The final age limit for service in each rank will be determined as the retirement age.

According to “Elchi”, this is reflected in the proposed amendment to the law “On Labor Pensions” discussed at today’s Milli Majlis session.

According to the current law, the following military personnel (excluding military personnel deprived of military ranks, and conscripts of actual military service) have the right to an old-age labor pension as a military servant from the day they are discharged from military service:

– Military personnel who have served 25 calendar years or more before being discharged from military service;

– Persons discharged from military service due to age, who have a total work experience of 30 calendar years or more as of the day of discharge, at least 15 years of which were spent in military service;

– Persons discharged from military service due to illness or health limitations, as well as staff reductions, who are 48 years of age or older as of the day of discharge, have a total work experience of 30 calendar years or more, at least 15 years of which were spent in military service;

– Military personnel who participated in the elimination of the consequences of the Chernobyl NPP accident in the exclusion zone for 15 calendar years or more of military service.

According to the draft, the following military personnel (excluding military personnel deprived of military ranks, and conscripts of actual military service) discharged from military service will have the right to an old-age labor pension as a military servant from the day they reach the final age limit for service in peacetime for their last rank, as determined by law:

– Military personnel who have served 25 calendar years or more (for military personnel who have served at least 17 calendar years by January 1, 2024, and are discharged before completing 25 calendar years of service, it is 20 calendar years) and more before being discharged from military service;

– Persons who have a total work experience of 30 calendar years or more as of the day of discharge from military service, at least 15 years of which were spent in military service.

Currently, old-age labor pensions for military personnel are assigned after their discharge from military service. Except for persons who have served at least 72 months from the date of re-admission to military service, who have been reinstated to military service by a court decision that has entered into legal force, and who died while performing military service duties, including officers, labor pensioners who have been re-admitted to military service and discharged after being assigned an old-age labor pension as a military servant are not allowed to recalculate their labor pension based on the last guarantee payment.

According to the draft, old-age labor pensions for military personnel, as well as monthly pension supplements, will be assigned after their discharge from military service.

Except for persons who have served at least 72 months from the date of re-admission to military service, who have been reinstated to military service by a court decision that has entered into legal force, and who died while performing military service duties, including officers, labor pensioners who have been re-admitted to military service and discharged after being assigned an old-age labor pension as a military servant will not be allowed to recalculate their labor pension based on the last guarantee payment, and their monthly pension supplement based on their last rank.

The procedure for submitting information about income subject to mandatory state social insurance during the military service period for the calculation of the insurance part of old-age and disability labor pensions of military personnel in the system of the relevant executive authority determined by the body (institution) that grants the right to a labor pension will be determined by the relevant executive authority.

The bill was put to a vote and adopted in the third reading.
