Help the families of fallen soldiers. Pension to the parents of a deceased soldier

Military personnel in the Russian Federation are people with a special status. Therefore, the state provides social benefits to the families of military personnel, which citizens of ordinary professions cannot count on. State support for people undergoing military or contract service in the army extends to various areas of life. This also applies to the improvement of living conditions, and benefits for the children of military personnel in relation to providing them with places in preschool institutions. In general, being a military man in Russia is very profitable. At the same time, not only the military personnel themselves, but also their relatives receive benefits. There are many social benefits for the military and their families. They often change, as do the conditions for obtaining them, so you need to periodically monitor the benefits in order not to miss the opportunity to make your life more comfortable.

Contract service benefits

Soldiers are divided into several categories. Among them there are those who have to do military service, and for others it is a job, as they have signed a contract and receive wages for their labor activity. There are certain social benefits for the families of servicemen of each category. They are prescribed in the Federal legislation and change no more than 2 times a year. For example, in 2015, changes were made on August 20. As a result, the list of benefits for contractors has been slightly changed.

For military personnel working under a contract, monetary compensation is provided for additional hours worked. Previously, this was supposed to be a day off. In addition, starting from 2010, for every 5 years of service, 5 additional days will be added to the vacation. For those military men who serve in the Far North, the vacation is extended immediately for 15 days. In this case, experience does not matter.

In addition, a soldier who has chosen the army as a permanent place of work can receive housing from the state. This becomes possible if his family is officially recognized as in need of better living conditions. The military is also entitled to subsidies, which are discounts on the purchase of real estate. While a person serves under a contract, he and his family have the right to use service square meters. After dismissal, the housing issue will be resolved by issuing a personal apartment or a subsidy.

Social benefits for contractors and their families also cover the scope of medical care. In this case, obtaining medical care in departmental institutions is possible absolutely free of charge.

Benefits for those who serve on conscription

Conscripts in our time have to serve only a year, but even during this period they are entitled to certain social benefits. First of all, it concerns the work experience. For each day spent in the army, 2 working days will be counted towards seniority.

During military service, the military are provided with medicines and receive medical care absolutely free of charge. Moreover, if there is a need for the treatment of conscripts, they can be sent to a sanatorium or hospital to receive the necessary medical care.

In addition, conscripts are entitled to benefits for travel and the use of mail.

Retirement Benefits

If a serviceman was transferred to the reserve due to a reduction in staff or due to age, that is, he retired, he and his family are entitled to receive certain social benefits.

First of all, this concerns the solution of the housing issue, which is very important for most Russian families. If a soldier retired, but at the same time served in the army for more than 10 years, he has the right to join the queue for a personal apartment. You can change your place in the queue for a subsidy, that is, a discount for buying real estate.

In addition, the military, transferred to the reserve, remains the right to receive treatment in departmental medical institutions. Also, the former military man is entitled to free vouchers to sanatoriums and travel to the place of treatment at the expense of the state. This right is available not only to the serviceman, but also to one of his relatives or accompanying person.

When transporting things while moving to a new place of residence, a former military man has the right to a free railway container, the weight of which will not exceed 20 tons. Or he can be compensated for the cost of transporting goods.

Benefits for relatives

Everyone knows that the military themselves have certain advantages, but few are aware of the benefits for the families of military personnel. A complete list of the numerous benefits that military spouses and parents can enjoy is spelled out in Russian Federal law.

The list of social benefits for relatives of the military includes not only medical services, but also labor bonuses, as well as the provision of housing and the absence of the need to stand in lines.

For example, spouses who do not have the opportunity to find a job in the locality where their soulmate serves, get the right to record the period of unemployment in their seniority. The number of years allowed depends on the place of service of the soldier. Most often, the period does not exceed 5 years. If the spouse of the military could not work due to the illness of the children, she is entitled to an allowance, which will be paid after the period of unemployment benefits ends.

Relatives of contractors have the right to treatment in departmental medical institutions. In addition, one of the family members can get to the place of vacation free of charge.

If a serviceman was fired or retired, and his family needs to move to a new place of residence, then the entire move will be absolutely free. This also applies to the transportation of things, and railway and bus tickets.

