In Oryol, free groceries (cereals, canned food and sugar) are delivered to senior citizens over 65 years of age. You can apply for the kit by calling the “We Are Together” hotline for targeted support for senior citizens at 88002021411.

Who is eligible for the food package and what does it include?

On behalf of Governor Andrei Vorobyov, low-income and lonely pensioners from the Moscow region are provided with targeted social assistance. In each district of the Moscow region, a team of volunteers has been organized that provides pensioners with food packages of essential goods - cereals, flour, tea and canned foods.

On the Internet and on TV, we all hear about the food package that began to be delivered to homes due to the coronavirus pandemic and general isolation. But to whom should it be brought? In addition, many are interested in the question: where to turn for help. We tried to understand this situation and answer, if not all, but most of the questions.

How to use a social certificate

The innovations concern 9 new products – refrigerators, stoves, vacuum cleaners and more. The certificate determines points that are equivalent to rubles. The pensioner presents documents in the store when making a purchase.

The idea is to provide additional targeted funds to low-income pensioners to purchase essential goods, mainly food. To do this, a pensioner can receive a special card from the social security authorities, where money (or points) will be credited, but it will not be possible to cash them out. These funds can be spent in grocery stores that will be participants in the program (most likely such as Pyaterochka, Magnit, Perekrestok, etc.).

In addition to a certificate for food products, residents of the capital can obtain a social certificate for durable goods and children's products. The social certificate allows citizens in need to purchase 9 types of goods: televisions, refrigerators, laptops, gas ovens, vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens, electric kettles.

The main difficulty is to separate people who are really in need from those who simply work unofficially, that is, those who have shadow income. To get a card, you will need to collect a number of documents and submit them to the social security authorities at your place of residence.

In the new year, all pensioners who live in Moscow can receive such documents. Disabled people of all groups who live in the capital on a permanent basis can also receive a certificate for use in various retail outlets. Residents of Moscow who are in a difficult life situation can count on receiving a special document. In 2021, not only Moscow pensioners, but also low-income families will receive certificates.

This type of support is provided to citizens who have taken care of the burial of a deceased Muscovite. Both relatives and third parties can apply for it. There is only one criterion - the organization of the person’s burial. The capital has established several levels of assistance related to the categories of the deceased:

provision of food ;
purchase of technical rehabilitation equipment for disabled people (wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, anti-decubitus mattresses, exercise equipment, etc.);
provision of durable goods (household appliances) to preferential categories of citizens;
purchasing children's goods for families in difficult financial situations.

Social packages will help retired people who find it difficult to maintain their previous standard of living. Last year will be remembered for many successful social projects. These include food certificates for pensioners in Moscow. Next year, the fight against the economic crisis will continue, and the old systems that have shown their effectiveness will not be changed.

At the moment, eighty percent of citizens have already applied for food certificates, which once again proves that the Russian government is moving in the right direction, improving the financial and social condition of residents.

The main type of pension that almost all Russian pensioners receive is old-age insurance pensions.

. In other words, these pensions:

calculated taking into account contributions to compulsory pension insurance (until 2001, the system was slightly different);
are due to those who have reached a certain age (in 2021 these are women born in 1965 and men born in 1960).

The insurance nature of pensions means that the more a person (and his employer) contributed to the Pension Fund, the higher his pension.

Back in 1992

, when the country was having difficulty recovering from the events of the past collapse of the USSR, money was quickly depreciating (several times a year), Moscow pensioners were surprised by Mayor Yuri Luzhkov - in such a difficult time they received special allowances, which were then called “Luzhkov’s”. The amounts, of course, were not gigantic - but the surcharge distinguished the capital from the regions.

In essence, Muscovites were paid up to a higher minimum pension

- but provided that the pension recipient had lived in the capital for at least 10 years (and at that time almost all Moscow pensioners met such conditions).

Payments have existed all these years - for example, in 2010 the cost of living in Moscow was 5124

ruble, but the city's social standard was twice as high - and residents of the capital received a minimum of
10,275
rubles per month. Then every year the amount only grew. Over the past 10 years, Moscow has spent 1.1 trillion rubles on additional payments to pensions - this is the equivalent of 5% of the annual budget of all of Russia.

The city social standard (CSS) still exists, its amount in 2021 is 20,222 rubles

, and on average, a Moscow pensioner receives an additional payment of 6,313 rubles from the city - this is approximately 2/3 of the minimum pension in most regions of Russia. In other words, every Moscow pensioner who has lived in the capital for 10 years or more, and whose pension is below 20,222 rubles, will receive exactly this amount.

However, there are a few exceptions. So, they cannot apply for the GSS

the following categories of pensioners:

do not receive a pension in Moscow or are not registered at their place of residence in Moscow. That is, registration (registration) is also necessary, and it is the Moscow division of the Pension Fund of Russia that assigns the pension;
live outside Russia (six months or more). This condition applies regardless of whether the pensioner has been discharged from his place of residence;
live in social service organizations around the clock, orphans are supported by the state in boarding homes, etc.;
those under compulsory treatment, in the penitentiary authorities, etc.

