If a person, after reaching retirement age and receiving a pension, continues to work, this does not deprive him of the right to the pension that is due to him and does not serve as a basis for reducing its size. At the same time, a working pensioner has the right to increase it at the end of each calendar year on the basis of deductions received during this time on the pension account from his employer.
It is necessary
- - passport;
- - certificate of compulsory pension insurance;
- - a copy of the work book, certified by the employer, or other documents confirming work experience;
- - photographs (not in all cases).
Instructions
Step 1
After reaching the retirement age (60 years for men and 55 for women; the age range of beneficiaries may be lower, but in general it is very likely that the retirement age will increase to 65 and 60 years, respectively) to the branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of residence, stay or actual residence. If you live abroad, send copies of the necessary documents by mail to the central office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. According to the law, you have the right to apply for the calculation of an old-age retirement pension both immediately after the onset of retirement age, and later - at any time when you deem it necessary.
Step 2
Submit your passport, certificate of compulsory pension insurance and all available documentary evidence of work experience to the office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation: the original work record book or a copy certified by the employer, certificates of average earnings before 2002 (if applicable to your case) and, if necessary, other papers on the requirement of the pension fund.
Step 3
Contact the department of social protection of the population of your area with a passport and papers from the Pension Fund, if the legislation of the region where you are registered provides for the issuance of social cards for pensioners. Depending on the region, a photo may also be required, although in a number of subjects of the Russian Federation, in particular in Moscow, you will be photographed directly at the office. A social card usually gives you free public transport and discounts at a number of shops, and also serves as a confirmation of a number of other benefits you are entitled to.
Step 4
Choose a convenient way to receive your pension: by mail (you have the right to choose whether to come for it yourself or instruct the postman to bring it to your home), to a bank account or card of Sberbank and a number of other credit organizations. If necessary, open a pension card or account and provide the details to the office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.
Step 5
Visit the branch of the Pension Fund, if after the next calendar year in which you continued to work after retirement, you have not increased it. You do not have to submit any applications for the recalculation of the pension, the Pension Fund is obliged to recalculate it on the basis of the information received from your employer. But if for some reason he did not do this, it will never be superfluous to remind him of himself.
