Federal beneficiaries: list, payments, rights

Every citizen of the Russian Federation should know that federal beneficiaries are determined by federal law. There are several categories of citizens who are fully entitled to receive payments and social assistance from the Pension Fund.

Who is considered a federal beneficiary

It should be borne in mind that federal benefits are paid from funds that are formed in the corresponding level of the state budget. Such payments cannot be paid in only one city, they are universal, therefore, every citizen who has the right to benefits and who has applied to the relevant authorities will be able to count on the help of the state. Let us consider in more detail what federal beneficiaries are. The list of citizens entitled to receive payments consists of:

1. Veterans, no matter what war they took part in.
2. Families of veterans who participated in hostilities but who are no longer alive can also count on payments.
3. This includes participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident, as well as citizens who somehow suffered from this disaster.
4. Payments should be received by citizens who were prisoners during the period of fascism.
5. Citizens of the Russian Federation who are heroes of the Soviet Union, Heroes of Russia and citizens who have received the Order of Glory, as well as heroes of socialist labor can receive benefits.
   
6. This category also includes military personnel who served during the Second World War, providing air defense, as well as those who were on the construction of frontline facilities.
7. The list of federal beneficiaries is supplemented by children with disabilities, as well as people with disabilities.

These are the main categories of citizens who can count on payments from the state.

The main differences between regional and federal benefits

Federal beneficiaries most often include citizens who have been granted social assistance in accordance with the federal laws of Russia. Regional beneficiaries are determined at the regional level. The most important difference between these two concepts is the level of the budget from which the citizen will receive assistance. It should be noted that federal benefits are not subject to adjustment, since only higher structures can make any changes, but regional ones can change at the local level.

Federal benefits for war veterans and residents of Leningrad during the blockade

People who defend their homeland, who were deprived of all benefits at a certain time, have every right to make up for what was lost from the federal budget. Such citizens include veterans, those who participated in hostilities, as well as people who have the title “Resident of the besieged Leningrad”. In this case, the benefits to federal beneficiaries will be as follows:

1. Pension opportunities compared to other citizens of the Russian Federation can be somewhat expanded. Such pensioners are allowed to apply for two pensions at the same time, for example, for old age and disability. As for the blockade, they can count on additional cash security.
   
2. If the beneficiary needs housing, then the state can provide it to them. For a single veteran, the housing area may be 36 m ² .
3. The authorities made sure that all comprehensive support measures were taken, which included: benefits for housing and communal services (allowed to pay 50%), a city telephone is connected out of turn, free service in departmental clinics, free dental prosthetics. For citizens who still continue to work, the company must provide leave at a time that is convenient for them, in addition, if you need to provide additional leave, it can be 35 calendar days.
4. Federal beneficiaries of this category can be accepted out of turn in nursing homes.

WWII veterans may not pay property taxes, and in some regions the payment of land tax is also canceled.

Disability benefits

Federal beneficiaries include people with disabilities of the first, second and third groups, as well as children with disabilities. This category of persons has the full right to receive payments from the state, while the amount of such monetary compensation depends on the degree of limited person. If we consider the form of providing benefits, then we can safely say that they can be not only in cash but also in kind, for example, medicines can be provided to federal beneficiaries for free. In terms of time, assistance can be one-time, monthly or annual.

Additionally, this category of Russian citizens can still use their right to general benefits, which include 50 percent payment of utility bills, sanatorium treatment and social benefits. It is important to remember that a citizen must be an officially recognized disabled person, and for this there must be an ITU certificate that confirms the disability.

Beneficiaries who are Chernobyl liquidators

Federal beneficiaries are citizens who were not only liquidators at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but also were exposed to radiation. In this regard, the state provides the following support measures to this category:

1. Every month, compensation is paid to the citizens themselves, as well as to their children, who are not yet 14 years old, for the purchase of essential goods.
2. Compensation is paid once a year for damage caused by radiation.
3. If disability has been established, then lump sum payments are made.
4. The cost of housing and communal services is only 50%.

To get some benefits from the state, it is worth taking care that everything has been documented. Separately, we can distinguish citizens who became disabled due to the fact that they suffered from radiation. They may be provided with additional assistance:

1. Such citizens may be provided with housing (one-time).
2. If a person works, then he is entitled to an additional vacation of 14 days at a convenient time for him.
3. If a person is temporarily considered incapable of work, then he is paid an allowance in the amount of the average wage.
4. A beneficiary can take advantage of the opportunity to be treated without a queue in a medical institution and sent to sanatoriums.
5. If a child beneficiary needs a place in a kindergarten, then he must be admitted without waiting in line.
   
