Which of the participants in the hostilities is entitled to a pension. How is the pension paid to combatants

The pension of the combatants (hereinafter referred to as the participants b / d) has common features with the formation of a pension among veterans of the Great Patriotic War (WWII for short), but with its own individual characteristics, therefore our article is devoted to the peculiarities of calculating pension payments to veterans.

Features of the formation of a pension

Participants of the b / d are employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (for short, the Ministry of Internal Affairs) who carry out direct orders to resolve armed conflicts.

  • military - police officers; criminal structures that took part in battles on foreign territories;
  • civilians sent to serve in Afghanistan from 1978-1989.

A complete list of persons participating in battles is enshrined in Article 3 of Federal Law No. 5 "On Veterans" dated January 12, 1995 (hereinafter FZ-5). Veterans can be: citizens of the Russian Federation; foreigners who have lived in Russia for a long time; persons without civil rights.

Features of the appointment of pension payments

According to the law No. 4461-1 of 02/12/1993, non-domiciled participants have the right to receive two pensions: basic and "veteran". The basic pension depends on the length of service, seniority, position, rank, allowances. And the second - 2 600 rubles .

Bills

1. Pension issues are regulated by Federal Law No. 4468 -1 of 12.02.1993. Important fragments of the law:

  • Provides for three types of pensions: length of service, disability, loss of breadwinner. The amount of the pension directly depends on the size of the monetary remuneration of each war veteran;
  • The pension increase is 32%;
  • The pension is paid to family members of a deceased veteran b / d in case of death in the course of work. In case of late application, pension savings are paid for the previous period without time limits.

2. ФЗ-5 "On veterans" dated 01/12/1995.

Benefits for veterans b / d

The Federal Law-5 contains a list of the main preferential tariffs for veterans, for example, the following:

  1. reduction of tax deductions;
  2. pension supplements;
  3. provision of real estate;
  4. discounts on utility bills;
  5. receiving free assistance from medical institutions and so on.

The process of registration of a participant's pension b / d

  1. Registration is carried out at the military registration and enlistment office at the place of residence.
  2. Obtaining documents on participation in battles.
  3. The presence of a certificate. Persons with the status of a veteran of military operations are required to obtain a certificate. It includes the following data: title of the documentation; FULL NAME; the name of the government agency; passport data; the photo; list of preferential terms; date of issue; signature of the owner and official.

    The stamp on the ID must be on the right and left inside the document!

    To issue a certificate, it is necessary to prepare: a military ID, a personal file, papers confirming the presence of wounds, an extract from the order for appointment to a position, awards, a flight book, an archive certificate to confirm participation in battles. The entire list must be submitted to the central commission, which, after a period of 30 days, issues (or refuses) a certificate. Every veteran is obliged to register the certificate after receiving it in the ledger;

  4. Registration of a personal bank account.
  5. Contacting the Pension Fund (hereinafter referred to as the PFR). The main list of documentation includes: passport data; photo size 3 × 4; papers confirming the existence of awards; employment history; papers on participation in battles; veteran's certificate; papers by disability group (if assigned). The entire list is provided in several ways: with your own hand, through the principal, the Internet, by the Russian Post.

The pension can be obtained through the military commissariat, not the PFR!

Consideration of the documentation by the staff of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation within 10 days, as a result of which a decision is made whether the applicant should amend the documentation or assign pension payments to the veteran.

The approximate size of the pension is up to 30 thousand! It is formed as a result of the annual indexing. In addition, the size of pension contributions is influenced by: seniority; territory of hostilities; injuries and trauma; disability group.

Pension supplements

The issue of regulating additional payments is enshrined in the Federal Law-319 of 03.12.2007; article 45.46 FZ-319 of 03.12.2007.

The basic supplement is 32% of the basic amount of the pension. To receive the specified payment, you need to prepare documentation for the PFR employees, namely: a passport; application in the form of the FIU; employment history; military ID; papers confirming the fact of participation in battles.

The entire list can be submitted in person, via the Russian Post, through a proxy, Internet resources.

Participants b / d in Chechnya, Afghanistan, Ukraine

To combatants in Chechnya

Individuals who participated in the war with Chechnya at the end of the 90s have a new status as a veteran of hostilities. The specified status is set:

  • soldiers, officers who served in Chechnya;
  • travel employee;
  • employees who were purposefully sent to a hot spot;
  • persons directly participating in the war.

A Chechen veteran must have a certificate.

FZ-5 provides Chechen employees with benefits and increased pensions. So, in the presence of a certificate, a citizen has the right to an increased pension, as well as the right to monetary remuneration (shortly, the EDV), which is not taxed.

Pensions of military participants in Chechnya

The Chechen servicemen's pension consists of a basic part and additional payments from the state. The average level of social payments is 4,770 rubles, and the amount of additional payments is 10,000 rubles.

Citizens who were injured while performing official duties in Chechnya are entitled to a number of allowances, such as, for example: Group 1 - 3137 rubles; 2nd - 2240 rubles; 3rd - 1793 p.

The size of the pension depends on the period of service, the size of the salary, and the period of work in Chechnya. However, payments must be at least the minimum subsistence level in the country.

