What is state social assistance and who is entitled to it? Financial support for a former employee. Labor benefits for single mothers

People with disabilities in the Russian Federation receive the status of a disabled person. It gives the right to certain guarantees from the state, due to the inability to work fully and provide for oneself and family members.

Social assistance to disabled people in Russia is provided at the federal and regional levels. Some preferences are the same throughout the country. These benefits are defined by Federal Law No. 181-FZ “On the social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation” dated November 24, 1995.

The legislation does not prohibit regional authorities from developing and implementing additional measures of state support for this group of citizens in their jurisdiction.

Who is disabled

Citizens with serious impairments of body functions can apply for social support using budget funds. Their condition is recorded officially by a medical and social examination - a government body that has a special permit for its activities. Social support for people with disabilities is determined by two factors:

• the degree of damage to the body, that is, the disability group;
• causes of disability.

1. Disabled people are divided into three groups, focusing on a person’s ability to work and care for themselves. In addition, those who have been disabled since childhood are identified. These are people who have suffered congenital diseases, injuries, or injuries.
2. The causes of disorders are determined by the factors that affected the body. Among them are:
   • general diseases;
   • injuries and injuries received during work;
   • diseases caused by:
     • technogenic factors;
     • interactions with harmful factors during work;
   • participation in combat operations.

Important: the status of a disabled person must be confirmed regularly:

• Groups 2 and 3 - once a year;
• 1 group - once every two years;
• disabled people since childhood - once.

Social support measures for citizens with disabilities

Government preferences for people with disabilities vary. They depend not only on the group, but also on the conditions under which the ability to work was lost.

This means that a group of citizens injured as a result of an accident at nuclear facilities may be provided with separate benefits that do not apply to other holders of the same disability group.

Important: in addition to the ITU certificate, which officially indicates the group, individuals also receive a preferential certificate confirming their membership in a certain group of beneficiaries.

For example, the state provides much more guarantees to combat disabled people than to general disabled people.

Social support for disabled people of group 1

This group includes citizens with persistent impairments of body functions. They are provided with the following types of assistance at the expense of the budget:

• enrollment without competition into educational institutions with state accreditation, subject to successful passing of entrance tests;
• provision of a scholarship, the amount of which is twice the amount for a given educational institution;
• reduction of the working week to 35 hours in case of employment;
• For working disabled people, the enterprise administration is obliged to provide additional unpaid leave of up to 60 days upon request;
• free use of any type of public transport (except taxi);
• benefits for using transport lines within the region;
• reduction of fees for the use of utility services;
• exemption from taxation of real estate of disabled people, as well as inherited property.

All disabled people are entitled to pension benefits. Its size depends on the degree of disability (group).

In addition, these people receive additional payments from the budget. For disabled people of group 1 they are:

1. The disability benefit in 2017 is 3,357.23 rubles.
2. Monthly cash payment 3538.52 rubles.
3. The size of the social pension assigned in the absence of official work experience varies depending on the presence of dependents:
   • for the disabled person of the 1st group - 9919.73 rubles;
   • if there is one dependent - 10,637.50 rubles;
   • two - 12157.13 rubles;
   • three or more - RUB 13,767.78.

Preferences for disabled people of group 2

These citizens have the right to receive all the same benefits as listed above. There are no particular differences in the preferences provided at the place of duty (during employment), in the field of education, compensation for transportation costs, and payment for utilities. However, the majority of citizens with group 2 disabilities are able to work. This affects the amount of pension and other payments. Namely:

• the supplement to the pension is 2397.59 rubles;
• EDV - 2527.06 rub.
• social pension (if there is no experience) - 4558.93 rubles;
• if you have dependents:
  • one - 6078.57 rubles;
  • two - 7598.21 rubles;
  • three or more - 9117.85 rubles.

Namely services:

• sign language interpreter;
• typhological translator;
• audio commentary.

Measures to support disabled people of group 3

This group of citizens as a whole is provided with the same preferences, with some exceptions. Namely, they do not have the right:

• for non-competitive enrollment in educational institutions;
• increased stipend;
• tax exemption.

Payments to citizens with disability group 3 are also lower:

• supplement to pension - 1919.3 rubles;
• EDV - 2022.24 rubles;
• social pension 2279.47 rubles;
  • RUB 3,799.11 - if there is one dependent;
  • 5318.75 rub. - two;
  • 6838.39 rub. - three or more.

