All citizens of the Republic of Belarus are recipients of pensions. In addition, citizens who live permanently in the country have the right to receive pension payments. In 2017, 2 types of pensions were established at the state level: social and labor, including military.
In order to receive them, certain conditions must be met:
Every year, the government of the country indexes pension payments. Indexation applies to all social payments, including pension allowances for military personnel.
The country has a program on the basis of which citizens of the country can accumulate additional funds. These services are optional.
These opportunities are provided by insurance companies. If a citizen chooses any insurance company for savings, then his employer must make contributions to this fund for him.
1. Old age
The retirement age of citizens of Belarus has been preserved since Soviet times and has not changed since then: men - 60, women - 55.
In some cases, early exit is possible - in areas of activity with harmful conditions, as well as citizens employed in the agricultural, textile, and transport industries.
2. Loss of a breadwinner
This type of pension is paid to disabled and underage dependents who have lost their breadwinner.
3. By disability
To receive payments, persons with disabilities must have work experience by the time the disability group is established. For example, citizens under 23 need 1 year of experience, those aged 23-26 need 3 years, etc.
4. Seniority
There is a list of professions that are covered by the superannuation pension law. The country's pension fund uses it when assigning pensions.
5. For services to the state
The accrual of pensions to citizens awarded state orders and titles is the responsibility of the government.
The minimum old-age pension in Belarus is focused on the level of the consumer basket and is 25% of its average. The retirement pension is calculated at a rate of 55% of the average monthly earnings in the country.
Its size is affected by the amount of earnings, the presence of experience in excess of the prescribed norm, the scope of the employee's professional activity.
The scope of pensions for military personnel is regulated by state laws. The accrual of allowances to the military takes place according to the same parameters that are provided for civilians: by length of service, old age, loss of a breadwinner, disability.
The amount of the minimum allowances for the military is 1,474 thousand Belarusian rubles, in terms of Russian money - 4,422 rubles. The old-age pension is calculated by subtracting approximately 20% of the average salary and adding 25% of the country's consumer basket.
In December 2014, the President issued a decree to increase the pension allowance of military personnel. It entered into force on January 1, 2015. The allowances of the military were indexed in November and December 2015 by 12.9% of the average living wage for the civilian population - 1,567,810 BR (4,703 Russian rubles). As a result, the amount of indexation amounted to 202,247 BR (606.7 rubles).
From January 1, 2016, a new base salary of 1,320,000 BR (3,960 rubles) was established in Belarus.
Based on this figure, the salaries of military personnel are determined by rank and position. Based on this, the pensions that military pensioners have are subject to recalculation.
For the first half of 2016, the base part increased in March, but no indexation took place.
The prospect of increasing the pension allowance of military personnel in Belarus will depend in the future on the state of the economy during 2017, on the level of the subsistence minimum established for each category of the population.

Ivan Nikolaevich Snitko is 61 years old. Last year, the man decided to draw up a pension. But it turned out that he could not claim a full-fledged labor pension. Service in the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not included in the insurance work experience, which just affects the size of the pension.
- I went to serve in the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 1973, just came from the army and began to work there, Ivan Nikolayevich told Onliner.by. - He served as a district police officer, inspector and even an investigator. Eliminated the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, was on special operations in Baku. We were also forced to go there. It was there for three days. Worked until 1992. Then he left, my father and mother were disabled, I had to inspect them.
- As a result, I got 30 and a half years of work experience. That is, I actually have the right to a pension from the state,- explains the man. - But, when I began to collect documents and draw up, it turned out that these 19-something years of mine are not included in the insurance experience.
As a result, it turned out that Ivan Nikolayevich had an insurance record of about 10 years, which is less than necessary. According to the law, for Belarusians who applied for a pension in 2015, the minimum insurance period is at least 15 years.
- And this means that only a social old-age pension shines for me. Not the usual 2.8 million, but 800 thousand a month,- says Ivan Nikolaevich. - When I found out that these 19 years are not included in the length of service for calculating a pension, I was shocked. I don’t understand how and on the basis of what my experience was not included in the insurance? It turns out that I worked out the work, I gave the state a debt, but in the end nothing shines for me? The pension is the same as those drunkards who have worked for a year or two in their life ... Of course, this is insulting and unfair.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection knows the situation of Ivan Nikolayevich. But they say it's the law.
- The conditions for assigning a labor pension in the general pension system are the same for all citizens: both for civilians and for former military personnel,- Larisa Yashkova, Deputy Head of the Main Department of Pensions of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, explained to Onliner.by. - As for the insurance period, it is formed by periods of work with the payment of mandatory insurance contributions to the pension fund. Accordingly, this length of service cannot include periods of other activities when contributions were not paid: the time of military service, service in the internal affairs bodies, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and other law enforcement agencies, caring for a child, receiving unemployment benefits, training, etc. (note that if you have the required insurance period and the right to a labor pension, the indicated periods of activity “do not disappear”: they are included in the total experience).
The requirement for a minimum period of insurance service for the appointment of an old-age labor pension (at least 5 years) appeared in the legislation back in 2006 and is justified by the fact that it is from the receipts of insurance premiums that the payment of current labor pensions is ensured.
According to the current legislation, in 2016 the required insurance period is 15 years 6 months, and starting from January 1, 2017, it will increase annually by 6 months up to 20 years by 2025. That is, for those who will retire in 2018, it will be 16 years 6 months, in 2019 - 17 years and so on.
Unfortunately, Ivan Nikolaevich has a documented insurance experience of almost 10 years. And the law does not allow him to appoint a labor pension. At the same time, upon reaching the age of 65, he will acquire the right to a social pension.
Recall that this year Belarus decided to increase the retirement age to 63 for men and 58 for women. It will be increased in stages: starting from 2017, every calendar year for 6 months.
