Benefits for pre-retirees in Moscow

Russian citizens of pre-retirement age can apply in 2019-2020 to receive social support from the state in the form of certain benefits. The proposed measures relate to medical, transport services, and relations with the employer. They are assigned to people who have 5 years left before retirement, in order to provide them with additional protection and alleviate their situation.

About new benefits for pre-retirees

The pension reform that started in Russia in 2019 led to an increase in the retirement age, and many Russians perceived this change negatively. However, the reform also has some positive aspects. They concern pre-retirees – people who have several years left to work before retirement.

The state has prepared the following benefits for them:

• Annual medical examination with preservation of wages and job. The employer is obliged to provide the employee with two days to check his health.

• Providing job security. If pre-retirement employees are fired or refused to hire them, the employer will have to bear administrative or criminal liability.

• Possibility of retraining in employment centers.

• If there is no opportunity to find a job, if the employee is laid off or his company is liquidated, and there are no more than 2 years left until retirement age, he may retire earlier. In this case, it is necessary that the experience be at least 20 years for women, and at least 25 years for men.

• Preferential conditions for payment of unemployment benefits are provided.

In 2019-2020, citizens of pre-retirement age will also be provided with some benefits that were previously only available to pensioners:

1. Discounts on payment for some housing and communal services, major repairs;
2. Preferential travel on public transport.

A number of regions have established at the legislative level a number of additional benefits for their residents. So, in Moscow, pre-retirement people can ride the metro for free and get dentures. In difficult situations, they may qualify for financial assistance.

Who is eligible for benefits: age and length of service

Pre-retirements include people who have 5 years left to work before they retire.

This period is valid for the transition period and in the presence of the right to early termination of employment. By the way, before the pension reform this period was only 2 years.

Thus, in 2019 and 2020, benefits will be given to all men and women born in 1963 and 1968.

The five-year period does not lose relevance even when a person is granted an early pension, taking into account the development of the required length of service.

These conditions apply to workers in the Far North, people working in hazardous industries, and other categories of citizens. The right to pre-retirement benefits arises if a person:

1. Works at any enterprise, but has the required work experience;
2. Still working in an environment that allows for early retirement.

Examples of approaching pre-retirement age

To understand how the moment of receiving benefits for pre-retirees in 2019-2020 is determined, we can give several examples:

• A citizen works as a bus driver. After working for 20 years, he can stop working at 55 years old. Pre-retirement age status occurs at 50 years of age.
• A woman who has worked as a tram driver for 15 years can stop working at 50 and will receive rights to pre-retirement preferences at 45.
• Education workers and doctors retire after serving a certain period of time. They become pre-retirees at the moment when this period of service has been completed. For example, by July 1, 2019, a teacher will have worked at school for 25 years. On this day he acquires pre-retirement rights.
• A mother of many children has the opportunity to stop working at 50 years old - this period for her has not changed with the pension reform. She will receive a new status when she turns 45.

Exceptions to the rules

The 5-year rule does not apply to tax benefits. However, you can apply for them from the limits of the old retirement age, i.e. from 55 years old for the fairer sex and 60 years old for the stronger sex.

Residents of the Far North will receive benefits 5 years earlier. Preferences are provided when calculating taxes on property and land.

Confirmation of pre-retirement status

The increase in the age limit for retirement has led to the fact that women and men, upon reaching a certain age, may find themselves in a difficult situation and without work.

To alleviate their situation, the legislation provides benefits for this group of citizens.

A system of informing employers, authorities, employment centers, and other departments is designed to facilitate their implementation.

Information about these people is transmitted electronically. The Interdepartmental Electronic Interaction System and the Unified State Social Security Information System are used. The relevant data is available in the Pension Fund’s personal account. Employers are also notified electronically. Certificates are not issued in paper form. There is no fee for the document.

The state is implementing a whole system of measures to alleviate the situation of citizens of pre-retirement age. They are provided with the opportunity for annual medical examination, retraining, tax and utility benefits, and protection from unscrupulous employers.

What are the benefits for pre-retirement age in Moscow?

Since 2020, the Federal Law on increasing the retirement age has come into force, which requires a number of measures to soften the transition to the new age limit.

Benefits have been developed at the federal and regional levels to support people of pre-retirement age.

