Benefits in the calculation of pensions for combatants. Who is entitled to the status of combat veterans and what does the state give for it

Last updated March 2019

Due to ignorance of the laws, war veterans miss the opportunity to enjoy certain benefits that can save their budget from unnecessary spending. Therefore, taking into account the latest news, we will consider in detail what benefits for war veterans in 2019 will be valid on the territory of the Russian Federation and whether they will differ from the benefits in 2018.

Combat Veteran Benefits 2019

Next year, as well as this year, benefits for combat veterans will be provided both at the federal and regional levels.

At the federal level, their provision is regulated by the following regulatory legal acts:

1. Federal Law No. 5-FZ of January 12, 1995 (as amended on October 30, 2017) "On Veterans".
2. Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
3. Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 N 4468-I "On the provision of pensions for persons who have completed military service ...".

No changes were made to the procedure and nature of their provision in 2019, which means that the “preferential” set will remain unchanged. Only the EDV, which veterans can receive instead of the social package, will traditionally be subject to indexation by a total of 4%.

Despite the fact that the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation are not legal acts, today one of them - the Resolution of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of April 13, 2016 N 11-P - still regulates the procedure for granting tax benefits. According to his position:

Monthly payments to war veterans should not be subject to personal income tax!

Tax legislation has not yet been brought into line with this decision of the Constitutional Court, however, its norms, recognized as unconstitutional, cannot be applied. It is expected that in 2018 the relevant changes will still be made to the Tax Code.

In the regions, additional preferences may be introduced at the level of local legislation. For more information on what regional benefits are currently in effect and whether they will be in effect next year, we will consider in a separate section below.

Retirement Benefits

They appear in:

1. Increased (compared to a regular pension) amount. For each veteran, it is calculated individually and will depend on:
   • work experience;
   • Territories of warfare;
   • Presence of injuries, disability.

   On average in Russia in 2017, it is 22,000 - 30,000 rubles.

2. A 32% supplement to the veteran's basic pension. In some regions, there are special multiplying factors, so the pension becomes even larger.
3. Receipt of one-time cash assistance (LFA). Its size, while maintaining the NSU, is 1731.76 rubles in 2017, and 2780.74 rubles if the NSU is abandoned.

Housing Benefits

Combat veterans may qualify for improved housing by obtaining a housing certificate.

Previously, until 2005, housing was allocated from the housing stock of the municipality. Now this benefit is enshrined at the federal level, so the provision of this type of assistance is sponsored from the state budget, and WBD receive cash certificates instead of housing in kind.

To qualify for the benefit, you must meet two criteria:

1. Go through the procedure for obtaining a WBD certificate in order to be able to document your status.
2. Correspond to the "need" parameter, that is:
   • Do not own real estate;
   • Own real estate that does not meet residential standards;
   • To live in a room under a social lease agreement that does not meet residential standards.

A step-by-step algorithm will help you figure out how to use the housing benefit.

STEP 1. We apply to the housing department of the local administration for registration with an application. How to make it - you can see here Or ask the administration staff.

Attached to the application are the following documents:

• Original and copy of the WBD passport and all family members (for children - birth certificates);
• Original and copy of WBD certificate;
• EGNR certificate (extract from Rosreestr);
• Extract from home book;
• Documents for housing (if the property has real estate, but it does not meet the standards);
• The conclusion of the interdepartmental commission / court decision, by which the housing is recognized as unfit for habitation (if in an emergency / dilapidated house)
• Social lease agreement (if the applicant is a tenant);
• Marriage or divorce certificate;
• Copy of personal account;
• Original and copy of SNILS of the applicant and family members.

After verification with copies, the original documents are returned.

STEP 2. We expect a response from the administration within 30 days from the date of application. If you have received a refusal to register, you can appeal it in court within 3 years from the date of receipt of the notification.

STEP 3. We follow the progress of the queue. Since the queue is all-Russian, the application is assigned two numbers: one for the all-Russian queue, the second for the regional one. Using them, you can monitor the speed of the queue - this data should be publicly available on the administration website.

STEP 4. After the receipt of funds from the state budget to the regional one and the turn of the applicant, the administration notifies him of this. Within six months from this moment, the combat veteran must use the certificate - find suitable housing and conclude a contract of sale.

The certificate is not issued in hand, but is provided to the seller of housing during the transaction. The certificate cannot be redeemed in any way.

STEP 5. After the conclusion of the transaction, it is necessary to register the ownership of the acquired property in Rosreestr. You can make a personal visit to the service, use the online registration service on the official website, or entrust this matter to a representative.

P=C*H, where:

• R- the amount of the subsidy, expressed in rubles;
• WITH- the size of the average market value of 1 square. m. of the total area of ​​housing (established for each region);
• H- social norm of housing area (for WBD is 18 sq. m).