Participants b / d in Afghanistan


Persons who served in Afghanistan receive the status of war veterans (WWII). The main groups of Afghan war veterans include: servicemen sent by the country to participate in battles; employees of the automotive military unit; pilots; aircraft crew members; employees who were posted to Afghanistan from 1979-1989.

When calculating pension payments, the PFR employees form it on the basis of an algorithm of actions, which is intended for pension contributions to veterans of the Great Patriotic War. The main difference is the change in the length of service - 1 year is equal to three years of experience.

The indicators of pension payments depend on such factors as: length of service, length of service, the position held by a participant in a b / d in Afghanistan. The main condition is that the pension should not reach the subsistence level. In this case, the state provides for a number of allowances and benefits. As a result, the average pension level among the participants of the b / d Afghanistan is 8000-9000 rubles.

And from 02/01/2016, the pension was increased by 7% due to indexing. And beneficiaries who decided to refuse social assistance received an increase in the amount of 3696.4 rubles.

A special kind of veterans are disabled people who were wounded during the battle in Afghanistan. People with disabilities have received such supplements to their pensions as: the first group receives a term of service pension increased three times; the second group can receive a doubled pension; the third is a 1.5-fold increase in pension payments.

Participants b / d in Ukraine

The main groups of participants in Ukraine's b / d are recorded in article 5 of the Law of Ukraine "On the status of war veterans and guarantees of their social protection" (briefly the ZU), which include the following categories of persons:

  • servicemen who carried out official assignments in a foreign territory;
  • the military sent to Afghanistan;
  • persons in charge of the automobile battalion;
  • flight personnel.

Pension contributions are formed on the basis of the Law of Ukraine "On Compulsory State Pension Insurance", which directly depend on the total period of work in hot spots, the salary of an employee.

From the beginning of 2012, additional allowances will be paid to disabled people and veterans of the non-profit if the amount of the pension does not reach the minimum indicators in the country.

According to the Law of Ukraine "On improving the financial situation of participants in hostilities and war invalids", veterans are entitled to a monetary bonus in the following amounts: 1 group - 70 UAH; 2.3 groups - 50 UAH; veterans b / d - 40 UAH

Pension for participants b / d in 2017

According to the latest data, in 2017 it is planned to index pension payments by 5.5%. Such a small percentage of the increase in the pension payments of a combatant is associated with the country's economic difficulties. Consequently, the actual size of the increase in pension directly depends on the general situation in the country.

In addition, local authorities are involved in the formation of additional benefits, which have the right to introduce preferential tariffs for all retirees, including for veterans of the b / d. Therefore, a pensioner must clarify the purpose of benefits in each separate region of the country.

Since there was no second indexation of pensions in 2016, the state decided to introduce a lump sum payments in the amount of 5 thousand rubles at the beginning of the new 2017. The period of "bonuses" to pensioners is January 2017. According to preliminary estimates, the state will spend 220 billion from the budget for the implementation of this task. But since the payment is a one-time payment, it will not harm the state budget, unlike a full-fledged indexing procedure.

Participants in hostilities are equated with the status of WWII veterans. Consequently, the procedure for calculating pensions is similar to the formation of pension payments among war veterans. However, a member of a b / d has different indicators of experience, length of service, salary, therefore the final level of pension is extremely individual and has a number of features, which we described in our article.

Last updated March 2019

Due to ignorance of the laws, combat 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 to veterans of military operations in 2019 will operate on the territory of the Russian Federation and whether they will differ from benefits in 2018.

War Veterans Benefits 2019

Next year, as well as this year, benefits to war 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 of 12.01.1995 N 5-FZ (as amended on 30.10.2017) "On Veterans".
  2. Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
  3. Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 N 4468-I "On the pension provision of persons who did 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 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!

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

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

Pension benefits

They manifest themselves in:

  1. Increased (compared to a regular pension) amount. For each veteran, it is calculated individually and will depend on:
    • Work experience;
    • Areas of war;
    • The presence of injuries, disability.

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

  2. Supplement to the basic part of the veteran's pension in the amount of 32%. In some regions, there are special multiplying coefficients, so the pension becomes even larger.
  3. Receiving a one-time cash aid (LTA). Its size, while maintaining the NSO is in 2017 - 1731.76 rubles, if the NSO is abandoned - 2780.74 rubles.

Housing benefits

War veterans can qualify for housing improvements 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, therefore the provision of this type of assistance is sponsored from the state budget, and WBD receive cash certificates instead of housing in kind.

To take advantage of 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 parameter of "need", that is:
    • Do not own real estate objects;
    • Own real estate that does not meet residential standards;
    • To live in a premises under a social rent agreement that does not meet residential standards.

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

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

We attach the following documents to the application:

  • Original and copy of the passport of the WBD and all family members (for children - birth certificates);
  • Original and copy of the WBD certificate;
  • EHNR certificate (extract from Rosreestr);
  • Extract from home books;
  • Housing documents (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 rent agreement (if the applicant is a tenant);
  • Marriage or divorce certificate;
  • A copy of the 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. 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 and the onset of the applicant's turn, the administration notifies him of this. Within six months from this moment, the war veteran must use the certificate - find suitable housing and conclude a sale and purchase agreement.