Every year this period will increase until it reaches 15 years by 2025.
Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus "in the base: certificate No. ... dated .... I want to draw a moderator's attention to this message because: A notification is being sent...
Attention
Dmitry Belarus, Minsk #8 on February 26, 2008, 17:01 by the hard -to -use of ministry, Belarus, 125.04.2006 N 104 Instruction, the procedure for calculating the experience of work and paying for the seniority of the years from among the civilian personnel of the internal affairs and internal troops of the Ministry of Belarus of Belarus15.
Info
The work experience is confirmed by the data in the work book, and in its absence, in the manner prescribed for confirming the work experience when assigning pensions. And where is it written that they do not fill out work books.
The assignment of this type of pension occurs in a strictly defined manner, which differs significantly from the procedure for obtaining other forms of pensions.
However, there are quite serious reasons that can prevent this.
And only compliance with all requirements and taking into account the peculiarities can guarantee that the application for a pension will be approved by the pension fund.
Important
If an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or a serviceman has experience in different organizations, in order to apply for a mixed service pension, he must meet the following criteria:
The time of study at a higher educational institution can be counted in the length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the event that a military rank was received in the process of training.
Their work experience in the above positions - flight and flight test personnel, employees who carry out air traffic control and have a dispatcher's certificate, engineering and technical staff, flight attendants, medical and pedagogical workers of general education schools, vocational schools, technical schools and colleges, as well as artists and others employees of theatrical and entertainment institutions and groups - is called length of service.
The total duration of the work of the named employees in the above positions is their seniority.
However, their work in the positions listed above can also be called seniority for the appointment and payment of a pension for their seniority.
Seniority is also called the military service of citizens in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus, service in the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Security Committee.
In this case, the total length of service is taken into account, which must be at least 25 years.
These years include the term of military service, which cannot be less than twelve years and six months.
For female military personnel, the length of service includes the period of their being on leave for childcare and childbirth, if they were provided during the period of military service.
The length of service of military personnel is not included in their period of study at a military school.
The accrual of a mixed service pension is carried out in accordance with Federal Law No. 4468-1.
A prerequisite for the appointment of a mixed pension is reaching the age of 45 years. The age limit may be reduced in the event that a soldier is forced to leave the service due to illness, reduction or reorganization.
It can be claimed by: employees of penitentiary institutions;
Required Documents Documents for mixed service retirement:
After submitting a package of documents, verification of the provided data begins. Based on its results, a decision is made on the appointment of one or another type of pension provision.
This issue is regulated by:
The structure of the ministry employs a large number of people who can be divided into two unequal parts:
They are subject to the same provisions of pension law as most citizens.
This also applies to retirement age.
Thus, the length of service of military personnel, persons in command and rank and file of the internal affairs bodies and the State Security Committee is the total duration (in years, months, days) of military and other service in the above bodies plus individual periods of service counted on the appropriate preferential terms provided for legislation. In accordance with Art. 18 of the Law of the Republic of Belarus "On pensions for military personnel, persons in command and rank and file of internal affairs bodies" the procedure for calculating length of service for assigning pensions for seniority to officers, warrant officers, midshipmen and military personnel serving under a contract, persons in command and rank and file of internal affairs bodies determined by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus dated July 5, 1993
National Register of Legal Acts of the Republic of Belarus, 2003, N 127, 2/993). At the same time, all types of monetary allowances for military personnel, persons in command and rank and file are taken into account on a par with the wages of workers in the republic.
“On Improving Pensions”, which raised the retirement age for all Belarusians by three years. But people in uniform will continue to retire much earlier than most workers.Men - at 63 years old, women - at 58 years old
A presidential decree determined that from January 1, 2017, the retirement age will increase by 6 months annually until it reaches 63 for men and 58 for women. This will take six years.
That is, in 2017, men who have reached the age of 60.5 and women at the age of 55.5 will retire. In 2018 - 61 and 56 years, respectively, in 2019 - 61.5 and 56.5, in 2020 - 62 and 57, in 2021 - 62.5 and 57.5, in 2022 - 63 and 58 years old.
Certain benefits on retirement age have been preserved. So, like Alexander Lukashenko, communicating on April 7 with representatives of the labor collective of the Minsk Automobile Plant, there was a benefit for workers in hazardous industries. The retirement age for such workers has also been raised by three years, but the gap has remained.
“We will say “Yes!”
The gap between the retirement age of ordinary workers and military personnel (as well as categories equated to them) has also been preserved.
The decree notes that the age limit for military service (service in paramilitary organizations) of military personnel (employees) in military (special) ranks up to and including lieutenant colonel is increased annually from January 1 by 6 months, but not more than 3 years in total.
This increase also applies to employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the KGB and the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
As noted in a comment for website Head of Information and Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Konstantin Shalkevich According to the decree, the retirement age for internal affairs officers who previously had the right to retire at 45 years will gradually increase to 48 years.
Recall that the Minister of Internal Affairs of Belarus Igor Shunevich regarding a possible increase in the retirement age, he said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was ready for this: “I believe that this process is inevitable. My attitude is this: it is necessary to keep the pension provision formula for employees of the internal affairs bodies. And to increase the retirement age - as the government decides. We will say "Yes!" and we will carry out any decision of our state”.
At the beginning of 2015, there were 83,972 women aged 54, who will turn 55 this year, and 57,700 men aged 59, who were due to retire in 2016. The average size of pensions by age at the end of 2015 in Belarus amounted to 2 million 897.3 thousand rubles.
If we assume that all 141,672 people (83,972 women and 57,700 men) leave six months later, then the savings per month (assuming that everyone would receive an average pension) would amount to 410 billion 494 million 620 thousand rubles or approximately $21.6 million. And in half a year it is already almost 130 million dollars.