What benefits exist for pre-retirement age in Moscow in 2020 will be discussed in this article.

Who can be considered pre-retirement?

In accordance with the Law of the Russian Federation of April 19, 1991

No. 1032-1 “On employment in the Russian Federation” The state has developed measures aimed at implementing measures to promote the employment of citizens experiencing difficulties in finding work, which include citizens of pre-retirement age (within five years before the age entitling them to insurance old age pension, including early retirement) .

Previously, the category of citizens of pre-retirement age included those citizens who had 2 years left before reaching retirement age. Changes upward to 5 years were adopted by Federal Law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018 “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation on the appointment and payment of pensions.”

In other words, pre-retirees are citizens of the Russian Federation who have the opportunity to receive an old-age insurance pension after 5 years.

According to Art. 8 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”, persons who have reached the age of 65 and 60 years (men and women, respectively) have the right to an old-age insurance pension.

In a word, pre-retirees are:

• women, starting from the age of 55 years;
• men, starting from the age of 60 years.

Important! The specified retirement age will not be set immediately, but over time.

In accordance with Appendix No. 1 of the Federal Law of December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ, the age upon reaching which the right to receive a pension under state pension provision arises:

Year in which a citizen acquires the right to a pension under the state pension provision Age at which the right to a pension under the state pension provision arises Men Women 2020 V * + 12 months V + 12 months 2020 V + 24 months V + 24 months 2021 V + 36 months V + 36 months 2022 V + 48 months V + 48 months 2023 V + 60 months V + 60 months

V is the age at which the right to a state pension arises as of December 31, 2018.

Thus, every year 1 year will be added to the retirement age.

Example No. 1. Determining the retirement age.

Resident of Moscow Voronin V.V. Born 1963 was due to retire in 2023 at age 60. Taking into account the new legislation regarding retirement age, Voronin V.V. will be able to be considered a pensioner only from 2028, i.e. from 65 years old.

Considering that pre-retirees are those people who have no more than 5 years left before retirement, in 2020 citizens of the Russian Federation born in the following years can be classified as pre-retirees:

Citizens Years of birth Men 1963, 1962, 1961, 1960, 1959 Women 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964

Important! The right to grant early pensions to such categories of citizens as mothers of large families, teachers, medical workers, workers in the Far North and equivalent territories has been retained by law.

In this case, these categories of citizens will also become pre-retirees 5 years before their expected retirement date.

Is it possible for a pre-retirement person to confirm his status?

The website of the Russian Pension Fund operates an information service that allows you to obtain information about Russians who have reached pre-retirement age. This data can be used by:

• authorities;
• departments;
• employers to provide appropriate benefits to citizens.

PFR data is transmitted electronically through SMEV channels, through the Unified State Social Security Information System (USISSO) and electronic interaction with employers. A certificate confirming a person’s status as a pre-retirement pensioner is also provided through a personal account on the Pension Fund website and in the territorial offices of the Pension Fund.

How to obtain pre-retirement status

Until 2019, in Russia, men retired at 60 years old, and women at 55 years old. From this moment on, Muscovites not only began to receive a pension, but also acquired the right to receive a number of free social services.

Now the retirement age is gradually increasing, for men - up to 65 years, for women - up to 60 years. But the age that gives the right to receive social services in Moscow remains the same - 55 years for women and 60 years for men. It's called pre-retirement. To receive free social services, you must confirm your pre-retirement status.

To obtain pre-retirement status, all the following conditions must be met:

• you are registered at your place of residence in Moscow;
• you have reached pre-retirement age: 55 years for women and 60 years for men;
• you have the insurance experience necessary to assign an old-age insurance pension, or the title “Veteran of Labor” or “Veteran of Military Service”.

To obtain pre-retirement status you will need:

• statement;
• identification document;
• a document containing information about the applicant’s place of residence in Moscow if such information is not included in the identity document;
• certificate of a military veteran (if you have been awarded such a rank);
• additional documents.

If it is not you, but your representative, who is applying for status, he will additionally need:

• his identification document;
• a copy of your identity document;
• document confirming the authority of the representative.

You need to submit documents to any “My Documents” center. From there they will be transferred to the social welfare department at your place of residence. The application must be reviewed by the social security department no later than 6 working days from the day following the day of registration of the application in the “My Documents” center.

