Upon reaching the age of 60 for men and 55 for women, they can retire, which means termination of employment with subsequent receipt of monthly payments from the state. You can apply for a pension at the place of your main job.
Instructions
Step 1
Check in advance at what age you can retire. To do this by law, having reached the age of 60 (men) or 55 years (women), you must have at least 5 years of work experience. There are certain exceptions, for example, if you have to work in hazardous or physically difficult jobs. In these and some other cases, you will be able to retire earlier, in accordance with Russian law or the requirements specified in your employment contract. If you have worked for less than five years, you are still eligible for a special social pension.
Step 2
Start collecting the required paperwork. The employer must give you a certified copy of the work record book or the document itself. It depends on whether you plan to quit your job in the future. If desired, the employee can continue to work, even after becoming a pensioner. Also get a certificate of your salary for your five years of employment. It is not necessary to take into account the last ones, you can select those years during which, for example, you received the highest salary. In addition, in order to apply for a pension, you will need a passport with the registration indicated in it.
Step 3
Take all documents to the branch of the Pension Fund of Russia at your place of residence. The location of the nearest branch can be found through the website of the organization. Please note that in some organizations, a special HR officer submits documents to the Pension Fund. If you are applying for retirement on your own, write an application based on one of the samples that will be provided to you at the department. As soon as the FIU reviews your application, you will be able to receive a pension certificate and choose the method of receiving money - by mail, to a bank account or home delivery.
