I. FEDERAL LAWS of the Russian Federation 1. УON INTRODUCING AMENDMENTS TO THE FEDERAL LAWS УON MAKING INVESTMENTS TO FINANCE THE FUNDED COMPONENT OF LABOR PENSION IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATIONФ, УON NON-GOVERNMENT PENSION FUNDSФ AND УON INDIVIDUAL (PERSONALIZED) RECORDS IN THE MANDATORY PENSION INSURANCE SYSTEMФФ as of May 2005, No 48-FZ The newly adopted law changes the procedures and timelines established for the citizensТ execution of their right to make a choice of an asset management company or a non-government pension fund for providing them with mandatory pension insurance, and their right to switchover to the RF Pension Fund from a non-government pension fund.

Thus, the timeline for the execution, by the RF Pension Fund, of its annual duty to send to insured persons the information concerning the status of the special part of their individual personal accounts and the results of investing the pension savings: this information must be sent to the citizens no later than on 1 September (previously - no later than on 1 July). As the same time, the application of an insured person concerning his or her choice of an asset management company must be submitted to the RF Pension Fund no later than on 31 December of a current year, instead of on 1 October, as it had been established previously, and to be considered by the Pension Fund before 1 March of the next year, instead of before 1 December of a current year. Similarly were changed the timelines for an insured personТs switchover from a non-government pension fund to the RF Pension Fund.

According to the changes in the calendar timelines for informing an insured person and for this personТs making a choice of an asset management company, the procedure for calculating the sum of pension savings being transferred, with the RF Pension FundТs participation, from one asset management company to another was also changed. In the event of an insured personТs switchover from one company to another, the sum of pension savings is to be calculated as of 1 January of the year following the year during which the application concerning the choice an asset management company was submitted, and not as of 1 January of Уa current yearФ, i.e., with taking into account the changes in the said sum that occurred during that year.

The procedure for an insured person submitting an application as to his or her choice of an asset management company, or a switchover from the RF Pension Fund to a non-government pension fund or vice versa, or a switchover from one non-government pension fund to another, was changed. The application forms and the guidelines for their filling-up are to be sent to insured persons with the information concerning the state of their personal accounts and the results of pension savings investment no later than on 1 September of a current year. An insured person may submit an application to the RF Pension Fund or to its territorial agency, and, in contrast to the previously established procedure, to any territorial agency and not only to that at the place of his or her residence; the application to the RF Pension Fund - can be also submitted in an electronic form. In the event of an insured person submitting to the RF Pension Fund, during the established period, of more than one application concerning his or her switchover from one non-government pension fund to another, or an application concerning his or her choice of an investment portfolio (or an asset management company), the RF Pension Fund makes the decision as to whether this application should be approved or declined (if the procedure for submitting the application has not been complied with, or if the fund is chosen whose license has been annulled, etc.) on the basis of the application with the latest date of its receipt by the RF Pension Fund.

In the previous version of the Federal Law УOn non-government pension fundsФ, the procedure for settling such cases was envisaged only when several applications had been submitted during one year with respect to the switchover from the RF Pension Fund to non-government pension funds, and it was designed differently - the application was accepted for consideration with the earliest date of its registration at the RF Pension FundТs agency.

An important change has been made in respect to certain categories of insured person - males over 55 years of age and females over 50 years of age. The procedure for the execution of the right to switchover from one non-government pension fund to another for these categories of citizens is to be established by a special federal law; a similar norm was established previously in respect to the execution of the right of such citizens to a switchover from the RF Pension Fund to a non-government pension fund, or to a switchover from a non-government pension fund to the RF Pension Fund.

The introduced changes regulate the procedure for the payment of pension savings to the legal successors of a deceased insured person (to persons previously specified by the deceased, or to the categories of their next of kin listed in the Federal Law УOn labor pensions in the Russian FederationФ).

Pension savings are to be paid to legal successors on the condition that they apply for such a payment to the RF Pension Fund or to a non-government pension fund within six months after an insured personТs death. If this condition is not complied with, the right thereto can be reestablished in the judicial procedure. The procedure for the application of the legal successors of deceased insured persons for these payments, as well as the procedure, timelines and periods for the making of such payments, and the procedure for calculating the amounts to be paid are to be established by the RF Government. The RF Government is also to establish the procedure for transferring pension savings from a nongovernment pension fund to the RF Pension Fund in the event when there are legal successors to a deceased insured person.