The social norm for the total area of ​​a dwelling is set at 33 sq. meters - for single citizens, 42 sq. meters - for a family of 2 people and 18 square meters. meters for each family member with a family of 3 people or more. Officers with the rank of colonel and above, as well as those with an academic degree, are entitled to 15 additional meters.

WBD is given the right to choose in purchasing housing: it can buy an apartment both in a new building and a "secondary", and even more - to purchase an object at the construction stage.

The certificate is issued for a certain amount. If it is not enough to pay for the housing you like, the war veteran can pay the difference from his own funds. In turn, if the cost of the apartment is less, the balance will be returned to the budget after payment.

Example #1. Savchenko L.L. is a WBD and lives in St. Petersburg with his wife. He went to the housing department to get registered. When submitting an application, he clarified with the employees in what amount he was entitled to a certificate. The average market value of a square meter of housing in St. Petersburg is 62,228 rubles, which means that the size of the certificate will be:

62 228 * 42 \u003d 2 613 573 (p)

Average market value of 1 sq m of total housing area for the 3rd quarter of 2017

Benefits for housing and communal services

At the federal level, communal benefits for war veterans are provided in the form of:

• Compensation in the amount of 50% for the payment of rent (for both owners and tenants under a rental agreement);
• Compensation in the amount of 50% for the payment of the capital repair fee (but not more than 50% of the fee).

Compensation is a return of funds already paid for a communal apartment, and this is its main difference from a subsidy, which is paid before bills need to be paid.

The amount of 50% of the monthly rent is transferred to the account specified by the veteran.

note that benefits for paying bills for electricity, water, gas for WBD have not been introduced by federal law! However, they can be additionally introduced by regional authorities, so their effect does not apply to all regions of the Russian Federation.

tax incentives

There are a number of tax incentives for WBD. Let's consider each of them in detail.

Personal income tax

According to paragraph 1 of paragraph 2 of Art. 218 of the Tax Code, when calculating the tax on the income of a combat veteran, a tax deduction of 500 r is applied for each tax period.

You can take advantage of this benefit in 2 ways:

1. Directly at work, then the tax will be withheld monthly in a smaller amount;
2. At the tax office at the end of the year, then you will be refunded the overpaid money for the whole year.

This tax deduction applies to all types of income:

• Salary;
• Income from the sale of property (apartment, car);
• Income from the rental of property;
• Income from contracts, etc.

Example #2. Zubchenko I.G. is not a combat veteran. Despite the fact that he meets the criteria for this category, he did not properly issue a WBD certificate. His salary is 40,000 rubles. The income tax rate is 13%. Every month he pays a tax in the amount of 40,000 X 13% = 5,200 rubles.

If he receives this certificate, then after contacting the tax office with the necessary documents and submitting a corresponding application to the employer, the accounting department will apply a tax deduction in the amount of 500 r when calculating the tax:

(40,000 - 500) * 13% \u003d 5135 (p).

Savings per month will be 65 rubles, and per year - 780 rubles.

To qualify for this tax deduction, you must:

Where do you want to receive?	Action algorithm	Required documents
By place of work	Contact the tax authorities with an application for a tax deduction and wait for a notification from them. When you receive a notice, write an application to the employer. Give it to him along with the notice and other documents or to the accounting department (if any). Receive monthly salary including tax deduction.	Statement Notification from the tax Copy of WBD certificate Copy of the passport Copy of TIN
At the tax office	At the end of the year, file a 3-NDFL tax return, write an application for a tax refund and provide copies of documents confirming copies of your WBD status.

Certificate from the accounting department at the place of work on the amounts of accrued and withheld taxes for the corresponding year in the form 2-NDFL. Statement Passport copies Copies of TIN Copies of WBD certificate

Combat veterans who have received disability groups 1,2,3 while performing combat missions, enjoy an increased tax deduction in the amount of 3000 rubles.

Please note that social benefits paid to this category of persons are not subject to personal income tax. This position was taken by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in its Resolution of April 13, 2016 N 11-P.

Transport tax

At the federal level, there are no transport tax benefits for war veterans. However, a regional law may introduce them - the benefits are valid within the veteran's region of residence (the place of registration of the vehicle does not matter).

The table will help you understand in which regions and in what amounts transport tax benefits for WBD are provided.

Region	The size	The mode of transport covered by the exemption
Moscow	100%	Ground vehicle (except snowmobiles and snowmobiles) up to 200 hp
Moscow region	50% - WBD; 100% - WWII veterans.	Passenger car (up to 150 hp) or motorcycle (up to 50 hp)

Property tax

tax code completely exempt from paying property tax combat veterans, namely:

1. Who served more than 20 years and were fired:
   • Upon reaching the age limit;
   • For health;
   • In connection with organizational and staff activities.
2. Dismissed from military service or called up for military training, internationalist soldiers who performed duty in countries where hostilities were fought.

