Benefits for non-working pensioners per year. Travel incentives and options for their implementation. Sanatorium treatment for pensioners

07.04.2019

At the federal level, there are not many benefits that pensioners can use. But it is useful to know about them because practically all "bonuses" from the state can be obtained only if you apply for them. There is a "declarative principle" - if you don't ask, you won't get it. We are talking about some tax breaks, reimbursement of travel expenses for pensioners-northerners, as well as additional holidays for pensioners who continue to work. There are also regional-level benefits, but we'll talk about them next time. In the meantime - in more detail about the guarantees provided by federal law.

1. "Zero" property tax

A great help to pensioners in our country is the exemption from paying property tax.

Who should

This benefit is provided for both non-working pensioners and those who continue to work.

"A pensioner receiving a pension assigned in accordance with the procedure established pension legislation RF, is exempt from paying property tax if it owns it ", - says the Tax Code (Art. 401, Clause 10, Clause 1, Clause 4, Art. 407 of the Tax Code of the RF).

You can apply for a property tax deduction at tax office at the place of residence.

Terms of provision

The tax is zeroed on the following types real estate:

apartment or room;
House;
garage or parking space in a shared garage;
premises used as creative workshops, ateliers, studios, non-state museums, galleries, libraries;
household buildings, the area of which does not exceed 50 sq. m and which are located on land plots provided for personal subsidiary farming, summer cottages, individual housing construction.

The privilege is granted in relation to one object of taxation of each type.

If, for example, a pensioner owns an apartment, a house and a garage, he is fully exempt from paying tax on all this property. And if a pensioner has two apartments and a house, then he is entitled to a tax relief for the house, as well as for only one of the apartments. The tax for the second apartment will have to be paid.

Where to go and how to get

An application for a tax benefit and a document giving the right to receive it must be personally submitted to the tax office at the location of the property (clause 6 of article 407 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). A document confirming the right to a benefit - pensioner's ID.

Note!

If, as of 12/31/2014, you were granted a property tax benefit in accordance with the Law of 12/09/1991 No. 2003-1, then you have the right not to re-submit an application and documents confirming the right to the benefit to the tax authority (part 4 of Art. . 3 of the Law of 04.10.2014 No. 284-FZ).

If a pensioner owns several objects of taxation of the same type (for example, three apartments), he must submit an application to the tax office before November 1 of the calendar year in which he was entitled to the benefit and indicate which apartment should not be taxed. That is, the owner himself chooses the property to use his right to the benefit. It is clear that it is beneficial for him to "exempt" the most expensive apartment from tax, but there may be some other considerations.

Almost all benefits are of a "declarative" nature, which means that you need to apply for them and write an application

True, if the owner does not submit such a statement to the tax authorities, they themselves are “automatically” obliged to “zero” the tax on the object for which they had to pay the most (clause 7 of article 407 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

2. If there is real estate

This benefit is, unfortunately, only relevant for working pensioners who receive a salary and, therefore, pay income tax (with pension payments this tax is not charged in our country). But it can also be used by non-working pensioners who have recently retired and had earnings (still worked) in the previous years before acquiring real estate.

The benefit is that the pensioner has the right to transfer the balance of property deductions for personal income tax to previous tax periods.

Who should

For example, a retiree bought or built a house or other real estate. After registration of ownership, he can return part of the money spent through the property tax deduction. To put it simply, you will be partially refunded the amount income tax paid until the moment you become the owner of the property.

Terms of provision

Property deduction can be obtained if:

built or purchased a residential building, apartment, room;
share (shares) in any of these types of real estate;
a land plot was purchased for individual housing construction;
a land plot was purchased on which the purchased residential building is located (or a share in it).

In addition, property deductions apply not only to the costs associated with the purchase or construction of real estate, but also to the payment of interest on the relevant targeted loans (borrowings).

If the owner owns a house, an apartment, and a garage, he is exempt from property tax on all real estate objects.

It is allowed to receive a deduction for three tax periods (in other words, three years) preceding the period in which the carry-over balance of property deductions was formed (clause 10 of article 220 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

How much money will be returned

The amount of the property deduction depends on the amount of expenses for the purchase (construction) of housing and the amount of interest paid on a loan taken for the purchase or construction. Wherein maximum amount the deduction may not exceed 2 million rubles, respectively. and 3 million rubles. (Clause 1 Clause 3, Clause 4 Article 220 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

An important detail: the limit of 3 million rubles. property tax deduction for the cost of paying interest on a loan taken for the purchase (construction) of housing is applied to loans received from 01.01.2014 (clause 4 of article 2 of the Law of 23.07.2013 No. 212-FZ).

