Additional payment for children of war in 2021

Explanations from the Department about “children of war”

Today, it is simply impossible to give an exact formulation of who exactly has the status of “children of war.” This is due to the fact that the legislative initiative put forward in 2014 has not yet passed beyond the draft stage. In other words, the current federal legislation does not define this issue, and the status of “children of war” is not widespread.

At the same time, the bill has not been rejected, but is under consideration, which allows its provisions to be used as a theoretical basis for a more detailed consideration of this issue.

In accordance with the provisions of the bill, it is established that “children of war” will have the right to the following social support measures:

Cash payment. The monthly payment amount should be 1 thousand rubles. At the same time, the possibility of its annual indexation has been established.
Free pass . Beneficiaries in the category discussed in the article will be able to use all types of municipal and suburban transport without paying.
Annual medical examination . Since citizens classified as “children of war” are elderly, issues related to maintaining health and preventing diseases are important to them. For this reason, medical examinations for these beneficiaries should be annual.
Installing a phone out of turn. Despite the development of cellular communications, many older citizens prefer to use landline home phones. This is especially true for residents of small towns and villages, where the quality of mobile communications can be quite low.
Extraordinary admission to social services. According to the provisions of the bill, “children of war” have priority when determining the order of priority for receiving social services.

In a small number of regions of the Russian Federation, there are local programs under which “children of war” are entitled to certain benefits.

It should be noted here that the provision of these benefits to beneficiaries is carried out on the initiative of local authorities. Considering that there is significant regional differentiation in income levels and the capabilities of local budgets, it should be noted that the level of support for older citizens belonging to this category is different in each subject of the federation.

What benefits will be provided to children of war in Moscow?

According to the project, children of war are a socio-demographic group of citizens of the Russian Federation who survived the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 (hereinafter referred to as the period of the Great Patriotic War) and the Second World War as children (under the age of 18 as of September 3, 1945) , whose permanent place of residence is registered in the city of Moscow.

For this category of citizens, it was proposed to establish a monthly payment of 1,584 rubles. The payment is provided to persons who do not have legal grounds to receive other additional measures of social support established by federal legislation or the legislation of the city of Moscow.

According to the initial draft presented by representatives of the United Russia party, Law No. 70 of November 3, 2004 “On measures of social support for certain categories of residents of the city of Moscow” proposes to establish a separate norm dedicated to children of war.

the right to free travel in the city of Moscow on all types of urban passenger transport (except taxis and minibuses);
the right to free travel by rail commuter transport;
preferential right to join horticultural, gardening and dacha non-profit associations of citizens;
providing, if there are medical indications, unemployed war children with free vouchers for sanatorium-resort treatment through the social protection authorities and reimbursement of expenses for travel by rail to the place of treatment and back for the specified vouchers;
free production and repair of dentures (except for the costs of paying for the cost of precious metals and metal-ceramics);
preferential right to admission to organizations providing inpatient social services or organizations providing semi-stationary social services, extraordinary admission to organizations providing social services at home

According to the president’s speech, payments are received by veterans and home front workers. The head of state mentioned another category: citizens equal to veterans. An explanation of this term must be sought in Federal Law-5, which regulates support measures for veterans. In fact, this group includes the same citizens who are mentioned in Decree No. 186.

Citizens who support the initiative to adopt a bill at the Federation level refer to the regional practice of implementing the “Children of War” program, since it is quite successful and useful. Many pensioners, whose standard of living is far from the national average, can afford a little better life thanks to payments and compensation.

Let us explain that inpatient social services are round-the-clock services in boarding homes, boarding houses, hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Semi-stationary is a time-limited service in boarding homes, boarding houses, hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Home care is the service provided by a visiting social service worker to the elderly, disabled and sick.