Social benefits for the family of the deceased military

If a soldier is killed, then his family has the right to use any type of transport at public expense when they have to make the move. In this case, they are also entitled to a 20-ton railway container for transporting things. If the use of the railway is not possible, any other mode of transport is allowed, except for air.

In the event that a serviceman has died and must be buried away from home, travel to this place for his family will be free, but the allowable number of people should not exceed three.

One of the family members of the deceased, that is, the wife or parent, has the right to use the railway transport once a year at the expense of the state.

The family of a deceased military man does not have the right to be evicted from a service apartment. If it is nevertheless necessary to vacate the premises, they must be provided with an equivalent living space. Spouses and parents who lived in the same apartment with a soldier are entitled to a discount on utility bills. In the case when the family lives in a private house with stove heating, discounts are relied on solid fuel and its free delivery to the place of use. Housing benefits apply not only to relatives of the dead military, but also to those who served in the army for more than 20 years and were transferred to the reserve.

Military families have the right to receive an apartment from the state. This applies to those military personnel who have served for more than 10 years. They have the right to stand in line for an apartment or receive a subsidy. Moreover, the relatives of the deceased do not lose this right. They can receive housing after the death of their spouse, son or daughter or parent.

In accordance with the Federal Law “On the Status of Servicemen”, the family members of the deceased include: spouse (husband); minor children; children over 18 who become disabled before they reach the age of 18; children under the age of 23 studying in educational institutions full-time; persons dependent on military personnel.
In the event of the death of a serviceman, members of his family are entitled to free travel to and from the burial place. If the deceased is buried on the territory of the Russian Federation, then one of his family members is granted once a year the right to free travel to the burial place and back.
Family members of dead military personnel are entitled to a survivor's pension, which is assigned and paid in accordance with the pension legislation of the Russian Federation. They cannot be evicted from their living quarters without providing them with other well-equipped premises free of charge in the event that family members terminate their employment relations with the relevant organizations. Relatives also retain the right to improve their living conditions. It is worth noting that the widows of military personnel are granted this benefit until they remarry.

Repair of individual residential buildings is carried out in accordance with the norms and in the manner established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 27, 2006 No. 313 “On approval of the rules for ensuring the repair of individual residential buildings belonging to family members of military personnel who have lost their breadwinner”

Note that the right to receive it does not apply to family members of servicemen-citizens who participated in the savings-mortgage system. And the widows of military personnel are granted this benefit until they remarry.
Also, the above category of persons is entitled to compensation payments for payment:

3. subscription fee for the use of telephones, radio broadcasting points, collective television antennas;
4. installation of residential telephones at current tariffs, and those living in houses that do not have central heating - fuel purchased within the limits established for sale to the population, and its delivery.

More recently, Russian the army was a place where mothers didn't really want to send their sons. Now the situation is completely different. The prestige of our armed forces is high, and most of the guys of military age do not at all seek to hang out from service. Many people are happy to switch to a contract basis after the deadline, go to military schools. But despite all the positive changes in our army, military professions, of course, continue to be quite dangerous. Now Russia seems to be officially not at war with anyone, but in fact, its soldiers periodically die in the line of military duty, including abroad. Therefore, today regular business trips abroad for our military personnel (especially professional ones) are not uncommon at all. Soldiers and officers participate in combat operations, escort cargo, serve abroad - in various Russian military bases in seemingly peaceful countries, but sometimes they die there too.

Payoutsandprivilegeswhich are required by lawfamilies dead military personnel.