The benefit can be used for:

• Apartments, rooms in it or a communal apartment;
• Houses;
• Commercial premises used in professional creative activities;
• Buildings (no more than 50 sq.
• garage.

Only one property is not taxed. If a veteran has several of them, he has the right to choose for himself which of them to use the tax benefit.

Land tax

WBDs are not fully exempted from paying land tax. They can take advantage of the $10,000 tax deduction. It is by this amount that the cadastral value of the site is reduced before the calculation of the tax amount begins.

Example #3. Kupriyanova V.I. owns a plot in Moscow, the cadastral value of which is 47,000 rubles. The land tax rate is 0.3%. The amount of tax that she will have to pay:

(47,000 - 10,000) * 0.3% \u003d 111 (p)

You can use the exemption only if you pay tax for 1 plot within the same region. But at the same time, if there are several sites, and they are located in different regions, you can use the exemption for one site for each region.

Example #4. Kupriyanova V.I. owns one land plot in Moscow, the second - in St. Petersburg. The cost of one of them is 120,500 rubles, the second - 136,000 rubles. Calculate the tax taking into account the deduction:

(120,500 + 136,000 - 10,000) * 0.3% = 739.5 (p)

If the cadastral value of the land is less than 10,000 rubles, the land tax is not levied from the WBD.

Relief on payment of state duty

When applying for the protection of their rights, enshrined in the Federal Law "On Veterans", to a justice of the peace or to a civil court, a combat veteran is exempt from paying state duty.

Exceptions are claims with a declared price of more than 1 million rubles. Then the state duty is paid, but in a reduced amount. The amount is calculated according to the following formula: 13,200 rubles plus 0.5 percent of the amount exceeding 1,000,000 rubles, minus the amount of the state duty payable if the claim value is 1,000,000 rubles.

Other federal benefits

In addition to the benefits listed above, combat veterans are entitled to:

Many are interested in how to get a land plot for a war veteran. Let's say right away that at the moment, in connection with the adoption in 2004 of the so-called law on monetization, many benefits were abolished and, in the new version, the laws "On Veterans" and "On the Status of Military Personnel" no longer contain provisions regarding the free provision of land for individual construction, etc. There are only a few exceptions regarding, for example, Heroes of the Soviet Union, full holders of the Order of Glory, etc. Participants in hostilities are not included in this category, however, if they were in line for land before 2004 city, that is, before the adoption of the law on monetization, then they do not lose the right to such a benefit.

Also, regional authorities are not forbidden to develop their own regulations on the allocation of land plots to combatants. If there are no such provisions in your region, then land can be obtained only in a general manner and only if it is used for its intended purpose, for example, for building a house, cultivating a garden, etc.

Each type of social support is issued in relation to a veteran by various state bodies. State structures establish the procedure for providing social services to veterans in accordance with the requirements of federal law.

How to apply for tax credits

You can apply for tax benefits by submitting an appropriate application to the tax office. Since such benefits are declarative in nature, they begin to apply only after the receipt of an application and title documents from a veteran.

You can apply for benefits both in person and by mail or by contacting a multifunctional center. You can also submit documentation in electronic form through a special service located on the official website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation.

Cash payments to combatants in Chechnya and other territories

Who is eligible for Veterans Social Security benefits?

Monthly cash payment (UDV) is accrued to veterans listed in subpara. 1-4 p. Art. 3 of the Federal Law of 01/12/1995 No. 5-FZ, as well as to family members of dead combat veterans. The transfer of such payments is carried out regardless of the grounds for their establishment. The exception is cases when the payment is transferred in connection with radiation exposure.

The amount of cash transfers for war veterans

How to apply for an EDV

The establishment and payment of monthly cash transfers are carried out by the regional branches of the pension authorities.

Order of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated October 30, 2012 No. 353n contains the basic rules for the provision of services related to the establishment and transfer of monthly cash payments to veterans. This normative act indicates that it is possible to apply for the payment of UDV both on paper and in the form of an electronic document.

Thus, in relation to combat veterans, Russian legislation establishes a fairly wide list of social benefits. In addition to benefits, veterans can receive additional payments transferred monthly.

The state pays pensions not only due to old age, but also in various other cases. Citizens participating in hostilities are also entitled to certain pension payments. The amount of these payments depends on a large number of different factors.

Where to go

The procedure for a participant in hostilities is a fairly simple procedure, but with some nuances.

At the moment, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is engaged in the payment of the type of benefits in question. To apply for this type of payment, you must contact the appropriate branch of the FIU in advance.

A participant in hostilities will need to apply for a pension at the place of permanent registration - at the regional branch of the PFR.

Moreover, if for some reason registration is not available, it will be necessary to apply at the place of permanent residence. For example, if you need to receive funds for a personnel officer who continues to serve under a contract.