The certificate is not issued to the hands, but is provided to the seller of the property when the transaction is made. You cannot cash out the certificate in any way.

STEP 5. After the conclusion of the transaction, it is necessary to register the ownership of the acquired real estate 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 \u003d C * H,where:

  • R - the amount of the subsidy, expressed in rubles;
  • FROM - the size of the average market value of 1 sq. m. total area of \u200b\u200bhousing (set for each region);
  • H - social norm of housing area (for WBD it is 18 sq. M).

The social norm of the total area of \u200b\u200bthe dwelling is set at 33 sq. meters - for single citizens, 42 sq. meters - for a family of 2 people and 18 sq. meters for each family member with a family size of 3 people or more. Officers with the rank of colonel and above, as well as those with a scientific degree, are entitled to 15 additional meters.

WBD is given the right to choose in the acquisition of housing: he can buy an apartment in a new building, and a "secondary housing", 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 turned to the housing department to get registered. When submitting an application, I asked the employees how much the certificate was entitled to. 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 lease agreement);
  • Compensation in the amount of 50% for the payment of the overhaul fee (but not more than 50% of the amount 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 the bills have to be paid.

The amount of 50% of the monthly rent goes to the account indicated by the veteran.

notethat benefits for paying bills for electricity, water, gas for WBD are not introduced by federal legislation! 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 clause 1 of clause 2 of Art. 218 Tax Code, when calculating the income tax of a veteran of military operations, a tax deduction of 500 rubles 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 the overpaid money for the whole year will be returned to you.

This tax deduction applies to all types of income:

  • Salary;
  • Income from the sale of property (apartment, car);
  • Income from renting out property;
  • Income from a work contract, etc.

Example No. 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 the WBD certificate. His salary is 40,000 rubles. The income tax rate is 13%. He pays monthly tax in the amount of 40,000 X 13% \u003d 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 of 500 rubles when calculating the tax:

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

The savings will amount to 65 rubles per month, and 780 rubles per year.

To receive this tax deduction, you must:

Where do you want to receive? Algorithm of actions Required documents
At the place of work
  • Contact the tax authorities with an application for a tax deduction and wait for a notification from them.
  • When you receive notification, write the application to the employer's name. Give it to him along with the notification and other documents or to the accounting department (if any).
  • Receive monthly salary including tax deduction.
  • Statement
  • Tax Notice
  • A copy of the WBD certificate
  • Copy of the passport
  • Copy of TIN
At the tax office
  • At the end of the year, submit a 3-NDFL tax return, write an application for a tax refund and provide copies of documents confirming copies of your WBD status.
  • Expect a refund to your specified account within 4 months.
  • Help on the form 3-NDFL.
  • A 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
  • Copies of passport
  • Copies of TIN
  • Copies of the WBD certificate

War veterans who have received disability groups 1,2,3 while performing combat missions enjoy an increased tax deduction of 3,000 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, the regional law can introduce them - the benefits are valid within the region of residence of the veteran (the place of registration of the transport does not matter).

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

Region The size The type of transport covered by the exemption
Moscow 100% Ground vehicle (except for snowmobiles and snowmobiles) up to 200 hp
Moscow region 50% - WBD;
100% - veterans of the Great Patriotic War.		 Passenger car (up to 150 hp) or motorcycle (up to 50 hp)
St. Petersburg 100% Vehicles over 15 years old or less than 150 hp.
Leningrad region. 100% Passenger car (up to 150 hp)
Rostov region 100% Passenger car (up to 150 hp)
Voronezh region 100% TS (up to 200 hp)

Saratov region 100% Passenger car or motorcycle (up to 150 hp)
Volgograd region 100% TS (up to 100 hp)
Stavropol region 100% Any
Krasnodar region 100% Passenger car (up to 150 hp), motorcycle (up to 35 hp), boat (up to 20 hp) - the discount is provided for 1 vehicle with the highest power
Property tax

tax code completely exempts from paying property taxcombat veterans, namely:

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

The benefit can be used in relation to:

  • Apartments, rooms in it or a communal apartment;
  • Houses;
  • Commercial premises used in professional creative activities;
  • Buildings (no more than 50 sq m) located on plots for maintaining ancillary personal, dacha farming, truck farming, etc.
  • 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 credit.

Land tax

WBD are not fully exempt from land tax. They can take advantage of a tax deduction of 10,000 rubles. It is by this amount that the cadastral value of the site is reduced before starting the calculation of the tax amount.

Example No. 3... V. I. Kupriyanova owns a land 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 take advantage of the privilege only if you pay tax for 1 site within the same region. But at the same time, if there are several plots, and they are located in different regions, you can use the privilege in relation to one plot for each region.

Example No. 4... V. I. Kupriyanova 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. Let's calculate the tax, taking into account the deduction:

(120,500 + 136,000 - 10,000) * 0.3% \u003d 739.5 (p)

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

State duty relief

When applying for the protection of his rights, enshrined in the Federal Law "On Veterans", to a magistrate or to a civil court, a veteran of military operations is exempt from paying state duty.

