Of the Law on State Pension Insurance. Compulsory Pension Insurance Law: amendments, current data

In the Russian Federation, pension provision operates on the terms of the compulsory pension insurance system (OPS), therefore it is guaranteed for all residents of the Russian Federation. From the transferred insurance payments, the budget of the country's Pension Fund is formed, from which pensions are paid to registered citizens, assigned depending on the funds received to the personal account of each of the participants.

Explanation of some basic concepts of OPS

Compulsory pension insurance is a system of measures (legal, economic) taken by the state and providing compensation for the official income of citizens before they received (before retirement).

In Russia, these functions are performed by special structures:

  1. By the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (state).
  2. Non-state funds.

Insured persons are persons covered by the GPT. These include citizens who have citizenship of the Russian Federation, citizens of other states and persons who do not have citizenship, but permanently or temporarily living within the Russian Federation.

Personalized (individual) accounting is a procedure for concentrating and recording information on a personal personal account (ILS) for each insured, including information on:

  • his employment in the form of seniority;
  • made transfers of money for the formation of a pension.

The amount of the payment due to the recipient depends on the total amount of accumulated money. The account number (SNILS) of each recipient is indicated in the insurance document (certificate).

An agreement on compulsory pension insurance is a document drawn up between a citizen and a non-state fund and predetermining, upon the occurrence of a case provided for in the transaction, payment of a part of the collected amount (accumulative) to the recipient from the NPF.

Insurants are legal organizations, individual entrepreneurs who transfer insurance payments to the Pension Fund for themselves and for employees (insured).

OPS structure


Pension insurance, which covers all categories of people living in the Russian Federation, is divided into:

  1. Mandatory, which is assigned:
    • upon reaching a legal age (old age);
    • when establishing a group;
  2. At ;
  3. Voluntary, providing for payments formed from amounts paid by employers and independent transfers of citizens.

PFs of non-state affiliation are endowed with the right to conduct activities on both options.

Pension benefits are paid to the recipient in a fixed amount of money on a regular basis, when they reach a certain age, or as an allowance in some circumstances.

The pension consists of parts:

  • a fixed payment, which is transferred by the state without taking into account the income received (earnings) and the amount of contributions who have reached the age provided for by the law and if the applicant has work experience (at least 10 years);
  • , determined depending on the amount of payments paid to the Pension Fund for the period of the citizen's employment, and calculated as the ratio of the amount of capital before the appointment of payment and the number of months of waiting for payments (252 months);
  • , for citizens born in 1967 and younger, if a choice was made in her favor before 2015.

Subjects of the pension insurance system

The main elements of the FSA system are presented:

  • the main insurer or PF RF;
  • policyholders or employers who pay their own and employee contributions;
  • insured persons or registered citizens who have received a certificate of a participant in the OPS.

The factor that determines belonging to the category of the insured is the transfer of insurance payments to the Pension Fund by persons with Russian citizenship who work in the country or abroad, stateless persons and citizens of other states present in the Russian Federation temporarily or permanently.

Attention! Policyholders or organizations and persons engaged in private (individual) activities belonging to several categories are obliged to pay insurance premiums on all available grounds.

In addition, for the obligations of the insurer (PF), which carries out compulsory insurance, liability is also assumed by the state. NPF can also perform the functions of an insurer, but only in relation to the formation of the funded part.

Obligations and rights of system participants

The legislation of the Russian Federation defines the rights and responsibilities for the participants of the MPI system in the implementation of functions, the rules for the formation and spending of budgetary funds of the funds, as well as the rules for payment of payments (Federal Law on Compulsory Pension Insurance, No. 167 of 12/15/2001).

The insured is obliged to register as such in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and pay the premiums in full and on time.

The insurer is obliged:

  1. take into account and control incoming funds;
  2. ensure strictly targeted direction of use of proceeds;
  3. assign and pay pensions (insurance, funded).

Insured persons have the right to:

  • make additional contributions (in excess of the mandatory amount) for the pension option:

Obtaining an insurance certificate


Anyone can obtain an insurance document (certificate SNILS) independently or through an employer.

When personally contacting the PF branch at the place of actual residence (registration), the applicant is provided with a questionnaire and a document proving his identity (identity card, passport). The certificate must be issued within 5 working days.