It will be possible to submit all the necessary documents to the relevant branch of the FIU in various ways:

• personally or through a representative;
• through the Internet;
• By Russian Post - by registered mail with a description of the attachment.

To receive a pension, certain essential factors must be met. It is worth familiarizing yourself with all of them in advance.

When applying for a pension through a representative, it will be necessary to draw up an appropriate power of attorney. This document must be properly certified.

How to issue

Today, the process of obtaining a pension for war veterans is covered in the legislation. At the same time, the acquisition algorithm itself is completely standard. Only the process of obtaining some special types of pensions differs.

At the same time, the registration of pensions for participants in the Great Patriotic War is no longer covered in the current legislation. The reason for this is the absence of the need for registration - at the moment there are a minimum number of veterans of the Second World War.

In the standard case, to apply for the type of pension in question, you will need to implement the following main steps:

• register with the military registration and enlistment office - this will allow you to receive the following necessary documents:
  • certificate of participation in hostilities;
  • combat veteran's certificate;
• the process of issuing a personal account is in progress - the easiest way to implement such an operation is in Sberbank;
• apply to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place:
  • permanent registration;
  • permanent residence;
• confirmation of relevant awards, medals, as well as other documents is carried out - they must confirm a certain length of service, the very fact of participation in any hostilities;
• after collecting all the documents, it is necessary to transfer them to the FIU in a way convenient for the applicant himself;
• in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, documents are considered within 10 days from the date of submission, and if a positive decision is made, the corresponding pension will be accrued next month.

The procedure for confirming the experience itself can be performed in two ways. According to the current legislative norms, citizens who have medals and have gained experience of 20-25 years (depending on gender) have equal rights with citizens participating in the Second World War and who began working before the war. Moreover, in the second case, the length of service before the onset of adulthood is necessarily taken into account.

To receive the appropriate pension, it will be mandatory to submit the following documents to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation:

• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• photos in 3×4 format;
• award documents - they give the right to a special procedure for considering the fact of awarding a pension (in some cases, the period is reduced to the very minimum);
• documentary confirmation of the fact of having official work experience:
  • certificate from the place of employment;
• confirmation of participation in hostilities or other documents giving the right to receive a pension of the type in question:
  • home front worker's certificate;
  • WWII veteran's certificate;
  • certificate of a resident of besieged Leningrad;
  • certificate of a participant in hostilities;
  • documents confirming the presence of a disability group.

Today, a complete list of all the documents required in this case is reflected in the legislation in force on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Employees of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation may require any additional. In some cases, pensions of the type in question are issued directly by the Ministry of Defense.

Therefore, it is possible to receive this payment not through the FIU, but directly through the military commissariat to which a specific citizen of the Russian Federation is assigned.

The size

Preferential pension for war veterans depends on a large number of different factors. For example, the average pension for WWII participants for 2019 is 21.8-30.3 thousand rubles.

This value was achieved due to the annual indexation. Thus, from February 1, 2015, the indexation rate is 11.4%.

At the moment, not only the military personnel themselves, but also their relatives have the right to receive the type of pension in question. But this also requires the fulfillment of certain important conditions.

The widows of those killed in the Second World War are currently receiving accruals in the amount of 21.8 thousand rubles per month. At the same time, combatants who become disabled due to injury on the battlefield receive 30.3 thousand rubles.

The last time the indexation of this type of pension was carried out on 04/01/15 - by 5.5% of the initial amount. The average increase in the country, in various regions, ranged from 1.3 thousand rubles to 4.4 thousand rubles.

However, in many cases, veterans receive appropriate services at home. For example, in 2019 alone, about 27,000 WWII veterans applied for services of this type.

Today, all citizens who in any way participate in hostilities are divided into various categories.

The amount of this type of pension payment is influenced by a large number of different factors:

• length of service;
• the territory of combat operations;
• the presence of injuries, disability;
• otherwise.

A complete list of facts that in any way affect the amount of a pension of the type in question is reflected in the legislation in force on the territory of the Russian Federation.

A close study of the legislation in force in this regard will help to avoid various kinds of difficulties and other points. Legislation on the special status of veterans was introduced in order to support materially and morally the citizens who repaid their debt to their homeland.

There is a specialized law that establishes the following social benefits for veterans:

• a significant increase in the provision of a pension type in comparison with other citizens of the Russian Federation;
• in some cases, combatants are entitled to increased;
• when indexing pensions and adjusting them, it is the combatants who are the priority persons - the increase in pensions for them is carried out without fail.

To receive some special benefits, combat veterans will need to apply in advance to the relevant institutions without fail.

It is important to remember that the region of residence of a particular veteran has a significant impact on the size of the pension. Moreover, if a move to another subject of the Russian Federation is made, the size of the pension will be changed without fail.

