The latest pension reform has become the most unpopular of all the previous ones. Raising the retirement age was a foregone conclusion. As compensation, an increase in pensions and a number of innovations are promised, which should slightly brighten up the negative from the measures taken. For budget workers, there have also been some unexpected changes.
Government employees are people working in industries in which wages are provided by the state. The state employees include health workers, teachers and kindergarten teachers, employees of various research institutes. The wages of these categories of workers have recently begun to increase after the presidential decrees in May. Some state employees have benefits that give them the right to retire earlier. Such benefits have always been with doctors and teachers. It was enough to work out the required length of service and it was possible to retire earlier than their peers.
Changes after the pension reform:
After the next pension reform, there have been some changes concerning state employees and not only.
The most discussed, but also expected, is the increase in the retirement age. They raised him for five years. This led to a number of changes that at first glance are not entirely clear. On the one hand, it seems that a special experience, which gives the right to an early retirement pension, has been retained for state employees (it ranges from 25 to 30 years, depending on the category of the beneficiary), teachers, educators and medical workers. However, the deadline for applying for a pension was changed. Those. if the length of service required for a doctor or teacher for retirement has been developed, then the date when the required length of service has been developed is recorded and it will be necessary to work after that for another five years, since the pension will not be charged earlier. Women who have at least once gone on maternity leave with a child who does not go into special work experience will be able to work out the due date later.
In the coming years, for people who planned to retire, they made a transitional period so that it would not be so offensive, from 2019 to 2028, the period for applying for a pension will be gradually increased. After 2028, the new law will finally enter into force.
Early assignment of pensions to mothers with many children
Among state employees, of course, there are also large families. They will receive the right to early retirement if they have worked out at least 15 years of insurance experience in total.
Early appointment of a pension for long service
State employees who do not have a special experience can retire early if they have a long experience. Women must work at least 37 years to receive this benefit, and men at least 42 years. But it will be possible to get the right to early retirement no earlier than five years before the deadline.
In theory, pension reform should guarantee a rise in pensions. The President drew attention to this and promised to follow her growth. Not all pensioners are ready to give up work for the sake of a pension, which will not provide a normal life. As long as there is strength, people try to work. A working pensioner is more protected and feels more confident than a person who has not reached retirement age and has not applied for a pension at the expense of benefits provided by the state to pensioners (payment of taxes, free travel, preferential rent) and pensions. In this situation, it is not clear who will work after the onset of retirement age, without applying for her pensions and losing all benefits in order to receive a slightly higher pension later.