When applying for a job, the data of a citizen who does not have a personal account in the OPS system is sent by a specialist of the employer's personnel structure to the PF unit within 17 days from the date of employment. The PF registers the applicant in the system and prepares the SNILS certificate within no more than 5 working days after receiving the documents from the employer. The prepared form is issued by the policyholder to the newly registered person within up to 7 days.

To obtain SNILS for a minor child, one of the parents applies to the PF department with the following documents:

  • your passport;
  • statement;
  • a child's birth document;
  • certificate of registration at the place of residence or at the place of stay.

Children from 14 to 18 years old can get a document from the Pension Fund on their own if they have a passport.

Content of the pension insurance contract


If a citizen has chosen an NPF as an insurer to form a funded pension, then an agreement on compulsory pension insurance is concluded between them.

According to the terms of the agreement, the fund is obliged to assign to the insured and pay him a funded share of the labor pension upon reaching the statutory age. In the event of the death of the registered person, payments are made in favor of the successors.

The text of the document contains a description of the personal data of the registered person, information about the insurance situation, details of the parties, and also:

  • duration of the transaction;
  • duties and rights of the participating parties (PF, insured person);
  • accounting for the money received, their subsidies;
  • responsibility of participants for improper fulfillment of contractual obligations in accordance with the legislation of the country;
  • requirements for the appointment and making payments from the funded part of capital by age;
  • criteria for transferring the accumulated amounts to the legal successors of the deceased insured person;
  • conditions for making additions and requirements for the transaction.

In the same period, only one insurance contract can be concluded between a citizen and an NPF.

Attention! The agreement is recognized as effective from the date of receipt of the money transferred by the insurer to the current account of the selected fund.

Formation of the constituent parts of the pension


In the MPI system, insurance and funded pensions are formed mainly from insurance premiums. Until 2014, employers paid employee contributions for both types of pension. However, until the end of 2015, citizens were given the right to choose: to direct the entire amount for the formation of an insurance pension or distribute them between insurance and funded pensions.

The general tariff for insurance payments (22%), taking into account the chosen method, is distributed as follows:

  • in the case of the formation of the insurance part, 6% is allocated to the payment of the basic share for the current pensioners and 16% for the formation of the payment in the future of the insured himself;
  • in the case of the formation of the insurance and funded parts of the pension, 6% is allocated for the payment of the basic share, 10% for the formation of the payment of the registered one, and 6% for the payment of the funded portion.

The possibility of distributing insurance premiums is still available for those who entered into an employment relationship and for them for the first time contributions began to arrive after 01.01.2014.

Important! The receipt of new insurance contributions from employers for the funded pension in the MPI system was suspended by the decision of the state for the period from 2014 to 2020.

Citizens who have made a choice in favor of forming an insurance and funded pension have the right to refuse to form a funded pension at any time. To do this, you must submit an application or change the decision before the end of the year in which the application was submitted, withdrawing it.

Attention! The state does not index the funded share of the payment. Investing the accumulated funds can be both profitable and unprofitable, which will affect the size of the pension in the future.

Payment and rates of insurance premiums


The accrual of contributions to the GPT is made taking into account the maximum amount of earnings ( 865,000 rubles in 2019). If the income exceeds the specified value, an additional tariff is provided (10%).

Payments are to be paid to the Pension Fund by the employer no later than the 15th of the month, and are also reflected in the mandatory reporting in a single form, transmitted to the regulatory authorities in paper and electronic form. Violations of the timing of transfers of contributions and their volume are the reason for the imposition of a fine on the policyholder.

The rate for transfers of contributions in the current year is 22%. The policyholder pays for himself 26% of the annual minimum wage, which in 2019 amounted to 11,280 rubles. For self-employed persons and entrepreneurs who do not have hired employees, the fixed payment will be 26,545 rubles with the addition of 1% of the amount exceeding 300,000 rubles.

Important! The country's Pension Fund money is not an integral part of the federal budget and is intended only for the fulfillment of target obligations.

The PF's expenses in some periods may exceed the amount of accumulated funds if employers, for various reasons, do not pay assessed contributions. The deficit of resources is covered by subsidies from the state budget of the Russian Federation.

 Share link

The answer to this question will be provided by FZ-167. Some of its provisions will be discussed in the article.

What is the law about?

What relations are regulated by FZ-167 "On Compulsory Pension Insurance"? Article 1 of the submitted normative act refers to the legal relationship in the field of the emergence and implementation of rights, obligations and certain types of liability of compulsory insurance subjects. What is pension insurance? The law speaks of a set of organizational, legal and economic measures that are aimed at obtaining a citizen's earnings after the corresponding registration process.

