Not all citizens who have retired can take care of themselves, so they need outside help. The legislation provides for monetary payments to a person who left his job and took on these difficult responsibilities.

Elderly care allowance

The legislation stipulates that citizens have the right to exercise guardianship over relatives or strangers and receive monetary compensation for this. The benefit is paid for caring for:

elderly people over 80 years of age;
disabled people who have been assigned group 1 incapacity;
pensioners - regardless of age, if for medical reasons they are entitled to care.

How much pay

Both relatives and strangers who are able-bodied but are not currently working can care for an elderly person. Benefits for caring for a pensioner or disabled person can be of two types:

Compensation payment, the amount of which is 1200 rubles. Benefits are awarded to citizens caring for the elderly and disabled people of group 1 (with the exception of childhood).
A monthly payment that is accrued to a person who has been caring for a disabled person since childhood who has been assigned group 1 disability. The amount of benefit for parents, adoptive parents, guardians or trustees is 5.5 thousand rubles, and 1.2 thousand for everyone else.

How to arrange care for a pensioner

Caring for an elderly or disabled person is difficult both physically and psychologically. For this reason, preference is given to close relatives or well-known people who know the person and can easily find a common language with him. The process of applying for supervision consists of several interrelated steps:

Obtain consent from the person over whom guardianship is needed.
Contact the authority that calculates and pays the elderly person’s pension.
Write an application and attach the required documents.
Wait for the decision and, if the verdict is positive, begin performing your duties.

Requirements for a caregiver

The person to whom the benefit will be accrued does not necessarily have to be related by blood to a disabled person or a citizen who has retired. The fact of cohabitation does not matter, but the following conditions must be met:

the citizen must be able to work;
age – over 14 years (a minor will need the consent of a legal representative);
the caregiver must be unemployed and not engaged in entrepreneurial activity.

List of documents

Compensation payments for caring for disabled citizens are assigned upon provision of a certain package of documents by the pensioner and the caregiver. The list of papers looks like this:

a statement drawn up by the person who will supervise the pensioner;
statement from an elderly person;
a statement from a legal representative if the old man is declared incompetent and cannot independently draw up a document;
a certificate from the Employment Service stating that the citizen caring for a pensioner does not receive benefits as an unemployed person;
conclusion of a medical commission that an individual needs constant outside supervision;
passport or other equivalent document of a citizen applying for benefits for caring for a pensioner;
an extract from the medical and social examination report on disability;
work book of both citizens (if available).

Application for payment

To provide care, you must fill out an application, the form of which can be obtained from the pension fund or downloaded from the official website of the fund. The document must indicate:

name of the territorial body of the Pension Fund;
data of the citizen caring for an elderly person (last name, first name, patronymic, residential address, telephone and passport details);
note whether the person is currently working and whether he receives any cash income, including unemployment benefits, pension benefits;
information about the pensioner being cared for;
data on the representative (if there is one);
at the end of the application you must put a date and a personal signature with its obligatory transcript.

Where to contact

The law stipulates that it is necessary to submit an application for care for an elderly person over 80 years of age, a disabled person or a pensioner and the collected package of documents to the body that calculates the pension for a disabled citizen. This means that if a person simultaneously receives a payment from the Pension Fund and through the law enforcement agency, he can contact any organization or body of his choice. Additionally, you must provide a certificate stating that another department has not assigned payment for caring for a disabled person.

Appointment dates

The law allows ten days for consideration of the application. If a negative decision is made, the applicant must receive notification of this within five days. In case of refusal due to a lack of any documents, they can be provided within three months, and the date of acceptance will still be considered the day the application was submitted. Payment of benefits for caring for a pensioner or disabled person is assigned from the month of application, but not before the right to compensation arises.

Is there any experience in caring for the elderly?

The law establishes that caring for old people over 80 years of age, pensioners and the disabled is taken into account in the length of service, but on the condition that before this moment or after the termination of guardianship, the citizen had a working period of any length. It is important to take into account that the time of examination for a disabled person is not included in the calculation of the pension payment itself, but the transfer of insurance contributions for this period is provided.