3. Exemption from income tax

Some income of a pensioner is not charged with personal income tax.

Not subject to taxation:

the amount of the state pension pension provision, insurance pensions, fixed payment to the insurance pension (taking into account its increase) and funded pension;
social supplements to pensions paid in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (clause 2 of article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
payment amounts due own funds organization of the cost of sanatorium vouchers, as well as the cost of treatment and medical care former employees who have retired due to disability or old age (clauses 9, 10, article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
gifts, amounts material assistance provided by employers to their former retired employees;
the amount of payment (reimbursement) of the cost of drugs by employers to their former employees (retirees).

For each of these grounds, the amount of non-taxable income is not more than 4000 rubles. for a calendar year (clause 28 of article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

4. Additional vacation

This is an unpaid leave for working pensioners.

Who should

participants of the Great Patriotic War - up to 35 calendar days in the year;
working old-age pensioners (by age) - up to 14 calendar days a year;
working pensioners with disabilities - up to 60 calendar days a year.

5. If you need to go to rest

Compensation for travel expenses to the place of rest and back

Who should

According to federal law on guarantees for northerners, compensation is provided to non-working pensioners who receive insurance pension due to old age or disability and live in the Far North or equivalent territories (Art. 34 of the Law of 19.02.1993 No. 4520-1).

6. State social assistance

State social assistance is provided to pensioners whose average income does not exceed living wage established in the region where they live. General rule: monthly social supplement to pension up to the level of the regional subsistence minimum, if the pensioner does not work. In addition, the law specifies certain categories of citizens who are eligible for such assistance (Article 7 of the Law of 17.07.1999 No. 178-FZ).

Specifically

Example of calculating property deduction

Let's say a pensioner, including a worker, in 2016 acquired and registered in the ownership of a house worth 2 million rubles. Overall size the property deduction due to him will amount to this amount - 2 million rubles.

This means that the tax service can return to him the amount of income tax paid on his income in the amount of 2 million rubles. Since the income tax rate is 13%, the refundable amount will be 260 thousand rubles. (2,000,000 rubles x 0.13).

Let's say the income (salary) of a property owner will be 300 thousand rubles in 2013, 320 thousand rubles in 2014, 410 thousand rubles in 2015, and 508 thousand rubles in 2016. Consequently, a pensioner in 2017 will be able to receive a deduction for 2016, and the balance will be carried over to 2013, 2014 and 2015 in the full amount of available income.

He is entitled to return the amount of 200 thousand rubles. or, respectively, for the indicated years: 39 thousand rubles. (300,000 rubles x 0.13), 41.6 thousand rubles. (320,000 rubles x 0.13), 53.3 thousand rubles. (410,000 rubles x 0.13), 66 thousand rubles. (508,000 rubles x 0.13).

The remainder of the deduction in the amount of 462 thousand rubles. (2,000,000 rubles - 508,000 rubles - 410,000 rubles - 320,000 rubles - 300,000 rubles), the pensioner will be able to use it in the future if he has income taxed with personal income tax at a rate of 13% (clause 3 of Art. 210, clause 9 of article 220 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

In connection with the law passed in 2014, amending the Tax Code, many pensioners are concerned about whether they need to pay property tax under the new rules. After all, before that, they were completely exempted from paying it. And it didn’t matter how many objects they owned. What is the situation now?

It is worth reassuring pensioners right away, because despite the adopted changes, tax incentives, which were provided to them before, have survived to this day. Therefore, property tax for retirees is still not payable. This is established by nn. 10 clause 1 of Art. 407 of the Tax Code. The most important innovation concerns the fact that now this tax is calculated on the cadastral value of the object, which is several times higher than the inventory value.

Objects exempt from taxation

In accordance with the new provisions, the tax relief is granted in relation to:

apartments and rooms;

residential buildings;

premises and structures used in professional creative activities;

household buildings and structures with an area not exceeding 50 sq.m. located on summer cottages, garden and other land plots;

garages and parking spaces.

Other types of real estate are subject to taxation in general order... The exemption also does not apply to expensive real estate, the cadastral value of which exceeds 300 million rubles.

In addition, real estate is exempt from taxation subject to two conditions:

it must be owned by the taxpayer;

and should not be used in business.