Governor Vladimir Sipyagin provided new benefits to residents of the Vladimir region who belong to the category of “Children of War”. Now people born between June 22, 1928 and September 3, 1945 have received the right to extraordinary admission to social service organizations that provide services at home, as well as in semi-stationary and stationary forms. This support measure is enshrined in the decree of the head of the region “On the procedure for the provision of social services by social service providers in the Vladimir region.”

civilian personnel;
intelligence and counterintelligence officers;
employees of military enterprises;
partisans, members of underground groups who took direct part in the battles;
awarded for the defense of Leningrad and for life in the besieged city, etc. (the full list can be found in the law).

War children were offered a thousand rubles a month

The draft law providing for benefits to “children of war” contains those benefits that citizens belonging to other benefit categories can also count on. In this case, a person cannot receive two preferences at the same time, that is, they are not cumulative. The bill explicitly states that in this case the citizen has the right to choose what type of benefit to take advantage of.

A similar rule exists in most regional regulations that are currently in force.

Despite the fact that the initial draft of the law on “children of war” was first submitted for consideration to deputies of the State Duma back in 2014, this category of beneficiaries has not yet been allocated at the federal level. The corresponding status is assigned only in some regions on the basis of local regulations. The list of benefits for regional benefit recipients varies greatly depending on residence in a particular subject of the federation.

In the Russian Federation, children of war are those people who were born from 1928 to 1945.

To obtain this status, residence in the USSR throughout the Great Patriotic War is required.

Benefits for children of war include: paying taxes, providing medical care, improving living conditions and free travel on public transport.

As mentioned above, all benefits and payments provided to children of war in the Russian Federation are paid from regional budgets.

Therefore, the conditions for obtaining sizes may vary significantly depending on the region of residence.

Until now, federal legislation does not provide for the status of “child of war”; benefits are only regional in nature.

It is still not clear who belongs to this status.

According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, a citizen has the right to receive benefits in accordance with this status, but for this it is necessary to draw up an application for social protection at the place of residence and after that the right to receive certain benefits and another title, according to age and type of activity, appears.

This group of citizens is not entitled to federal benefits; there are regions where this group is not defined at all. Therefore, there are no pension payments due to “Children of War”. But often these people have other statuses with special advantages:

Home front worker;
Family member of a deceased WWII disabled person;
WWII veteran or disabled person.

And, as a result, there are rights to increased pensions, preferential and additional ones. payments, Federal level, for these categories.

The law does not limit the privileges of these pensioners solely to the rights to transport travel; they are also entitled to pension supplements.

Important! “Children of War” receive a pension supplement in the amount of 1,000 rubles every month. This amount is indexed annually on April 1.

Despite the fact that at the moment there are about 13 million citizens of retirement age within the Russian Federation who fall under the “children of war” status, the authorities’ promises to ensure security and support have nothing to do with actions. Only a few regional authorities showed consciousness and introduced local social assistance.

Such conscious regions include the Irkutsk region . A regional law was introduced there recognizing the status of “children of the Second World War.” Citizens with registration in the region, born between 06/23/28 and 09/03/45 inclusive, have the following social support:

Monthly amount for pension payments in the amount of 400 rubles;
Receiving services in social networks. walk-in establishments;
Providing medical care without a queue.

A group of citizens classified as “children of war” live in more than 15 regions of the Russian Federation. To register benefits, you need to go to the social authorities. protection at the place of residence.

For example, in Moscow and the Moscow region there are no legislative norms regulating benefits for “children of war.” But, regardless of this, local government is trying to follow federal initiatives in this direction in any way. The Moscow Duma also made a proposal to equalize children of war and home front workers.

Since regional authorities have limited powers, pension bonuses for “children of war” are very modest. Typically, supplements to pension payments do not exceed 1,000 rubles. Even with the efforts made by officials, this financial indicator will not rise.

A conversation about benefits for children during the war should begin with who, at the legislative level, belongs to this group. Legally, such a concept in the Russian Federation is not enshrined at the state level. There is only a draft Federal Law that defines this concept. This is truly a huge gap for a state that seeks to preserve its history. Benefits for children who survived the war in the Russian Federation officially exist only at the regional level, and even then not in all areas. Individual companies or service providers may also offer certain discounts privately.