Reasons for stopping payments

In certain situations, benefits may be stopped. On the part of the caregiver, the following reasons appear:

got a job;
joined the labor exchange and receives unemployment benefits;
pension assigned;
drafted into the army;
performed his duties in bad faith;
personally refused.

As for the incapacitated person, the reasons are as follows:

died;
assigned a different disability group;
left for permanent residence in another region or country;
was admitted to a permanent residence facility.

The current legislation of the Russian Federation provides for monthly compensation payments to non-working able-bodied persons caring for disabled citizens. By Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 26, 2006 N 1455, the amount of these payments was increased from 120 to 500 rubles. The procedure for assigning and making monthly compensation payments to non-working able-bodied persons caring for disabled citizens has been adjusted.

A monthly compensation payment is assigned to persons residing in the territory of the Russian Federation who care for a group I disabled person, a disabled child under the age of 18, as well as the elderly who, based on the conclusion of a medical institution, require constant outside care or have reached the age of 80 years. The assignment of payment to the caregiver is made regardless of family relationships and cohabitation with the disabled citizen.

To assign a compensation payment, it is necessary to have a statement from the disabled citizen agreeing to be cared for by a specific person. The procedure for submitting such an application has been clarified. In particular, the authenticity of the signature of a disabled citizen on the said application can be confirmed by an inspection report from the body paying the pension. If care is provided for a disabled child or a person declared incompetent, such an application is submitted on behalf of his legal representative. In this case, a disabled child who has reached 14 years of age has the right to submit an application on his own behalf.

It has been established that the compensation payment is assigned from the month in which the caregiver applied for its appointment with all the necessary documents, but not earlier than the day the right to the specified payment arises. If not all necessary documents are submitted, the body paying the pension is obliged to explain which documents should be submitted additionally. If such documents are submitted no later than 3 months from the date of receipt of the relevant clarification, the month of application for compensation payment is considered to be the month of receipt of the application.

The list of grounds for termination of compensation payments has been supplemented by the case of recognition of a disabled citizen or person providing care as deceased or missing. A change of place of residence by a disabled citizen, entailing a change in the body paying him a pension, is not grounds for termination of the compensation payment.

The previous procedure for providing compensation payments to non-working able-bodied persons caring for disabled citizens, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 25, 1994 N 549, was declared invalid.

This document is amended by the following documents:

Resolution after 7 days from July 1, 2012

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 31, 2008 N 1101

Reading time: 8 minutes. Views 85 Published Oct 14, 2015

Today we will talk about a payment that is partial compensation for lost earnings to non-working able-bodied persons caring for disabled citizens. This payment is provided for by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 26, 2006 No. 1455 “On compensation payments to persons caring for disabled citizens.” Currently, 491 people in the Yuryevets district receive compensation payments. Editorial staff member M. Krainov asked Z.V., a specialist-expert from the department of NSAIDs and OPPZL of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the Yuryevetsky municipal district, to tell us about this type of payment. Kuzmin.

– Zinaida Vladimirovna, what is the amount of compensation payment?

– The monthly compensation payment is 1200 rubles.

– Who are the disabled citizens whose care entitles them to the establishment of compensation payments?

– These disabled citizens include: disabled people of the first group, disabled children under the age of 18, the elderly who, upon conclusion of a medical institution, require constant outside care or have reached the age of 80 years.

– Did I understand correctly that persons who have reached the age of 80 are considered disabled regardless of their state of health and no additional certificates from medical institutions are required?

- Yes this is true. A conclusion from a medical institution regarding the need for constant outside care is required only for those citizens who have not reached the age of 80.

– Is it possible to assign a compensation payment if a conclusion on the need for constant outside care is issued to a disabled person of the second group who has not reached the generally established retirement age?

- Unfortunately no. The circle of persons whose care gives the right to establish compensation payments is limited by current legislation. In this case, not the first, but the second disability group was established. And the conclusion of a medical institution about the need for constant outside care has legal significance only for elderly citizens.

– Under what conditions and to whom is compensation paid?

– It is assigned to persons living in the territory of the Russian Federation if they are able-bodied, do not work and do not receive unemployment benefits, and provide care for the listed categories of disabled citizens.

