Federal beneficiaries- these are categories of citizens who are provided with benefits and measures of social support on the basis of federal laws and are attributed to the powers of the federal level (Federal Law of July 17, 1999 No. 178-FZ "On State Social Assistance").
The Pension Fund of Russia carries out the following types payments to federal beneficiaries: monthly cash payment (UDV) and additional monthly material support (DEMO).

Monthly cash payment

Monthly cash payments are provided to certain categories of citizens from among veterans, disabled people, former juvenile prisoners of fascism, persons affected by radiation exposure.
If a citizen has the right to receive UA on several grounds within the framework of one law, UA is established on one basis, providing for a higher amount of payment.
If a citizen simultaneously has the right to UA under several federal laws or other regulations, he is granted one UA on one of the grounds at the choice of the citizen.

Who is entitled to two monthly cash payments?

Citizens who have been exposed to radiation and who are entitled to a CDU under the Law of the Russian Federation of May 15, 1991 No. 1244-1 “On the social protection of citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the Chernobyl disaster” and simultaneously under another regulatory legal act, two CDUs are established.
How and where to apply for EDV


EDV for minors or incapacitated

In cases where a monthly cash payment is assigned to a minor or incapacitated citizen, the application is submitted at the place of residence of his legal representative (parent, adoptive parent, guardian, trustee). In this case, if the parents of the child live separately, then the application is submitted at the place of residence of the parent with whom the child lives. A minor who has reached the age of 14 has the right to apply for the establishment of a monthly cash payment on his own.

Refusal or appointment of EDV

The appointment and payment of the UDV are made on the basis of a personal appeal of a citizen or his representative with an application and all necessary documents confirming the right to the UDV.
If necessary, documents proving the identity and authority of the legal representative (adoptive parent, guardian, trustee), confirming family relations, the presence of a disabled person as a dependent, etc., are attached.
A decision on the appointment or refusal to appoint a UDV is made within 10 working days from the date of receipt of the application. Another 5 days are given to inform the applicant about decision.

if you applied personally or through a representative, then the day of application is considered the day of receipt by the territorial authority pension fund Russian application with all necessary documents; if you sent the application by mail, then the day of the application is the date indicated on the postmark of the Russian Post at the place where this application was sent; if you applied through the Personal Account of a citizen on the website of the Pension Fund of Russia, then the day of application is considered the date of registration of the application in electronic form.

EDV indexing

For different categories of federal beneficiaries, the size of the UDV is different. The amount of the monthly cash payment is subject to indexation once a year.
The recalculation of the amount of the monthly cash payment to persons with disabilities is made when a higher or lower disability group is established. In this case, the recalculation of the amount of the unified income takes place in an undeclared manner on the basis of an extract from the certificate of examination received by the territorial body Pension Fund of Russia from the federal institution of medical and social expertise:
- upwards - from the date of establishment of the disability group, which gives the right to a higher amount of the unified income;
- downwards - from the 1st day of the month following the month in which the previous disability group was established, giving the right to a lower amount of the unified income.
Citizens receiving a monthly cash payment are required to immediately report to the territorial body of the Pension Fund of Russia about the circumstances affecting the change in the amount of the monthly cash payment, as well as leading to the termination of the monthly cash payment. For example, if another disability group is established.

Set of social services

The right to receive a set of social services (NSU) arises for a citizen from the date of establishing a monthly cash payment to him.
NSU is provided on a non-declared basis and includes medical, health resort and transport components. It is only necessary for citizens who belong to the category “exposed to radiation” to write an application for the provision of NSU.
When appointing the UDV, the territorial body of the Pension Fund of Russia issues to the citizen a certificate of the established form on the right to receive the NSU. The certificate indicates: the category of the beneficiary, the deadline for the appointment of a monthly cash payment, as well as social services to which the citizen is entitled in the current year. The certificate is valid throughout the Russian Federation.
IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
A set of social services is part of the monthly cash payment, and a citizen can choose in what form he receives NSI: in kind or in the form of its cash equivalent.
Upon receipt of the NSO in kind, its value is deducted from the amount of the established UA. If a citizen refuses to receive a set of social services in full, one social service or any two social services in favor of its monetary equivalent, their cost is not deducted from the amount of the UC. The monetary equivalent of a set of social services as part of the monthly cash payment is indexed annually.


It is enough to submit an application for a decision made once before October 1 of the current year. It will be effective January 1st. next year and until the citizen changes his choice. In this case, it will be necessary to apply with a new application directly to the territorial body of the Pension Fund of Russia at the place of residence or through the MFC, or online through the citizen’s Personal Account on the PFR website.

It does not matter when this disability was received.

Each country has its own privileged categories of citizens. They have special rights to support from the state. For example, for free provision of medicines or additional cash payments. What can be said about Russia in relation to this issue? Who is included in the privileged categories of the population? What type of support can be obtained in one case or another? Where and how are benefits issued? It's actually not that hard to figure it all out. It is more difficult to remember what bonuses are due to beneficiaries. Very often the list of these is huge.