Benefits for children of the 1941-1945 war are now officially provided only in certain regions and represent a different set of benefits. Summarizing them, you can get the following list:

One-time payments
Periodic supplements to pension
Utility subsidies
Preferential provision of medicines
Discounts on dentures and their installation
Benefits for using public transport
Rehabilitation/treatment in the state. hospitals and sanatoriums at the expense of the budget
Priority in line to specialists from medical, social and other government agencies.

As already noted, only a fifth of the regions of the Russian Federation offer benefits to war children in 2021. The rest use benefits in other categories, which children of war years often do not fall under.

However, there are areas in which programs to help such pensioners have been legislatively developed and are already being implemented. Depending on the size of the regional budget, the amount of assistance varies. Let's look at specific examples:

The Amur region pays war children 600 rubles monthly and provides free sanatorium treatment
Belgorod pays an additional 500 rubles, helping to quickly register in a nursing home.
In the Penza Territory, an additional payment is provided for pensioners born between 1928 and 1945, whose total income is at least 2 times lower than the subsistence level, and also guarantees subsidies for utilities.
The Krasnoyarsk region issues a monthly additional payment of 500 rubles, and on Victory Day, every war child receives 1,000 rubles.
In the northern capital, a child of war receives assistance in the amount of 3,000 rubles.
In Moscow, this category of elderly people was equated with labor veterans and provided them with all the corresponding benefits.

To find out whether the “Children of War” category of people is entitled to benefits and payments in a particular region in 2021, you should contact your local social protection department. Most regions offer the following preferences:

Preferential travel on transport
Free spa treatment
Free medicines
Cash surcharges
Funeral compensation.

It is expected that this year, children of war will have their pensions increased and benefits provided if the bill is approved.

Benefits for children of war are not given automatically. A pensioner needs to know where to go with this question: you need to submit an application to the social security department at your place of residence. For those who are unable to move independently, it is possible to submit an application through relatives or social workers. To do this, you will need to issue a power of attorney for them, certified by a notary.

What is the pension for children of war?

Home front worker;
Family member of a deceased WWII disabled person;
WWII veteran or disabled person.

And, as a result, there are rights to increased pensions, preferential and additional ones. payments, Federal level, for these categories.

The law does not limit the privileges of these pensioners solely to the rights to transport travel; they are also entitled to pension supplements.

Important! “Children of War” receive a pension supplement in the amount of 1,000 rubles every month. This amount is indexed annually on April 1.

The indexation amount is set in accordance with the Federal Law and the size of the budget for the current financial period and the forecast regarding the amount of inflation. The government developed the “Children of War” project, thanks to which this pension supplement would be distributed throughout the state. Unfortunately, the project will not be implemented in 2021. Since 2013, it has been submitted for consideration every year, but each time it is rejected and postponed.

In 2021, there is a plan to approve preferential payments and priorities for population groups classified as “children of war” at the federal level:

It is planned to equate “children of war” with the “home front worker” group and provide similar privileges;
Provide “children of war” with extraordinary medical and social security;
Provide free medications as prescribed by a doctor.

It is important to know!
Thirteenth (13) pension The difficulty in implementing the plan is that some of the citizens who fall into this preferential group already receive the required benefits and payments on other grounds. However, it is necessary to equalize citizens everywhere related to this preferential group.

Payments to “children of war” in Moscow: who is eligible and how to receive them

Bill No. 894010-7 was registered in February 2021 and is currently under consideration. Its author is State Duma deputy from the United Russia party Andrei Baryshev, who states that today there are about 13,000,000 citizens of this category living in Russia. And they had to not only survive the horrors of the war, but also rebuild the country after it. The youngest children of the war are already 75 years old. How much money is supposed to be allocated from the budget is not explained.

By the way, when similar initiatives were put forward by deputies of other parties, they were rejected precisely by representatives of United Russia due to the “lack of extra money in the budget.” The second argument used by critics is the lack of a clear definition in the legislation of who is considered a child of war.