– Is the payment only due to relatives living together and caring for disabled citizens?

– The specified payment is established for able-bodied persons, regardless of family relationships and the fact of cohabitation with disabled citizens.

– What is meant by the concept of care? Are there any provisions in the law that spell out what the responsibilities of an able-bodied person are when providing care?

– No, the current legislation does not contain any list of functions that must be performed by persons caring for disabled citizens. The scope of these responsibilities is determined by the disabled pensioner.

– Does a wife caring for her disabled husband of the first group have the right to a compensation payment if she herself is a pensioner and receives an old-age pension?

– No, persons who are recipients of pensions are not considered able-bodied citizens. Even if this woman was granted a pension early, for example, in connection with teaching, medical activities or for some other reason. The type of pension does not matter. Persons receiving any pension, regardless of its type and basis for assignment, are considered disabled.

– Can a compensation payment be awarded to a non-working student caring for a grandmother who has reached the age of 80?

- Yes maybe. When determining the compensation payment, even the fact that he receives a scholarship does not matter.

– What if care is forced to be provided by a family member who has not reached the age of majority? For example, in a family there is an 11-year-old disabled child, the parents work, but there is a 15-year-old sister who, after school, will feed, look after, and provide the necessary assistance.

– Compensation payment is issued if the caregiver has reached 16 years of age. But there may be situations when the said payment can be established earlier than this age, if this does not contradict labor legislation. Thus, in cases of receiving general education or continuing to master the basic general education program of general education in a form of education other than full-time, or leaving a general education institution in accordance with federal law, an employment contract can be concluded by persons who have reached the age of 15 years.

With the consent of one of the parents and the guardianship and trusteeship authority, an employment contract can be concluded with a student who has reached the age of 14 to perform light labor in his free time from school that does not harm his health and does not disrupt the learning process. Compensation payments to minors caring for disabled citizens can be established taking into account these provisions of labor legislation.

Persons caring for disabled citizens do not have the right to establish a monthly compensation payment if they are registered with the employment service and receive unemployment benefits.

– Does a woman caring for a disabled child who is on leave to care for this child until she reaches the age of 3 years have the right to establish a compensation payment?

– In accordance with labor legislation, such a woman retains her place of work (position). And since labor relations have not ceased, such a woman is considered to be working. Accordingly, she does not have the right to establish a monthly compensation payment.

– If an able-bodied person cares for two disabled citizens, will he be compensated for each such citizen? For example, an able-bodied daughter does not work and takes care of her mother and father, who have reached the age of 80.

– Yes, compensation payments are established for one non-working able-bodied person for each disabled citizen. Therefore, in the above situation, two compensation payments will be established for an able-bodied daughter caring for her parents.

– Who is the compensation payment paid to: an able-bodied person or a disabled citizen?

– Despite the fact that the specified payment is intended for an able-bodied person providing care, it is made towards the pension assigned to the disabled citizen, and he himself disposes of the amount received.

– What documents are required to process a compensation payment?

– To assign a compensation payment, the following documents are submitted: application from the caregiver. It is drawn up on a standard form. In this application, the able-bodied person must indicate the start date of care and information about his place of residence, as well as a statement from the disabled citizen about his consent to be cared for by a specific person. Such a statement is not required from parents caring for a disabled child; in relation to the caregiver: passport, work book, certificate from the body paying the pension at his place of residence stating that he was not assigned a pension, certificate from the employment service about his non-receipt of unemployment benefits. In relation to a disabled citizen: passport, work book, document confirming the fact of establishing disability group 1, document recognizing a child under 18 years of age as disabled, conclusion of a medical institution on the need of an elderly citizen for constant outside care. If documents confirming that you are a disabled citizen are available in the pension file, their submission is not required.

– What if the applicant at the time of filing an application has only part of the required documents?

– If not all necessary documents are attached to the application, the caregiver is given an explanation of what additional documents need to be submitted. If such documents are submitted no later than 3 months from the date of receipt of the relevant clarification, the month of application for compensation payment is considered to be the month of receipt of the application.

– How long does it take to review documents for compensation payments?

– The decision to assign a compensation payment is made by the body paying the pension within 10 days from the date of submission of applications with all the necessary documents.

– And if for some reason a compensation payment is refused, are the caregivers or the disabled citizen informed about this?

– In case of refusal to assign a compensation payment, the body paying the pension, within 5 days from the date of the relevant decision, notifies the caregiver and the disabled citizen or his legal representative, indicating the reason for the refusal and the procedure for appealing the decision.

– From what period is compensation payment assigned?

– The compensation payment is assigned from the month in which the caregiver applied for its appointment with applications and all necessary documents to the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, but not earlier than the day the right to the specified payment arises. Such a day may be the day of dismissal from work of an able-bodied person, the day of termination of payment of unemployment benefits to him, the date indicated in the application for the start of care for a disabled citizen; the day of recognition of the citizen being cared for as a disabled person of the first group, a disabled child; the day an elderly citizen is issued a certificate from a medical institution stating that he needs constant outside care, or the day he reaches the age of 80, etc.

– Over what period is the compensation payment made?

– Compensation payment is established for the period of caring for a disabled citizen. The compensation payment is terminated upon the occurrence of the following circumstances: the death of a disabled citizen or a caregiver; termination of care, confirmed by a statement from a disabled citizen or an examination report from the body paying the pension; assigning a pension to the caregiver, regardless of its type and size, or unemployment benefits; performance of paid work by a disabled citizen or caregiver; the expiration of the period for which the disabled citizen was assigned the first disability group or the category “disabled child”; a disabled child reaches the age of 18, if upon reaching this age he has not been assigned the first disability group; placement of a disabled citizen in a state or municipal inpatient social service institution; deprivation of parental rights to a parent caring for a disabled child.

– Who informs the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund about the occurrence of these circumstances?

– The caregiver is obliged to notify the body paying the pension within 5 days of the occurrence of circumstances leading to the termination of the compensation payment. Otherwise, he will have to reimburse the overpaid amounts.

From this article you will learn:

What categories of elderly people can be cared for?
Who can arrange care for an elderly person?
What amount of compensation for care is assigned by the state?
How to arrange care for an elderly person
What package of documents needs to be collected?
What changes must be reported to the Pension Fund?

Due to their age and health status, older people require special care, which requires certain knowledge and skills. It is difficult for a person over 80 to cope even in everyday life without outside help - he needs the care of others. Activities caring for disabled people are paid by the state in the amount established by current legislation. Who is eligible to receive this benefit? What documents do I need to complete to care for an elderly person? You will find answers to these questions in our article.

Who can obtain supervision and documents for caring for an elderly person?

Since old age implies deterioration in a person's health (both physical and mental), he needs daily care. Caring for an elderly person is not an easy task; you need to be not only mentally and physically prepared for this, but also have certain knowledge. Not everyone knows that caring for an elderly citizen is paid from the state treasury. True, this can hardly be called remuneration, since the payment is more like light compensation.

This benefit is intended for persons caring for disabled citizens, which include elderly people over 80 years of age.

disabled people of the first group, not counting disabled people of the first group since childhood;
people of retirement age who need daily care according to a document received from a medical institution.

The number of legal acts regulating relations in caring for an elderly person includes Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1455 “On compensation payments” and Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 343 “On monthly compensation payments”. The benefit is paid monthly in the amount of 1200 rubles.

The legislator does not prohibit caring for several elderly people at the same time. In such a situation, the payment will be calculated for each ward according to their number. For example, if a citizen provides documents for caring for an elderly person regarding two pensioners under his care, then he is entitled to 2,400 rubles.

The amount of benefits for caring for an elderly person can be increased in proportion to the coefficient if this is provided by the region of the pensioner. For example, in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug or Tyumen Region this coefficient is 1.6. That is, the compensation payment will be increased according to the formula: 1200 x 1.6 = 1920.

Compensation payments for caring for an elderly person are not indexed.

Of course, 1200 rubles is an amount disproportionate to the needs and requirements of an elderly person. But it is accrued as an increase to the pension and is a small financial assistance from the state to the person who is not afraid to take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly citizen.

