24. Is teaching experience included in teaching experience? Institute, I entered the institute a year after finishing 10th grade in 1979, and before and after studying I worked as a teacher at a boarding school. Studying at the institute is included in the work book.
24.1. Yes, in your case, the period of study at a pedagogical institute is subject to inclusion in the teaching experience, which gives the right to an early pension. If the Pension Fund does not count him into special experience, he will have to go to court.
How much pension a person will receive depends on how much service he has accrued. Therefore, great attention is paid to this period.
To receive a decent payment in the future, a person must officially work and transfer a certain amount to the Pension Fund account. Let's look at situations where years of study are included in work experience.
After this period, the amount of insurance premiums that are transferred to the account is taken into account Pension Fund.
Attention is also paid to certain periods when the citizen was not engaged in labor activity.
IN last years insurance experience began to play an important role . This period includes all periods when a person worked or did not work, but made contributions to extra-budgetary funds. This period is now taken into account when calculating pensions. Therefore, in the future these people will receive government support.
Attention! For people undergoing training at various institutions before 2001, there is a chance to include this period in their total experience.
At the technical school
Work experience also includes the process of preparing for a profession. But the answer to the question of whether the period of study at a technical school is counted towards experience can be answered in the negative.
At the university and institute
There are some exceptions to the rules under which studying at a higher education institution 
included in the work experience. This applies to the following situations:
- If the student is studying full-time e, but at the same time officially works at any enterprise.
- The man already worked officially, and after that he entered the university. But in this case, there must be a corresponding entry in the work book.
- No official employment, and never happened, but every month a person makes a voluntary contribution to the Pension Fund account.
Peculiarity last option is that a person decides to make payments on his own. If he does this for seven years, then he is protected for 3.5 years.
If such a desire arises, you need to visit the Pension Fund and conclude an official agreement. The institution's specialists carry out calculations to determine how much money a person should deposit into the account each month.
It is not necessary to make payments monthly. If it is not possible to pay frequently, you can pay the amount designated by the fund once, at the end of the year.
A special co-financing program is being developed. It is thanks to her that you can make contributions as you wish. This opportunity is provided to both working people and housewives. Anyone who is officially employed can increase the size of future pension payments.
This is due to the fact that people who receive a profession in institutions of this kind receive the status of military personnel undergoing conscription training.
Postgraduate and Internship
In graduate school, a person is prepared to obtain the highest level of qualifications. In this case, a person does not just study, but works on a subject, prepares to write a dissertation, or carries out other activities. Often graduate students remain at universities as teachers.
But the laws Russian Federation do not take this fact into account and include it in studies. Therefore, this period is not included in the length of service, which may affect the calculation of future payments.
This feature also applies to residency. Since when passing it, a person is taken away from work and is included in the training system.
Only internship can be included in the experience. Although this is a form of training, the person still works in his specialty. Intern doctors undergo official employment, work and receive payment for their work, and also pay contributions to the Pension Fund. Therefore, they have the same rights and benefits as other employees.
If a person combines graduate school and residency with work and performs job descriptions, then this will be considered experience. Typically, such a bonus goes to teachers, psychologists, pedagogues, medical workers.They are able to combine careers with studies and are approaching retirement.
Informal employment does not in any way affect the indicators of work experience.
Studying in which institutions is included in the work experience
There are certain institutions, during training in which a person gets the opportunity to increase his experience. This applies to schools of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
These systems pay for education in specialized institutions, so study is equated to work.
There are also certain circumstances regarding training in the Soviet period. According to the 2003 resolution, a person has the right to apply the legislation that was in force at that time.
If there are conditions for accruing work experience for studies, this must be confirmed with the help of special documents. It is necessary to check that all entries are in the work book, and that the Pension Fund has confirmation of contributions. If the student voluntarily paid fees, he must provide an agreement indicating the terms and amounts of contributions. Without these documents, it will not be possible to include the time spent on study into the length of service.
More more information on the topic of the article in the video story:
Some types of training count toward work experience. This is possible if a person studies at an institute and at the same time officially works, and also undergoes training in certain institutions. The same applies to internships, as the student does the work. It is quite possible not to work officially and gain experience, but for this you will have to make contributions to the Pension Fund. The required amount is calculated by the fund's employees. A person is told how much he must pay for the year and he decides whether to pay every month or pay everything at once.
How closer person approaches the moment of retirement (retirement), the more questions he has. The most frequently asked question: is the period of study included in the work experience? To understand in detail the nuance: whether years of study are included in the length of service, first let’s find out what kind of experience we are interested in: insurance or labor, what are the differences between them.
- When is study included in work experience?
The phrase “insurance period” became part of our everyday life in 2002. Before that, citizens were faced exclusively with work experience.
Seniority was calculated by the years of official employment of a citizen, as well as the time of his study in various educational institutions (except schools).
