Let us recall that on January 21, 2021, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin signed another Decree No. 3-UM, which states that until the epidemiological situation significantly improves, the home regime will remain in place for Muscovites over 65 years of age and citizens suffering from chronic diseases.

Accordingly, social cards for Moscow residents over 65 years old will also not be valid until this time, with some exceptions. Thus, according to the Izvestia newspaper, the social cards of Muscovites who are not at risk have already been unblocked. “Beneficiaries who are not included in the risk group, but their social cards were blocked by mistake, can contact the Moscow Social Register hotline.

Also, after being vaccinated against Covid-19, the social cards of older Muscovites and citizens suffering from chronic diseases will be unblocked, and they will again be able to enjoy free travel on public transport. This was reported by the press service of the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development in its Telegram channel,” the publication writes.

Regional surcharges

From the editor! In Moscow, there is a rule according to which utility costs cannot exceed 10% of income. Therefore, all Muscovites, including pensioners, can apply for a subsidy using this principle. But in this case, they will calculate not only the amount of the pension, but also all additional payments, as well as funds received by other family members living with the elderly person. In addition, the benefit is provided within the established spending standards.

1. Cases when a person who is a representative of a person in need of a discount card does not have a document confirming this representation.
2. Cases when the applicant is not on the list of citizens in need of state financial support.

4. There are corrections and errors in the application of the person in need, which is extremely unacceptable.
5. The validity period of these documents has expired.

The validity period of the new CM is 5 years. After this, it must be replaced or extended automatically. In the second case, you won’t have to go to the MFC. Just use it in transport and pay the fare. After a few minutes, the card counter will be updated and it can be used again.

Where and how can I activate my card?

Benefits for pensioners in the Moscow region in 2021

But, unfortunately, travel for pensioners of the Moscow region who do not belong to preferential categories (in addition to their pension status) is not provided, as is directly stated on the official website of the Moscow Mayor. That is, in order to travel for free in Moscow using a Moscow Region resident’s social card, you need to belong to one of the following categories:

Currently, a social travel card costs 455 rubles per month—beneficiaries will need to top up their transport cards monthly with the same amount, and then they will be able to travel around the city on trolleybuses and buses with the letter “C” without restrictions.

Yuri Ryabikov explained that the cards are designed to last for two years, but in practice they can last almost five times longer. They are not subject to demagnetization; the only thing that can harm them is mechanical impact:

NO NEED TO BREAK TRANSPORT CARDS

Cards will be issued free of charge. They will be personal - with photographs of the owners, which can be taken at the place of registration. If the travel document is issued by proxy, the photo can be provided on a flash drive. To obtain a card, you need the same documents as for issuing a social travel card - you do not need to bring any other papers:
