In accordance with the law, the state provides material compensation to certain categories of citizens. But there are situations when they cannot come for money on their own, so it makes sense to seek help. A power of attorney for the right to receive a pension is the easiest way to receive benefits to another person if the pensioner himself cannot do this.
Categories of citizens eligible for retirement
The state provides support to pensioners in the form of cash security, which is called a "pension". Depending on the grounds for receiving monetary compensation, it happens:
- By old age (citizens who have reached the age specified by law fall into this category).
- By disability (this category includes persons who are disabled due to poor health).
- By seniority (issued for citizens who engage in professional activities in certain areas).
How to apply for a power of attorney for a pension
Power of attorney - a certified document that is issued by one citizen to another for presentation to a third party. Pension power of attorney forms a notary can assure, but this service is paid. Officials of the organization where the pensioner receives benefits can certify such a document. This option is absolutely free and does not require confirmation from a notary public. Any person with this type of document will be able to receive a pension.
Ways of compilation:
- At a notary public in any public or private institution.
- At the place of residence of the pensioner in the council of the microdistrict.
- At the place of work or study of the principal.
- In a medical facility where a person is undergoing treatment.
There are some exceptions when trusted documents are equivalent to those notarized. In this case, we are talking about adults and capable persons who are under social protection. In this situation, the certificate is produced by the head or administration of the organization (allowance for the loss of the breadwinner).
The form of the power of attorney for retirement includes the following items:
- Place (full name of the structure) and date of issue.
- Personal data allowing identification of the principal and attorney (name, passport data, date and place of birth).
- Type of pension (old age, disability or length of service).
- The full name of the institution where the right to receive a pension is given (name of organization or private structure, existing address of location and contact numbers).
- The term of the power of attorney. If not specified, then the credentials will be invalid. The maximum validity period usually does not exceed three years.
- Full details of the official who recorded the authenticity of the power of attorney (name, position).
Power of attorney certification procedure
Necessary conditions for securing a trusted document:
- Power of attorney for a pension is confirmed by the signature of the person in charge of the enterprise or organization with a full indication of the surname, name and patronymic. The presence of the original seal (stamp) in the document is a prerequisite.
- In power of attorney certified by notarial authorities, a stamp is required.
- For persons who are under arrest prior to a court verdict, the documents are certified by the head of the SIZO.
According to a well-executed document, the recipient has the right to represent the interests of a pensioner in the Pension Fund at the place of registration:
- Submit on behalf of the principal applications for the appointment and recalculation of compensation.
- Receive the necessary documents for pension payments (certificates).
- Open a personal retirement account for your ward.
Termination of power of attorney
There are various circumstances on the basis of which the power of attorney to receive a pension can be terminated:
- The end of the period indicated in the document.
- Principal's decision on cancellation (the person issuing the power of attorney is obliged to notify attorneys and third parties in writing).
- Refusal of the attorney to fulfill his obligations.
- In connection with the death, absence and recognition of incompetent principals or attorneys.
How is the proxy pension delivered for more than 1 year?
Delivery takes place throughout the entire legal life of the power of attorney provided that the pensioner annually confirms the fact of registration at the place of receipt of the benefit. This circumstance is due to the fact that the place of registration, which must be indicated in a new document, may change. If the validity period is not specified, then the power of attorney becomes relevant within one year.
Verification Methods:
- Personal presence of an attorney with a passport and a statement on the extension of the payment of a pension by proxy.
- With the help of an application, passport data or extract, which contains facts about the place of residence stated by the pensioner himself.
- Provided that the principal has personally received the benefit at least once during the year. The validity of the power of attorney with a range of 1 year begins the countdown from this date.
Not accepted for enforcement proceedings:
- Documents of people serving time in correctional organizations.
- Power of attorney without a date of commission.
Starting from September 1, 2013, in addition to notarization, power of attorney for a pension can be confirmed by the organization (place of work or study of the principal) and the leadership of the medical institution where the pensioner receives the treatment he needs. Documents confirmed by the housing organization at the place of registration are not subject to production. Currently, a power of attorney can be issued for any period.
Conclusion
Labor legislation allows the payment of monetary compensation on the basis of an authorized document, if all civil law standards are complied with in the design. Therefore, the pensioner has all the rights and reasons to entrust the receipt of benefits to a third party.