When re-registering at a new place of residence, it will be necessary to re-register a pension at the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the military registration and enlistment office. Re-registers. This important factor should be taken into account.

Is there a surcharge

Today, all military personnel serving under the contract, upon reaching a certain age, are required to receive the right to a pension.

Moreover, the greater the salary and length of service, the greater the pension. The situation is similar with the pension due to participation in the conduct of hostilities. At the same time, in some cases, a surcharge is mandatory for the total payment.

Its size depends on the normative acts regulating a particular case. For each region, they differ significantly.

At the moment, a combat veteran should carefully read the following sections of legal documents in order to receive an allowance:

• Federal Law of December 03, 2007 “On Amendments to the Law “On Pension Provision””;
• and Part 1 of Federal Law No. 319-FZ.

According to the NAP data, another 32% is added as an additional 32% to the basic pension of veterans.

At the same time, the right to this kind of allowance arises from 01.01.08 - almost immediately after the start of the above law. This increase is required in accordance with federal law.

But in some regions there are special multiplying factors. Therefore, the size may differ upwards from the figure of 32%. At the same time, the amount of the allowance accrued in a particular region cannot be less than that established by federal law.

To apply for such an allowance, it will be necessary to collect a certain list of documents. Some former military personnel, due to ignorance or for other reasons, did not submit the relevant documents for receiving benefits on time.

In such a case, the right to such payments shall not be forfeited. Moreover, it will be possible to receive them for the entire period of time as a whole - from the moment the relevant law comes into force.

To receive a payment for the past time, you will need to contact the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of permanent registration with an appropriate application and a link to the legislative norm.

All necessary funds will be transferred at the time of accrual of the regular veteran's pension. If for some reason the PFR refused to pay this kind of accrual to the applied veteran, it will be necessary to go to court.

How to issue it

The process of issuing the supplement is practically the same as the procedure for issuing the pension itself. To receive such a benefit, you will also need to apply directly to the FIU at the place of permanent residence. This moment is reflected in the legislation.

In this case, it is mandatory to collect the following documents:

• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• work book or other document confirming the length of service;
• a military ID with the corresponding marks on the passage of military service;
• other documents confirming the fact of participation in hostilities.

Documents can also be submitted in any way convenient for the veteran himself - independently, by mail or via the Internet, by a representative.

A special application will need to be attached to the list of required documents. It will need to refer to the relevant legislation.

There is no unified format for such a statement; it is drawn up in free form. But at the same time, it is necessary to include in it the details of the applicant himself, put down the date and signature with a transcript.

Pension for combatants in Afghanistan

Today, according to the current legislation, citizens participating in the military operation in Afghanistan are entitled to a fairly large number of various benefits, as well as a pension.

The most significant cash payments today include:

• UDV - monthly cash payment, the amount of which is 2.2 thousand rubles;
• a 50% discount on repairs, as well as the maintenance of a single dwelling;
• 32% increase in pension.

The pension increase is issued in accordance with Federal Law No. 4468-1 dated February 12, 1993. The amount of the additional payment at the moment is only 1.1 thousand rubles.

At the same time, the retirement of war veterans is carried out upon reaching the length of service or a certain age. But, at the same time, the corresponding payments as a participant of the b/d. rely immediately after their completion.

Veterans b/d in Chechnya

According to the current legislation (Federal Law No. 5-FZ of January 12, 1995), participants in hostilities on the territory of the Chechen Republic are entitled to receive a pension. Its size in 1995 was 1.6 thousand rubles. For more than 20 years, indexation of this kind of payments has been carried out. The pension is more than 10 thousand rubles.

Moreover, at the moment the amount continues to be indexed annually. The amount of pensions for veterans of Chechnya is influenced by a large number of different factors. Including this is a regional coefficient - the place of residence of the veteran himself.

Are the parents of the deceased supposed to

According to the normative legal document already indicated above, the right to receive appropriate pension payments also arises for the parents and some other relatives of the deceased in the Republic of Chechnya.

Other relatives may be a spouse, as well as relatives, adopted children (until they reach working age).

If, due to participation in hostilities, a soldier was assigned a disability group, then he is entitled to a pension in an increased amount. It depends directly on the group of disability.

Also, the pension is subject to an additional payment in accordance with the amendment to the legislation introduced in 2019. The amount of such an additional payment is 2.4 thousand rubles. This moment is regulated by the law "On Veterans".

The fighting on the territory of Afghanistan was carried out by the Soviet Union in the period 1979-1989.

The USSR has long since ceased to exist, but the Government of the Russian Federation has become the successor to the obligations of the Soviet state in terms of social support for participants in the Afghan military operation.

Veteran internationalists of that time in modern conditions apply for a wide range of state assistance.

Legislative regulation of the issue

The list of applicants for social support, the range of benefits and payments, the forms of veterans' public associations, the procedure for going to court in disputable situations are determined by the Federal Law No. 5 "On Veterans" dated January 12, 1995.