The most important element in the pension insurance system is pension provision. We are talking here about the performance by the insurer of its obligations to issue payments. In this case, the funds of pension insurance are finances managed by the insurer. The insurer, in turn, is the Russian Pension Fund.

On the powers of the state

Despite the fact that most of the functions are carried out by instances from the system of the Russian Pension Fund, the source of all powers is precisely the federal bodies. What functions of state institutions are worth highlighting here? This is what Article 3.1 of FZ-167 fixes:

State bodies can also perform some other functions that comply with the provisions of FZ-167.

Subjects of pension insurance

Chapter 2 of FZ-167 "On Compulsory Pension Insurance" lists the main subjects of the entire system under consideration. It should be noted right away that there are only three subjects here: policyholders and insurers.

What can you tell about the insurer? According to the law, this is the name of the legal entities that implement the state insurance processes. The insurer can be called both itself and non-state pension funds.

The insured can be legal entities and individuals, as well as individual entrepreneurs. Policyholders are persons who voluntarily agreed to enter into the legal relationship in question.

Article 7 of FZ-167 refers to insured persons. According to the law, this is the name given to citizens who are already covered by compulsory pension-type insurance. The law provides detailed information on who exactly the insured citizens can be: for example, entrepreneurs, representatives of small communities, clergy, persons who have entered into an employment contract, etc.

On the rights and obligations of the subjects of the pension system

Chapter 3 "On Compulsory Pension Insurance" lists the main powers and responsibilities of each subject of the pension system. So, the insurer is able to manage the funds of the FIU and demand from their superiors the conditions appropriate for work. His duties include exercising control over the correctness of the information provided, as well as timely and high-quality work with the available financial resources.

Policyholders are able to appoint their representatives, go to court, pay premiums and get all the information they need from the insurer. If we talk about obligations, then it is necessary to highlight here the timely payment of the relevant contributions, the fulfillment of the requirements of the representatives of the FIU, ensuring the implementation of the rights of insured persons and some other mandatory functions.

Insured persons have the opportunity to timely receive insurance coverage in full, as well as to defend their freedoms and interests. At the same time, their responsibilities include presenting the relevant documentation to the insurer, as well as observing the conditions established for the recalculation and payment of compulsory insurance.

About financing

It is easy to guess that the financial support of the entire system under consideration is possible only at the expense of the budget of the Russian Pension Fund. This is also stated in article 16 of the Federal Law-167 "On compulsory pension insurance".

All funds of the FIU are the property of the federation. They are not subject to withdrawal and are not included in other budgets. In order to form a pension budget, it is necessary to correctly balance all expenses and incomes. Every year the Government of the Russian Federation approves a new budgetary system, in accordance with which all further functions are implemented.

Insurance rates

Article 22 of FZ-167 (2001) "On Mandatory Pension Provision" contains information on the rate of the insurance premium. According to the regulatory act, the determination of the amount of insurance premiums in relation to insured persons is carried out by the FIU on the basis of an individual type of accounting.

In this case, it is necessary to take into account a number of tariffs, depending on the age of citizens. Depending on whether a person was born before or after 1966, the pension provision will be established. At the same time, all insurance contributions that were calculated in excess of the fixed contribution will be used to finance the funded part of the labor-type pension.

Federal Law No. 167-FZ defines compulsory pension insurance (hereinafter briefly OPS), which is a system that helps to provide pensioners with payments. The process of carrying out this procedure is regulated by the Federal Law "On Pension Insurance" of the Russian Federation. There is also in the Russian Federation, but this is different.

  • first chapter, as usual, introduces the general provisions of the bill;
  • second chapter will tell about the participants of compulsory pension insurance;
  • third- on the rights, duties and existing responsibilities of people falling under this Federal Law;
  • fourth- about the financial system of the OPS;
  • the fifth- on contributions for compulsory pension insurance (SV);
  • sixth- on the final provisions.

The last amendments to the law "On Pension Insurance" were made last year on December 19, 2016. All amendments and additions to the new document have already entered into force from the beginning of January 2017. However, it should also be mentioned that there is already a new edition of June 2017. , which has not yet entered into force - this will happen from the first day of January 2018. Clause 7 of Article 33 was subject to change.

Highlights of FZ-167