Unfortunately, I know quite a lot of such cases not from the press, but from life. About 6 years ago, the young son-in-law of one of my colleagues died. Misha was an athletic boy, engaged in martial arts, and after being called up, he ended up in the Tambov special forces brigade. After a year and a half, he received senior sergeant rank and became the commander of the intelligence department. After graduating from the military, he entered a contract in one of the special forces. In his incomplete 25 years, he managed to fight in the Caucasus and was awarded a medal "For Courage". Misha died during the next exercise from a head wound from a fragment of a light-noise grenade, leaving a young wife and a very young son in this world. Around the same time, my friend's son died due to an explosion in a tank. He was still alive when they pulled him out of the car, but died 3 days later without regaining consciousness. Three years ago, the husband of a neighbor crashed during a training flight in a fighter jet. He did not have time to eject from the falling plane, because he wanted to get away from the residential areas of the city. Igor was buried in a closed coffin. Another neighbor, a police officer, was most recently killed by a drug addict during one of the operations to identify drug dens. And these are only those cases that I immediately remembered, what is called "offhand". In fact, there were many more of them in the lives of my closest acquaintances.

What possible deathat a combat post, as it were, was originally incorporated into the program of military service, of course, does not ease the grief of the families of the victims in the slightest. The grief of losing a loved one cannot be quelled. But now the state is trying to at least facilitate the material existence of the relatives and friends of the soldiers who died in the service of the Fatherland. In particular, the families of the dead Russian servicemen are entitled to various payments and benefits. This is regulated by several federal laws. First of all, No. 53-FZ of March 28, 1998(version dated 05.10.2015) "On military duty and military service, No. 76-FZ" On the status military personnel”, No. 306-ФЗ dated November 7, 2011 “On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of individual payments to them”.

Whenmilitary personnelconsidereddeadwhile performing service?

Paragraph 1 of Article 37 of the Federal Law "On military duty and military service" says that acting military service can be considered actuallymilitary personnel; persons called up for military training; citizens in the mobilization reserve. If one of them died during the service, then his family will be entitled to legal payments and benefits.

The same law also determines the situations in which a person is recognized as performing military service. .

Such people are, for example:

• combatants;
• performing various tasks and official duties in conditions of emergency and martial law and during armed conflicts;
• carrying combat duty, combat service, service in the outfit, etc .;
• participating in ship voyages or exercises;
• carrying out orders and orders of commanders;
• seconded;
• under treatment;
• called up for military training;
• prisoners (except those who surrendered voluntarily), hostages;
• missing;
• participants in actions to prevent and eliminate the consequences of natural disasters and various catastrophes.

These and certain others are entitled to payments and benefits in case of injuries, injuries, complete or partial disability. If they die in the line of duty or as a result of service, then privileges and monetary compensations are received by their members families .

Which relative is entitled topaymentsandprivileges due toof death soldier?

This is stated in Federal Law of February 12, 1993 No. 4468-1-FZ which governs insurance payments to military personnel and, in the event of death, to their relatives. To members family of the deceased soldier can be attributed:

• official spouses (moreover, the marriage must be registered, and not civil);
• parents or adoptive parents;
• grandparents of the deceased (if parents are absent and if they raised the deceased for 3 years or more);
• children who have not reached the age of majority (18 years old)
• children over 18 but who received a disability before reaching the age of majority
• children over 18, but students in educational institutions - until the very end of their studies or until they reach the age of 23;
• dependents of the deceased who were under his care.

It's interesting that sometimes even intelligent and intelligent people confuse some concepts and then they are very offended and perplexed when they are pointed to
their mistakes. I am on the parent committee of my son's school. A very energetic lady of about forty years old became the chairman of the committee a year ago. About a month ago, she came to school in mourning. She said that her husband died on a military mission, and now she is busy with insurance and getting an apartment for him. And last week I met this widow on the street, and she complained to me in her nerves that the state wants to deceive her and give her nothing - no money, no apartment. From her chaotic monologue, I realized that they were married with the deceased in the church, but not registered in the registry office. I confess: I did not enlighten her - I did not explain that church marriage is not official from the point of view of state law, therefore money and privileges she does not shine. To be honest, I realized that she simply would not hear me and even, perhaps, be offended. She simply advised her to go to a good lawyer, so that he would explain everything professionally to her.

Payoutsperdeceasedmilitary, which are required by law to members of itsfamilies.

They are one-time and permanent(monthly). The first ones are military insurance money. them (according to Federal Law No. 4468-1-FZ ) are categorized. There are sums insured, which are calculated in accordance with the size of the monthly allowance (this is a combination of salaries by rank and position). In general, such pay is 25 salaries for each (!) member the families of the deceased.