Exceptions are claims with a declared price of more than RUB 1 million. Then the state duty is paid, but at a reduced rate. 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 fee payable at the price of the claim of 1,000,000 rubles.

Other federal benefits

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

  • Installing a telephone in an apartment without waiting in line;
  • Free prosthetics (money is returned later in the form of compensation);
  • Purchase of tickets for any transport without queuing;
  • Preferential use of all types of services of communication institutions, cultural and educational and sports and health institutions;

What is the difference between a combatant and a veteran

The concepts of "participant" and "veteran" are not legally defined.

However, Article 3 of the Federal Law "On Veterans" lists those persons who are combat veterans:

  1. Servicemen in automobile battalions and military personnel of flight personnel on the territory of Afghanistan during the period when hostilities were conducted there;
  2. Sent to work in Afghanistan from December 1979 to December 1989;
  3. Employees in the Syrian Arab Republic since September 30, 2015;
  4. Demining the territory of the USSR and adjacent states in the period from 1945 to 1951;
  5. Engaged in combat trawling operations from 1945 to 1957;
  6. Carried out official duties during the hostilities on the territory of the Russian Federation, the USSR, as well as other states
    • Algeria;
    • Egypt;
    • Angola;
    • People's Republic of Yemen;
    • Vietnam;
    • Syria;
    • Ethiopia;
    • Afghanistan;
    • Cambodia;
    • Mozambique;

    • Bangladesh;
    • Lebanon;
    • Tajikistan;
    • Chechnya;
    • North Caucasian region;
    • South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Thus, the participants in the hostilities in Afghanistan and the hostilities in Chechnya are labor veterans.

If a veteran wants to take advantage of the benefits, then his status must be confirmed by the appropriate certificate... If there is none, you will have to go through the procedure to obtain it.

Benefits to combatants are allowed only if they received a veteran's certificate in accordance with the procedure approved by order of the Russian Ministry of Defense No. 2288 dated August 11, 2012. Then they will enjoy the benefits of a combat veteran. Federal legislation does not provide for a separate category of benefits for “participants”.

Are benefits to family members of veterans

Some benefits also apply to family members of veterans. For instance:

  1. Children of veterans can visit children's health camps once a year at half price.
  2. The child is assigned free two meals a day.

In addition, the family of a deceased / deceased veteran has the right to use all of his benefits, if they were supported by him. Children are automatically considered dependents, but the widow will have to collect a package of documents to prove this fact.

The following are entitled to such benefits:

  • widow - before remarrying;
  • children under the age of majority (or up to 23 years old, if they study at a university on a full-time basis);
  • parents of the deceased.

In addition, they are given the right of preferential admission to homes for the disabled, boarding homes, various boarding schools for the elderly, and social service centers.

Regional Benefits for War Veterans

The above list does not end with the benefits for WBD. In fact, they enjoy a much larger “package” of benefits, the standard (federal) volume of which is supplemented by regional preferences. The latter are introduced at the discretion of the local authorities, depending on the filling of the budget.

In Moscow

  1. Free travel by any public transport in Moscow (except for taxis and minibuses).
  2. Free production and repair of dentures.
  3. Monthly compensation for payment of telephone services in the amount of 345 rubles (indexed annually).

".

However, carefully read all the questions and answers to the article, if there is a detailed answer to such a question, then your question will not be published.

According to the law of the Russian Federation, veterans are those citizens of the country who deserve special guarantees from the state, both financial and social. In fact, veterans are a category of military personnel whose service was associated with the fulfillment of military duty. For example, citizens who fought in Chechnya and Afghanistan can be safely called veterans. Of course, veterans are also those who took part in the Great Patriotic War. Also called veterans are those who have been awarded medals and orders for services to the Motherland, as well as those who have special work experience (veteran). For such citizens, the state provides various benefits, subsidies and, of course, pensions. The state helps these people to improve their housing and living conditions. In addition, it systematically informs citizens, noting the merits and deeds of these people.

War veterans pension: types

Since mostly veterans are pensioners, in this case the payment of pensions in the proper amount is the only way to provide social support for such citizens. It should be noted that veterans deserve such pension options:

  1. Insurance. This is the most common type that many Russian pensioners receive. In addition to military pensions and disability pensions (if needed), veterans are entitled to a labor pension. This type, as a rule, applies to labor veterans, but former combatants can also apply for it. In the case of labor veterans, bonuses related to work experience will apply. The more experience, the higher the premium.
  2. Social. She can be appointed if a military pensioner belongs to some kind of disability group. This type can be combined with allowances and pension insurance.
  3. State. Many veterans are eligible for state pensions. Basically, these are those who have a long service before the state. For example, these include citizens who took part in World War II and residents of besieged Leningrad. They receive a payment, the size of which is 100-200% of the established social. Retirees who have been pilots or astronauts in the past are entitled to a rate of up to 800%.

Note that participants in the Second World War can also apply for a monthly cash payment, and not only those who fought directly, but also those who worked in the rear and were disabled during the military conflict.