The initiator of the bill currently being considered proposed to classify as such all citizens who were under 18 years of age before May 9, 1945.

It was proposed to set the amount of federal financial assistance to war children at 1,000 rubles per month. This amount must be indexed annually for inflation.

The set of benefits includes compensation of 25% of the cost of utilities and property taxes. The possibility of receiving these payments and benefits should not be conditioned by the mandatory absence of other types of material and other assistance.

As everyone knows, representatives of United Russia represent the majority in the State Duma, and almost all initiatives of deputies of this party are put forward with preliminary general approval. Therefore, the bill is unlikely to be rejected.

However, it was put forward in February, when officials vied with each other about the budget surplus and made very bright forecasts for 2020. The subsequent collapse in oil prices and other events forced them to calculate how much the Russian economy and citizens would suffer. Nobody talked about the surplus anymore.

Unfortunately, this has slowed down the progress of the bill: it lies in the Russian State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs without any progress. Most likely, he will go no further soon, simply because he was nominated at the wrong time.

The Russian government has not yet commented on it.

What do you think, will the movement of this bill eventually be unfrozen, and how long might it take until the budget is again ready to take on these expenses? I think this is a question for the fairly distant future. And what’s especially bad about this is that not all of the 13,000,000 children of war will be able to live to see this moment.

Thank you for your attention.

In areas where this group of people is defined by law, status can be acquired by writing a corresponding application to the administration or social protection authorities. The application is reviewed within 30 days, after which the applicant is issued an appropriate certificate.

Not only the pensioner himself, but also his immediate relatives: grandchildren, children or spouse can apply for status.

Social support measures for citizens who were minors during the Second World War are provided in 35 regions of our country. For example, in Moscow, from the beginning of 2021, monthly accruals have been introduced for people born from January 1, 1928 to September 3, 1945, in the amount of 1,584 rubles.

Funds are credited provided there are no other monthly additional payments.

Status of “children of war” in legislation

All categories of citizens who are related to the Second World War and receive any benefits in connection with this are indicated in Federal Law No. 5 of January 12, 1995. Such a category of beneficiaries as “children of war” is not specified in this law.

The issue of its introduction is problematic in the current Russian legislation. In particular, representatives of the Communist Party have repeatedly tried to achieve the adoption of the corresponding bill. However, in 2021, three bills approving additional benefits for war children were rejected at once (two bills were introduced by deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, one from the Liberal Democratic Party), approved by separate laws.

And just recently, on January 21, 2021, it became known that the State Duma again rejected two bills (KPRF and A Just Russia) on the introduction of preferences for children of war.

A Just Russia deputy Oleg Nilov proposed creating a working group to review and finalize the projects; a deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Denis Parfenov reminded deputies that Mikhail Mishustin had shown genuine interest in the status of “children of war” and called on legislators not to rush. However, the bills were rejected in the first reading.

In most bills, “children of war” are understood as citizens who did not directly participate in the Second World War, but suffered from the war due to their childhood.

What benefits do children of war have?

Possible measures to support children of war are determined by each region independently.

Krasnoyarsk Territory: children (persons under 18 years of age before September 3, 1945) of parents killed during the war are entitled to a one-time payment by May 9 in the amount of 1 thousand rubles, a monthly social benefit and compensation for expenses to the burial place of the father or mother in the amount of up to 25 thousand rubles.
Tver and Vladimir regions: a one-time payment of 1 thousand rubles for Victory Day.
Amur, Belgorod and Penza regions: monthly increase in pension.
Primorsky Krai: refund of 50% of the cost of flights and rail travel, as well as the full cost of the hemodialysis procedure, including rental housing and travel to the venue, as well as a discount in the form of half the cost of housing services, full refund of contributions for major repairs, extraordinary appointments in departments social services and preferential transport tax.
Vladimir region: provision of free legal assistance, provision of preferential travel in city and intercity transport, as well as compensation of 25% of the cost of services in the housing and communal services sector.
Orenburg: 50% discount on prescription drugs.
Buryatia: priority appointment at medical institutions and social assistance departments.
Vologda: a 50% discount on utility bills and a refund of 5 thousand rubles per year for the purchase of coal and firewood.