Another compensation is issued in the total amount, which is then divided among all by shares. If a the deceased was a soldier or died at a military training camp, then the amount of this compensation is regulated in 8th and 9th parts of Article 3 of the Federal Law of November 7, 2011 No. 306-FZ “On monetary allowance military personnel and providing them with separate payments » . For deathsoldier in the performance of the family 3 million rubles are due. The same amount must be paid in the event of the death of a person within a year after his dismissal. But, of course, if tragedy will happen precisely because of an injury received at work (and not when, for example, a car knocked down at the crossing).

Besides, part 13 of Article 3 of the same law establishes a monthly compensation payment , which is calculated by dividing the pension disabled person of the 1st group (and it is now 14,000 rubles) for all members the families of the deceased.

The same neighbor of mine, the widow of a crashed pilot, almost immediately issued survivor's pension on the 3 of their children two, eight and sixteen years old. Her older boyfriend is now studying at a technical school, then he is going to enter a military flight school, he wants to follow in his father's footsteps. After the death of her husband, Galina received a large insurance policy and bought another apartment in a neighboring building. Now she rents it until one of the children grows up and wants to live on their own. And the late captain Alexei, who was killed by a stoned drug addict, had an elderly mother. She also now receives a pension for her son and the other day she told me that she was going to go for treatment. A ticket to the Kislovodsk sanatorium will be for her free- for the son.

Where to go and what the documents collect for insurance payments .

Package of documents for this (according to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 29, 1998 No. 855) need to send to a military unit where the deceased served, and to an insurance company. The final decision will be made by the insurers based on all the documentation provided.

In case of death a person during his service needs:

If a person died within a year after leaving the army from injuries and wounds received in the service, then in addition to the previous papers, a copy of the ITU conclusion that death soldiercame precisely in connection with the injuries he received.

Military survivor's pension –

this is another kind of monthly state payments for death in military service. It can be claimed disabled members only families the deceased who were dependent on him. These are, firstly, official spouses (pensioners) and children - minors and full-time students (up to 23 years old). If children study in military universities or according to the ATS system, they lose their pension. Right to payments survivors also have grandchildren, brothers and sisters, retired parents, grandparents - when there is no one to support them. Disabled spouses can receive this pension even before they reach retirement age (unless, of course, they remarry), and disabled children can receive this pension even after the age of 23.

To receive such a pension, you must apply to Russian Pension Fund and provide the relevant papers:

• application on the form (can be found on the PF website);
• passport or other identity card;
• death certificate or court order (if serviceman missing);
• the documents , which confirm family relations with dead.

In 2017 amounts of military pensions for the loss of a breadwinner have 2 basic monetary expressions. If a person dies
directly during service, then the pension is RUB 9919.70., and in the case subsequent of deathdue to injury or injury – RUB 7439.78. At the same time, local coefficients are also applied, which depend on the regions of residence. More will be paid, for example, in the Far North. Allowances are also given to disabled people of the 1st group (100%) who have reached the age of 80 (also 100%) and children - disabled people of the 1st and 2nd groups, as well as disabled children - 32 % .

Privilegesfor membersfamilies deceased serviceman is a separate issue.

Their list is not too long, but the benefits themselves are quite significant. Primarily, Article 24 of the law "On the status military personnel » the following provisions on social protection are defined families of the dead:

1. Under no circumstances can they be evicted from housing without the provision of another - comfortable and free. And plus, in the future, the right to improve housing conditions under the law will be preserved.
2. The repair of their own houses is done according to the norms that are established Government Russian Federation.
3. Housing (if necessary) is provided to them as a matter of priority.
4. They are entitled to compensation payments payment for living space, hiring, maintenance and repair of housing, utilities, installation and subscription fees for fixed telephones, radio, collective television antennas.
5. They are compensated for the purchase and delivery of fuel within the established norm (if there is no central heating).
6. They retain the right to social guarantees for the provision of medical care in hospitals, for sanatorium treatment and travel to the places of this treatment and back.

