Pension reform, which started in Russia, also affected preferential pensions for health workers. In 2020, health workers who have earned the required length of service will not go on a well-deserved rest after years of service.
Changes
Since 2019, the standard of the introduced deferral has been in force. According to the scheme proposed by the government, the delay is annually increased by 12 months and will be 60 months by 2023. Based on the proposed changes, doctors and nurses who have earned the necessary preferential length of service by this time will use it after 5 years - in 2028.
For employees who have earned the required experience in 2020, an exception applies. They are entitled to a preferential pension 6 months ahead of schedule. This means that they will be assigned and paid social security benefits not after 2 years, but after 1.5. The countdown is from the moment of acquiring the required length of service.
Who aren't innovated?
Legislative innovations do not apply to specialists working in certain conditions:
- particularly harmful conditions - with radiologists and laboratory assistants in X-ray rooms;
- harmful working conditions - in employees of psychiatric, tuberculosis, oncological and infectious hospitals.
The rules for leaving and assigning pensions to these categories of health workers in 2020 will remain unchanged. Deferral does not apply to them. The basis is Federal Law No. 350, which entered into force on October 3, 2018.
