Can I buy additional insurance experience for my pension?

I recently found out that a certain amount of insurance experience is required to apply for a pension, and I'm a bit short. Can I really 'buy' the necessary insurance experience? What is the procedure for this, how much might it cost, and are there any limitations or nuances when voluntarily participating in the pension system?

Military service insurance record for 2000–2016 in the PFU

I served in the military from 2003 to 2010 and want to make sure this period is included in my insurance record for pension calculation. Since information for these years is not displayed in the regular section of the insurance record on the Pension Fund portal, and must be sought in separate certificates, please tell me, is this record always automatically credited, and how can I ensure that everything is correctly accounted for pension payments?

Processing of disability pension in 2025

I see that in order to receive a disability pension, one must have a certain insurance period and confirm the disability group, and from 2025 disability will be established by special expert teams in medical institutions. I am wondering: if disability is established after dismissal from work, do I have the right to apply for a disability pension and exactly what documents need to be prepared in this case to avoid refusal by the Pension Fund?

What insurance period is required for a pension in 2026?

I'm a bit confused by these new pension rules. If I reach retirement age, for example, in 2025, but apply for pension processing only in 2026, what specific insurance period will be required from me? Will the conditions for 2025 apply or the new requirements for 2026?

Insurance period for pension in 2026

I read that to retire in 2026, one needs to have a certain amount of insurance period – 33 years for 60 years old, 23 years for 63 years old, and 15 years for 65 years old. However, if a person reached the appropriate age in 2025 but applies for a pension in 2026, the insurance period requirements are different. Please tell me, which insurance period will be taken into account in such a situation – the one that was in effect at the time of reaching the age, or the one that is in effect at the time of applying for a pension?

Insurance record during unpaid leave

I am currently on unpaid leave and am not receiving a salary. Could you please tell me if I independently pay the minimum voluntary contribution to the Pension Fund for this period, will the entire month be fully credited towards my insurance record for a future pension? Are there any additional conditions or risks I should be aware of to ensure these months are definitely included in my record?