Also, residents of the besieged Leningrad can apply for the EDV. Moreover, the family of a deceased citizen who had the right to it during his lifetime has the right to this payment.

Today, the amount of the EDV is:

  1. For invalids of the Great Patriotic War - 4 795.17 rubles.
  2. For participants in the Second World War - 3,596.37 rubles.
  3. Concentration camp prisoners - 4,795.17 rubles.
  4. Participants in local wars - 2 638.27 rubles.

This year, an indexation of 5.4% is to take place.

The size and calculation of pension payments

The pension is calculated for veterans of all groups on a general basis. The only thing, allowances and additional payments are calculated on an individual basis, depending on merit and status. For example, for veterans of the Great Patriotic War, the pension is formed taking into account age, disability group and additional services to the Fatherland. The social pension is calculated according to general criteria, depending on the region, allowances and the regional coefficient. All types of pensions are paid from the Pension Fund, and the supplement, for example, is collected from the state budget.

Procedure for receiving pensions

The procedure for registering pensions for all veterans is approximately the same. The only difference is in the documents. In general, being a veteran, you can receive a pension only after following the following procedures:

  1. First you need to register with the military registration and enlistment office. There you need to get a certificate confirming participation in hostilities. Also, a certificate of a combat veteran is issued there.
  2. Then you need to issue a personal account. You can find out about the registration procedure at the nearest branch of Sberbank. There they will tell you and help you open an account where funds will be transferred.
  3. Then you need to contact the Pension Fund at your place of residence.
  4. Next, you need to confirm the compliance of awards and medals with merit.
  5. Wait for the application to be considered.
  6. After that, you can receive a pension on a general basis.

As for the documentation, it is necessary to submit to the PF:

  • identity passport;
  • photo 3 × 4;
  • documents that give the right to receive special allowances and surcharges;
  • certificate from the place of work about the length of service;
  • if the person continues to work, then the work book;
  • certificate of a home front worker during the Second World War (if any);
  • medical certificate of disability (if any).

It is important to note that if a veteran for some reason changed his place of residence, he needs to register with the Pension Fund at the new place of residence. In this case, the pension will be changed in accordance with the established norms of the region.

Pension increase for veterans

Every veteran is interested in the question: when will the pension increase and how much? It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally, since everything depends on the economy of the state. Veterans who have the right to apply for the recalculation of pensions can do so without an application. It is enough just to submit the relevant documents. In today's conditions, life is hard for everyone, including veterans. Despite the fact that, in fact, they should receive different allowances, benefits and additional payments, in fact, very often it takes months and years to achieve an increase in the size of the pension. Reportedly, this year the veterans will receive an increase in the monthly payment, which will amount to 2,780.74 rubles. Note that before that the amount was 2,638.27 rubles.

What are the benefits of veterans

Along with the question of raising pensions, many are interested in what benefits they deserve. First, let's figure out what types of benefits exist:

  1. Social.
  2. Tax.
  3. Pension.

The first group includes utility bills, that is, veterans are entitled to a discount when paying for these tariffs. Also, this can include free departmental medicine, dental prosthetics, 5 weeks of paid leave (for workers), skip-the-line service at the box office, provision of vouchers, and extraordinary entry into the housing cooperative.

As for tax benefits, they apply to transport, property and land. Pension benefits are monthly supplements, allowances, and social services. In some regions, all these payments are provided by local budgets.

In addition to everything that we have listed, it should be noted that veterans have the right to increased provision with everything they need. This includes food, clothing, medicine, and more. An early retirement pension is also established for them. As a rule, labor veterans and combatants (WWII and local wars) have the right to do so. In addition, they can freely participate in the state's social packages and apply for a timely adjustment of pensions and other related payments. The state is especially attentive to such persons and provides them with everything they need. In general, veterans in the Russian Federation have a lot of priorities, benefits and payments. They receive pensions much higher than other citizens. It is noteworthy that Chernobyl victims also have the right to privileges and an increased pension, because they suffered as a result of a large-scale disaster. Especially privileges are given to those who participated in the liquidation of the accident, as a result of which they undermined their health or became disabled. Each year, the pensions and benefits of these citizens are reviewed and, if possible, increased.

The most important:

What pension will the veterans of the Great Patriotic War receive in 2019?

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

Grounds for assignment of status

All the main benefits and privileges of veterans of different categories are spelled out in. Article 3 of this normative document establishes a list of persons endowed with the status of a veteran of military operations (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 dismissed military personnel;
  • liable for military service;
  • participants in military training;
  • police officers and state security officials;
  • civil servants of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Defense of the USSR;
  • correctional officers.

The following categories are highlighted separately:

  • servicemen, officers 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 automobile battalions for the delivery of goods to Afghanistan during the period of the military conflict;
  • flight personnel of the USSR who took part in the hostilities in Afghanistan;
  • citizens serving military units of Russia and the USSR in the territories of foreign states, who received wounds and contusions in the performance of their duties or were awarded medals and orders;
  • civilians who worked in Afghanistan from 12/01/1979 to 12/01/1989;
  • persons sent to Syria for the performance of official tasks starting from September 30, 2015

The WBD status 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 service assignments in 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 Supplement to the Veterans Act.

