Common Mistakes

Error: The WWII veteran was buried at the expense of relatives.

The May holidays and Victory Day are approaching, so many pensioners expect that the state will not forget about them and will pay additional money to their pensions. Officials really planned such a payment, and even its size is known - 10,000 rubles. But who exactly is entitled to the payment on Victory Day and how to get it? Let's figure it out together.

ATTENTION!

?

May 9 Victory Day is a special holiday for all of us also because there are living people next to us who created this Victory with their own hands. It was they, the veterans, who managed to survive and make sure that our parents, ourselves, our children, grandchildren and all other descendants were born under a peaceful sky. Gratitude for this is difficult to measure materially, especially when it comes to the state, whose honor and freedom these people were able to adequately defend.

Thanks for the Victory

But at least once a year, officials remember that they need to thank the veterans of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 and all those who could survive it. Therefore, every year the president issues a decree on the payment of one-time assistance to veterans by the next anniversary of the Second World War, and the government issues a decree on who and in what amount such payments are due. 2018 was no exception. Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2018 No. 195 “On a one-time payment to certain categories of citizens of the Russian Federation in connection with the 73rd anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945” was adopted on May 6.

Let's see who gets the money?

Lump Recipients

In May 2018, almost 110,000 citizens of the Russian Federation of retirement age should receive a one-time assistance in the amount of 10,000 rubles. These will be not only pensioners from Russia, but also our fellow citizens from the Baltic countries:

  • Republic of Latvia,
  • Republic of Lithuania,
  • Republic of Estonia.

Unfortunately, it was in these countries that WWII veterans were practically outlawed, so Russia took on the functions of supporting them. In connection with the 73rd anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, officials will pay money to the following categories of citizens:

  • veterans of the Great Patriotic War and persons equated to them;
  • WWII invalids,

who live in Russia or in the Baltic states listed above. At the same time, pensioners who were born between 06/22/1928 and 09/03/1945 and belong to the category of "children of war", unfortunately, are not entitled to this payment. The children of war and their defenders have long been seeking recognition from the state that they suffered significantly from the Second World War and are entitled to state support and benefits on an equal basis with veterans, but so far no definite decision has been made on their issue at the federal level. No, they, of course, have a number of benefits, for example, for treatment, but they are not yet entitled to one-time federal assistance for Victory Day.

How and when to get 10,000 rubles

The President adopted the Decree. The government must ensure its implementation. Simply put, to make sure that all war veterans and disabled people receive this money on time and in full.

Payments to veterans and invalids of the Great Patriotic War on the territory of Russia will be carried out by the territorial offices of the Pension Fund. They have lists of all pensioners and veterans, so there is no need to write any additional applications. The funds will be sent to veterans in the way they usually receive their pension: to a bank card, to a current account or in cash to the post office.

At first they promised that all veterans should receive 10,000 in early May, even before the Victory Day. But the decree on this was signed only on May 6, and the Government Decree, although it was adopted promptly, came into force only on May 15. And the FIU said that the payments will take place in May and June. Therefore, if you or your relatives have not yet received the required 10,000 rubles, then you will have to wait a bit. But really a little - very soon the money will come to you.

Veterans from Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will also be paid lump-sum payments by May 9 by the PFR with the help of the Ministry of Defense and support departments at the embassies (consular departments of embassies) of the Russian Federation in the Baltic states. The money will be paid in cash or sent by transfer, also according to the lists at the disposal of the officials. So neither the pensioners themselves nor their relatives need to worry about collecting documents and writing an application.

Help children of war

Although pensioners who were children during the war years will not receive federal payments, they have a chance to receive support from regional authorities. In many constituent entities of the Russian Federation, at the local level, legal acts have been adopted on monetary payments for Victory Day to children of war. For example, in 2018, pensioners-children of war who live in the Ulyanovsk, Vladimir and Irkutsk regions, Moscow and St. Petersburg can expect from the authorities from 1,000 to 2,000 rubles. It is quite possible that other regions will decide to pay the children of the war money for the holiday.

The Moscow authorities have decided on cash payments to veterans of the Great Patriotic War on Victory Day. The corresponding order was adopted during a meeting of the presidium of the government of the capital.

The traditional annual payments will be received by disabled people and participants in the Second World War. Among them are military personnel awarded orders and medals of the USSR for service from June 22, 1941 to September 3, 1945, as well as the medal "For the Defense of Leningrad", participants in the defense of Moscow, former prisoners of camps, home front workers and widows of military personnel.

The amount of payments is from 3 to 10 thousand rubles, depending on the category of recipients. 158,715 people will receive the payment.

Not only Russians, but also Baltic veterans living in Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia will be able to receive payments by Victory Day 2020.

Pensioners will receive money in the usual way, in the same way as they usually take a pension:

  • cash in the mail;
  • transfer to a card or savings account;
  • the postman or social worker will deliver to the home address.

It is important to understand that payments to pensioners by Victory Day are due only if they have veteran status, that is, not all pensioners will receive an allowance.

From regional authorities

In connection with the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation provide for their lump-sum payments to veterans, home front workers and other categories of citizens. They annually determine those who will receive allowances in the field.


