The economist spoke about the method of obtaining two pensions

Igor Balynin, an associate professor at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, told who in Russia can receive two pensions.

In conversation with aif.ru On Monday, April 6, he stressed that it was mainly about former military and law enforcement officers. The expert explained that former military personnel, as well as employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB and other departments, often continue to work in civilian organizations, where insurance premiums are paid for them, which allows them to qualify for an old-age pension as a second one. According to Balynin, in 2026, for her appointment, it is necessary to have at least 15 years of experience, 30 pension coefficients and reach the established retirement age — 64 years for men born in 1962 and 59 years for women born in 1967.

He added that to apply for a second pension, you need to apply to the Social Fund, the IFC, or through Gosuslugi. Such a pension is awarded without a fixed payment, but is subject to indexation and annual adjustment. In 2026, payments will increase twice: in January — by 7.6%, and in August — taking into account the accumulated coefficients. At the same time, according to the expert, both pensions for such citizens are indexed separately, each according to its own rules.