It is important to know that under the new rules, tax incentives are provided for only one object of each type of property at the choice of a pensioner. This does not take into account how many grounds he has for the application of benefits.

Thus, if you own several apartments or summer cottages, the privilege can be applied to only one apartment and one summer cottage.

The right to choose a specific property is given to the pensioner himself. For all other objects, pensioners pay property tax on a general basis. But this is not yet a reason for frustration, since in addition to tax benefits, the new Tax Code provides for tax deductions. They apply to certain categories of objects, regardless of the application of tax incentives. For example, the tax on an apartment for pensioners, as well as for others, is reduced by the cadastral value of 20 sq.m., for rooms - 10 sq.m., for residential buildings - 50 sq.m. Thus, retirees receive a double benefit: both the benefit and the deduction.

Procedure for granting benefits

In order to receive a real estate tax relief for retirees, you must submit an application for a relief to the tax office. The application must be accompanied by documents confirming such a pensioner's right, the main of which is a pension certificate.

In order for the tax credit to be applied to specific properties, the tax authority must be notified of the properties selected. Moreover, this must be done before November 1 of the year, which is the tax period, that is, if the tax is paid for 2016, then a notification must be submitted before November 1, 2016.

After this date, it will no longer be possible to change the property in respect of which the property tax for retirees should not be paid. If the pensioner does not provide any notification at all, the tax authority will make the choice of objects for him. However, do not worry, since the property in respect of which the maximum amount of tax is calculated will be exempted from tax. That is, in any case, the pensioner will not lose anything.

Also, pensioners can have land tax benefits, provided that they are established in the territory of a particular municipality. To find out about all your rights, you must contact the local administration or the tax authority where the land is located.

Benefits for retirees do not have a single legal regulation and, accordingly, it is impossible to find any unified collection of normative acts on this topic. All types of benefits, taxes and deductions are scattered and are constituent parts Laws of the Russian Federation, regional laws, decrees of the governments of the Russian Federation and regions, and bylaws of local authorities. This is probably why the topic of benefits is overgrown with many rumors, some of which have no real basis.

Benefits for pensioners are regulated by an extensive list of regulations. Almost all of them are all-Russian and vary in the regions within the limits determined by the local budget. This means that the same statutory benefits can vary in financial terms. For example, everywhere in the Russian Federation there are subsidies for pensioners to pay for housing and communal services. But in percentage a pensioner in Moscow will receive a larger subsidy than a pensioner in the Vologda Oblast. This difference is due only to the volume of the regional budget.

Tax incentives for pensioners are based on internal orders of the tax service, which are issued on the basis of legislative acts.

Benefits for low-income retirees in 2018

It is possible to classify a pensioner as a poor citizen only on the basis of the conformity of his pension to the subsistence minimum (PM). If the pension paid in aggregate with all family income is less than the regionally established income of each family member, then the pensioner will be classified as poor and all types of social benefits for this category of citizens will apply to him.

In 2018, the federal PM was equated to minimum size wages (minimum wage) - 11163 rubles. The regional PM cannot be less than the federal one. For example, in Moscow and the region, the PM for pensioners in 2018 is set at 11,420 rubles.

If the individual income of a pensioner as a family member is less than the subsistence minimum, he is classified as a poor.

He can receive the assistance due to him by applying to the social authorities.

Benefits for Moscow labor veterans in 2018

By order of the Moscow Finance Department No. 337 of December 28, 2017, the following financial expenditures for 2018 are programmed in the Moscow budget for benefits intended for labor veterans:

In addition, retirees from among labor veterans will be able to qualify for:

exemption from tax on real estate;
preferential tax deduction in case of real estate purchase.

Benefits for retirees when using public transport

The budget of Moscow covers the financial expenses for the travel of pensioners by rail, namely by suburban trains. The travel card for pensioners will be a pension certificate. In addition to electric trains, pensioners from among labor veterans enjoy seasonal privileges on the use of railway transport for long journeys... The cost of the trip is covered by the budget at 50%.

In most regions of the Russian Federation, pensioners have the right to preferential use of urban public transport, with the exception of route taxis and a taxi. Regional budgets fully cover the costs of transport companies (buses, trolleybuses, trams) for free transportation of pensioners within the village.

Overhaul benefits

Costs for overhaul residential buildings fell on the shoulders of Russians since 2015, when the corresponding law was adopted. The same law provided for benefits for pensioners to pay the above contributions. In pursuance of the law, relevant regulations were adopted in all regions.

