Work experience alone may not guarantee pension benefits for some Russians, causing concern.
Getting Your Hands on Your Russian Pension: Here's the Truth About Insurance Benefits
Think you're entitled to that old-age insurance pension after putting in your required years of work? Think again, folks! Legal eagle, Irina Sivakova, via her Telegram channel (18+), warns that there's a snag that could see you high and dry when those pension payments come rolling in. PrimaMedia news agency reports the nitty-gritty details.
It turns out that having sufficient work history ain't the be-all and end-all for an insurance pension. Alongside 15 years of bona fide work, you need to accrue a minimum number of pension coefficients - individual pension coefficients (IPC). The number of these coins depends on the size of the legitimate salary from which insurance contributions were taken.

If your wage was on the scant side, or part of it was pocketed "off the books," the number of accrued coefficients might not be enough. If that's the case, even with a hefty work history, a person could be denied an insurance pension, should they not have amassed 30 IPC by the time they call it a career.
Professionals urge checking your pension account balance in advance and ensuring that insurance contributions are paid up in full.