Many questions are connected with obtaining the 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 are the benefits of WBD?

The benefits provided by the state to the participants in hostilities can be divided into several categories:

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

Let's dwell on each point in more detail.

Pension privileges

Veterans can be divided into those who have the status of a soldier, and those who have visited "hot spots" while serving in the army by conscription. The first is a military pension, the conditions for access to which include:

  • reaching the age of 45;
  • the presence of at least 20 years of service or at least 25 years of total work experience, of which 12.5 years the citizen had the status of a soldier.

Such citizens are assigned a pension in the amount of half of the monetary allowance paid to them during the period of fulfillment of their official 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 allowance.

Veterans who are not military personnel are assigned a pension according to the general procedure. 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 supplement of 32% of the fixed insurance payment is imposed, which in 2018 amounted to 4,982.90 rubles. Thus, the size of the veteran allowance in 2018 is equal to 1,594.53 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 the veteran in accordance with clause 1.3 of Art. 16 of Law No. 5-FZ. It is provided in the form of a housing subsidy, implying gratuitous co-financing by the state of the purchase of residential property. Its value is determined based on the number of family members of the veteran and the cost per square meter of housing in the region.

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

  • do not have their own home, registered for you or your family members;
  • do not have housing under a social contract. hiring;
  • live in a room that does not meet sanitary standards, as well as area standards (18 m 2 per person);
  • live in a hostel, communal apartment or office building.

The granting of subsidies is of a declarative nature. To join the queue, a veteran must submit an application to the housing department of the municipality administration.

The following documents are attached to the application:

  1. passports of all family members;
  2. birth certificates of children;
  3. wBD certificate;
  4. insurance certificate of the applicant;
  5. if you have your own home - a certificate for it or an extract of the USRR, technical passport;
  6. to confirm the number of registered residents - an extract from the apartment card (when living in a rented room, it is replaced by a certificate of actually living);
  7. to confirm that family members have no residential property - a certificate from the registration chamber;
  8. details of the bank account to which the subsidy will be transferred.

The documents will be considered by the housing commission within 60 days, after which the veteran will be notified of the queue or the need to correct the shortcomings. Until 2005, veterans of military operations were put on a preferential queue, but those who were registered later were entitled to receive subsidies only on a general basis.

Compensation for housing and communal services

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

  • housing maintenance;
  • major overhaul;
  • utilities (water, electricity) within the established standards;
  • heating (including reimbursement of funds spent on the purchase of fuel for those living in a private house);
  • gas supply.

The benefit is issued through the local department of social services. protection and is limited in time. You must re-confirm your right to compensation every six months.

Tax preferences

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

  • Personal income tax;
  • property tax nat. persons;
  • transport tax;
  • land tax;
  • state duty when going to court.

The personal income tax benefit is provided in the form of a tax deduction. This is the amount by which the veteran's income is formally reduced before income tax is calculated, as a result of which, after taxation, he remains in a larger amount of money.

The amount of the deduction can be:

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

The right to deduction at the place of work in the personnel department is drawn up, where it is necessary to send an application and a copy of the veteran's certificate. But first, your right must be confirmed at the tax office, from where the employer will receive a corresponding notification. The deduction is applied in relation to all types of income - salary, income from work contracts and from the sale of property.

Property tax exemption is guaranteed. A veteran can take advantage of the privilege for one object of each type of property (apartment, private house, garage, summer cottage, etc.).

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

Examples of transport tax incentives

  1. In Moscow, WBD who own a vehicle with a capacity of up to 200 hp receive tax exemption. with., with the exception of snowmobiles.
  2. In the Leningrad, Rostov, Novosibirsk and Saratov regions, passenger cars with a capacity of up to 150 liters belonging to veterans do not fall under taxation. from.
  3. In the Stavropol Territory, WBD does 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 (clause 5). If the total area of \u200b\u200bthe 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 retained when applying to the courts of all levels.

Registration of tax benefits is carried out at the IFTS at the place of registration, where you must submit an application and a WBD certificate.

Monthly payments

According to Art. 23.1 of Law No. 5-FZ, veterans are entitled to monthly cash payments (MCA). They are indexed annually, and as of February 1, 2018, the amount of the EDV will be 2869.72 rubles. But this amount is due only to the veteran who refused to provide a social set of services established by law No. 178-FZ of July 17, 1999.

What is required for a veteran within 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 treatment site and back (119.75 rubles).

For the refusal of the entire social set, an additional 1,082.53 rubles are laid. If the veteran wishes to keep these services for himself, the amount of his monthly income 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 high costs for medicines, you can leave only the service of providing them free of charge from the state, but due to the inability to travel, refuse vouchers to sanatoriums and discounted travel.

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

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

Labor privileges

In the performance of labor duties, WBD are entitled to unpaid additional leave in the amount of 35 days. And on the main vacation, they can go at any time convenient for them. Also, a veteran has the right to receive free retraining in order to obtain a new specialty or improve qualifications.