State support for disabled children

The legislation of the Russian Federation establishes preferences for citizens from 0 years of age who have health limitations. They are expressed as follows:

1. Payments to parents of disabled children who are unable to receive education in regular schools (kindergartens). This money should be used to organize individual training.
2. Compensation for the cost of traveling to a place of health once a year for a child with disabilities and an accompanying person.
3. Public hospital services for treatment and rehabilitation are provided free of charge.
4. Also, parents do not pay for medications prescribed by doctors for these children and technical rehabilitation products.

Disabled children receive EDV in the amount of 2,527.06 rubles in 2017. In addition, their parents receive support from the budget. On average, its size is 13 thousand rubles.

Important: guardians of children with health limitations also have the right to all payments and other preferences, like biological parents.

Social support for families raising a disabled child

Parents (guardians) of children with disabilities also enjoy certain preferences from the state.

There are several areas established by law in which these people have benefits. Namely:

1. At the place of duty, upon application, the length of the working week is reduced and they are given additional rest time without retaining their earnings.
2. In the area of ​​pensions, their mandatory length of service has been reduced by five years.
3. Families raising disabled children are provided with housing subsidies if they need improved living conditions.
4. Free medicine for the child, including:
   • provision of rehabilitation means according to the doctor’s indications;
   • discounts on the purchase of medicines.
5. Tax preferences include exemption from certain payments, as well as the right to a tax deduction (3,000 rubles per disabled child).

Measures to organize rehabilitation and habilitation

In 2016, changes occurred in the legislative framework of the Russian Federation that differentiated the terms “rehabilitation” and “habilitation”. The first means efforts aimed at restoring the functions of the affected organism. The second is working with children with physical disabilities, aimed at developing their initial skills.

Attention: all citizens with disabilities can receive rehabilitation assistance.

It includes the following types of events:

1. Medical procedures, prosthetics, spa treatment.
2. Providing assistance in obtaining a suitable profession and employment.
3. Legal support free of charge.
4. Psychological assistance with the aim of organizing the normal entry of citizens into the social environment.

Habilitation programs boil down to:

• medical support to restore body functions;
• organizing pedagogical support for children;
• creating conditions for parents to obtain the necessary knowledge.

Revision of the document taking into account
changes and additions prepared
JSC "Kodeks"

On additional measures of social support for people with disabilities and other persons with disabilities in the city of Moscow (as amended as of December 16, 2015)

In our new material, we will talk about the types of benefits that disabled people of all groups living in the Russian Federation can take advantage of this year.

Disability insurance pension

This type of pension is awarded to people with disabilities who have been assigned group 1, 2 or 3. In this case, the insurance period plays a role, regardless of its duration. By the way, the reasons that led to disability, as well as the period of its onset, are not important. The same applies to the fact that a disabled person is employed.

In 2019 (from January 1), the monthly insurance pension accrued to disabled people of group 1 is equal to 10,668.38 rubles (without dependents). The pension changes upward if there is one dependent (12,446.44 rubles), two (14,224.50 rubles) or three (16,002.56 rubles).

Disabled people of group 2 are entitled to 5334.19 rubles. The number of dependent persons also influences here. If we are talking about one person, the payment will reach 7112.25 rubles. When there are several dependents, 8890.31 rubles are charged. With an increase of one more person, the insurance pension reaches 10,668.37 rubles.

For those who have group 3, 2667.10 rubles per month are provided. The presence of a dependent increases this amount to 4,445.16 rubles. The more dependents, the higher the pension (6223.22 rubles and 8001.28 rubles - the latter amount is issued for three dependents).

Social disability pension

Such a pension is assigned to citizens of the Russian Federation who are considered disabled.

Indexation of pensions and disability payments in 2019

If we talk about the current period, social pensions increased by 2%, while insurance pensions increased by 7.05%. As for social payments, the increase here is 4.3%. The average disability pension reached 9.1 thousand rubles. In 2018, 2.9% was added to pension payments, and the indexation of social funds reached 2.5%.

Additional information on payments to disabled people

Disabled people have the opportunity to use a range of social services (we are talking about a social package or SSS). But these services are also offered in the form of monetary compensation, which since February 1, 2019 has also undergone changes in the direction of increase. In particular, they give:

For medicines 863.75 rubles;

For a trip to the sanatorium 133.61 rubles;

Travel to the sanatorium (by train, bus, train, plane) is 124.05 rubles.