The lack of a clear legislative framework regarding children of war at the state level creates unequal conditions for residents of different regions. But local authorities are doing their best to provide comfort to elderly people born during the Great Patriotic War.

Benefits and payments to children of war
Allotted monetary compensation to war children
List of documents for obtaining benefits for orphans

tax relief;
free medicine;
housing discounts;
free use of public transport.

However, there are exceptions - these are people who, at the time of World War II, were listed as prisoners.

In some regions of the country, the authorities have additionally approved benefits for prosthetics, including in the dental field, and a citizen can also choose free railway travel. or air.

Although people born during the war did not take part in the battles, they provided incredible assistance to the army in the rear, and also suffered hunger and ended up in Nazi concentration camps. Therefore, the government of the country develops and approves new subsidies every year.

At the level of the country's constituent entities, separate acts have been adopted and are in force regulating the receipt of benefits and allowances. For example, Irkutsk region. is a leading region in providing financial support to people with this status.

Depending on the region of residence of a person, the following amounts of payments are assigned to him:

Subject	Subsidies, rub.
Nenets district	7 000
Yamalo-Nenets District	1 000
Vologda region	750
Amur region	720
Belgorod region	702
Leningrad region.	530
Krasnoyarsk region	400

Additional payment to pensions for children of war in 2021

The size of the allowance has not yet been mentioned in the projects, as well as the frequency of its accrual, but temporary and permanent accruals are approved at the regional level, therefore, most likely, the additional payment will be either one-time or monthly. Permanent pension supplements represent any fixed amount of money (usually within 1.5 thousand rubles). Such additional payments must be indexed annually, so their size gradually increases along with the inflation rate. Temporary incentives are one-time support, usually paid on Victory Day or another significant event.

In addition to the pension supplement, it is planned to legalize the provision of a certain list of benefits to war children. First of all, we are talking about a discount on utility bills. Almost all preferential categories of Russian citizens enjoy this preference, since it significantly reduces people’s financial expenses. Such a benefit is provided in the form of compensation for part of the costs of paying for electricity, water supply, sewerage, gas and rent or in the form of a subsidy for paying for these services.

One of the government support measures in 2021 is receiving a one-time payment. To do this, a citizen of the corresponding status must contact the nearest territorial department of social protection authorities at his place of residence with a full package of documents.

Helping this category of citizens is an essential duty of the state. Children of war are people who witnessed all the horrors of the Great Patriotic War. The sacred duty of the state is to care for those who were ready to the end, at the cost of their lives, to fulfill their civic duty to the Motherland, regardless of age.

Citizens who belong to the category of “children of war” in some regions can count on receiving benefits when using public vehicles, as well as when paying for utilities. Certain constituent entities of the Russian Federation allow citizens to receive the necessary medications for free or to be served in medical institutions without waiting in line.

The bill provides assistance to citizens who were born from June 22, 1928 to September 3, 1945. The document, which was never considered by the deputies, states that interested parties must necessarily confirm the fact of being on the territory of the Soviet Union during the period when the country was at war.

The project “On Children of War” has not yet been adopted at the federal level, although it has been considered by legislators for several years. However, such a concept as children of war already exists at the level of some regions. And the project is being successfully implemented. Benefits for war children are established individually; in each region, payments and compensation are prescribed in federal laws and regulations.

preparation of the required volume of documents, including:

passport;
birth certificate (if the main identification document is missing or the applicant’s year of birth has been changed);
certificate of residence;
certificate from the place of registration (if there are discrepancies with the above paragraph);
a certificate indicating the composition of the family;
details of the account to which the financial support will be received;
documents for the housing in which the applicant for status lives: certificate of ownership;
social tenancy/lease agreement.