6. There is an opportunity to get a place in a nursing home.

It should be remembered that federal beneficiaries are required to submit relevant documents confirming their status.

Categories of beneficiaries

It should be noted that not only veterans of the Great Patriotic War and the liquidators of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant may be treated as beneficiaries, in fact, there are many more such citizens. Veterans of any other military operations also belong to preferential categories; they also have the right to social support from the state. Let's take a closer look at what federal veteran beneficiaries are entitled to:

1. Such citizens are entitled to free housing.
2. Set home phone out of turn.
3. Pay for utilities only 50%.
4. Receive medical services out of turn.
5. If a person became disabled as a result of hostilities, then he is paid a disability allowance.

There are additional services, but for each category of beneficiaries they can be their own.

How is the preference issued?

In order to be able to receive payments, federal beneficiaries must undergo the following clearance procedures:

1. First you need to visit the clinic and get advice from your doctor, who will determine if you can hope for help from the state.
2. If a person has the right to receive payments, then you need to go to the Pension Fund, write an application there and submit a certain package of documents.
   
3. Employees of the Pension Fund are required to issue a certificate stating the date when it will be possible for a citizen to receive medicines.
4. Each month, the beneficiary will be obliged to visit his attending physician in order to get such a certificate for receiving medication from him.

Recall that in order to receive regional benefits, you must also submit documents to the clinic so that you can arrange a preference.

What documents should be prepared

It should be clearly understood that only the Pension Fund manages federal benefits, so it’s worth submitting such documents there:

1. Passport of a person who applies for benefits.
2. SNILS.
3. Certificate of a pensioner, if any.
4. A certificate that explains why a citizen has the right to apply for social assistance.
5. If documents are issued for a disabled child, a metric is provided.

When applying to the Pension Fund, you will need to write a statement, then they will explain in detail how to proceed.

Who is eligible for social assistance?

It’s not enough to know what federal beneficiaries are, who belongs to them, since the three main categories of federal benefits also occupy a special place in the Russian Federation:

1. First of all, we will consider monthly cash payments, which can be established only for certain categories of citizens. As a rule, these include people with disabilities of different groups, veterans, prisoners of fascism and people who were under the influence of radiation. The Heroes of the USSR, the families of the dead soldiers during their service, can also count on such payments. How much such payments will be made depends on the category of person.
   
2. I must say that a federal beneficiary of any category has the right to use a set of social services. These benefits include free medication, out-of-turn service in clinics, as well as relaxation in sanatoriums.
3. Additional payments can be received by citizens of the Russian Federation who have awards for special achievements and merits.

Who is eligible for monthly payments

Having carefully studied who these federal beneficiaries are, who belongs to them, you should dwell separately on monthly cash payments. First of all, it is worth noting that such payments can be regarded as material support to citizens who really need it. Consider several features of such material assistance:

1. If a person is legally entitled to receive monthly payments, then such money can be assigned on one basis.
2. If a citizen is entitled to benefits at the same time for several federal reasons, then the largest amount is paid.
3. At the same time, citizens who are affected by radiation have the right to receive two payments at once.

Citizens will receive completely different payments, as they depend directly on the category. Size can be approved by the government and indexed annually.

What is the essence of additional material support?

In addition to monthly payments, there is such a thing as additional cash. They are also allocated by the federal budget and assigned to certain categories of persons. Let us consider in more detail who belongs to federal beneficiaries of pensioners who are entitled to receive such payments:

1. If a citizen is a participant in the Second World War, he has the right to receive a surcharge of 1,000 rubles.
   
2. For prisoners of concentration camps who at the time of imprisonment have not reached the age of majority, such payments amount to 500 rubles.
3. Additional material support is provided to the widows of servicemen who died in other wars, except for the Second World War, to citizens who have the identity card of a resident of besieged Leningrad.

All of these citizens have the full right to receive additional security.

Conclusion

The list of benefits that are established by federal law is quite extensive. Having examined in detail who the federal beneficiaries are, who belongs to them, we can safely say that in fact there are many such categories of citizens, and they are all worthy of receiving social benefits. If all the documents are available and submitted to the Pension Fund, no one has the right to refuse such citizens. There are also a number of additional federal services that these people can use, including free medical services, lower utility bills, and compensation for transportation costs.