In general, this year it is equal to 1121.41 rubles.

Among other things, social security staff can provide the following services if necessary::

Caring for a person with disabilities and organizing meals;

Assistance in obtaining legal, medical, socio-psychological and other types of assistance (for example, in-kind assistance related to employment, funerals, etc.).

You have the right to receive this or that support for free:

Disabled people whose relatives, due to objective reasons, are not able to care for them, etc. (in this case, the pension of the recipient of services with all allowances must be less than the subsistence level);

Persons with disabilities living in a family with a total income below the minimum wage established in the region.

Partial (incomplete) payment for services is provided if the disabled person has:

Pension (plus bonuses) amounting to 100-150% of the current minimum subsistence level within the region;

Relatives who are unable to care for those in need, and the amount of pensions of these citizens with supplements is also equal to 100-150% of the regional minimum;

A family with an average per capita income not exceeding 100-150% of the minimum wage calculated for living in a particular region.

Benefits for people with disabilities in the field of education

Holders of disability groups 1 and 2 can enter any municipal educational institution, higher vocational education and secondary vocational education without competition. Moreover, any disabled person has the right to a scholarship.

Benefits related to spa treatment

When going to a sanatorium together with a disabled person of group 1, the accompanying person (with the approval of social security) is provided with a voucher (free of charge). He is also provided with travel under the conditions applicable to a person with disabilities. It is noteworthy that, in general, unemployed people with disabilities do not pay for travel and rest in a sanatorium, and working people receive a 50% discount.

Benefits for medicines

Disabled people of group 2 who are not employed and persons with disabilities (group 1) receive prescription medications free of charge (there is an approved list). Having group 2 and work, or group 3 (in the absence of activity), you can claim a deduction of half the cost of a certain drug prescribed by a doctor.

Transport benefits for disabled pensioners

City passenger transport carries out transportation of disabled children and those caring for them on preferential terms. Disabled people are also included in this group. Both can purchase a travel ticket at a special discounted price, which is set by the authorities in each region.

Social benefits for disabled people

Let us recall that in 2005 social. benefits have been replaced, that is, with monthly cash payments provided for both disabled children, disabled people, and veterans. Former prisoners of fascist camps and those who suffered from radiation are also indicated here.

3782.94 rubles (1st disability group);

2701.67 rubles (disabled children and group 2);

2162.51 rubles (for group 3);

Privileges of disabled people in civil and family law

Experts emphasize that people with disabilities cannot be discriminated against based on salary and other significant factors. Disabled people of groups 2 and 1 must work no more than 35 hours a week (unless they agree to other conditions). At the same time, wages are retained in full.

Plus, every year a disabled person has the right to rest for 30 days (no less if we assume that the working week is six days). An employee can work beyond the agreed time, at night or on weekends, by his own consent and agreement with the employer, unless this is directly prohibited in medical recommendations (here it is worth focusing on the IPR).

Benefits under housing legislation

Families raising disabled children, as well as adults with disabilities, receive a discount of at least 50% on apartment rent if we are talking about a house belonging to a public or municipal housing stock. Utilities are paid with the same discount (the housing stock is not important here).

In addition, disabled people and families with unhealthy children have the right to receive a plot of land first. The territory is intended for the construction of individual housing, gardening, dacha and subsidiary farming. Note that, according to the Presidential Decree, the site must be a place suitable for the life of a disabled person.

Plus, it is important to take into account some requirements regarding the purchase and sale of residential premises and payment for services. For example, a disabled person may live in an alienated house (premises) all his life or apply for another space that meets the requirements of housing legislation. In addition, a disabled person has the right to receive the required assistance, food and material components.

Tax benefits

Insurance premiums

Individual entrepreneurs and legal entities with individual entrepreneurs (we are talking about organizations) have the opportunity in the first case to pay 20.2% for a disabled person (until 2012), and in the second - 27.1% (since 2013). These contributions are mandatory, but not every Pension Fund agrees with these values.

