The State Duma explained which periods will be counted towards the pension period

MOSCOW, October 10 - RIA Novosti. Military service, caring for children up to one and a half years old and other periods when a person did not work and insurance premiums for him were not deducted are counted towards the pension experience, State Duma deputy Nikolai Kolomeytsev (Communist Party of the Russian Federation) told RIA Novosti.

“The length of service includes periods when a person did not work and insurance premiums were not deducted for him. This is military service, including contract service. Sick leave. And, of course, the length of service includes caring for children - one of the parents for each child until he reaches one and a half years old,” Kolomeytsev said.

The deputy added that the length of service also includes the period of caring for the disabled - a disabled person of group I, a disabled child or a person who has reached 80 years of age; the period of receiving unemployment benefits or participating in paid public works and moving to another area in the direction of the employment service.

In addition, living with a military spouse or diplomat is taken into account if there is no possibility of finding a job at the place of stay, Kolomeytsev explained. Also, as the politician pointed out, the length of service includes the period of detention and serving a sentence - but only of those persons who were unjustifiably brought to criminal liability - which is proven - and subsequently rehabilitated, the period of temporary removal from office of a person who was unjustifiably brought to criminal liability and subsequently rehabilitated.

The politician clarified that in Russia there are two concepts - insurance length and individual pension coefficient, that is, the very points that affect the size of the pension.

“As for pension points for periods outside of work, which affect the size of the future pension, 1.8 points per year are awarded for caring for the first child, 3.6 points per year for the second, 5.4 points per year for the third or fourth. 1.8 points per year will be awarded for military service by conscription, as well as for caring for a group I disabled person or a person over 80 years old,” he noted.
