Survivor's pension in the city of Social survivor's pension

Lose loved one- hard hit. Unfortunately, quite a lot of families and couples are faced with this situation. Even worse, if the deceased was the only one in the family who was able to feed her.

To support such families who have lost their breadwinner, the government has developed a special type of social payment. This payment is called survivor's pension. The unofficial name of this payment is also survivor's benefit.

This article will tell you about how a family can receive this payment, what documents will be required and where to apply to receive a pension.

Who can get a survivor's pension?

To receive this benefit, it is not enough that no one else in the family is employed. It is necessary that no one in the family is able to work - for example, they are disabled or underage.

So, who is eligible to receive benefits for the loss of a family member? This pension is provided for families, each member of which is recognized as disabled. The following categories of people can be classified as disabled:

1. Disabled persons whose illness leads to incapacity for work. At the same time, a disabled person must be officially registered, since a document on disability will be required when applying for a pension.
2. People who have reached retirement age. In Russia, citizens old age are recognized by law as disabled and receive payments from the state without having to work. The loss of a younger family member does not restore their ability to work, so they are also recognized as a privileged category.
3. Minor family members are also recognized as disabled at the legislative level. Thus, receiving a pension is possible until the eldest child reaches the age of majority, that is, eighteen years.
4. Adult children who are studying full-time in higher educational institutions: universities, institutes, as well as in institutions of secondary vocational education. These citizens are recognized as disabled before graduation. Such a policy, according to the government's calculations, should lead to an increase in the level of education in the country.
5. Relatives of the deceased who care for the child until the age of eight. Raising children is a very complex and responsible process, so the government provides that the child's educator will not need to be distracted by work.

Thus, in order to receive this payment, each family member must meet the above requirements. If indeed every person in the family cannot be recognized as able-bodied, then citizens have the right to apply for a survivor's pension. To do this, you will need to collect a package of documents, which we will discuss in one of the following sections of the article.