Definition insurance period consist of insurance premiums paid by a person regardless of his employment, training, etc. That is, the insurance premium can be calculated by the employer from the salaries of officially registered employees. Or maybe a person pays it himself voluntarily, even without officially working anywhere. The main thing is to regularly contact the official account of the person (employee).
All the nuances of this issue are spelled out in detail and explained in Article 12 of the Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ. According to this article of the Law, pensions are calculated today.
Until the end of 2001, the answer to the question: is study included in the overall work experience was positive. At the same time, a positive answer was also implied to the question: is the length of service included? studying at a vocational school, and to the question: does the experience include studying in technical school. Definitely Studying at the University included in the work experience.
But whether to take years of study into account for calculating pension payments or not is a completely different question. Indeed, according to the law, a formula has been developed for retirement and determining its size that regulates the calculation of pension payments. To do this, it is necessary to select a certain period of employment when a person made the largest contributions to the PF (Pension Fund of the Russian Federation). Naturally, the higher the salary, the greater the contributions to the Pension Fund. And taking study time is not at all profitable, because during this period, savings in the Pension Fund are either completely absent or minimal.
PF workers considered the most profitable periods of employment for a person for the maximum possible pension amount ( cm. ).
New law“On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation” dated December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ slightly changes the moments of assigning pension payments and explains the meaning of the insurance period. In this document, the concept of “work experience” is replaced by the phrase “insurance period”. It is the insurance period that is taken into account when calculating pension payments to a citizen. According to Art. 10 and 11 No. 173-FZ, years of study are not taken into account when forming insurance experience.
This innovation is explained by the fact that during study, insurance contributions to the Pension Fund are not paid, and accordingly there is no need to take this time into account in the length of service. Therefore, the question is: is study included in the insurance period? lost its relevance.
Who counted years of study for work experience?
Years of study were counted toward the length of service for those who retired before 2002. But in reality, taking a period of study to calculate pensions was unprofitable.
Modern legislation - when study is included in work experience
Modern legislation has some nuances in the question of whether study is included in the length of service for a pension. We will analyze these features with you.
Studying at an institute is included in the insurance period, just as studying at a college is included in the period of service in the following cases:
- During the period of study at the university, the student is officially registered for work under an employment contract, the employer pays insurance premiums for him.
- While studying at a school (vocational school), college, lyceum, etc. the student gets a job under an employment contract. and according to our legislation, a citizen has the right to work from the age of 14.
Interesting fact! Studying at a military university or school implies the opportunity to enter into a contract and perform military service. In this case, study will also be included in the insurance period.
Thus, training is included in the insurance period if a person during training signed an employment contract and worked.
If the citizen was just studying and did not work anywhere at that time, then Studying at the institute is not included in the experience.
Interesting moment! If a student did not work anywhere during his studies, but paid insurance contributions to the Pension Fund, then the period of study will also be included in the insurance period.
If study involves practice, during which the student receives wages and pays insurance contributions to the Pension Fund, this period is also included in the insurance period.
A student who registered a business during his studies and paid contributions will also receive this period in his insurance record upon retirement.
What documents need to be provided
All of the above nuances must be documented when applying for a pension.
The period of time when a citizen combined work and study must be confirmed by an entry in the work book and a confirming document from the Pension Fund on the payment of insurance contributions.
If the student did not work, but paid insurance contributions, the Pension Fund takes the corresponding agreement, which was concluded at that time and which stipulates the terms and amounts of contributions.
In the case of entrepreneurial activity, it is necessary to provide a document on the formation of entrepreneurship and a document from the Pension Fund on the payment of contributions.
The amount of payments for the period directly depends on the accumulation of insurance experience. The question: whether years of study are included in the insurance period for sick leave or not is of interest to many.
A student who devoted himself only to his studies, without working anywhere or paying fees, will not receive a period of study and sick leave payments during his insurance period.
In the case when a student studied and paid fees, the years of his studies are counted towards the length of service, and payments for sick leave will be big.
Modern legislation implies that the years of study are included in the insurance period if the student regularly paid insurance premiums at that time.
For future retirees, one of the pressing questions is: is studying at a university included in the length of service and how can this affect the amount of pension benefits?
In order to give a clear answer, you need to understand what exactly the concept of “work experience” includes.

What is taken into account when calculating pensions
Until recently, studying at a university, technical school, college, residency or graduate school was necessarily taken into account when calculating a pension. After amendments were made to the Federal Law of the Russian Federation on pensions, this period no longer in any way affects the amount of pension payments.
When determining the right to a pension or its amount, the following factors are of decisive importance:
- Insurance experience. This is the total period of work during which periodic payments were made to the Pension Fund in the amount established by law. If a person, for some reason, did not have the opportunity to work (non-insurance time), this period is also counted as an insurance period. But this is only possible if non-insurance period the person was officially employed with the payment of contributions to the Pension Fund. The insurance period also includes the period of time when a person was registered as an individual entrepreneur.