Not only relatives and friends, but also strangers can provide daily assistance to a pensioner. If someone from the outside is caring for a disabled person, then the relatives are required to sign a document in the form of a notarial agreement on guardianship of the elderly person.

Let's give requirements for a caregiver according to the law:

have a permanent place of residence in the Russian Federation;
the ability to perform functions that generate income;
have a document confirming the absence of official employment or a document confirming full-time training;
approval of the future assistant by an elderly person in need of care;
availability of an official document confirming that the person who agreed to care for the pensioner does not receive social benefits or a pension.

Compliance with the last point is of great importance, since the purpose of the compensation payment for caring for an elderly person is partial compensation of the person’s possible income, but when he has a document confirming the presence of a source of income in the form of a pension or benefit, it turns out that the state pays the amount intended for the same purpose repeatedly.

Students and apprentices can also receive compensation, since training is not equivalent to employment, and a scholarship is not one of the benefits the receipt of which is an obstacle to the calculation of compensation payments for caring for an elderly person.

It should be noted that the implementation of entrepreneurial activity, as well as any other activity that is formalized by the relevant documents - an employment or civil law contract, - lawyer, security, etc., is regarded by the legislator as official employment.

If a citizen has the status of an individual entrepreneur and during the suspension of his activities takes care of an elderly person, compensation will still not be accrued to him. He will be able to count on payment only after presenting a document confirming the termination of business activity.

A citizen who has reached the age of fourteen is allowed to care for a disabled person if he has a document confirming the consent of the parent or guardian, as well as the guardianship and trusteeship authority, if this activity does not have a negative impact on the health and education of the minor.

A person providing assistance to an elderly person (or several elderly people) must have an understanding of those responsibilities that he will have to perform:

Pay the bills of a disabled person (utilities, taxes, etc.) at the expense of the latter.
Buy food, medicine, personal hygiene products and other things necessary for an elderly person.
Help a disabled person solve everyday problems and provide proper care.
Defend the rights and interests of older people.
Carry out financial transactions with the ward’s funds in his interests. Every year, the guardian must submit documents in the form of a report on the operations performed to the guardianship authorities.

The legislative acts of our country do not provide for such a concept as “guardianship of an elderly person with the right to subsequent inheritance of property,” that is, there is no rule of law according to which the right to inherit his property passes to the guardian of an elderly person. If a disabled citizen wishes to leave any property to his guardian as an inheritance, this must be reflected in the will.

Basic list of documents for caring for an elderly person and registration algorithm

Preparation of documents for caring for an elderly person begins with the submission of an appropriate application.

If we consider the procedure for processing payments for the care of an elderly person, we can note that this procedure is not very complicated:

Provide a document confirming the consent of the elderly person with the candidacy of a guardian.
Submit an application to the Pension Fund branch. The document can be sent either through a personal visit to a government agency or through the government services portal.
Receive the results of the consideration of the application, which must be processed no later than 10 days from the date of submission.

If the result is negative, then the applicant must be sent a corresponding document within 5 days explaining the procedure for appealing this decision.

Here are a few nuances regarding the calculation of the payment in question:

it begins from the month of submitting an application to the Pension Fund with the necessary documents for caring for an elderly person, but not before the right to receive benefits arises;
if the documents do not meet the requirements, Pension Fund employees must inform the applicant about this;
A period of three months is given for the production of missing documents. After it expires, you will need to submit your application again.

As already noted, in order to assign compensation, it is necessary to collect a package of the following documents for caring for an elderly person:

An application for payment on behalf of a person who will care for a person in need of care.
A statement from a disabled citizen expressing his agreement with the candidacy of the person who will provide care. This document must also contain the full name and passport details of both persons. The application can be drawn up by an official representative of an elderly person in the event of the latter’s incapacity. There is a possibility that the pensioner’s signature will need to be certified by a special document - an inspection report from the Pension Fund.
Passport of a disabled person and a person who has assumed caregiving responsibilities.
Work records of both citizens, as well as documents (certificates) confirming the absence of accrual of pensions and unemployment benefits, which must be obtained by the caregiver from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and the Employment Center, respectively.
A document (certificate) from the tax office confirming the fact that the caregiver is not engaged in entrepreneurial activity.
A document confirming the right to receive benefits for caring for a disabled citizen (extract or certificate).
Extract from the certificate of examination of a disabled person recognized as disabled from the Federal State Institution for Medical and Social Expertise in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (in the case of caring for a disabled person).
Conclusion from a medical institution on the need for constant supervision of an elderly person.
Permission from a parent and guardianship authority to care for a disabled minor, taking into account that this activity will not harm the learning process.
A document from the place of study (certificate) confirming full-time study.