Appeal to the authorized body - territorial division of social services. protection;
Drawing up an application and providing the required papers;
Familiarization with documents and their acceptance for consideration;
Checking the stated requirements and making a decision;
Providing the applicant with a certificate confirming the status;
Receiving benefits.

A one-time payment to war children or monthly financial support is accepted only in a few regions of the country. Since funding comes only from local budgets, the amounts of incentives are not large. However, in addition to bonuses, children of war can also claim additional benefits, the scope of which is established in the relevant local act of the subject.

Children of war should be understood as those citizens who were born between June 22, 1928 and September 3, 1945. Moreover, to obtain status it was necessary to reside permanently on the territory of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War. Benefits for war children are established in several categories:

tax;
medical;
housing;
transport (passes).

The category of children of war does not include those persons who were in prison during the war. The regions are significantly expanding the list of payments and benefits for war children. Thus, in some areas they additionally provide preferential conditions for prosthetics (including teeth) or travel around the country by rail or air travel.

Children of the war did not directly participate in hostilities during the war, but they provided all possible assistance in the rear, experienced hunger and suffering, and ended up in concentration camps. That is why many legislators have a strong desire to help such people live a dignified old age.

Article 6 of the draft Federal Law N 493165-6 “On Children of War”:

This Federal Law applies to citizens of the Russian Federation, as well as to foreign citizens and stateless persons who are classified as children of war permanently residing on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Who are the children of war?

Unlike some other countries (for example, Ukraine), Russia has not yet established a legislative definition of “war child” at the federal level. Logically, it follows that these are all those who at the time of the end of the Great Patriotic War were considered minors or were under a certain age

. In Russia, the social protection of everyone who in one way or another relates to the Second World War is regulated by the law “On Veterans”.

Accordingly, if a person was born before the start of the war, but did not work in the rear in 1941-1945 or did not ensure the country’s defense capability (or documents about this have not been preserved), formally he is not considered a veteran - and, accordingly, does not fall under any federal payments .

However, regions in Russia have the right to introduce social support measures for certain categories of the population, and in some of them there is also a category “Children of War”.

First of all, this is Moscow - there, just in 2021, a regional preferential category “children of war” appeared,

It included those who were born from September 3, 1927 to September 3, 1945. Therefore, the principle is this: the category of “child of war” in Moscow includes those who were under 18 years old at the end of the Second World War (that is, if a person survived the war as a minor, he belongs to the children of war,

Support measures in Moscow have existed since 2020, but then benefits and payments were assigned to those born since the beginning of 1928 (that is, the category was expanded to include those born from September to the end of 1927).

In other regions there is also a category “children of war”, but there is no uniform approach to dates of birth, for example:

Bashkortostan - benefits apply to those born from June 22, 1927 to September 3, 1945 (that is, if the person was under 14 years old at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War). They want to register the same years in the Rostov region;
Krasnoyarsk Territory, Stavropol Territory - everyone who was born from September 3, 1927 to September 3, 1945 (as in Moscow);
St. Petersburg - everyone who was born from June 22, 1928 to September 3, 1945 (that is, if the person was under 13 years old at the beginning of the war, or if he was born during the war).

Accordingly, the only criterion for determining whether a person falls under the category of “child of war” is his date of birth

. Neither income level, nor the presence of medals, nor work experience are taken into account - but at the same time, regions calculate age differently.

In addition to different approaches to determining age, different regions are ready to provide different amounts of benefits and payments to this category.

Monthly pension supplement for war children: details

Of the 85 constituent entities of Russia, only 18 provide assistance to children of war, the rest (including Moscow) are guided by other legislative norms, providing benefits and payments to disabled people of the Second World War, participants, widows or families of those killed.

But children of war do not receive payments if they do not fall into the described categories.

Within the framework of the bill, benefits for war children are not limited only to free travel on city transport, but also to real financial assistance. Thus, it is expected to make payments in the amount of 1 thousand rubles monthly, as a supplement to the pension. At the same time, payments to war children are subject to annual indexation in accordance with established standards related to inflation.