Full list

In fact, there are more beneficiaries in Russia than it might seem. Not everyone knows in which cases citizens have special rights to social support. Now attention will be presented to an approximate list of privileged categories of citizens. Sometimes it is necessary to take into account the region where a person lives - somewhere bonuses from the state are given to certain segments of the population, somewhere not. Therefore, the issue requires a thorough study.

  • children under 3 years old;
  • disabled children;
  • disabled adults;
  • pensioners;
  • military;
  • large families;
  • needy;
  • the unemployed;
  • young families;
  • donors;
  • WWII).

Also, beneficiaries often include disabled citizens, dependents who have lost their breadwinner, military widows. Women on maternity leave and pregnant women sometimes also have special rights.

Children

Social protection of the population is a responsibility that is assigned to each state. It should somehow help those who live within a particular territory. It has already been said that each category of persons has its own benefits and bonuses from the state. But what exactly? About all a little in order.

Small children have special rights in Russia. They can ride for free public transport, if they do not occupy a separate place. Schoolchildren with the appropriate certificate are able to buy tickets at a reduced price.

Also in Russia there are preferential categories of citizens. Children under three are included in this list. True, not all medicines are given free of charge. It is recommended to find out the exact list at the clinic at the place of residence in which the child is attached. Many prescription drugs are given to children free of charge. Or sold at a discount to some extent.

Disabled children can receive a special pension. To do this, it is enough for parents to contact the so-called social service with a certain list of papers. Namely with:

  • statement;
  • legal representative's passport;
  • bank account details;
  • birth certificate of the child and marriage, if any;
  • health certificates for minors;
  • SNILSami of the legal representative and the baby.

Veterans

Social protection of the population is extremely important. The next category of citizens who are entitled to certain benefits in Russia are veterans. And any. The main list of benefits and social support, as in most cases, is regulated by regional level. That's why exact list the possibilities of certain beneficiaries must be clarified in each city.

Some veterans are eligible for free housing or land. For example, such an opportunity is listed for the citizens-heroes of the Russian Federation and the USSR. The rest of the veterans will have to provide housing for themselves on general conditions. This is the social protection of the population provided for in Russia. But that is not all!

Large families

The thing is that each category of the population has its own bonuses from the government. What is due to large families? Such people for a long time may receive various types of support. Starting with allowances and payments and ending with the provision of housing.

A large family is considered to be the presence in the family of three minor children. And it does not matter, adopted or relatives. The main thing is that minors are legally brought up in the cell of society.

Citizens basically everywhere have different bonuses. Large families have almost the same number of children as veterans. And they are the same everywhere. Regardless of the region of residence, large families have the right to:

  • provision of medicines;
  • payments due to children under 16;
  • all standard benefits for the birth of babies;

  • free housing;
  • obtaining a land plot in the region of residence free of charge;
  • benefits by September 1;
  • the opportunity for children to visit museums for free once a month (sometimes more).

Adults with disabilities

What can disabled people who are already 18 years old qualify for? Much depends on the group of disability. But in general, the social protection of the population belonging to this category is similar.

Adults with disabilities receive benefits when entering universities. They may also be awarded scholarships. This category of the population in without fail provided for the payment of a pension. Its size depends on the group of disability.

At work, disabled people are required to provide suitable conditions work, they cannot work in night shifts, overtime - only by personal consent. abbreviated work week and are also prescribed by law.

Often, citizens of preferential categories provide for the provision of housing or land. Disabled people are also among the main contenders.

Unemployed and needy

Preferential categories of citizens in Moscow and other cities often receive certain benefits and payments. They are also provided to the unemployed and needy people. Only the first category of persons - certain time. Namely, about 12 months. Everything depends on the situation.

To receive cash, the unemployed must register with the employment center. At the same time, they will receive But those who need this payment do not apply if they have a job. But you can contact the social support service of the population and receive benefits and allowances. Also, those in need will be helped to collect a certain list of documents that proves the need.

The unemployed cannot receive free land, but they are helped with finding a job - the employment center will offer a variety of vacancies to those who are listed as a person who does not fulfill their labor obligations.

pensioners

Beneficial categories of citizens are varied everywhere. In Russia, pensioners are considered eternal beneficiaries. Often they combine the status of the disabled, as well as the needy. What measures of social support are applied to them?

  • free provision of medicines (in some cases).

Service members are entitled to seniority pay. Widows of the military (not even of retirement age) before entering into a new officially registered relationship - a pension.

pregnant

It is clear what children of the privileged category of the population receive. And what about pregnant women and mothers with babies? This is also a kind of beneficiaries, albeit to a lesser extent.

Among the opportunities provided to girls in an "interesting" position, they single out the right to unimpeded employment with the lack of probationary period. Employers have no right to fire such women.

Social support of the population in relation to pregnant women is expressed in the form of various payments and benefits, as in most cases. Here non-working women apply to social services for:

  • allowance for caring for a baby up to one and a half years;
  • lump sum payment for birth;
  • allowance up to 3 years of age of the child (not everywhere);
  • governor and regional payments.

Where to apply for benefits

The list of privileged categories of citizens is already known. Some bonuses from the state for certain cases - too. And where to get them? The main provision of social support is the so-called social service. In it, everyone can learn about due benefits and get some payouts.

  • schools;
  • kindergartens;
  • city ​​administration (usually on land or housing issues);