All these benefits, like pensions, for widows and widowers are retained only until they remarry. And the receipt of housing (which was due to the military, but he did not manage to get it) will be carried out based on all family members who lived with the deceased at the time of his death. of death . Moreover, the order of receipt will be preserved the same as it would have been if there had been no misfortune. That is, if the deceased was in line for state housing certificates, then the orphaned relatives will retain the right to them. If he already has was an apartment, then it will remain to his heirs, and housing for hire can be registered as a property. If it was right to a one-time payment(calculated before January 1, 2005), then family this paymentdefinitely get it. And so on. That is, housing for the family deceased will be provided on a mandatory basis and out of turn.

So I got an apartment for myself and my daughter and Valentina, my classmate, whose husband was mortally wounded in South Ossetia. Sergei was a military doctor and died from a shell fragment that exploded next to a mobile hospital. Six months before his of death they moved from the Irkutsk region to the Moscow region, where Seryozha was transferred to the service. They lived in a rented apartment. After the death of her husband, Valya was given a housing certificate out of turn, and she was able to buy a two-room apartment in Podolsk. Valentina still sometimes repeats that this apartment is Serezhin's posthumous gift for her daughter's future wedding (they still have a small hereditary odnoshka of Valya's mother in the same Podolsk).

The death of our military guys is a very difficult and personal topic for me. Both of my grandfathers fought, were career officers. One of my brothers is a sailor, also an officer, a participant in hostilities. The nephew serves in the Airborne Forces, is going to stay on the contract. And then my own son recently told me that after school he wants to go to study at a higher military school. So I myself run the risk of soon becoming the mother of a soldier and for the rest of my life not to know peace from worries for my only child. But when I was selecting material for my article on the topic of our state's concern for families dead soldiers , I (to my own surprise, I must say) found that Russia really leaves neither widows, nor orphans, nor elderly parents to their own devices. . Not that it completely reconciled me with the desire of my son (still scared for him), but somehow comforted me a little. If a country treats its soldiers and their families this way, then it is indeed a worthy country. Who will serve her, except for her children - our sons?

306 of the Federal Law assigns to the relatives of the deceased during the execution or for the first year after dismissal:

• the right to receive 3 million rubles;
• the obligation to divide the issued amount among all right holders in equal shares.

The amount of the lump sum received will depend on how many relatives of the deceased are entitled to it.

Another single cash payment, according to the 5th Federal Law, is due to the families of the victims:

• invalids of wars;
• WWII veterans;
• combat veterans;
• during the Second World War, members of the air defense personnel and emergency teams;
• workers of Leningrad hospitals and hospitals during the Second World War.

It is important to know that only those fighters who participated in operations on the territory of the country and abroad, officially recognized by the state as military / combat, are included in the number of combat veterans.

Benefits for relatives of a veteran are given if the deceased:

• participated in the hostilities of the Russian Federation and during the years of the existence of the USSR;
• cleared the territories after the Second World War until 1951 and until 1957, depending on the place of work;
• is a combat veteran in Afghanistan (1979-1989);
• participated in hostilities in Chechnya (in the first and second companies);
• participated in the CTO in the North Caucasus;
• fought in Syria since 2015.

It is important to remember that the widow of war veterans (Afghanistan, Chechnya, the North Caucasus, and so on) will receive the right to benefits and benefits only when the deceased spouse officially formalized his status during his lifetime and had a certificate, otherwise it is necessary to receive veteranship posthumously.

For 2019, the value of the veteran payment is 927 rubles. The amount is indexed periodically.

An allowance in the amount of 14,000 rubles is paid monthly to relatives:

• who died in the line of duty:
• a person whose death occurred as a result of military diseases and injuries;
• one who, during the period of military training, is recognized as missing or declared dead (the provision of payment on this basis is determined by the government of the Russian Federation).

The amount paid to each of the relatives is formed by dividing by their number.

If the deceased was a disabled person, then the relatives will be paid in shares the compensation determined for the serviceman during his lifetime.

Important! Military parents will receive the right to the above two payments if they are 50/55 (mother / father) years old, or they are disabled. Disability must be formalized.

A separate law (No. 128) defines a monthly allowance for the children of fallen servicemen. In 2019, its size is set at 1597 rubles 50 kopecks.