Article 8 of the draft Federal Law N 493165-6 “On Children of War”:

Monthly cash payments to war children are set at 1,000 rubles. The amount of the monthly cash payment is subject to indexation once a year from April 1 of the current year, based on the forecast level of inflation established by the federal law on the federal budget for the corresponding financial year and for the planning period.

In addition, financial support is expected in the form of mandatory benefits and privileges. Thus, legislators propose emergency installation of a home telephone, the services of which are also paid for under special, more favorable conditions. The “Children of War” program provides annual free medical examination, social support for those in need at home without waiting lists, and registration in nursing homes and homes for the disabled without waiting lists. These benefits are provided to war children in some regions, but only a few provide additional payments to pensions.

On average, there are about 13 million pensioners in the Russian Federation who fall under the category of children of war, only a few of them receive real help.

Some simply do not know that they are entitled to compensation and benefits, and social support authorities do not inform citizens about this possibility.

Despite the fact that not all regions supported the initiative of legislators, some nevertheless implemented support measures for war children at their local level.

These beneficiaries are provided with the following types of benefits:

transport (in public transport);
benefits when paying for all or certain types of utilities;
extraordinary care in medical institutions;
receiving free prescription medications.

In addition, in some regions, children of war receive an additional payment to their pension.

Thus, in the Amur region, pensioners receive payments in the amount of 600 rubles monthly, and in the Samara region, preferential prices are provided for dental prosthetics in all medical institutions, including paid and private clinics.

If the Federal Law “On Children of War” is adopted, many pensioners will receive payments and benefits established throughout the Russian Federation, which no state or municipal government body will have the right to refuse. In addition, regional practice shows that pensioners successfully exercise their rights under the project, taking advantage of free travel on public transport or priority enrollment in nursing homes, without burdening their relatives with the requirement of care, including medical care.

The definition of “children of war” is more used for static observation. Rosstat collects such data for different categories of participants in military operations. Obtaining the appropriate status requires the simultaneous fulfillment of a number of conditions:

time of birth - from June 22, 1928 to September 4, 1945;
permanent residence in the USSR during the Second World War;
Russian citizenship in the current time.

There is no concept of “children of war” in federal regulations. However, the state understands the importance of providing this category of persons with special benefits. After all, in wartime these children also had a hard time. Some of them were sent to death camps, others experienced constant hunger and lack of food, others lost their parents and were forced to be raised in specialized institutions or under the care of other relatives.

Additional payments and pension supplements

Monthly amount for pension payments in the amount of 400 rubles;
Receiving services in social networks. walk-in establishments;
Providing medical care without a queue.

Similar bills have been adopted in Tver , Novosibirsk , Amur , Volgograd and other regions.

The principles for registering the preferential category “Children of the Second World War” are regulated by law and may vary depending on the region.

But the general algorithm of actions can be presented as follows:

First, you should contact the MFC or social protection authorities.
Submit an application, specifying the desired method of receiving payment (bank account, card number, etc.). The application can also be completed on the government services website.
Prepare the required documents.
Submit a package of documents with the application. Afterwards, the authorities need time to approve and check the package. The terms of consideration are fixed by law and depend on the type of benefits.
Get it from the social authorities. protection confirmation authorizing the benefit.

It is important to know! What pension do the Presidents of Russia and the USA receive?

Copies required for registration:

passport or other identity document;
pensioner's ID
SNILS.

These documents are required when registering benefits. It all depends on the type of benefit; other documents may be needed:

registration documents from the house register;
TIN;

Certificates for awards and medals;

Before you start collecting documentation, you should check social media. authorities at the place of residence, clarify the list of documents required for registration.

Benefits for pensioners

Other regions give the right to receive benefits on other terms. Some regions can give the category of a child of the Second World War only on the basis of birth during the Second World War, while others if there is a condition in the form of the death of one of the parents during the war.

Payments to children of war in 2021

The absence of a federal law on benefits for war children does not mean that no support measures are provided for them. It’s just that each region now makes its own decision on the need and nature of subsidies.