Also, title information for citizens who have passed the battle roads of Afghanistan contains:

• Tax Code of the Russian Federation;
• Federal Law 178 "On State Social Assistance";
• Federal Law 181 "On the social protection of persons with disabilities in the Russian Federation";
• Federal Law 173 "On labor pensions in the Russian Federation".

Afghan veterans are beneficiaries, first of all. But in terms of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, state support is supplemented by their own social measures.

Who is in this category

The international duty in Afghanistan was carried out not only by the military, but also by representatives of civilian specialties. And they risked no less than people "in uniform". The general list of all preferential categories for Afghanistan is established in Article 3 of the Federal Law No. 5.

Benefits are provided:

The law does not single out conscripts as a separate line. However, within the meaning of articles 1 and 3 of the Federal Law number 5, they are considered veterans of military operations (on the territory of other states) and apply for the corresponding ones.

An important clarification. The Law "On Social Protection" Afghans who were injured, shell-shocked, and became disabled as a result, equated to veterans of the Great Patriotic War (Article 14 of the Federal Law No. 5). They have extended benefits. The same Afghan veterans who took part in the hostilities, but did not receive a disability, enjoy the social support approved in paragraph 1 of Art. 16 of the Federal Law "On Veterans".

Types of assistance from the state

State support for veterans-internationalists subdivided on social measures in the so-called in-kind form and cash payments. Let's start with the financial side.

Pension provision of personnel

Regulates pension appointments for this circle of persons Federal Law No. 4468-I of February 1993.

If a participant in the conflict was in combat army formations as a regular soldier and then continued his military career, then he claims for the following forms of support:

• - the main additional payment to a veteran on a well-deserved rest: the amount of the allowance directly depends on the length of service, military rank, salary for the position held. At the same time, 1 month of Afghan service is counted as 3 months of service (Federal Law No. 941 of 09/22/93). But this applies only to contract soldiers and long-term military service;
• a monthly allowance for participation in hostilities (CFE) - is due to a participant in a military conflict, as well as to family members of a military man who died in the confrontation with the Mujahideen. This type of state aid is assigned to combat veterans. Taking into account the indexation on February 1, 2019, the amount of the CU is RUB 2972.82
• Disability pension supplements:
  • Group 1 - a threefold increase;
  • 2 groups - in double size;
  • 3 groups - increase by a factor of 1.5.
• a set of social services () - the provision of prescription drugs from the approved list, preferential sanatorium and resort treatment, free travel on suburban public transport. The veteran has the opportunity to replace in-kind benefits with cash compensation up to 1,211.43 rubles.

In 2019, the “optimization” of the assignment of benefits did not bypass Afghan veterans either. Now an applicant for state support with a disability group must decide in favor of one of the additional payments: disability or a pension for participation in a military conflict (EDV).

disability allowance varies between 1900-4500 rubles. The applicant can apply for the most favorable allowance.

Pensions for conscripts

The bulk of Afghan veterans are servicemen. These are regular military personnel of the Limited Contingent of Soviet Troops, and, as noted above, conscripts.

If a conscript who has gone through the Afghan “crucible” has chosen the military path as a professional activity, then pensions, including preferential allowances, are determined by Federal Law No. 4468-1.

In cases where, after demobilization, a person worked in a "citizen", he is entitled to next pension:

• labor (insurance) after reaching the required age;
• EDV for participation in hostilities or disability pension if there is a group;
• also, a monthly supplement of 32% of .

Pension provision of such persons is handled by the FIU. Concerning service life credit in Afghanistan on a preferential basis, a unified legal position has not been developed here. Currently, the set of pension legislation of the Russian Federation does not contain a direct rule that implies such a calculation at the rate of 1:3. That is, there are no grounds for those who went through the Afghan war on conscription.

Additional state support

Saved in 2019 tax preferences in hot spots:

Employees veterans have the right to choose the optimal time for their vacation. In addition, the employer is obliged to provide (without pay) up to 35 days, regardless of the applicant's personal reasons.

Assistance in resolution of housing issues. If an internationalist veteran without decent housing becomes in need of better housing before early 2005, the municipality is obligated to provide housing first. This option is only available to veterans with disabilities. Also, the beneficiary claims to equip the apartment with a landline telephone free of charge.

For the use of housing the veteran pays only half the cost. Members of the veteran's family living together are also taken into account. established at the regional level. Here, local authorities are independent and, given the tendency to limit the number of beneficiaries, in many subjects such exemptions are tied to the level of income of a particular citizen.

Medical guarantees:

• participants in the Afghan conflict are provided with prosthetic services free of charge, subject to the use of inexpensive materials;
• subsidized prescriptions for medicines are issued;
• provision of prosthetic and orthopedic products for veterans with disabilities;
• free service in medical institutions of the state structure, to which the veteran is assigned;
• provision of preferential vouchers for health resorts.

