Benefits for pensioners on the occasion of the loss of a breadwinner. Survivor benefits

A survivor's pension is a monetary compensation for the child of the income of the deceased father or mother. Such compensation, of course, is partial, issued approximately 50% of the confirmed income level of the deceased parent. If there are two or more children in the family, compensation is paid in the amount of the full salary of the breadwinner.

Survivor's pension application

A survivor's pension can be obtained from the Pension Fund, for which it is necessary to provide a certificate of death of a parent, a birth certificate of all minor children, passports of all adult family members, a work book of the deceased, a certificate from his past job and a certificate of his income for the last 60 months , military ID, if available. The survivor's pension can be received from the time of the death of the father or mother, it will be paid to the child when he reaches 18 or 23 years old if he continues to study at the secondary or higher educational institution. In addition, if a child who has lost one of the parents is not yet 18 years old, he is entitled to a social supplement to his pension. Usually, part of the funds for this is allocated from the federal budget, and part is paid extra from the regional.

Fringe benefits

In addition to cash payments, a child left without the care of one of the parents is entitled to some social benefits. However, the availability of many of them depends on the region of residence. While the child receives a survivor's pension, he also has the right to travel free of charge in public transport in his city, without any additional payments to receive all the necessary textbooks in his educational institution, to attend some cultural events, such as theatrical performances, performances, museum exhibitions.

He can count on free two meals a day at school. However, this benefit is very controversial and far from being implemented in all educational institutions, since usually free school meals are provided only to the poor and large families.

Applicants who have lost their parents enter the university on preferential terms. If the child is still small, up to 2 years of age he should be provided with food in a dairy kitchen, and up to 3 years he should be provided with all the necessary medicines that the doctor writes out on prescription. In addition, such families are provided with discounts on utility bills. You need to find out about all benefits at the Department of Social Protection of a particular region, since social assistance can vary greatly, depending on the place of residence of a person and the laws adopted there.

Where to go

To apply for a survivor's benefit, write an application for the appointment of you or a disabled relative, if you are his legal representative, a pension and choose one of the options:

• go to Pension Fund RF (PFR);
• send a letter with an application to the FIU by mail;
• go with the application to the multifunctional center;
• send an application through the personal account of the PFR website (www.pfrf.ru), having previously registered on the website www.gosuslugi.ru.

Documents for registration

Please bring with your application:

• passport;
• certificate of compulsory pension insurance (SNILS);
• death certificate;
• documents indicating kinship with the breadwinner;
• documents confirming the insurance experience of the deceased;
• documents indicating other circumstances for which a pension is assigned, for example, a certificate of full-time study or a certificate of disability.

What determines the amount of payments and a fixed rate

The amount of the survivor's insurance pension depends on the length of service of the deceased. The higher it is, the higher the pension will be.

Calculation formula:

SPspk = IPK × SPK,

• IPC - individual pension coefficient of the breadwinner, that is, the amount of points depending on the hours worked;
• SPC - the cost of the pension coefficient on the day the pension is awarded, that is, the cost of one point;
• SPSPK - insurance pension.

If at the time of assigning a pension to a child, brother, sister or grandson, not a single parent is left, then the mother's IPC coefficient is added to the father's IPC coefficient.

If the sole breadwinner of a child, brother, sister or grandchild was a single mother, then the IPC coefficient is doubled.

If the breadwinner has already received insurance pension by age or disability, then family members can choose a different formula for calculations:
SPspk = IPKu / KN × SPK,

• IPCu - individual pension coefficient of the breadwinner, taking into account which the amount of insurance payment for old age or insurance for disability on the day of death was calculated;
• KN - the number of disabled members of the breadwinner's family on the day of the assignment of a loss pension;
• SPK - the value of the pension coefficient on the day the payments are made.

Regardless of the length of service and the number of points earned, the state adds a fixed payment to the pension calculated according to the formula.

The amount of the fixed payment will not be indexed on February 1 of each year. Federal Law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018 establishes the exact amount of payments for each year from 2019 to 2024.

Payment can be increased:

• twice if the children were left without both parents or were brought up by a single mother;
• by the district coefficient, if the family lives in the regions of the Far North and areas equated to them. But, if the family decides to leave the area where such a coefficient exists, then the pension will be paid in the standard amount, and vice versa: if the family moves to such an area, it will be increased.

Social pension

A social pension will be assigned to children permanently residing in Russia if:

• the breadwinner did not officially work for a single day;
• death was due to a crime committed by his child.

Paid:

• children under 18 if they are not working;

Calculation example:

Sergey Timofeevich served 25 years and rose to the rank of head of a department at the district level and the rank of "colonel" when he died from an accident not related to the performance of official duties. He left an unemployed wife who is raising his two children: three and twelve years old.

From the example we get:

• the official salary of the head of the department is 16,500 rubles;
• the salary for the special rank of "colonel" is 13,000 rubles
• the percentage bonus for 25 years of service is 30% and is calculated as: (official salary + salary for a special rank) * 30%. For example, we get: (16500 + 13000) * 30% = 8850 rubles;
• the amount of allowance for calculating pensions from January 1, 2019 is 72,23% . From October 1, 2019, the size changes and will be 73,68% on the basis of the Federal Law of December 11, 2018 N 460-FZ.
• Since Sergei Timofeevich died due to an accident, his family members will receive a pension in the amount of 40% of the allowance.

(16500 + 13000 + 8850) × 72.23% × 40% = 11044 rubles

Payment will be made:

• for two children, until they turn 18 or 23 years old, if they study full-time at an educational institution;