But already on the day of submitting an application for pre-retirement status, you can submit an application for registration and issuance of a Muscovite card for a beneficiary.

During the registration of the card, you will be given a temporary unified social ticket for free travel on city public transport and a certificate of the right to free travel on commuter trains.

Also on this day you can apply for a number of government services. But if you are denied pre-retirement status, these applications will also be cancelled.

All Muscovites aged 50 years and older can count on free medical examinations until they reach retirement age. In this case, registration of pre-retirement status is not required.

Benefits for pre-retirees. At what age and who is considered pre-retirement?

2020 has become a new round of raising the retirement age in Russia. Starting this year, women who are 56 and a half years old and men who are 61 and a half years old are retiring.

The next stage of increase will be in the second half of 2021. Today, pre-retirement age is a pressing issue.

Benefits for pre-retirees and opportunities for early retirement have also undergone changes.

Pre-retirement age is how many years

To organize a soft increase in the age of disability, additional social support measures were introduced for those who were already preparing for a well-deserved rest, but did not receive it.

Currently, pre-pensioners include those citizens who have 60 months or less left before officially receiving the right to a pension.

That is, in 2020 it is:

• Women born between 1965 and 1968 (age 52.5 years);
• Men born between 1960 and 1963 (over 57.5 years of age).

Not everything is so simple with benefits for these categories of citizens. Some benefits are established at the federal level, and some are regulated by local regional legislation.

However, even this is more than it was before the start of the pension reform.

Previously, for both women and men, pre-retirement age was considered 24 months before retirement, and the only opportunity for them was to become disabled early in the presence of certain circumstances.

But under the new law, the system works differently, other factors are taken into account and new opportunities are provided.

What about preferential categories of citizens?

For beneficiaries who have the right to retire earlier, the same principle applies as before the pension reform. The right to early exit was assigned to the following categories:

1. Mothers with three or more children (natural and officially adopted);
2. Public sector employees (teachers, doctors);
3. Persons who worked in hazardous industries (who had the so-called “hot work experience”);
4. Persons who worked in the far north and in territories that belong to the far north.

They could become disabled several years earlier. The date of their retirement is gradually shifting as well as the pre-retirement age. For example, the onset of disability for a mother with many children is expected at 50 years old, which means that her pre-retirement age will begin at 45.

Benefit 1: opportunity to work until retirement

This support measure is similar to social protection for pregnant women, who are prohibited by law from being fired at any time due to pregnancy.

According to the new law, it is prohibited:

• Denying a job to a pre-retirement person due to age and without other adequate reasons;
• Dismiss a pre-retirement employee due to age.

This rule is enshrined not just anywhere, but in the Criminal Code. The violator faces liability in the form of a fine or correctional labor.

The state provides support to persons at this age and ensures the operation of the law by the following methods:

• “Hotlines” have been established where pre-retirees whose rights have been violated can contact for advice on further actions;
• Special conditions apply for employers whose staff includes people of pre-retirement age;
• There is an electronic service for protecting the rights of pre-retirees.

It is difficult to say whether this benefit will work for pre-retirees.

In order to hold an employer accountable, you must provide irrefutable evidence of his guilt:

• Correspondence in which the employer refers to the age of the applicant;
• Video materials proving this position of the employer.

There are a huge number of ways to circumvent this law: after all, you can refuse not only because of age. However, the state managed to avoid discrimination based on age. This was the main reason for the unrest and protests against pension reform. Previously, employers sought to get rid of people of pre-retirement age, but now they will be forced to endure them for 5 years more.

However, in the future, both the attitude of employers and pre-retirees themselves towards themselves will most likely change. Working longer hours will become the norm. Especially considering the fact that retirees remain active and often continue their work experience.

Benefit 2: opportunity to check your health

Clinical examination is a set of measures and examinations that every able-bodied citizen must undergo once every 3 years. According to the law, everyone has the opportunity to take 1 day without loss of experience and salary.

According to the new law, pre-retirees can take 2 days and do this every year. To take advantage of the benefit, you generally need to notify the employer with a written statement several days in advance for approval.

An employer cannot refuse a pre-retirement employee or persuade him to take these days without pay or as vacation pay.