Right to preferential use urban public transport placed under the jurisdiction of the municipalities.

How to get the status of a veteran of the Afghan conflict

You should start with the design of the appropriate agency certificates who sent a citizen to perform combat missions:

• if the applicant got into a hot spot as a police officer - through the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
• conscripts apply to the military registration and enlistment offices at the place of conscription or to the nearest division of the military department;
• persons who have continued military service are somewhat simpler: they can issue a certificate at the home office.

The main part of compensation is issued at the FIU at the place of registration. Regional benefits are assigned by municipal subdivisions of SZN.

See the following video about state support for the soldiers of the war in Afghanistan:

Participants in hostilities defending the interests of the country both on its territory and abroad are entitled to special support from state authorities. But unknowingly, these people often do not enjoy even half of their privileges. Benefits for combat veterans affect a variety of areas of human existence, and today we will consider how and in what composition they can be used to save a personal budget and improve the quality of life.

Grounds for granting the status

All basic benefits and privileges for veterans of various categories are spelled out in. Article 3 of this regulatory document establishes a list of persons who are granted the status of a combat veteran (hereinafter - VBD). It includes various categories of citizens who participated in armed clashes both on the territory of Russia and abroad. Among them:

• active and retired military personnel;
• persons liable for military service;
• participants in military training;
• police officers and state security agencies;
• civil servants of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Defense of the USSR;
• employees of penitentiary institutions.

The following categories are separated:

• military personnel, employees of the internal affairs department and state security agencies who took part in the demining of the territories of the USSR in the post-war years;
• the composition of the automobile battalions for the delivery of goods to Afghanistan during the military conflict;
• flight personnel of the USSR, who participated in the hostilities in Afghanistan;
• citizens serving the military units of Russia and the USSR in the territories of foreign states, who received injuries and contusions in the performance of their duties or were awarded medals and orders;
• civilians who worked on the territory of Afghanistan from 12/01/1979 to 12/01/1989;
• persons sent to Syria to perform official tasks starting from 09/30/2015

The status of the WBD is assigned for participation in all armed conflicts in Russia, starting with the Civil War of 1918.

Among the foundations of recent years:

• performance of official assignments on the territory of the Syrian Republic in 2015;
• protection of Russian citizens in South Ossetia and Abkhazia in 2008;
• participation in counter-terrorist operations in the North Caucasus region (Dagestan, Chechnya);
• participation in the armed conflict in Chechnya in 1994-1996.

A complete list can be found in the only Appendix to the Veterans Act.

Many questions are related to obtaining WBD status for participation in military conflicts in Ukraine. However, the legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for such a possibility, since the Russian Federation is not an official participant in these hostilities.

What benefits are provided by WBD?

The benefits provided by the state to combatants can be divided into several categories:

• retirement benefits;
• assistance in buying a home;
• reimbursement of expenses for housing and communal services;
• tax preferences;
• monthly payments and a set of social services;
• labor privileges;
• assistance to the relatives of fallen veterans.

Let's dwell on each point in more detail.

Retirement benefits

Veterans can be divided into those who have the status of a serviceman, and those who have been in "hot spots" while serving in the army on conscription. The first is a military pension, the conditions for accessing which include:

• reaching the age of 45;
• the presence of 20 years of service or 25 years of general work experience, of which 12.5 years the citizen had the status of a military man.

Such citizens are assigned a pension in the amount of half of the cash allowance paid to them during the period of duty. If the service life exceeds 20 years, then for each year in excess of the established minimum, a surcharge of 3% is assigned. With mixed seniority, only 1% is charged for each additional year. The maximum pension is limited to 85% of the monetary allowance.

Veterans who are not military personnel are assigned a pension in the general manner. In 2018, the following conditions must be met for this:

• age 60 and 55 for men and women, respectively;
• experience from 9 years;
• more than 13.8 pension points.

In addition to the main types of pensions, according to WBD, a surcharge of 32% of the fixed insurance payment is provided, which in 2018 amounted to 4982.90 rubles. Thus, the size of the veteran allowance in 2018 is 1594.53 rubles. For citizens living in remote areas with a harsh climate, all payments are indexed taking into account regional coefficients.

Assistance in buying a home

State assistance in improving living conditions is due to a veteran in accordance with paragraph 1.3 of Art. 16 of Law No. 5-FZ. It is provided in the form of a housing subsidy, which implies gratuitous co-financing by the state of the purchase of residential property. Its value is determined based on the number of members of the veteran's family and the cost per square meter of housing in the region.

The state will help with the purchase of housing only those who really need it. To do this, one of the following conditions must be met:

Until 2005, combat veterans were placed on a privileged list, but those who later registered are entitled to receive subsidies only on a general basis.