Unfortunately, the list of constituent entities of the Russian Federation providing support to war children is very small. It does not cover even 25% of all territorial divisions. Today there are 20 regions where at least some types of benefits are provided.

May vary in different regions. Typically, the status of “Children of War” is assigned to people born from June 22, 1928 to September 3, 1945. Moreover, they had to reside permanently in the USSR. The exception is those who served their sentences on the lands of the Soviet Union. Usually this category includes people who did not participate in battles, but there are exceptions.

Now in Russia there are about 13 million people considered children of war, their approximate age is 83 years.

According to the general rule for all regions, you do not need to go anywhere to receive one-time payments. The application is written only to receive the appropriate certificate or medal for persons actively participating in charitable activities.

Funds for the anniversary date will be provided according to the data available in government databases. To receive benefits and monthly allowances, you must collect documents and apply for the appropriate status at one of the authorized bodies at your place of residence.

Using the example of Law of the Altai Territory of May 12, 2021 No. 31-ZS on the status of “Children of War”, to apply to the social protection authority, you must provide the following documents:

Application addressed to the boss for inclusion in the list of citizens entitled to benefits;
Passport (copy);
A document that can be used to confirm the applicant’s residence in the territory of the former Soviet Union. In a number of subjects, the place of residence corresponding to the place of application is legally fixed. This is something to pay attention to;
Insurance certificate (SNILS). It is planned to be withdrawn from the official document flow;

The list of documents may vary. For example, in some localities they may ask for a certificate of pension or pension certificate. If citizens have the right to receive several benefits, then summation does not occur for homogeneous benefits. This rule works if, for example, a person is both a home front worker and a “child of war.”

To obtain status and identification, you need to contact the social protection department or multifunctional center. Identification documents will be required.

In 2021, the federal law on war children has not been adopted. However, the category is established in some regions, therefore citizens who belong to it and have received a certificate have the right to receive regional benefits and cash payments: free provision of medicines and medical care. There are benefits for utility bills and tax preferences.

Pensions for war children of the DPR

Children of war on the territory of the DPR are entitled to the following benefits:

when reducing staff, preference was given to people in this category;
they are entitled to leave during a period suitable to them;
up to 2 weeks of vacation without pay;
temporary disability benefits are paid, 100% of wages;
extraordinary issuance of land plots for personal needs;
if the average monthly family income does not exceed the income for social benefits, then a 25% discount on gas payments is granted;
children of war who have disabilities can be served in hospitals for WWII veterans and hospitals.

The DPR authorities are considering a proposal to include in the category of “children of war” young citizens of the republic who suffered during the hostilities in the Donbass. The bill will be submitted for approval to the government of the self-proclaimed republic. If accepted, the children will receive help and support from the republic.

Perhaps in 2021 the bill on “children of the Second World War” will be adopted by the Russian government. It is necessary for the country's leadership to realize that people born in those years are not getting any younger, and, as a result, their lives are not getting easier. During the heyday of their powers, they provided the country with unbearable assistance, they did a lot, everything was restored from devastation in the shortest possible time.

“Children of War” program: benefits, allowances and benefits in 2021

Before applying for a pension supplement, you need to find out which body to contact and study the rules for drawing up an application. At the initial stage, a citizen will need to visit the social security department and find out whether benefits are provided in the region of residence.

In addition, employees of the specified authority will inform you what documents need to be collected when making an additional payment. B papers are used to confirm the status of a child of war.

A month is allotted for consideration of the application. Then social security officials make a reasoned decision. The response is sent to the applicant in the form of a letter.

Important! Depending on where the pensioner lives, the rules according to which the application is made to the social security department or to the local administration may change. In the latter case, it is assumed that the person lives in a small locality.

Often, social security authorities do not have a specific employee who is responsible for processing benefits. Therefore, documentation can be accepted by any employee of this body. A specially created commission will consider the acts.

Often a positive answer can be obtained, provided that all the papers have been collected.

a document by which the identity of a citizen is verified;
an application drawn up according to the established template;