In turn, those who wish to undergo an annual medical examination are obliged to visit a medical organization (usually their own clinic) during these two days and carry out all the necessary procedures. After passing the commission, the working pre-retirement worker is given a sheet confirming the completed medical examination. It must be presented at the place of work.

Questions and complaints should not arise if the employer and employee of pre-retirement age do everything according to the law.

Benefit 3: taxes

The tax burden for pensioners differs from the norms for working citizens. However, those who have reached pre-retirement age are treated as pensioner taxpayers. In 2020 this is:

• Women from 52.5 years old;
• Men from 57.5 years old.

Tax benefits for pre-retirement workers:

• Removal of the tax burden on real estate, one from each category (residential premises, house, garage, premises for business or creativity, small outbuildings). For example: a pre-retirement pensioner who has two apartments and a garage is required to pay tax on only one of the apartments;
• Land tax benefit : reduction in taxes on the cadastral value of six acres of land. If a pre-retirement person has a plot of 6 acres, he is exempt from paying taxes on it. If his plot is, for example, 9 acres, he only needs to pay for three;
• Transport tax benefit , which is established at the regional level. In some regions, pre-retirees are completely exempt from paying car tax, in others the tax is reduced by half.

To take advantage of the right of a pre-retirement person to reduce tax expenses, you must submit an application to the Federal Tax Service every year before November 1. To reduce land tax, you only need to apply once.

Benefit 4: support for the unemployed

Social guarantee for those who, for some reason, have lost their jobs and cannot resume their work experience, is expressed in increased unemployment benefits. The maximum amount for pre-retirees is equal to the minimum wage. The calculation is the same as for ordinary citizens:

• 75% of the average income for the last three months of work – within three months;
• 60% - in the next 4 months;
• 45% - in the remaining period.

This rule applies to those who spent at least 26 weeks in their last place of work.

For others, the benefit amount is set at a minimum value.

You can receive it as follows:

• There is benefit for 12 months;
• Then there is no benefit for 6 months;
• Again, the benefit is available for 12 months.

This rule applies to those whose length of service is less than that established by law (for women 20 years and for men 25).

For those who have already achieved the required work experience, another scheme for paying unemployment benefits awaits:

• There is a benefit for 24 years;
• Then for 12 months he is gone;
• Then there is the benefit again until you reach retirement age.

Benefit 5: opportunity for training and retraining

Pre-retirement people have the opportunity to receive free education in their chosen profession. Moreover, it doesn’t matter whether he is employed or not. As for able-bodied citizens, courses are organized by the Employment Center. Pre-retirees can even count on a scholarship, since the training will be full-time for the entire period (up to 3 months).

What you can learn during the training:

• Gain additional skills to your main profession;
• Gain skills in teaching knowledge in your field of activity.

It is assumed that not everyone will be able to undergo training: there will be fewer budget places and opportunities than there are applicants. In addition, not every specialty offers a chance to gain knowledge. However, if such an opportunity exists, the pre-retirement will be obliged to take advantage of it.

Benefit 6: the opportunity to start receiving a pension

The funded part of the pension can be applied for already at pre-retirement age; this is enshrined in law.

The pre-retiree can choose one of the payment options:

1. A one-time payment of the entire accumulated amount (provided that the size of this part is less than 5% of the future insurance pension);
2. Assignment of a pension from accumulated funds - the amount of savings is divided into 252 months (21 years this part will be paid);
3. Urgent payment – ​​savings are divided by 120 (payments will be calculated for 10 years).

Benefit 7: the right to obtain alimony maintenance

This benefit is still under discussion and has not yet been adopted. But in the future, it is possible that pre-retirees will have the right to legally demand payments from their children for their maintenance.

Today, pensioners have this right in the presence of certain circumstances:

• They cared for children during their growing years;
• They have low income or no income at all;
• They are not deprived of parental rights.

If children do not support their parents, they, in turn, can demand through the court the assignment of alimony for their maintenance. If the circumstances exist, the court will order a payment and distribute it among all children according to the law. Typically, alimony for the maintenance of elderly parents is assigned in a fixed amount.

Benefit 8: special right to inheritance

According to the legislation that existed before the pension reform, a mandatory share in the inheritance was given to the parents, children, spouses and dependents of the deceased (including pensioners). Currently, this list includes people of pre-retirement age. This means that even if the deceased left a will in which he wrote out all his property, the pre-retirement person will be entitled to a portion of the common property.