So, in Moscow and the region, in accordance with the Decree of the Moscow Government No. 161-PP dated April 05, 2016 "On measures social support on payment of a contribution for overhaul ”, the standards for payment of contributions were established depending on the status of a pensioner.

Unconditionally, pensioners over 80 years old were exempted from paying contributions for overhaul, provided that they had the right of ownership of the dwelling. For other types of pensioners, a preferential net was established, according to which discounts for major repairs vary from 100% to 50%. Graduation is based on allowances and payments received by a pensioner.

Social card of a pensioner of Moscow and the Moscow region

In accordance with the Decision of the Moscow Government, the so-called pensioner's social cards were established for Muscovites and residents of the Moscow region.

Here you can read the text of the document.

According to the attachments to the social card, its holders exercise their right to medical, transportation, and purchase benefits. In fact, a social card is a single document for receiving benefits within Moscow and the Moscow region. Receiving social cards produced in the services "My Documents".

Subsidies for housing and communal services

V government programs assistance to pensioners includes subsidies for housing and communal services. The amount of subsidies varies from region to region, but the principle of their purpose is the same throughout Russian Federation... The calculation is based on the per capita income for each family member, divided by the number of meters of living space. If more than the percentage of profit established by the region is spent on paying for housing and communal services, then the citizen has every reason to calculate compensation. In most regions, the expenditure bar has been set up to 18 percent. There are also those subjects of the federation in which the percentage can be more or less. For example, in Vologda and the region the bar reaches 20%, in St. Petersburg - 14, in Moscow - 10%.

Of course, the subsidy is charged only for the area of the pensioner's housing, which corresponds to the norm of the living area adopted in the region. Since the legislation does not define the w / p norm as such, the sanitary norm of living space per person established by the Housing Code of the Russian Federation is taken as a basis.

All footage in excess of these standards is not subject to subsidies.

Important! Within the meaning of Art. 159 LCD subsidies are assigned based on the size of the living space! Do not let the authorities in charge of calculating compensations for housing and communal services mislead you by substituting a common floor area. If a pensioner lives alone in an apartment with 40 meters of living space and 50 total, then when calculating the total area, he will have a surplus of 17 square meters. With the correct calculation based on the living space, the surplus will already be only 7 meters, for which he will pay housing and communal services in total.

Subsidies can be obtained based on the decision of the competent authorities. To do this, you should contact either personally to the social protection authorities, or write a statement through the online portal "Gosuslugi". Moscow provides its residents additional option contacting centers for housing subsidies.

In addition to the application, you will need to attach other documents necessary for calculating subsidies:

Statement.
Copies of passports of each of the family members (pages with photos and pages with registration).
Help on the composition of the family.
Copies of all housing documents (you need to prove that you own the property).
Help from the BTI.
Kinship certificates (confirmation of kinship of each family member is required).
Certificate of absence of debt or paid receipts for the last 6 months.
Income certificates for each family member (for non-working people: a copy of the work book, an extract from the savings account and a certificate from the Employment Center).

As in all other cases of the appointment of preferences, a single legislative act there are no benefits for pensioners when paying transport taxes. The amount of transport tax and the corresponding benefits are set for regional levels and therefore they differ throughout the territory of the Russian Federation. In this case, the benefits are differentiated depending on the capacity or the price of the vehicle. Approximate spread preferential terms can be seen in the list below:

Important! When the cost of the vehicle is over 3,000,000 rubles or when it is equipped with an engine with a capacity of over 300 Horse power, the legislation classifies the vehicle as a luxury item. Accordingly, there can be no privileges for luxury goods.

The rates of the multiplying coefficient are common for all regions of the Russian Federation.

Benefits for those who continue to work

The only benefit for working pensioners was and remains the provision of additional unpaid leave with a duration slightly longer than for non-pensioners. That's why this benefit It can hardly be called full-fledged, especially since the additional vacation, if the pensioner wishes to do so, must be agreed with the management of the enterprise and is not at all provided unconditionally.

Additional leave is in essence a release from work due to special circumstances that have developed in personal life working pensioner. Such special circumstances can include significant events in the family, issues related to treatment, and so on, that is, the so-called good reasons that can be accepted by management as such.

The state can provide assistance in different areas life for certain categories of citizens, but pensioners in 2016 are entitled to a number of basic benefits.

