Who are young professionals?

The term young specialist is found in Art. 70 of the Labor Code. This document does not prescribe all the characteristics of such a citizen. Who belongs to this category is determined by regional norms. According to them, a young specialist must be:

up to 30-35 years of age depending on the region and specialty;
received a full-time education at a university/secondary educational institution with state accreditation at a budgetary department;

The status of a young specialist is valid for three years, but can be extended under the following conditions:

admission to postgraduate study and preparation for defending a dissertation;
maternity leave;
Military service;
advanced training in another location or abroad.

The status is extended for the number of years devoted to the above activities. In action, this means that a 40-year-old woman who has been on maternity leave for a child under 3 years of age twice in a row can participate in the program.

List of documents required to participate in the program

A former graduate, and now an employee of a government organization, can start working with a rural housing program by contacting the housing committee in his constituent entity of the Russian Federation. If living conditions do not meet the established standards, then it is necessary to obtain a document that will confirm the need to improve conditions. When this document is ready, you can apply for a subsidy. To do this, submit the following documents:

passports of all family members, for children under 14 years of age - birth certificates;
a document confirming completion of higher or secondary education (the educational institution must be accredited by the state);

a bank statement stating that the applicant has 30% of the amount of the cost of housing.

Note!
In some regions, the list of required documents may be longer. It is being expanded based on regional regulations.

Deadlines for processing the appeal and making a decision

Based on the submitted documents, local self-government bodies create lists of program participants. The application must be reviewed within two months. When this period expires, the applicant is sent an official response stating that he is now in line to receive a subsidy.

In regions, the timing of receiving subsidies may vary. The more applicants, the longer the documents will be considered. Before September 1 of this year, village administrations undertake to provide lists to executive authorities. The size and number of subsidies are determined taking into account the number of applicants. Young professionals receive notification of a decision on their issue from executive authorities.

The amount of subsidies that will be sent to the regions and specific localities becomes known after November 1, since it is by this time that the annual budget is approved. The distribution of amounts by the Ministry of Agriculture is influenced by such factors as:

Additional terms and options

The allocation of funds for the purchase of housing is not free of charge. This is a preferential loan, which is issued for 10 years with an interest rate of 5%. According to legislators, this form of issuing money should stimulate the desire to work among young professionals. It also protects the state from the development of dependency sentiment among citizens.

Note!
Loans can be issued up to 70% of the cost of housing. What it is is calculated in each locality separately. The debt is repaid in annuity payments, that is, divided into equal parts and carried out from each salary of a young specialist for ten years.

As in the case of mortgage lending, a young specialist must have a down payment amount. By law, it must be at least 30% of the cost of housing in a particular locality. The state pays the remaining cost. If a young specialist moves to a rural area without savings, he still has a chance to receive this subsidy. To do this, he needs to apply for participation in the program.

If approved, the applicant is given 18 months to accumulate the required amount, that is, 30% of the cost of housing.
