All citizens who belong to this category can apply for it upon the occurrence of certain conditions. The conditions and procedure for appointment as civil servants, as well as the procedure for this procedure, will be discussed further.
A long-service pension is certain payments from the state that certain categories of persons have the right to receive only if they have a legally established length of service.
When assigning it, the age of the citizen, as well as his ability to work, is not taken into account; only actual work in a certain area is important. Payments of this pension are made from the federal state budget.
The right to receive long service payments is additional social guarantee, which is provided on behalf of the state to federal civil servants. To obtain it, they must meet many criteria, namely: 
- Be fired for one of the following reasons:
- staff reduction;
- agreement of the parties;
- own wish;
- circumstances that do not depend on the will of the parties;
- changes in the terms of the current employment contract(contract);
- reaching the maximum possible age;
- liquidation of a government agency.
- Have at least 15 years of experience in the civil service. However, in some cases, legislation provides for the possibility of retirement even with less length of service.
- Hold a civil servant position without interruption for at least 12 months before dismissal.
- Reach maximum term, during which you can remain in public service. Its duration is 60 years.
- Be fired for one of the following reasons:
It is worth considering that a citizen does not have the right to work in the civil service and receive a long-service pension at the same time. Another requirement concerns the length of service a civil servant can retire from. It is established separately for men and women and is 60 and 55 years old, respectively.
If the length of service is 25 years and the employee worked in the civil service for 7 continuous years before dismissal, then he has the right to retire based on length of service at any time, even before reaching the age established by law.
Calculation procedure
The calculation of a pension for a civil servant is influenced by several factors, presented below.
Average salary for the last 12 months before retirement
In this case, only those payments that were made to the citizen in the public service are taken into account. That is, if he worked somewhere else during this period, the wages received there will not be taken into account.
The employer has no right to violate the deadlines for paying maternity benefits. Read more about the rights of pregnant women to receive benefits.
Additional allowances
The long-service pension is assigned in addition to and is paid along with it. The legislation establishes the minimum insurance period required to receive the last type of pension. It increases annually and in 2016 it is 7 years. 
A civil servant is possible if, in addition, he officially worked in other places and committed with his wages insurance premiums. In this case, the amount of the additional payment is determined from the amount of his capital and length of service, as well as the established coefficient. To calculate such an additional payment, it is best to contact the Pension Fund branch, since only fund employees will be able to accurately and correctly calculate the amount of the additional payment, taking into account all the characteristics of the pensioner.
A long-service pension is assigned to certain categories of workers, subject to their having a certain length of service. One of these categories includes civil servants who have the right to retire if they have at least 15 years of work experience in this service. Its size is determined by the average monthly earnings and ranges from 45 to 75% of its value.
The authorities have been talking for several years about the need to increase age limit working citizens. The reform began with the public sector. In particular, it has changed since January 1, 2019. The new edition, among other things, clarifies what the age limit for being in the civil service is.
For ordinary officials it increased from 60 to 65 years. If a person holds the position of adviser or assistant, he can work longer - until the end of the term of authority assigned to him. To do this, you will need a written decision from the employer’s representative, as well as the written consent of the employee himself.
Special conditions are provided for managers. With the consent of the employee and by decision of the government agency (the relevant official), the contract with such a civil servant can be extended until he turns 70 years old.
It is important to understand that the age limit for civil service does not increase immediately: the qualification will increase annually by 6 months. According to the amendments, male officials will have to work a full 65 years by 2026. For women, a benefit is provided - leaving work at 63 years old. Those who leave their positions in 2032 will have to work until this age.
Let us note that 65 and 70 years are, in principle, not the limit. At the request of the employee and with the consent of the employer, cooperation can be continued on the basis of. The only thing is that the employee will no longer be able to hold a position related to the civil service.
New rules for long service retirement
In addition to stopping work due to old age, officials can resign due to length of service. From 2019, the length of service required for this will also change annually by six months. According to the table appendix to the Federal Law of December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ “On State Pension Provision in Russian Federation", to leave in 2019 you will need 16 years of service, and in 2019 - already 16.6 years. Those expecting to leave in 2026 must serve at least 20 years. The rules apply to both women and men.
Let us note that, according to the current version of Law No. 166-FZ, in addition to the required length of service, federal civil servants were also required to work for at least 12 full months in their last position. This rule does not apply to pensioners who continue to work. In addition, it cannot be used if, as of January 1, 2019, the federal civil servant:
- has already acquired the right to a long service pension;
- worked in the public sector for at least 20 years;
- has more than 15 years of experience and previously received the right to a pension due to disability.

From 05/27/2003 "About the system civil service Russian Federation" civil servants are divided into:
- Federal government employees- these are citizens who work in a federal government structure and receive remuneration from the federal budget. Persons holding federal government positions include employees:
- apparatuses of federal legislative bodies;
- federal executive authorities
- federal judicial apparatus;
- other federal government bodies (prosecutor's office, Investigative Committee, Accounts Chamber, etc.)
- Civil servants of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation(municipal employees) are citizens working in a civil position and receiving remuneration from the budget of the corresponding constituent entity of the Russian Federation.
The civil service positions themselves are determined by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated December 31, 2005 N 1574, and their pension provision is determined by law dated December 15, 2001 N 166-FZ “On state pension provision in the Russian Federation”.
Types of assigned pensions
For civil servants, according to Article 7 Federal Law No. 166-FZ of December 15, 2001 provides pension payments both for length of service and an insurance pension (in accordance with Law N 400-FZ of December 28, 2013), if the conditions for its calculation are met.