Compensation for utility services

Benefits for paying utility bills are provided to veterans on the basis of clause 1.9 of Art. 16 of Law No. 5-FZ. It involves a refund of 50% of the payment for the following utility services:

Of the tax privileges, the veteran is entitled to benefits for the following types of mandatory payments:

• personal income tax;
• physical property tax persons;
• transport tax;
• land tax;
• state duty when applying to the court.

The income tax relief is provided in the form of a tax deduction. This is the amount by which a veteran's income is formally reduced before income tax, leaving him with more cash after tax.

The amount of the deduction may be:

• 3,000 rubles for veterans who received a disability while participating in hostilities;
• 500 rubles for all other WBDs.

The right to a deduction is issued at the place of work in the personnel department, where you need to send an application and a copy of the veteran certificate. But first you need to confirm your right at the tax office, from where the employer will receive a notification. The deduction applies to all types of income - wages, income from work contracts and from the sale of property.

Exemption from property tax is guaranteed. A veteran can use the benefit for one object of each type of property (apartment, private house, garage, cottage, etc.).

Transport tax incentives are established at the initiative of regional authorities and may vary depending on the region.

Examples of transport tax exemptions

1. In Moscow, WBDs who own a vehicle with a capacity of up to 200 hp receive a tax exemption. with., with the exception of snowmobiles.
2. In the Leningrad, Rostov, Novosibirsk and Saratov regions, cars owned by veterans with a capacity of up to 150 hp are not subject to taxation. With.
3. In the Stavropol Territory, WBDs do not pay tax on any type of transport.

When calculating the land tax, veterans are supposed to reduce the tax base by the cadastral value of 600 m 2 of this site (paragraph 5). If the total area of ​​the plot does not exceed this value, WBD is exempt from land tax.

Participants in hostilities may not pay the state duty by virtue of Art. 333.36 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. This right is preserved when applying to the courts of all levels.

Monthly payments

According to Art. 23.1 of Law No. 5-FZ, veterans are entitled to monthly cash payments (UDV). They are indexed annually, and as of February 1, 2018, the amount of the unified income will be 2,869.72 rubles. But such an amount is due only to the veteran who refused to provide the social package of services established by Law No. 178-FZ of July 17, 1999.

What is due to a veteran within the framework of this social set?

1. Free medicines (833.79 rubles).
2. Vouchers to the sanatorium (128.99 rubles).
3. Travel by suburban railway and intercity transport to the places of treatment and back (119.75 rubles).

For the refusal of the entire social set, an additional 1082.53 rubles are due. If the veteran wishes to keep these services for himself, the amount of his UDV will be only 1,787.19 rubles.

Advice

You have the right to reserve only the social services you are interested in, and monetize the rest. For example, if there are large expenses for medicines, you can leave only the service of providing them free of charge from the state, but due to the lack of the possibility of making trips, you can refuse vouchers to sanatoriums and preferential travel.

Registration of a social package of services, as well as refusal of it in favor of additional payments, is carried out at the local branch of the PFR. An application for the monetization of benefits is submitted before October 1, so payments can only be made in the current year for 2019. The application must be accompanied by a copy of the veteran's certificate confirming the right to the benefit.

If a citizen is entitled to EDV on several grounds at once, for example, due to disability, then he has the right to choose only one type of payment.

Labor privileges

Medical Benefits

Veterans retain the right to receive free treatment in departmental institutions to which they were assigned during the period of service. Also, if necessary, they are entitled to free production of prostheses, with the exception of dental ones.

We have already mentioned above the possibility of receiving free medicines and vouchers to sanatoriums from the state. The certificate received from the FIU confirming these rights must be provided to the doctor at the clinic - he will issue a prescription for free receipt of medicines according to existing diseases.

With a preferential prescription, you can go only to those pharmacies that have signed a contract with the state. Their list can be found in the clinic. The same procedure applies to preferential sanatorium treatment: a ticket can only be obtained in those institutions that interact with government agencies. Moreover, WBD can have free rest only in departmental sanatoriums.

A referral for non-sanatorium treatment will be issued only if there are medical grounds. With him it is necessary to go to the social authorities. protection. Additionally, the following documents are provided:

Medal for the military operation in Syria

In November 2015, the Russian Ministry of Defense established a medal for participation in the military operation in Syria. It was received not only by military personnel, but also by civilians who visited the territory of the republic during the conflict. Among them are athletes, politicians, musicians. Citizens who received the award had questions about the social benefits associated with the medal. However, the legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for any privileges in the presence of this award. Only those members of the Syrian company who have officially received WBD status can count on benefits.

2018 did not make any major changes to the composition of benefits for veterans. The only exception is a small indexation of the EDV. But, by declaring his rights to all types of social assistance already existing at the moment, a combatant will be able to save a lot of money for his personal budget.