Regional benefits

For 2020, in almost all regions, pre-retirement people are entitled to the same benefits that applied to pensioners before the new law. Each region has its own set of social guarantees.

This may include the right to free or discounted treatment (including dental), medications, subsidies for utility bills, free or discounted travel, etc.

Every pre-retirement pensioner can find out about benefits in their region by contacting the regional social security office.

Conclusion

Benefits for pre-retirees are not only a measure of social support, but also to smooth out the pressing issue of raising the retirement age in the country. The transition is indeed being carried out gently, giving pre-retirees the opportunity not to be left behind in life. After all, most of them did not expect to work beyond the old retirement age.

• • Mandatory part of the inheritance (Article 1149 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
• • Privileges for property and land taxes (Articles 391 and 407 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

At the same time, in each of the Russian subjects, various additional benefits for pre-retirees have been established at the local level, which should be found out in the regional divisions of the Pension Fund, Federal Tax Service or Social Security.

Guarantee against dismissal of a pre-retirement employee

In order to exclude the possible dismissal of an employee for discriminatory reasons related to reaching pre-retirement age, Article 144.1 was introduced into the national Criminal Code. The law provides for an employer who infringes on the rights of a pre-retirement employee by unjustified refusal to hire or unjustified dismissal for the same reason, punishment in the form of:

• • a fine of up to 200 thousand rubles.
• • penalties in the amount of the perpetrator’s salary for a period of up to 1.5 years.
• • forced labor lasting up to 360 hours.

Investigative authorities can also bring an employer to criminal liability if they prove that a pre-retirement employee was forced to leave work due to age, using the phrase “at his own request” that is convenient for the employer.

At the same time, in practice, proving a violation of the law by an employer precisely for these reasons is quite problematic. You will have to present reasoned arguments supported by audio or video recordings, testimony of witnesses to discriminatory actions and statements, and various business papers.

Therefore, in legal practice, the working norm is to bring the employer to administrative liability under Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses “Illegal dismissal.” After all, people are hired and fired based on their qualifications and professional knowledge, and not on the basis of reaching a certain age.

Unemployment benefit. In accordance with Law No. 1032-I “On Employment in the Russian Federation,” the minimum and maximum benefits for the unemployed are established annually by the national Government. In 2019, Resolution No. 1375 determined the following amounts of the specified payment for unemployed pre-retirement workers:

• • The smallest – 1.5 thousand rubles.
• • Limit – 11.28 thousand rubles.

At the same time, the allowance for ordinary Russians left without work is 8 thousand rubles.

Also, Article 34.2 of Law No. 1032-1 stipulates that the period of such subsidies for pre-retirees is 12 months in each of 18 months.

As a result, a person of pre-retirement age receives benefits for a whole year. Then for six months he doesn’t receive any, and then follows the same pattern.

For citizens who have an insurance period of 20 years for women and 25 years for men, such benefits are payable for up to 2 years in a period of 3 years.

The payment amount is calculated as standard. A pre-retirement worker who has worked at least 26 weeks will have to receive the following amount from the average monthly income at the last place of work:

• • 75% – first 3 months.
• • 60% – next 4 months.
• • 45% remaining period.

It should be remembered that the specified monthly payment cannot exceed the established maximum of 11.28 thousand rubles. If you work less than 26 weeks, the benefit amount will be minimal. The amount of the payment is subject to indexation by the value of the regional coefficient, if any.

Benefits are calculated according to the general rules for a pre-retirement person if:

• • Have not worked in the last year.
• • Dismissed or expelled from school for violations.

Early retirement for a pre-retirement person

A preferential opportunity for a pre-retirement pensioner to retire earlier than the established period is possible in the following 5 cases:

• • 2 years left until you become a pensioner.
• • Has a long work history.
• • There is the title of mother of many children.
• • Dismissal 2 years before retirement.
• • Availability of “hot” experience.

In the first option, the lenient regime established for 2019 and 2020 allows persons who were eligible for the old-age pension under previous conditions to receive a pension six months earlier than the deadline established under the new rules.

In the second case, if the person has completed work experience:

• • 37 years – for women.
• • 42 years – for men.