It should be noted that additional documents may be required to provide care for an elderly person during payment processing. The pension authority may check the regularity of care for an elderly person.

A person who has taken on the responsibility of caring for an elderly person must indicate in the application for benefits:

in the “header” of the document - the territorial body of the Pension Fund, as well as your full name;
SNILS identification number;
your citizenship;
passport data (series, number, date of issue of the document, date and place of birth);
information about registration and place of residence (country, city, street);
phone number;
unemployed status (for example: “Currently not employed”);
the date of commencement of caring for the elderly person, as well as his full name;
circumstances requiring daily assistance to a pensioner;
a request for payment, referring to the norms of current legislation;
documents attached to the application;
date and signature with transcript.

The legislator also provides for those cases in which guardianship authorities may refuse to provide care for an elderly person. These are situations where the guardian has:

alcohol/drug addiction;
severe diseases (tuberculosis, AIDS, etc.);
criminal record.

And also in the absence of:

characterizing documents from work or permanent place of residence;
notarized consent of relatives of an elderly person for guardianship.

A person caring for an elderly person is obliged to notify the Pension Fund within 5 days of the occurrence of circumstances that exclude the possibility of receiving benefits. As in the case of processing payments, you can notify the Pension Fund either in person or through an online resource. Once the information is received by the Pension Fund, the accrual of compensation payments will be stopped from the beginning of the next month.

Let's look at examples of circumstances that serve as grounds for termination of benefit payments:

death of a disabled person;
the termination of guardianship was confirmed by the elderly person or the commission, which drew up the corresponding document based on the results of the audit: the guardian is now the recipient of any type of pension or unemployment benefit;
expiration of the time period for which the first disability group was established:
a disabled person has been assigned the status of a disabled person since childhood;
referral of an elderly person to an institution where social services are provided on an inpatient basis.

Failure to timely notify the Pension Fund of the occurrence of events leading to the termination of payments may subsequently lead to the recovery of the wrongfully received amount. Here are a few more events, the occurrence of which should be immediately reported to the Pension Fund:

death of the person who received compensation;
change of place of residence of an elderly person (the accrual of benefits may be suspended until the necessary documents are submitted for the new place of residence).

Recipients of benefits often have questions about payment for the period of care for an elderly person that preceded the submission of documents to establish this payment. The legislator has established the following rules in this regard:

for a citizen who has not received compensation due to the fact that he did not submit documents to care for an elderly person, funds must be accrued for the past three years (based on a corresponding application);
if the benefit was not accrued due to the fault of the Pension Fund, then the funds are paid in full for the entire period.

Since caring for an elderly person is an activity that requires both moral and physical strength, the legislator decided to include this period in the work experience of the caring citizen. The only condition is official employment before caring for an elderly person and immediately after its completion. For each year of assistance provided to a senior citizen, a pension coefficient is calculated, which is 1.8 points.

Old people are most susceptible to all sorts of negative factors affecting their condition; they are more difficult to tolerate diseases. This means they need care, care and attention. Currently, older people, starting from the age of 70, become less independent and need outside help and special treatment. What can we say about 80-year-olds... They need even more patience and empathy from the person caring for them, as well as special care.

Preparation of documents for caring for an elderly person is not for those who want to benefit from the current situation. Rather, on the contrary, caring for a disabled pensioner requires a colossal return and enormous time costs, which are practically not reimbursed financially.

If you are not sure that you can provide your loved one with proper care and attention, it is better to turn to professionals. Network of boarding houses for elderly care "Autumn of Life" will take care of the health of people dear to you.
