What benefits and subsidies can you apply for?

Persons who have lost their breadwinner can receive social benefits aimed at ensuring their normal life and improving their financial situation. In addition to the pension, which is paid to all people who find themselves in such a difficult situation, at the legislative level there is an opportunity to receive other compensations and benefits:

1. If the dependent has previously received a pension, he is entitled to an allowance of 15 thousand rubles;
2. Free travel on any type of public transport;
3. Benefits for survivors include the opportunity to receive 100% discounts on meals at school, as well as the opportunity for future students to receive additional assistance during admission to the university and during subsequent studies (reduced ticket price);
4. Discount on payment of rent, utilities in the amount of half the cost of payments;
5. Free tickets to theaters, cinemas or exhibitions;
6. Free medical care;
7. Acquisition medicines with discount. All medicines intended for the treatment of a child under 3 years of age should be issued free of charge (upon presentation of a prescription from the attending physician);
8. Children under the age of 2 have the right to eat free of charge in the dairy kitchen.

Pension

The law also provides for a rule that such citizens are paid a state pension for the loss of a breadwinner. You may be eligible for this additional support:

1. Family members of military personnel who have lost their breadwinner during the performance of their duties;
2. Loss of a breadwinner during radioactive tests, accidents. The same pension is due to family members if, during such events, one of the parents received radiation sickness;
3. The death of a parent if he worked as a researcher, tester, astronaut

Such payments are made in respect of children who, due to their age, cannot independently earn an income. But if the son or daughter of the deceased at the age of eighteen finds a job, the right to receive state benefits ceases.

In order to receive benefits for the wife of the deceased, who is entering into a new marriage, it is necessary that an application for state assistance be submitted before registering a new relationship with the registry office.

How to arrange everything

Registration of benefits after the loss of a breadwinner is possible in Pension Fund Russian Federation at the place of residence of the deceased. By law, family members who have lost their breadwinner must apply in person. The interests of a minor child or an incapacitated citizen (should be recognized by the court) may be represented by other relatives.

To qualify for such social support measures, interested persons must submit the following documents:

1. Applications from all family members;
2. Death certificate;
3. SNILS;
4. Documents that confirm the existence of family relations (birth certificate of children, certificate from the registry office on marriage registration);
5. Documents confirming the adoption of a child;
6. The work book of the deceased;
7. Bank account details to which the money will be transferred cash.

After reviewing all the submitted documents, the employee of the state fund decides on the need to pay a pension, as well as providing applicants with a number of other benefits that are due in this case.

All funds paid in case of loss of a breadwinner are accrued from the next month after the applicant submits all the necessary documents.

Regional features

Depending on the level of financial security in the regions, measures of social support for the loss of a breadwinner for the family of the deceased may vary. For example, in Moscow, the opportunity has been established for such families to use free of charge not only urban public transport, but also suburban buses.

In some regions, a parent who has lost a breadwinner is given the opportunity to send their child to kindergarten out of turn in order to return to work earlier and start providing for themselves.