Utilities. Today, the cost of housing and communal services is incredibly high, so pensioners are forced to pay almost half of their pension for them. In this case, the state makes concessions and can reimburse the pensioner for some utility bills. This subsidy is valid for both residential apartments and private houses. For example, for retirees who have their own home, the state can cover the cost of raw materials for stove heating.
Taxes on transport, land and real estate for individuals. To take advantage of these benefits, a retiree needs to speak with the tax authorities.
Transport. The use of public transport can be free for persons of retirement age if they apply for support from the appropriate authority. For residents far north there are benefits for one free pass a year to the place of rest and back.

Output

There are many other areas where the state has the right to provide its support to needy pensioners. For example, in certain regions you can get benefits for dental treatment in dentistry. Pensioners living alone are entitled to social assistance in the form of house cleaning or grocery shopping. Everyone of retirement age can find out in the social services of their city, which are required benefits for pensioners in the coming year.

Regional authorities revised benefits for pensioners in Moscow in 2016. The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for social protection of the vulnerable category of the population, but some of it falls on the shoulders of the regions. The total number of residents in our country is just over 146 million, and the number of pensioners is 42.7 million - it is clear that this is a fairly high burden on the country's economy. Therefore, the pension in Russia is low, hence the need for targeted assistance.

In Moscow, as well as throughout Russia, there is a system of benefits for labor veterans, pensioners, disabled people, low-income strata of the population and other categories. What exactly is being offered as assistance? First, there are subsidies that reimburse utility bills. Second, home ownership tax breaks natural person and on his land plot. Thirdly - transport tax, the pensioner is exempt from paying it if the car does not exceed the installed capacity. To get these benefits, you should contact the specialists of the tax office, which is located in your place of residence. In accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a working pensioner is allowed to take unpaid additional leave for thirty days, if there is a disability - for sixty days. An ordinary pensioner is entitled to take additional leave of fourteen days.

Housing and communal services

Consider what benefits pensioners in housing and communal services in Moscow will be provided with in 2016. Article 159 of the RF LC provides for the provision of subsidies to pensioners and the poor, whose payment for housing and utility services reaches 22% of the total income of a family living in one apartment. In Moscow, thanks to the regional authorities, this standard is 10%.

The owner of an apartment that is too large cannot count on compensation for paying for its entire area. The lone owner will be reimbursed for only 33 square meters. This is an area that is intended for one person. A family of two is entitled to a subsidy for 42 square meters, and for a family of three or more people compensation is calculated according to the norm of living space for each person (18 square meters).

For reference

Documents and photocopies that must be submitted to social protection for registration of subsidies for housing and communal services:

* certificate of ownership of the house, apartment, extract from the personal account;
* passports of each of the family members;
* social card of a Muscovite or a photocopy of a savings book;
* document about wages for 6 months, all living in the apartment (pensioners do not need such a certificate);
* receipts for last month about paid utility services;
* certificate of the absence of debt, and the composition of the family.

If there are registered other persons in the house or apartment, information about them is also provided to social agencies. Compensation is assigned for six months, so it becomes necessary, after this period, to reapply.

It is important

It should be remembered that if the income in the family increases, then within a month it is necessary to inform the inspector about this, since payments are due only to the needy categories of citizens. Otherwise, the social protection authority will claim the overpaid cash through the court.

note

In the case of an application for a subsidy from the 1st to the 15th day, it is paid in the same month, otherwise it is paid from the next month. If the right to receive arose only during the heating period, the application is submitted at any time prior to this period.

Benefits for Muscovites in 2016

You should know what benefits pensioners in Moscow have except those provided for by federal legislation. The government of the capital made a decision at the expense of the city budget:

* exempt them from paying tax on premises and buildings;
* to establish a regional cash supplement to bring the amount of the pension up to the Moscow social standard. Until 2016, the standard was 12,000 rubles (Post. From 27.11.2007, N 1005-PP).

In the city council of veterans of the capital, S. Sobyanin said that on 11.11.2015 a decision was made in March 2016, simultaneously with the indexation, to raise the social standard from 12,000 to 14,500 rubles... Social benefits will also rise. Pensioners who continue to work can count on this payment:

in institutions of social protection, registry office and health care;
in the field of education;
as well as in family politics;
in the field of physical education and sports;
in the state veterinary service;
in centers working with the employment of the population;
holding the post of archivist and librarian;
in housing and communal services, as janitors or cleaners of territories;
on the maintenance of garbage chutes;
workers for the care and maintenance of MKD;
stair cleaners, office space and toilets;
on duty at the entrances of apartment buildings;
in dressing rooms of JSC;
in cultural institutions on a budget, in health care or education.