Contributions for injuries

In relation to the heads of organizations, if necessary, a benefit is applied to payments accrued to disabled employees of groups 1, 2 or 3. From the salary of such an employee, 60% of the insurance rate should be paid (this is indicated by Articles 1 and 2 of the Federal Law of July 21, 2007 N 186-FZ). It is worth knowing that under a civil law agreement, payments when calculating the amount of contributions are taken into account only in accordance with the clauses of the concluded agreement (see paragraph 4, paragraph 1, article 5 of the above-mentioned Federal Law of July 24, 1998 N 125-FZ “On Compulsory Social Insurance from accidents at work and occupational diseases").

As for the tax on property and land owned by organizations, paragraph 3 of Article 381 and paragraph 5 of Article 395 of the Tax Code, these taxes are not paid:

Public organizations of disabled people, where the latter are at least 80%;

Organizations with an authorized capital consisting of 100% of contributions made by the institutions specified in the previous paragraph (in this case, there must be at least 50% of employees with disabilities, and their share in the wage fund is equal to 25% or more);

Organizations whose property is owned by disabled people's societies.

Income tax

Based on paragraph 1 and subparagraph 38 in Article 264 of the Tax Code, other expenses can include those borne by taxpayer organizations that provide work to disabled people and provide their social protection.

But for this, half (or more) of the employees must be with disabilities, and on average, of the total salaries, 25% or more must be spent on paying for their activities.

We emphasize that disabled people working under civil contracts (for example, contractors) or part-time cannot be considered together with other employees who have a group.

Plus, the specified point gives an idea of ​​the goals of social protection for people with disabilities. This includes:

The rate per horsepower for disabled people and pensioners is reduced by half if they themselves purchased a passenger vehicle with an overall engine power of up to 150 hp. Also, in some regions, under these conditions, you can not pay this tax at all (if the vehicle belongs to a disabled person of groups 1, 2 or a WWII veteran).

Land tax

Social assistance to pensioners of all categories is a priority area of ​​state social policy. Of course, this assistance does not always reach those in need in full, but this area is developing and a lot has already been achieved.

Low-income and disabled pensioners

The subsistence minimum is the main value that social protection authorities are guided by when assignment of the status of a low-income citizen depends on the region of residence. Based on a certificate of the amount of pension and other profit, if any, the social protection department makes a decision on assigning status. To receive social assistance at the federal level, you must register a one-time cash payment at the territorial branch of the Pension Fund. Help can be received in the form of various types of benefits, services, or it can be replaced with cash payments. After reviewing the list of benefits, the citizen decides for himself which option is preferable for him.

In addition to 7 tbsp. 178 of the Law, there is Federal Law No. 181 - Federal Law, which regulates the procedure for receiving social assistance for disabled pensioners. It says that if you refuse the cash equivalent of the cost of a set of benefits, you can get:

2. Sanatorium-resort treatment for the underlying disease.

State support for pensioners at the federal and regional levels

Federal beneficiaries are WWII veterans, combatants, decorated residents of besieged Leningrad, widows and widowers of WWII veterans, disabled people and disabled children, liquidators of nuclear accidents and victims of radiation after these accidents, working pensioners. All other categories are regional pensioners. For example, targeted financial assistance. Any pensioner who finds himself in a difficult situation can receive it, but depending on where he lives, the amount of this assistance may differ. Medicines, food, clothing and shoes - everything is decided at the local level.

Targeted social assistance

According to Law No. 442 - Federal Law, a pensioner can count on receiving fuel, transport and technical equipment for rehabilitation. Much depends on the capabilities of the regions; when applying for targeted assistance, be sure to read the regulations governing the provision of such assistance in this subject. The following are entitled to receive targeted assistance:

3. Additional payment for pilots, miners, nuclear scientists (for special merits).
4. Veterans of the Great Patriotic War.

To register, you must personally contact the Pension Fund branch or through a legal representative (clause 3 of the RF PP No. 1386).

Social supplement to pension up to the subsistence level in the capital

Throughout Russia, additional payments are made to pensioners up to the subsistence level in the region. 2019 was no exception for residents of the capital. This additional payment will be made to all non-working pensioners. Moscow Law No. 37 sets the cost of living for 2019 at 11,816 rubles. Regional social supplement is made in accordance with Moscow legal acts.