Medical Benefits

The veterans retain the right to undergo free treatment in the 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 dentures.

It was already mentioned above about the possibility of obtaining free medicines and vouchers from the state to sanatoriums. A certificate received from the FIU confirming these rights must be presented to a doctor at a polyclinic - he will issue a prescription for free receipt of medicines according to existing diseases.

You can go with a prescription only to those pharmacies that have signed a contract with the state. A list of them can be found in the clinic. The same procedure applies to preferential sanatorium treatment: a voucher can be obtained only in those institutions that interact with government agencies. Moreover, VBD can have free rest exclusively in departmental sanatoriums.

A referral for non-sanatorium treatment will be issued only if there is a medical reason. With him you need to go to the social services. protection. Additionally, documents are provided there:

  • the passport;
  • veteran's certificate;
  • SNILS.

The application is considered within 20 days, but even if the outcome is positive, the voucher will have to wait a little longer, as queues are formed for them.

Helping the families of deceased veterans

In the event of the death of WBD, his relatives retain the right to use a number of social benefits. These include:

  1. housing subsidies;
  2. compensation of 50% of the cost of housing and communal services;
  3. free medical care;
  4. priority right to the appointment of social. old age home care worker.

Relatives who are eligible for benefits after the death of a veteran include:

  • parents;
  • a spouse or spouse who has not remarried, living alone or with minor children.

In addition to the listed benefits, the relatives of the deceased WBD have the right to receive payment from the state for his burial.

Medal for the military operation in Syria

In November 2015, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation 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. The citizens who received the award had questions about the social benefits accompanying 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 significant changes to the list 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.

Pension payments for old age are only a small part of the measures of state support existing in the Russian Federation, among them a special place is occupied by social pensions for combatants. From this article, the reader will be able to find out who is entitled to these payments, how to get them and calculate them independently.

Who is meant by the term "combat veteran"

The term "combat veteran" includes various categories of military personnel. According to Art. 3 of Federal Law No. 5, these include:

  • Leadership and rank and file of various military structures.
  • Former servicemen who took part in demining and combat trawling in the post-war years.
  • Veterans of Afghanistan, Chechnya, Syria.
  • Other categories of persons participating in hostilities on the territory of the country and abroad.

Military veterans are entitled to certain types of payments. They differ from civilians not only in size, but also in the procedure and conditions of provision.

The regulation of the provision of benefits and payments to military veterans is based on Federal Law No. 5 "On Veterans", as well as various federal and regional decrees. Payment of military pensions is regulated by Federal Law No. 4468-I, insurance - Federal Law No. 400.

The Tax and Housing Codes also contain a list of benefits provided to military veterans. Taken together, the required pensions and discounts will provide the former soldier with a good financial situation.
A civilian who, due to the circumstances, became a direct participant in hostilities, can also be recognized as a military veteran. In this case, it is possible to issue a civil pension with allowances for the status received.

Pension payments to military veterans

Registration and payment of pensions to veterans is carried out by the pension service of the department in which the person served. If a civilian was recognized as a veteran, the FIU will pay his pension.
A military veteran has the right to apply for a seniority pension.

The conditions for its provision are as follows:

  1. Minimum military experience. In 2018, it is 20 years old. The experience can be discontinuous. It is mandatory to include urgent service.
  2. Reaching the legal age for retirement. The military retires at the age of 45. In this case, the total length of service should be 25 years, of which 12.5 - military service.

The size of the pension of the combatants depends on the level of monetary allowance. The procedure for calculating payments and registration is quite specific. We'll talk about them a little later.
In addition to a military pension, a citizen has the right to issue an insurance pension. This right is granted in the event that a soldier, after being dismissed from service, took a civilian job.

In this case, pension payments are provided on general terms:

  • Reaching retirement age. For a woman it is 55 years old, for a man it is 60 years old.
  • Minimum work experience of at least 9 years.
  • Accumulation of a sufficient number of retirement points - at least 13.8.

If a citizen is already receiving a military pension, while he wants to issue insurance payments, a fixed premium will not be taken into account when calculating them. In this case, the amount of the pension depends only on the number of points and their cash equivalent. In 2018, it is 81.49 rubles. However, such a calculation is individual. So, do not forget that an ordinary citizen who has the right to insurance payments can be recognized as a veteran. In the process of calculating them, the premium will also be taken into account.

What is the amount of pension this year for military veterans

The average pension of military veterans in 2019 is 16 thousand rubles. Payments were indexed taking into account the inflation rate at the end of the previous year. The increase was 3.7%.
Since the level of monetary allowance is of great importance in calculating military pensions, the military is interested in increasing it. However, this has not happened for several years. Payments to war veterans are increasing at the same time as other types of pensions and social benefits, i.e. are recalculated taking into account inflation, which amounted to 3.2%.
The current government promises to increase salaries by 4% in the near future. At the same time, when the increase will be carried out is unknown.

