculating the bonus for the position of prosecutors.

In order to independently calculate the amount of pension payments in 2020, it is not enough to have information about what position the citizen held and what his salary was. It is also necessary to take into account the reason why retirement took place and the overall length of service.

Example of calculating pension points

For working citizens the following formula applies:

1. Individual coefficient: IPC = IPC until 2020 + IPC
2. Amount of insurance pension: SP = IPK × SPK, where: SPK – point value on the day of calculation
3. Total amount: FV + SP, where: FV - fixed payment (established by law)

The man worked his whole life in one position. Receives a pension of 10,030 rubles. The fixed part is 3935 rubles, the insurance part is 6095. The IPC is calculated as 6095/64.10=95. The second indicator is the value of the pension point.