Subsidies for housing and communal services

The most popular among pensioners is the benefit for housing and communal services. A significant item of monthly expenses, some of which may be returned to the payer in the form of a subsidy. To receive compensation for a share of the costs of utility bills, you must collect a package of documents and submit them to the social security department at your place of residence. The list of required documents can be found on the State Services Portal or directly from the social security inspector.

If the costs of housing and communal services exceed the maximum permissible level (from 10 to 22% in different regions) in the total family income, a citizen can apply for subsidies. Documents are verified within 10 days. It is important to know that the federal category of pensioners is entitled to subsidies without taking into account their total income. The amount can be up to 50% of payment for housing and communal services.

Reimbursement for telephone expenses

Reimbursement for telephone expenses applies to the working category of pensioners. Yes, Art. 164 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation stipulates that compensation must reimburse the employee for communication costs if they are related to the performance of work duties. Compensation is paid from the enterprise’s own profit or from a state subsidy (if a state task was carried out).

Free and discounted medications and medical care

Every pensioner has the right to free services in city and district clinics and hospitals. If additional examinations are required in special centers, the decision is made at the local level. Disabled pensioners have the right to receive preferential medications if they have not refused social services. These are 360 ​​drugs, 228 of them are considered vital (order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia No. 328 and No. 665). There are many territorial programs where disabled veterans receive free sanatorium vouchers and visit rehabilitation centers.

Pensioners over 60 years of age must undergo medical examination (Order of the Ministry of Health No. 100 bn) once every 3 years. Disabled veterans of the Great Patriotic War and survivors of the siege who received work-related injuries undergo examinations once a year. Anyone can get a flu vaccine for free.

Transport preferences

Transport preferences in municipal transport are regulated at the federal level and are provided to all pensioners. The differences are territorial: in Moscow it’s a transport card, in other regions it’s a discount on travel. Federal pensioners have the largest number of transport benefits:

1. Free travel on public transport for WWII veterans.
2. 50% discount on water and railway transport.
3. For labor veterans - use of municipal transport and suburban transport without payment.

The benefits do not apply to commercial and air transport. Few airlines offer seasonal discounts to senior citizens. In many regions, a discount on commuter trains is provided for all categories of citizens of retirement age up to 50% of the ticket price.

One-time targeted government assistance and social contract

Targeted assistance is provided to individuals who, for a number of reasons, are unable to provide for themselves. For example, single pensioners whose health does not allow them to lead their usual lifestyle or whose property was damaged as a result of a natural disaster. This type of assistance is temporary and is aimed at helping a person quickly overcome negative factors. The amount of assistance depends on regional capabilities and the specific needs of the citizen. You can find out from the social security authorities whether a particular person falls into the category eligible to receive targeted assistance.

Another fairly new type of social assistance to citizens is a targeted contract. Such contracts are concluded between a low-income citizen and a social center. A targeted contract implies reasonable social assistance to a person in a difficult financial situation. For example, a low-income person can enter into a contract for financial assistance for the installation of water or gas meters. The social security authorities will assess the cost of the work being carried out and allocate the appropriate amount. You can conclude a contract for the development of a subsidiary farm, which will subsequently improve the situation of the applicant. The purpose of contract social assistance is to solve a specific problem and increase the level of social adaptation of low-income citizens.

Financial support for a former employee

Sometimes the enterprise where a citizen worked before reaching retirement age voluntarily assumes the costs of his social support, even if this is not stated in the Collective Agreement. Thus, a former employer can provide all possible financial assistance for the treatment of a citizen or pay for funeral costs in the event of the death of a former employee. Such payments are not required by law.

Who is entitled to and what is included in the comprehensive package of social assistance?

military operations. It included:

1. Expensive medicines.
2. Treatment in a sanatorium (if there is a referral, once a year).

You will also need copies of a pension certificate, passport, income certificate for all family members (if living together), and a disability certificate indicating the group.

As in other cases, documents are submitted in person or through a legal representative and are reviewed within 10 days. If additional verification is needed, the law provides for a period of 30 days. In case of refusal, you can appeal the decision to the same body within 5 days.

Features of preferences for certain categories of pensioners in 2019

For single and low-income citizens, the full range of services can be found at local social security authorities. It is worth adding that with an increase in the cost of living, calculations for subsidizing housing and communal services will also change, and pension supplements will be increased in 2019 by 4% until 2020.

Benefits will be accrued from the actual date of receipt of documents.

Additional assistance for people with disabilities