In the Irkutsk region, the Governor signed a Decree in which he decided to pay 10 thousand rubles to veterans and disabled veterans of the Second World War, minor prisoners and family members of the dead (deceased) participants, disabled veterans of the Great Patriotic War.

In the Volgograd Region, according to Decree No. 610-p dated December 9, 2019, war veterans and invalids will receive 5,000 rubles each, and home front workers, blockade survivors, underage prisoners and spouses of WWII participants - 1,000 rubles each. In addition to payments by May 9 home front workers, war children and other categories of beneficiaries, local authorities introduce special social support programs for the holiday, but residents are not ready to thank for all the initiatives.

In the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), in accordance with Decree No. 981 of January 24, 2020, the following additional payments will be made:

100 thousand rubles - disabled people, participants in the war;
30 thousand - to the widows of the dead participants in the Second World War, the blockade, underage prisoners;
20 thousand - to the widows of the deceased participants in the Second World War;
10 thousand - to home front veterans;
3 thousand - children of the war who have not reached the age of majority on September 3, 1945

From Aeroflot

Since 2001, the largest Russian air carrier has been holding an annual campaign to provide free flights for veterans.

From April 22 to May 13, 2020, a completely free flight, without charging commission fees, is provided:

  • in the economy class: veterans and disabled veterans of the Second World War, former juvenile prisoners of concentration camps;
  • in business and comfort class: to the heroes of the USSR and full cavaliers of the Order of Glory.

Privileges can be used not only by Russians, but also by those living in the CIS countries, Georgia and the Baltic states.

At the time of preparation of the article, it remains completely unclear who will receive the lump sum payment by Victory Day for sure, because there is no signed government decree and presidential decree. Probably, the documents will appear on the eve of the holiday.

In May 2018, the President and the Government of the Russian Federation plan to pay 10 thousand rubles each from the federal budget to more than 102 thousand Russian citizens of retirement age in honor of the 73rd anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Veterans of the Second World War can count on a significant increase in pensions. These are the two projects that are published on the unified portal of draft regulatory legal acts.

The legal instruction of the site will tell you who will be among the recipients of material assistance and how it will be carried out.

One-time payment by May 9

The Ministry of Labor of Russia submitted for public discussion a draft Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation on the implementation of a lump-sum payment to certain categories of citizens of the Russian Federation and a draft Decree of the President of Russia on the circle of persons who should receive this money. For these purposes, 1,034,68 billion rubles have been allocated from the budget, and 102,814 Russian citizens who took part in the Second World War and defeated fascism will be recipients of assistance for the holiday.

As follows from the text of the draft Decree of the President of Russia, the recipients of 10 thousand rubles will be not only Russian pensioners, but also Russians living in the Baltic states. The document, in particular, states that by May 9, 2018, a lump sum cash payment in connection with the 73rd anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 will be received by:

  • participants in the Second World War from among the persons specified in subparagraph 1 of paragraph 1 of Article 2 of the Federal Law "On Veterans", permanently residing in Russia;
  • participants in the Second World War who are citizens of the Russian Federation and permanently live in the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Latvia and the Republic of Lithuania;
  • WWII invalids.

Such a circle of recipients of the lump-sum payment in the Baltic countries is due to the fact that the authorities of these states do not recognize the role of the USSR in the victory in the Second World War and do not support veterans in any way. This is stated in the explanatory note to the Decree. Russia has been supporting veterans from the Baltic States for several years.

How will payments take place?

Discussion of draft regulatory legal acts will end on April 27, 2018, as stated in the notice on the single portal. After that, the documents will be approved, and in early May the funds will be sent to the recipients.

The Pension Fund will make payments in Russia through its territorial subdivisions. In the Baltic States, the Russian FIU, together with the Ministry of Defense, was also instructed to do this through the support departments at the embassies (consular departments of embassies) of Russia in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

There is no need to send any special applications to veterans from Russia or the Baltic states about receiving a lump sum payment by May 9. The PFR has up-to-date lists of all pensioners, including veterans and disabled veterans of the Second World War. Transfers will be made to Russian veterans by the usual way for them to receive a pension: to a plastic bank card, to a savings book or in cash. Most citizens will receive a payment by Victory Day along with a pension for May 2018. The money will be sent to the Baltic veterans by postal or bank transfers, the funds for the costs of sending are also included in the budget of the action.

But what about other pensioners?

Among Russian pensioners there are many citizens who did not directly participate in the Second World War, because they were born between June 22, 1928 and September 3, 1945 and were minors. This category of citizens is called Children of War, but, unfortunately, they are not provided with any payments for Victory Day from the federal budget in 2018. The authorities have been discussing preferences and financial support for the children of war for a long time, but have not yet come to a consensus.

In some constituent entities of the Russian Federation, this category of pensioners is supported at the level of local budgets: they make monthly supplements to pensions and allocate funds for lump sum payments on May 9 Victory Day. The amount of such assistance is much more modest - only up to 2 thousand rubles per person. In 2018, payments in honor of the 73rd anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War will definitely be received by war children living in the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as in Irkutsk, Ulyanovsk, Vladimir and some other regions. Whether there will be help by May 9 to children of the war in other regions of the Russian Federation at the time of writing this material is unknown.