Payment is made for each of:

• small children up to adulthood;
• adult children if they are incapacitated or incapacitated;
• adults under the age of 23 in full-time education.

The increase in the amount is made in those subjects where the law provides for the existence of a district coefficient. In addition, the allowance is periodically indexed.

In addition to these payments, if a serviceman during his lifetime was the only breadwinner in the family, a monthly pension is accrued to the relatives left without his support.

Benefits for relatives

This type of privilege consists of assistance that is provided upon application.

Widows, children and parents of military personnel who died in the line of duty, or as a result of undermining their health during service or being on a military pension, can take advantage of the benefits.

For such families, the legal norms:

• prohibit eviction from the housing where they lived with the deceased, unless another comfortable accommodation is provided in return;
• provide for the maintenance of privileges for the improvement of housing conditions available to the military;
• establish the right to subsidize the repair of private houses that are the place of residence of the family;
• do not allow exclusion from the queue for receiving free housing and housing subsidies for the purchase and construction of housing, if they are recognized as needy (the provision is made out of turn and according to the same standards calculated during the life of the military);
• determine subsidies in the field of housing and communal services (reimbursement is made for the payment of rent, maintenance and repair of a residential facility, as well as utilities);
• establish the possibility of receiving compensation for fuel and its delivery if the family lives in a house without central heating;
• imply an extraordinary connection of fixed telephones, radio points and television antennas, as well as compensation for their subscription services;
• establish guarantees of free medical and social services.

If the applicant for benefits is a pensioner, a disabled person or a person who has lost a breadwinner, he is additionally granted the right to take advantage of sanatorium treatment and free travel to the place (in both directions).

Important! The privileges of the spouses of the deceased shall be preserved until the moment of their remarriage.

Benefits for widows of military pensioners

The working period of the life of the wives of a serviceman is associated with certain hardships. They relate to the impossibility of permanent employment and interruption of seniority due to family relocations during the spouse's service. The death of a military pensioner often leaves his wife practically without a livelihood, so the state tries to compensate them for the lack of support.

The greatest support is provided in matters of calculating pensions, since military wives have little chance of earning a decent old age on their own.

Retirement benefits

Legislation allows you to include in the length of service up to 5 years that a woman spent moving around the garrisons where she could not officially find a job.

In addition, the widow is allowed to independently choose the type of pension that she will receive.

There are several options:

1. If a woman had no problems with work and experience, she had a good income and earned a decent pension, then she can receive it.
2. You can choose to receive a spouse's allowance if a military pensioner retired with a high rank and with the required length of service, and deserved a large pension.
3. If there is a disability or the need to care for the children of the deceased, the widow is entitled to receive a survivor's pension if the military pensioner died from injuries or diseases acquired during the period of service.

At the same time, the widows of military pensioners are included in the list of categories of persons who are allowed to receive an additional old-age insurance pension.

The main requirements for a widow to receive a military pension are the availability of benefits for the deceased and reaching the age at which social benefits for old age are due (55 years).

A soldier can receive benefits if, at the time of dismissal:

• has 20 years of service for employees of law enforcement and military departments;
• has reached the age of 45, has 25 years of work experience, half of which is in the service;
• established disability, provoked by military diseases / injuries.

If the payments of the military pension to the spouse during life were terminated before the death occurred, but in the 5-year period the widow has the right to claim the allowance.

In cases where she is forced to take care of the children of the deceased, who are under 8 years old, her age, marital status and employment are not taken into account when assigning payments.

The amount of the payment to the widow will be determined the same as the military pensioner received during his lifetime. The calculation of the amount is made on the basis of the rank, the amount of monetary allowance and well-deserved allowances.

Important! The spouse has the right to apply for a military pension only within a 5-year period, the period is counted from the moment of his death.

To be eligible for a survivor's pension as a main benefit, a widow must meet one of the following criteria:

• be declared incapacitated;
• to lose with his death the main source of income;
• bring up and support the children of the husband (or his relatives) until he reaches the age of 14;
• educate and support incompetent adult relatives of the spouse.