- Pension accruals based on length of service are provided for federal civil servants (this also includes municipal employees) who have reached retirement age and a certain length of service in government positions. Payment based on length of service is made from the budget of the Russian Federation, region or municipality.
- If a citizen also worked in non-state structures and insurance contributions were deducted for him, then he has the right to receive an old-age (disability) pension from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.
Long service pension is granted only simultaneously with the insurance pension by age (or due to disability).
Assignment of long-service pensions to civil servants
In order for a long service pension to be granted, several conditions must be met:
- reaching retirement age (as of 2018, women are 56 years old, men are 61);
- The length of service in a public position must be at least 16 years;
- continuous experience civil service - at least 12 months before dismissal (only for federal civil servants);
- the dismissal of an employee occurred by agreement of the parties, in connection with changes in the terms of the contract, reduction or liquidation of a government agency, or the achievement of maximum age public service.
It is possible to receive a pension before retirement age; in this case, the length of civil service must be at least 25 years and continuous work experience in the civil service must be at least 7 years. Also, if a state organization is liquidated or the organization’s staff is reduced, it is possible to receive a pension without fulfilling the condition of working for 12 months.
If you have work experience in the public service at least 15 years an employee can count on a pension payment in the amount of 45% of average monthly earnings minus the insurance pension.
For each year of work experience over 15 years, the payment increases by 3%, but in total the total payment cannot exceed 75% from the average salary of an employee.
The right to an insurance (labor) pension
Federal civil servants have the right to a share of the insurance (labor) pension in accordance with Article 19 of the law “About insurance pensions” on time insurance period 15 years, which includes the period of public service, if you have the required number of points and reach retirement age.
The insurance period includes the following periods:
- periods of activity for which contributions under compulsory pension insurance were paid;
- length of public service;
- other periods specified in Art. 12 laws “About insurance pensions”.
Insurance pension provision is calculated based on the accumulated value of pension points multiplied by their value in the year of appointment (from January 1, 2018, 81.49 rubles). For civil servants such a pension is paid excluding fixed payment.
If the citizen continues labor activity after retirement, for which contributions to the Pension Fund will continue to be paid, his pension provision will be subject to recalculation. Thus, the share of the old-age insurance pension is subject to recalculation according to individual accounting data with an increase in the sum of the coefficients, which depends on the amount of insurance contributions not taken into account when calculating the insurance pension when it was assigned. Recalculation occurs annually from August 1 without the pensioner filing an application.
Law on raising the retirement age from 2017
On May 11, 2016, a law proposed by United Russia member Valery Trapeznikov was adopted, on the basis of which the gradual increase in the retirement age of civil servants for women up to 63 years old, and up to 65 for men.
The law of May 23, 2016 No. 143-FZ comes into force on January 1, 2017 and will involve an increase in the retirement age for six months annually until it reaches the set level. For men this will happen by 2026, and for women by 2032.
The period of service for receiving a pension has also changed: if previously it was 15 years, now for civil servants will need to work for 20 years. Minimum experience according to length of service, as well as retirement age, will also increase gradually and reach a final increase by 2026.
This law also increases the period of performance of duties for deputies of the State Duma and members of the Federation Council for calculating bonuses based on length of service; now it will be 5 years instead of the previously established year.
Calculation of state pension for federal employees
The calculation of the amount of state pension payment for length of service for federal civil servants depends on the average monthly salary of length of service and the amount of accrued old-age (disability) pension, and is calculated using the formula:
P = (45% SZ - SP) + 3% SZ × St,
- P- the amount of pension for long service;
- NW- average salary;
- JV- amount of old-age (disability) pension;
- St- experience over 15 years.
The calculation does not take into account the amount of increases in fixed payments to the insurance pension and the size of the share of the insurance pension.
The law also sets restrictions on the size of the maximum pension payment. So the amount of service pension and insurance pension cannot exceed 75% average monthly salary of a federal civil servant.
Earnings from which the pension is calculated
The size of the long-service pension depends on the average monthly earnings for Last year(12 months) of service prior to retirement. To determine the amount of this earnings the following payments are taken into account civil servants:
- official monthly salary;
- monthly salary assigned to the employee according to class rank;
- long service bonus;
- bonus for special conditions of the federal state civil service, added to the official salary;
- bonus for working with information constituting state secrets;
- monthly bonus;
- bonus for completing particularly important and complex tasks;
- one-time payment for annual paid leave and financial assistance.
When calculating average monthly earnings excluded from calculation periods (accrued benefit amounts during this time are not taken into account):
- employee leave without pay;
- maternity and child care leave upon reaching the age established by law;
- period of temporary incapacity.
The amount of average monthly earnings is calculated by dividing the total amount of payments by 12. If vacations or sick leave are recorded in the billing period, then the total amount of earnings is divided by the number of days actually worked and multiplied by 21 (the average number of working days per year).
The amount of average earnings cannot exceed 2.8 of the official salary or 0.8 of the monetary remuneration established for the employee in the billing period.
Indexation of pension provision for civil servants
Annually, the long-service pension may be subject to increase through indexation. In accordance with Resolution No. 346 of May 31, 2005, it is carried out:
- at increase in official salaries federal civil servants - by the index of increase in such official salaries;
- at increase in other cash payments included in the maintenance of federal civil servants - by the index of increase in such payments (weighted average).
An increase in the amount of payments also occurs in the following cases:
- change in the amount of old-age pension;
- increasing the length of service in public service.
Indexation of old-age labor pensions is carried out annually on February 1 to the inflation level of the previous year. However, this legislative provision was suspended until 2017 and in the current 2016 the increase was only 4%. After such a low indexation, the government decided to pay additional 5000 rubles to all pensioners as compensation (January 1, 2017).
Increasing the amount of payments
