In the same amount, pensions are assigned, regardless of the cause of death of the breadwinner, to family members of deceased pensioners who were war invalids on the day of death, as well as to orphans and persons from among orphans;

The minimum amount of the survivor's pension, assigned to family members of military personnel, persons in command and enlisted personnel, per each disabled family member cannot be lower than:

When calculating pensions for family members of servicemen of fixed-term military service, servicemen who served under a contract (except for servicemen of officers), persons of junior commanding and enlisted personnel - 150%, and for family members of servicemen of officers, persons of middle, senior and senior commanding staff - 180% of the minimum old-age pension;

When calculating pensions for family members of deceased servicemen, officers and rank and file - 100% of the minimum age pension.

For orphans and persons from among orphans, the pension for each child may not be less than two times the minimum old-age pension.

To the survivor's pension, a care allowance is established:

Disabled people of group I - 100% minimum size retirement pensions;

Pensioners who have reached the age of 80, disabled children under the age of 18 and disabled people from childhood of group II, as well as single pensioners who need constant outside assistance at the conclusion of the Medical Rehabilitation Expert Commission (MREC) or the Medical Consultative Commission (VKK ), - 50% of the minimum old-age pension.

If you are entitled to a care allowance on several grounds, the allowance is calculated on one of the specified grounds.

The survivor's pension is established for the entire period during which a family member of the deceased is considered disabled, and for family members who have reached retirement age - for life.

A survivor's pension is assigned to each disabled family member who is entitled to a pension. At the request of family members, they can be assigned one general pension.

If a change occurs in the composition of a family to which a survivor's pension was granted, as a result of which individual members of the family or the family as a whole lose the right to a pension, the recalculation of the pension or the termination of its payment shall be made from the first day of the month following that month, in which the change has taken place.

Family members who are disabled are subject to the rules on the procedure and terms for establishing disability and paying a pension during breaks in the examination at the medical and rehabilitation expert commission (MREK).

survivor's pension

survivor's pension- This is a cash benefit paid to provide material support to dependents in the event of the loss of a person who is obliged to provide them financially. As a rule, we are talking about the loss of close relatives (parents, spouses) or guardians.

The concept of the breadwinner in the legislation is not specifically defined. It means a person who has dependent family members who are incapacitated and who are supported by him or receive assistance from him, which serves as their main and permanent source of livelihood.

A prerequisite for receiving a survivor's pension in the Republic of Belarus is the recipient's incapacity for work.

For each member of the family of the deceased, a pension is assigned for the period of his incapacity for work.

According to the Law of the Republic of Belarus "On pension provision”, Article 35, the basis for granting a survivor's pension is the fact of the death of a person who was dependent on the future recipients of this pension.

The following are entitled to receive a pension:

children, including adopted children, up to 18 years old, and if they receive full-time education - up to 23 years old;
brothers, sisters, grandchildren who became disabled before the age of 18, if they do not have able-bodied parents or guardians, and do not receive benefits from them;
parents and spouses of retirement age or recognized as disabled who were dependent on the deceased;
parents and spouses of the deceased, who were not his dependents, but who lost their source of livelihood;
non-working relatives of the deceased who care for his children and other dependents under the age of eight;
grandparents, in the absence of other persons obliged to provide them financially;
disabled stepfathers and stepmothers, if they raised the deceased for at least five years.

All legislative norms relating to the deceased also apply to dependents of the missing, in cases specified by law.

There are two types of survivor's pension: labor - calculated depending on the amount seniority and income of the breadwinner; and social - representing in their content, rather an act of charity than receiving a well-deserved reward for past work.

According to Article 38 of the Law “On Pensions”, each disabled member of his family has the right to a survivor's pension in the amount of 40% of the average monthly salary of the breadwinner, but not less than the minimum old-age pension.

In the event of the loss of the other parent, the amount of the pension for each child is 50% of their earnings, but not less than twice the amount of the minimum retirement pension.

The survivor's pension, assigned to a widow (widower), is preserved even upon entering into a new marriage.

The principles for calculating the labor pension for the loss of the breadwinner correspond to the principles for calculating the labor pension for old age or disability. The length of service is counted in the same way as when calculating a disability pension.

Social pensions are assigned in the form of a specific amount, depending on the category of the recipient and without regard to the past income of the breadwinner. The purpose of the social pension for the loss of a breadwinner is to prevent the plight of orphans.

As statistical information, we can consider the dynamics of changes in the size of the survivor's pension in Minsk in 2016-2017.

The pension system of residents of Belarus

Every year there are fewer able-bodied people in Belarus, so since 2016 the pension system of Belarus has changed. The main changes that have affected all pensioners are an increase in the length of service and the retirement age. Read more about all the innovations in the pension system of Belarus in this material.

Conditions for the formation of a pension in Belarus

In order to receive a pension, a citizen of Belarus must fulfill a number of conditions, namely:

Reaching the appropriate age. Until 2022, the age of pensioners will gradually increase to such indicators as: men - 63, women - 58 years. Read more in the article age of pensioners in Belarus.
Minimum experience- 10 years (for the disabled category - 5 years). To assign pension contributions, a man must have a total experience of 25 years (women - 20 years). Persons who do not have a minimum experience, receive a social pension.
permanent residence on the territory of the country and the presence of Belarusian citizenship.

Source pension payments Belarus - Fund for Social Protection of the Population. The pension is paid directly from the republican budget.

The amount of pension contributions is equal to 55% of the salary for the last year of labor activity. For other periods, 1% is added to the deductions.