Departmental pension supplement

According to the current legislation, the departmental pension of military veterans is to be increased by 32%. In this case, it means the registration of increased civil benefits. This is true for individuals with mixed work experience, the minimum size of which is 25 years.
The amount of payments will depend on the minimum amount of social benefits, taking into account a surcharge of thirty-two percent. In addition, the funds are subject to mandatory indexation, carried out once a year. If a veteran is entitled to several bonuses at the same time, he must choose the most advantageous one. Thus, it is impossible to simultaneously assign a pension for seniority and disability.

Pension payments to veterans of Afghanistan

Participants in hostilities in Afghanistan have the right to apply for a military pension, with one length of service being equal to three years. In addition to the basic payment, a supplement of 32% of the minimum social pension will be provided as a single tax.
Veterans of Afghanistan can receive an additional payment in cash or in kind. The size of the first will be 3696, 40 rubles. If the recipient of the funds refuses the money, this amount will be provided with medicines, paid for treatment in a sanatorium, medical institutions.
Disabled people occupy a special place among the veterans of Afghanistan.

Pension payments for them are subject to increase:

  1. For disabled people of the 1st group - three times.
  2. For disabled people of 2 groups - twice.

If, after retiring to a military pension, an Afghan veteran decides to continue working in civilian work, having reached retirement age, he will be able to issue insurance payments. Their average value in the country is 9 thousand rubles, the total amount of pensions of the former Afghans is 20 thousand rubles.

Pension payments to veterans of Chechnya

Servicemen who take part in hostilities on the territory of Chechnya also have the right to receive a military pension and monthly allowances.

Upon receiving the status of a disabled person, payments are increased by:

  • 3138 rubles for 1 disability group.
  • 2241 rubles for the 2nd group of disability.
  • 1794 rubles for the 3rd disability group.

The EDV for veterans, in this case, is 2781 rubles. In addition, it is envisaged to receive a social package in the amount of 1,053 rubles. It includes payment for medicines, travel and sanatorium treatment. The total amount of pension payments will depend not only on the required allowances, but also on the length of service and the amount of military allowance.

Pension payments to veterans of Syria

Syrian veterans have the right to count on the provision of:

  1. Social and insurance payments.
  2. Disability allowance.
  3. Monthly EDV.
  4. Discounts on utility bills.
  5. Priority and free service in medical institutions.
  6. Tax incentives.

The bonus to the social pension of participants in hostilities in Syria is:

  • RUB 3088 - persons with a disabled status.
  • 1699 RUB - persons seconded from the service due to the fulfillment of a combat mission.
  • RUB 927 - persons performing auxiliary functions, but not participating in hostilities.

The average pension of Syrian veterans is 20 thousand rubles in Russia. In Moscow, this figure is equal to 30 thousand rubles.

Subtleties of calculating the pension of a military veteran

The pension of military veterans is calculated taking into account individual factors:

  1. Seniority benefits are provided in the amount of half of the salary with a three percent premium for each year of processing.
  2. Payments for the mixed type, implying a total experience of 25 years, are calculated at half the pay and one percent surcharge for each year of processing.

Do not forget about the required allowances, which were discussed in the previous sections of our article. These include additional payments for people with disabilities and monthly allowances.
If a civilian who was directly involved in hostilities or performing an auxiliary function was recognized as a veteran, payments will be calculated taking into account:

  • Fixed amount.
  • Pension points.
  • Increasing coefficient.
  • The cash is equivalent to one point.

Also, persons can count on the provision of a monthly income, the amount of which is about three thousand rubles. It has already been said above that these benefits are provided in kind or in cash. The choice depends on the wishes of the recipient. The EDV, like other payments, is subject to annual indexation. In 2019, the increase was 3.2%.

Registration of the pension of a combatant

A war veteran can apply for a pension at the commissariat of the organization in which he served. If, in addition to military payments, a citizen wants to receive civilian payments, he will need to contact the PF.
Whatever organization the veteran turns to, he needs to write an application for a pension.

If the registration takes place at the Pension Fund, you will need to provide:

  1. The passport.
  2. SNILS.
  3. A copy of the work book.

To apply for a pension at the military commissariat, you will need to provide the following list of documents:

  • The passport.
  • Photo 3 * 4.
  • Awards documents.
  • Labor book and other documents confirming the passage of military service.
  • Document confirming the assignment of disability.

The list of required documentation can be expanded, depending on individual circumstances. In this regard, it is worthwhile to visit the pension service in advance and find out the exact list.

Standard procedure for assigning payments

Before applying for a pension, a veteran should familiarize himself with the approximate sequence of actions in advance:

  1. Registration is being carried out at the military registration and enlistment office.
  2. Documents are drawn up confirming the right to receive payments.
  3. A bank account is opened or a statement with the details is taken.
  4. A complete package of documents is collected, which is subsequently transferred to the pension service.

After receiving the documents, employees of the pension service check them for accuracy. This procedure is carried out within 10 days, then a decision is made on the appointment or refusal to apply for a pension.
If a positive decision is made, the first funds will be credited to the owner's account no later than the end of the third month after receiving the documents.
Note that a veteran will be able to receive a pension not only to a bank account, but also to a post office or to hands through a postman. It all depends only on the wishes of the citizen. So, it will be convenient for one pensioner to receive payments on a bank card, for another - at the cash desk of the post office.