Thus, if the specified parameters are present, citizens received the right to an old-age pension 2 years earlier than the age determined for the rest. However, at the time of registration of status, you must be at least 55 years old for women and 60 years old for men.

In the third situation, it is necessary to give birth to 5 children and raise them until they are at least 8 years old. Then, with 15 years of insurance experience, a woman will be able to retire at 50 years old. Also, subject to the above conditions, bonuses are provided for mothers who give birth:

• • 4 children – pension 4 years earlier.
• • 3 children – 3 respectively.

In the fourth variation, the grounds for dismissal must be:

• • Staff reduction.
• • Liquidation of the employer.

In this case, the pension is assigned after appropriate submission from the employment center unit.

The fifth option is traditional for people who have worked for a certain period in positions that provide a “hot” network.

Extra day for medical examination

Pre-retirees are entitled to 2 days of annual medical examination, which are paid for by the employer. For other employees from 21 years of age - 1 day every 3 years.

To receive bonus days, a pre-retirement person needs:

• • Agree them with the employer - submit a corresponding application.
• • Confirm the completion of medical examination with papers from the medical institution to which he is assigned at his place of residence.

It is not allowed to simply not show up for work - there will be absenteeism.

Additional vocational training

A person of pre-retirement age who wishes to be in demand in the labor market has the right to professional retraining within the framework of the national project “Demography”.

Studying, or rather “enriching” existing skills, must be organized by a local employment center, which must also pay an appropriate stipend in the amount of the minimum wage established in the region. To do this, you must submit a corresponding application.

The right to a funded pension. In 2019, the legislator left the same age for citizens to receive a funded pension arising from employer contributions, personal contributions and investment profits: 55 and 60 years, respectively, for women and men.

There are, according to Law No. 424 - Federal Law “On Funded Pension”, 3 options for such payments:

• • One-time.
• • Urgent.
• • Monthly.

A situation where the calculated amount of the funded part of the pension is 5% or less of the old-age pension allows you to receive all your savings one-time. In case of urgent payment, savings will be issued within 10 years.

In the latter option, the size of the savings part is determined by attributing the savings made to 252 months.

When the received value is more than 5%, the pre-retirement pensioner receives the right to unlimited monthly payments.

Right to alimony

The legislator has established the right of pre-retirees who need financial support to child support in paragraph 8 of Article 169 of the RF IC. However, this need will need to be proven in court.

Therefore, in order not to spoil relationships with adult children, for many the best option would be to conclude a voluntary child support agreement.

Mandatory part of the inheritance. This benefit allows a pre-retirement person, regardless of the nature of the will, to receive at least half of the property that would be due to him upon inheritance by law.

The allocation of inheritance comes from the entire mass of inherited property, both willed and not, which the pre-pensioner would have received based on the order of inheritance.

All manipulations are carried out in accordance with the procedural rules and deadlines established for inheritance.

Tax privileges

Pre-retirees were equated to actual pensioners, providing privileges to pay:

• • Real estate tax.
• • Land tax.
• • Transport duty.

In the first case, you can avoid paying tax on 1 object from each category:

• • Residential building (part of a house).
• • Apartment (room) or part of a given residential premises.
• • Garage (space for a car).
• • Studio, workshop or other premises for creative and other purposes.
• • Buildings for economic purposes up to 50 square meters.

According to the land tax, a pre-retirement person may not have to pay for “6 favorite acres.” Transport tax is the responsibility of regional authorities. As a rule, this is an exemption from the fee for 1 car, including based on the vehicle engine capacity limit.

Registration of tax privileges due to a pre-retirement pensioner, which are exclusively of an applicant nature, takes place at the tax authorities at the place of registration.

Benefit at the regional level

In addition to federal benefits, each region of Russia has adopted relevant regulations that give certain bonuses to pre-retirees. Among them:

• • Free or discounted travel on municipal and suburban transport.
• • The above-mentioned transport tax (usually a 50% discount on cars with an engine of up to 150 horsepower).
• • Compensation of costs for housing and communal services tariffs (relevant when living with elderly people).
• • Privileges for persons with the status of labor and combat veterans.
• • Medical support and others.

Conclusion: Thus, together at FoxTop.ru you learned that under the conditions of the pension reform, the legislator actually provided for a number of important privileges for pre-retirees. You should find out the list and how to register them, as mentioned above, in the regional social security departments.