If the spouse dies as a result of a disability acquired in the service, then the allowance is paid to the widow upon reaching the age of 55 without restrictions.

The amount of benefits for the loss of a breadwinner will be:

• 30% of the allowance of the deceased;
• 50 and 40% if during his lifetime he received a disability in the service, depending on what caused the development of the disease - an injury on duty or an accident.

The survivor's benefit may be paid at the same time as another pension if the spouse of the person who died as a result of disability has not remarried.

The amount of the insurance payment depends entirely on what pension indicators for old age were earned by the spouse herself.

A second pension may be available provided that:

• the widow has reached retirement age;
• has at least 15 years of experience;
• accumulated at least 30 pension points.

The above privileges of the widows of military pensioners are also relevant for the widows of participants in the Second World War.

Social privileges

The law establishes certain benefits for the widows of military pensioners who had the status of veterans during their lifetime:

50% discount on utility bills guaranteed by federal law.

1. Priority rights when joining cooperative and non-profit formations.
2. One-time opportunity to be provided with housing at the expense or with the support of the state (if registered on the need to provide housing since 2005).
3. The right to medical care in departmental institutions and compensation for the costs of sanatorium treatment.
4. Priority rights to social services.

All types of benefits are active. To start using them, you need to collect documents, apply for privileges and process them.

Survivor benefits

A characteristic feature of these benefits is that they are paid only to those who, during the life of a serviceman, were fully supported by him.

These include persons who cannot support themselves due to age or health reasons:

• spouses who have reached retirement age;
• minors, adult children of the deceased, if they are recognized as incapacitated or study full-time until the age of 23;
• disabled parents and other close relatives of the deceased;
• spouse, if due to death he has lost his only source of income.

If the spouse has a disability, then the allowance is assigned without regard to marital status.

Benefits for relatives:

• conscripts is established taking into account the value of the social pension;
• contractors is determined taking into account the amount of monetary allowance;
• military pensioners is formed taking into account the assigned payments.

Upon receipt of a disability of group I or reaching the age of 80, the widow of a military pensioner is entitled to a 100% supplement to the existing pension. If the allowance is assigned for the loss of a breadwinner for a minor child with a disability of groups I and II, including children with disabilities, the amount of the allowance increases by 32%.

Where to apply for payments

The procedure for processing due payments consists of 3 stages.

First of all, you should collect the necessary documents.

1. For the provision of benefits and payments, you should contact the military unit to which the military was assigned during the period of service.
2. Depending on the type of assistance required, it is issued in:

• insurance company;
• pension fund;
• department of social protection;
• local municipality.

List of required documents

The list of papers required to obtain support for the relatives of servicemen who died in the line of duty will differ from the one that the widow of a military pensioner must submit.

So, first you need:

• application for due payments;
• military death certificate;
• a certificate from his command indicating the circumstances of the death;
• documentation confirming the relationship of each of the applicants with the deceased;
• extract from the order of the command on the exclusion of a soldier from the personnel;
• personal passports and birth certificates for children under 14 years of age.

If there were third parties in the care or dependence of the military, then documents on guardianship and medical examination, certificates of their disability and other papers that can confirm their status will be needed.

In cases where the deceased has adult children who are undergoing full-time education, they must receive a certificate from the educational institution containing the date of enrollment to study.

Upon the death of a military as a result of injuries or diseases acquired during the service, which occurred within a year after the dismissal, the set of documents is similar, but it is additionally required to prove that the death occurred precisely for these reasons. To do this, you must present the results of a medical examination (ITU).

If the spouse died as a military pensioner, the widow should prepare:

• personal passport and birth certificates of all children;
• a death certificate and a certificate obtained from the military registration and enlistment office about the husband's military service;
• marriage documents;
• certificates of family composition and income;
• a certificate from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation on the availability of pension payments / or their absence;
• work book;
• ITU results;
• additional documents (on disability or disability).

Despite the economic difficulties, the state provides support to the families of the dead military personnel in the form of social payments and benefits for widows, children and other relatives. Established cash benefits are indexed to inflationary growth. The list of benefits is also updated periodically.