* on the basis of a Muscovite social card, travel is provided without payment on any type of city transport;

* once a year, if there is a doctor's opinion, a non-working pensioner can use a voucher for sanatorium - resort treatment with 100% travel compensation;

* benefits are provided to lonely pensioners in Moscow and those receiving compensation for housing and communal services in the form of a 50% discount on broadcasting TV programs of citywide networks;

* they can take advantage of free dental prosthetics and repairs, excluding items made of gold, palladium and silver, as well as cermets;

* assistance in payment telephone connection provided for single persons and those who have dependent children under 18 years of age.

In 2016, it is planned to create a new social care service, called "Home Sanatorium", a "panic button" service and patronage, designed for the elderly with mobility problems. A pensioner can be helped with gasification of his house (post. RF Prospect N 456). Such support is provided to non-working people and private households should be the only ones. Since August 1, 2015, travel benefits for pensioners in Moscow have been canceled, but this measure only affected the Moscow region, it did not affect the residents of the capital.

The city administration of the capital has expanded the list of beneficiaries entitled to a 50% discount when paying for overhaul of housing. This list now includes 10 categories. These include: families with disabled children; persons who fought in Moscow from 22.07.1941 to 25.01.1942; working at the same time at the enterprises of the city; having a medal "For the Defense of Moscow"; and signs: " Honorary Donor USSR ", Moscow and Russia; disabled people.

The initiative to expand the list of beneficiaries at the meeting on July 28, 2015 of the Presidium of the Regional Government was made by A. Metelsky, head of the United Russia Party of the Moscow City Duma. He explained his interest in the fact that disabled Muscovites and their public organization have repeatedly asked to be included in the list of beneficiaries for paying for the overhaul of MKD.

This proposal was supported by the mayor of the capital, he proposed to increase the list to 10 categories. Thus, today over one and a half million residents of the capital are beneficiaries of benefits. In addition, it was decided to allow citizens who switch to accounts to reduce the amount of their monthly payment if they believe that they can carry out a home overhaul for a lower amount of money.

Reduction of payment for overhaul is required large families where there are 3 or more children until the youngest reaches 16 years old, and students - upon reaching 18 years old. Subsidies are allocated only for 1 apartment, and a discount is calculated from the amount of the minimum contribution (15 rubles for 1 square meter per month). It is noted that the validity of the document begins from the time the legal relationship arose, namely from 01.07.2015, from the moment of the adoption of the regional program for the overhaul of MKD.

The authorities of the capital for 2016 indexed lump sum to the anniversary of married life:

Since 2016, payments to the population who took part in the defense of Moscow during the Second World War will increase by 44%.

To exercise your rights and receive the above benefits, you must contact the social security authority at the place of registration.

In accordance with the law of the capital of 21.10.2015, No. 58 set the value of the subsistence minimum for 2016, it was 11 428 rubles. From this amount, the regional social security payment will be calculated for the pension.

Providing targeted assistance

Targeted assistance is provided for pensioners who find themselves in difficult life situations. It is intended for such residents not only in the form of money, it is given out with food and hygiene products, clothing and other essential items are allocated. This assistance is the responsibility of the regional government, so you should contact the municipal authorities to obtain it. It is worth asking for familiarization with a normative act, which specifies specific measures to provide such assistance.

According to the mayor of Moscow, it is planned to allocate 880 billion rubles for the period 2016-2018, which, together with deductions to the compulsory medical insurance, will amount to a trillion rubles. The formation of the capital's budget for three years will take place in difficult conditions the country's economy. This is affected by the decline in hydrocarbon prices, and economic sanctions against our country, and retaliatory measures - hence the rise in inflation, a decrease in business activity and an outflow of investment. Therefore, the budget of Moscow was formed taking into account the growth in the volume of revenues by 2.2% to the expected figures for the execution of the revenue budgetary part. At the same time, the budget was based on the fulfillment of social obligations to the population of the capital, and this program also took into account the increase in services in health care and education.

Thus, we can conclude that the fundamental role in raising the standard of living of the population belongs to the regional authorities. And the way this government relates to its electorate speaks of its responsibility and degree of competence.