- Total work experience. The total period of work or the period of engaging in socially useful activities for the period until January 2002.
In addition, I would also like to note that the length of service also includes:
- Leave to care for a child, the duration of which in total is no more than 6 years.
- Period of military service.
- The length of time a person served a sentence in prison.
- The period of time spent caring for a disabled person.
- Time of official registration on the employment exchange.
From all of the above, studying at a university is not taken into account when calculating a pension. Even if a student receives a scholarship, study is not included in the experience.
An exception
As you know, there are no rules to which there are no exceptions. Exactly the same in in this case. There are exceptions when studying at a university is included in the work experience for calculating:
- A full-time student is officially employed at the same time.
- Studying at a university is included in the work experience in Russia if, before entering the university, the future student was already officially employed, about which there is a record in his work book.
- A person who is not officially employed and does not have a permanent place of work, but independently, of his own free will, makes monthly contributions to the Pension Fund (as many housewives in our country do).
I would like to dwell on the last point in a little more detail.
The peculiarity is that if a person independently pays contributions to the Pension Fund, for example, for 7 years, then only 3.5 years of insurance experience will be credited to him.
If such a decision has been made, you must contact the Pension Fund, explain your intention and conclude an official agreement.
The fund's specialists will calculate how much you need to pay throughout the year.
If desired, contributions can be made every month until a set date, or you can do it once at the end of the current year.
A special co-financing program has been developed, the essence of which is that anyone can independently pay contributions to the pension fund.
This applies to both unemployed and officially employed people. In the second case, using this program you can increase the size of your future pension.
What should be the minimum insurance period?
On January 1, 2015, a special pension formula came into force, according to which each year the period of insurance coverage required for retirement increases by 1 year.
For example, if in 2015 in order for a person to have the right to receive a pension, his insurance period must be at least 7 years, then in 2024 it will be increased to 15 years.
If the insurance period is not enough, a person can retire 5 years later: women at 60 years old, and men at 65 years old.
In addition, I would also like to note that if a person has achieved retirement age and has the required amount of insurance experience, but does not retire; for each “overdue” year, his pension increases by 5%.
In order to avoid getting into trouble and not drowning in a sea of new information about your future pension, it is best to contact a Pension Fund specialist. Here you can get not only reliable information, but also practical advice.
The video discusses whether training counts towards pensionable service:
Submit your question in the form below
Will time spent obtaining vocational education be counted in light of the new rules? There are two important factors.
The inclusion of periods of study (receiving vocational education) in the pension period is perhaps the most controversial in the current legislation.
So will these periods count in light of the new rules?
In 2019, the minimum length of insurance coverage for a pension will increase by one year and will be 10 years. This means that even those who reach the increased retirement age next year will not be able to receive a pension unless they confirm the 10-year minimum of service.
At the same time, the law allows studies to be included in such length of service only for those who received vocational education before 2002. This is the first factor. And the second - until 1992, studying at a university is counted towards pension experience only on the condition that immediately before it the person either served in the army or worked.
Now - about the nuances. The fact is that length of service in pension legislation is understood in several meanings:
The length of service that gives the right to an insurance pension (insurance period),
Experience that gives the right to early assignment of a pension (so-called preferential or special insurance experience).
So, this is what we're talking about now on the inclusion of studies in the total length of service (i.e., in the insurance period for assigning a pension and the total length of service for calculating the pension).
Came into effect on January 1, 2002 the federal law“On labor pensions in the Russian Federation.” And studies stopped turning on in the required length of service for granting an old-age pension(in 2019 this is 10 years). Now the length of service includes only periods of work for which insurance contributions were transferred to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, and a number of other periods expressly specified in the law (caring for a disabled person, child, etc. - that is, “non-insurance periods”).
If a person has periods of study before January 1, 2002, they can be included in the insurance period for the purpose of a pension. Studying in vocational and secondary specialized educational institutions is included unconditionally. And studying at universities is subject to one condition: before January 1, 1992, it is required that the period of study at an institute, university, etc. was preceded by either work under an employment contract, or service in the army or other units equivalent to the armed forces (militia, KGB, NKVD, etc.).
After January 1, 1992, this condition was canceled, so it does not apply to studies after this date.
IMPORTANT! Require inclusion of studies into insurance period to assign a pension is beneficial only to those who do not have the minimum length of service (10 years as of 2019). If you already have it, then you don’t have to waste time on it.
And here total work experience is determined as of January 1, 2002 and is of great importance because it directly affects the size of the pension. Therefore, here study can affect the level of pension provision.
So, if in the Soviet period a citizen had a high salary, then it is beneficial for him to calculate his pension according to the option when study is not included in the length of service. For those who had a low pension, a suitable option is to include periods of study in their work experience, which will compensate for the lack of earnings due to work experience and will allow the person to receive a higher pension.