Pension payments have several subspecies, namely:

According to age criteria- standard payments, which are assigned in accordance with the specified conditions.
Sometimes citizens can arrange pension payments in more early dates. For example, employees of harmful, transport, textile and other heavy industries.
Seniority- this list of specialties includes employees of such areas as: medical institutions; education; sport; creative sphere; aviation and other flying units.
Disability- when assigning disability pension payments, a citizen is required to have a certain length of service, namely: persons under 23 years of age are required to work for at least one year; 23-26 years old - 2 years of experience; 26-31 years - 3 years and so on in ascending order.
Special merit- these payments are regulated by the Council of Ministers.
Loss of a survivor- payments due to persons who are recognized as dependents.

Will there be an accumulative part?

When switching to a funded pension system, the majority of Belarusians will be able to independently form a part of pension payments.

But in practice, the authorities have not yet sought to introduce an innovation called " funded pension». Negative experience Russian pension system to introduce the funded part of pension contributions led to a number of conclusions. Therefore, in 2017, the introduction of a mandatory funded element in Belarus is not planned.

Pension payments are indexed annually in accordance with the Decree of the President!

But the authorities do not deny the fact that a voluntary pension insurance system will soon be introduced, which will allow young people to independently replenish their future pension.

disability pension

Disability is established by the Medical Rehabilitation Expert Commission (MREC for short).

To assign pension payments, a citizen must do the following:

Visit to MREC. MREC establishes a disease that can limit performance. In addition, commission members are required to analyze the causes of physical violations.
Based on the results of the studied documentation, the commission determines the group and the period for passing the secondary examination.

When assigning a lifetime disability, re-passing the MREC is not required.

Appeal to the social security authorities. In addition to the medical report received from the commission, a citizen must provide documentation that confirms the cause of the disease, as well as: passport data; experience documents; reference on the size of the salary part.
When calculating pension payments, specialists from social security authorities take into account the total length of service. For example, citizens who are under the age of 23 must "acquire" experience not less than a year.
faces, disabled due to an occupational disease(or injury), receive pension contributions regardless of the period of labor activity. In addition, seniority is not taken into account at the age of less than 20 years.
Amount of pension payments varies as follows:
- 1st group - 75% of the average salary;
- 2nd group - 65%;
- 3rd group - 40%.
In the absence of experience, disabled people receive social payments the following sizes:
- Group 1 - 150% of the minimum retirement pension;
- 2nd group - 100%;
- 3rd group - 50%.
- In addition to pension payments, persons with disabilities may receive various privileges. For example, disabled people of groups 1 and 2 have the right to:
  1. June– the increase in pension will be approximately 15%.
  2. September- the increase in pension contributions will be about 8%.

The survivor's pension is a monetary state aid disabled citizens of Belarus who have lost a loved one who supported them. There is no strict definition for the term “breadwinner” in the legislation. Usually they are considered close people who supported the disabled financially, if the assistance was the main or constant source of income for the dependent. Most often, such a person is a parent, adult child, guardian, spouse.

Disability is an indispensable condition for obtaining a pension. The allowance can only be received during the period of incapacity for work. The most common basis for assistance is the recorded death of a breadwinner who supported a family member who was unable to work. Those dependents whose breadwinner goes missing are also eligible to receive benefits. The fact of such absence must also be officially confirmed.

If one person supported several disabled relatives, then a pension is assigned to everyone, and if desired, relatives can receive one general payment. The deceased had to have a certain work experience, because the amount of assistance directly depends on his salary. If required seniority No, instead of a survivor's benefit, a social pension is paid.

Disability and the right to a pension

The law calls incapable family members:

children under the age of majority, including adopted children;
student children aged 18-23;
grandchildren, granddaughters, brothers, sisters under 18 without parents able to work;
grandchildren, granddaughters, brothers, sisters aged 18 and older who received a disability before coming of age, without able-bodied parents;
minor stepdaughters and stepsons who do not receive alimony from their parents;
adult stepdaughters and stepchildren without alimony who received disability before adulthood;
spouses, parents, adoptive parents - retired or disabled. When registering the next marriage, the benefit for the loss of the breadwinner-spouse is preserved;
stepfathers and stepmothers, disabled people or pensioners who raised a child for at least five years;
grandparents who do not have other people supporting them;

The survivor's benefit is also issued to parents and spouses who were not supported by the deceased or missing, but who have lost their source of income. Those for whom financial assistance can also switch to it loved one was an important income, and who at the same time received other state financial assistance.

Minor dependents do not lose the right to receive benefits upon subsequent adoption.

Required documents

Sometimes, in order to apply for benefits, it is required to establish the fact of being on maintenance and other circumstances. This can be done by a special commission, a court, and for residents of rural areas - the local Council of Deputies.

The amount of the survivor's pension

If a dependent child has lost the second parent, then he is issued a pension in the amount of half the average monthly salary of the deceased. In this case, the amount cannot be less than two minimum pensions according to the age.

If the source of income of the deceased was not a salary, but labor pension, then assistance to his dependents is calculated from the length of service for which the deceased was given a pension. This rule does not apply if the breadwinner himself received survivors' benefit.

The law provides for the moments when it is possible to issue an allowance:

Disability of the first group. The bonus is the minimum wage.
Childhood disability of the second group, disability in children under 18 years old, reaching 80 years old, constant need for someone else's help. In the latter case, the conclusion of the medical commission is required. The allowance for these categories is half of the minimum labor pension.

A dependent will not be able to claim two of these allowances at the same time, even if there are grounds for both. The allowance will be charged only on one of the grounds.

If the breadwinner has not gained the necessary work experience, then his dependents are assigned the so-called social pension. It makes up 85% of the subsistence minimum budget. As of August 1, 2018, this minimum was 213.67 rubles, that is, the allowance is 181.61 rubles.

The survivor benefit in Belarus is a good help for those who have lost a loved one, but cannot provide for themselves.
