The most popular questions and answers regarding benefits for pensioners

Question: Good afternoon. My name is Antonina Sergeevna. I am 70 years old. I am labor veteran. What's the latest news about benefits for pensioners in 2018? Will there be a long-awaited indexation of old-age benefits this year?

Answer: Hello, Antonina Sergeevna. Every pensioner should know that benefits are provided in two directions: federal and regional. The list of government concessions has not changed significantly. The list of regional ones is periodically updated depending on the applicant’s place of residence. For example, in Moscow, Having a social card in hand, a labor veteran has the right to use railway transport for free.

As for indexation, according to government officials, the review of payments will be carried out twice during the year - in February and April.

Title "Veteran of Labor"

A labor veteran is a citizen who has worked for many years and has been awarded the appropriate regalia by the state.

This title was first enshrined in the Law “On Veterans” dated January 12, 1995 No. 5-FZ. Before this, in the USSR, there was no title of “Veteran of Labor”, but only a medal “Veteran of Labor”, which was awarded to citizens as moral encouragement. This medal itself did not provide any benefits or privileges.

In the Russian Federation, after reaching retirement age (and in connection with the beginning of the implementation of the pension reform - upon reaching the pre-retirement age of 55 and 60 years for women and men, respectively), labor veterans are entitled to social support measures, various compensations and payments.

Law on Labor Veterans of the Russian Federation

When retirement age approaches, many citizens begin to look for reasons why they can be assigned the title of “Veteran of Labor” (See. How to apply for and receive the title of labor veteran? Who is assigned (experience)?). And it’s better at the federal level. And now the treasured crusts have been received. What's next?

The Law on Labor Veterans in Article 7 establishes that labor veterans include the following categories of citizens:

• received the title “Veteran of Labor”;
• awarded an order or medal, or awarded honorary titles of the USSR/RF and having the work experience necessary to grant an old-age or long-service pension;
• those whose working activity began as a minor during the Second World War, and who have a work experience of 40 years for men and 35 years for women.

The law also contains an article regarding how federal policy regarding veterans is carried out.

Firstly, it is planned to create appropriate units in government agencies that would deal with veterans' affairs.

Secondly, the federal legislator assumes that all the necessary funds for the implementation of social policy regarding veterans will be available at both the federal and regional levels.

Despite the fact that many entities, due to lack of funding, are curtailing their social programs to support labor veterans, the federal legislator still remains in his firm position. For example, the 50% compensation for utility bills, which is so widely discussed among the masses, is still in effect.

What benefits does a federal labor veteran have?

Basic benefits for labor veterans are not established at the federal level. Thus, Law No. 5-FZ “On Veterans” in Article 22 clearly states that the list of benefits is established by the subjects independently.

But if we summarize the legislation of different regions, we can highlight the following benefits for labor veterans:

• Free travel on all types of public transport.
• Payment of 50% of utilities.
• Providing leave at a time convenient for the veteran.
• Free production and repair of dentures in public health care institutions (meaning only the service).
• Free healthcare services, etc.

What other benefits does a labor veteran enjoy?

In addition to federal benefits, there are also regional benefits that a veteran can apply for. They are established by regulatory legal acts of a subject of the Russian Federation and are subject to execution exclusively in this subject.

Benefits for labor veterans in many regions are associated with the provision of an old-age (disability) pension; in the light of the pension reform, these provisions may also be revised (changed to reach pre-retirement age). Therefore, you can often find social benefits in the regions that are assigned to citizens after reaching retirement age.

Let's look at the example of St. Petersburg, where the following benefits are established for labor veterans of the Russian Federation:

Don't know your rights?

• Monthly cash payment.
• Payment for housing in the amount of 50% of the occupied total area of ​​residential premises within the limits of social norms.
• 50% discount on utility bills, etc.

The number of benefits for labor veterans depends on the possibilities of regional funding.

Supplement to pensions for labor veterans of the Russian Federation

If a labor veteran receives a labor pension and its amount is below the subsistence level provided for in the region of his residence, then he is entitled to a regional social supplement to the pension.

In addition, if a labor veteran refuses a set of social services (the so-called monetization of benefits under 122-FZ), then he is entitled to an additional pension in the form of the cash equivalent of these services. But in order to refuse services, you must write a corresponding application to the pension fund authorities before October of the current year.

Subjects of the Russian Federation may establish additional pension supplements for labor veterans. An example of this is Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Let's look at the issue of indexing pensions for pensioners (including those with the title “Veteran of Labor”). In January 2020, insurance pensions were indexed by 6.6%.

Let's look at this using a monetary example.

On average, in January 2020, the size of the insurance pension increased by 1,000 rubles. Agree, pension indexation is a pretty good help for labor veterans.

Tax benefits for labor veterans

Tax legislation establishes a list of the following benefits for labor veterans:

1. A pensioner who owns real estate, in accordance with the Law “On Property Taxes for Individuals,” is exempt from property tax.
2. Part of the income of labor veterans is exempt from personal income tax:
   . pensions and social supplements to them;
   . the amount of financial assistance paid by the former employer (but not more than 4,000 rubles per year);
   . amounts that were spent on paying for sanatorium-resort treatment from one’s own funds.
3. Transfer of balances of property tax deductions for personal income tax to previous tax periods. A veteran who has confirmed ownership of acquired real estate or land can receive a property deduction for expenses incurred and for the payment of interest on a targeted loan or loan in the amount of 2 million rubles. and 3 million rubles. respectively. Deductions can be obtained for 3 tax periods preceding the period in which the carryover balance of the property deduction was formed.
4. As for transport and land taxes, they are established by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation independently. Accordingly, benefits for labor veterans can be established by the regulatory legal acts of the subject.

Benefits for labor veterans in Moscow

The benefits for veterans in Moscow are as follows:

• Free travel on public transport.
• 50% cash compensation for telephone fees.
• Discount on utility bills of 50% (within social standards).
• Free travel on commuter rail (previously there was a 50% seasonal discount).
• Monthly city cash payment (247 rubles), taking into account annual indexation.
• If there are medical indications - free sanatorium-resort treatment and reimbursement of travel expenses to the place of treatment and back (by rail only).

Monetization of benefits for labor veterans

Monetization applies only to federal beneficiaries. 3 types of benefits are converted into cash equivalent: transportation, medication and sanatorium-resort treatment.

At the regional level, the legislator acts differently: in some regions, monetization of benefits is allowed on an application basis, while in others benefits are issued as is.

The monetization of benefits did not suit all segments of the population.

On the one hand, carriers in the transport sector, for example, were happy: they finally saw a “real” profit, and not a belated transfer of funds from the budget.

On the other hand, those citizens who had the right to receive free, scarce medicines now have the money to purchase these medicines on their own.

But the amount of monetary compensation was small, which upset most of the population.

However, if a labor veteran refuses benefits in favor of their cash equivalent, this will be a good addition to his pension.

Thus, if you nevertheless received the title “Veteran of Labor,” you have the right to apply for both federal and regional benefits, allowances and payments. You can find out what benefits you are entitled to at your place of residence from the social security authorities. Federal benefits are scattered across various laws - for example 5-FZ, 122-FZ - and require more careful study.