Everyone who has lived in Moscow for less than 10 years or falls into one of the listed categories receives a pension, taking into account an additional payment up to the subsistence level

.
It is 13,496
rubles per month.

What else distinguishes the Moscow pre-GSS payment is that working pensioners can also apply for it. True, not everyone - these are some beneficiaries (veterans, disabled people of groups I-II, “Chernobyl victims”), as well as those who work in certain positions such as cloakroom attendants, concierges, etc. That is, the city is ready to pay pensions up to the city minimum for those who work in low-paid jobs.

In addition, payments have been introduced in Moscow for almost all categories of federal beneficiaries

– they receive several thousand rubles from the city in addition to the EDV from the state. But these are already special cases - the average pensioner in Moscow receives only a pension around the State Social Insurance Fund.

Federal and regional social supplements to pensions are assigned automatically: the Pension Fund knows how much a person receives and what the cost of living is in the region, and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation tracks the fact of employment using employers’ reports.

In the case of Moscow surcharges, everything is a little more complicated - they work on a declarative basis

. That is, even after living in Moscow for 10 years, a pensioner with a low pension will not automatically begin to receive an additional payment of up to 20,222 rubles per month; for this you need to apply.

In addition to the application and passport, you need to collect an impressive package of documents:

if there is no registration stamp in the passport, then a document confirming registration in Moscow at the place of residence or registration;
if the passport shows that the person lived in Moscow for less than 10 years, but this is not the case - documents confirming the period of registration in Moscow;
for those who receive a pension not from the Pension Fund - a certificate of the type and amount of the pension;
documents regarding employment - a document confirming the termination of employment, or a work book, an agreement indicating the period of work, etc., including information on insurance premiums;
other documents (for example, if it is a survivor's pension - a death certificate and a certificate of relationship with the deceased).

In other words, in order to apply for a Moscow supplement to a pension, it is necessary to document that the applicant has the right to it.

Thus, if a pensioner has just moved to Moscow

, in the next 10 years his minimum pension will be tied to the subsistence level, which is now not very high - less than 13.5 thousand rubles.

What happens if a person actually lived in Moscow, but was registered in another region?

? Alas, judicial practice leaves no exceptions: the condition for receiving additional payments is residence in Moscow with permanent registration for at least 10 years. The courts reject all claims filed against the Moscow social security authorities on this issue (although the applicants claim that they have lived in the capital for much longer than 10 years, and even present documents).

Option with fictitious registration

at the place of residence is also not suitable - firstly, the owner of the property signs a document where he is threatened with criminal liability for such actions. And secondly, fictitious registration will be needed for 10 years, and only then will a person have the right to an additional payment to the State Social Insurance Fund.

The list of beneficiaries who will be able to receive social assistance using electronic certificates was recently expanded by the Moscow government. Now, in addition to veterans of the Great Patriotic War, the service will be available to elderly citizens, disabled people and families with disabled children.

“I gave instructions to expand the possibilities of purchasing things for the groups to whom we provide targeted social assistance through electronic social certificates - so that they themselves can buy and choose these things, and not we impose them on them and give them in kind. The service has shown its relevance, and a number of categories have already tried electronic services for receiving services, the list and categories are being expanded,” said the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin .

A social certificate is an electronic coupon for a certain number of points. They can only be used with the help of a Muscovite’s social card with specific permission from the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation. Points added to the card are written off in ruble equivalent (1 point = 1 ruble) at retail outlets in Moscow that participate in certain social programs of the capital. Such enterprises include:

provision of food ;
purchase of technical rehabilitation equipment for disabled people (wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, anti-decubitus mattresses, exercise equipment, etc.);
provision of durable goods (household appliances) to preferential categories of citizens;
purchasing children's goods for families in difficult financial situations.

A social certificate is a form of targeted assistance to those in need . That is, it is not allocated to all preferential categories of citizens, but specifically to those who really need it at a given time.

To issue a social certificate for durable goods, children's goods and food, citizens need to follow a certain algorithm of actions:

A visit to the social security service at your place of residence (appointment days and hours can be checked on the website of the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of Moscow or by phone).
Writing an application for the issuance of a social certificate.

Points added to the card are written off in ruble equivalent (1 point = 1 ruble) at retail outlets in Moscow that participate in certain social programs of the capital. To know,

In the new year 2021, pensioners are given the opportunity to avoid paying some taxes. However, to receive this benefit, you must send an application to the tax office at the place of registration, otherwise the right to the benefit will not be exercised. Retirees may not pay taxes on real estate they own. This must be confirmed by ownership documents. But this benefit has limitations: you can not pay tax on only one object of each type of property.

When a citizen is over 60 years old, he can count on such benefits as free vaccinations against seasonal diseases. To receive this benefit, you need to contact the general practitioner at your address and express your desire to receive the vaccine.

What if, on the contrary, I don’t want to get vaccinated? Can vaccination be forced? We have already found out in the article Is forced vaccination legal?

An electronic coupon recorded on a Muscovite’s card, which can be used to pay for certain goods in stores participating in the social program. Social certificate points are equivalent to rubles: 1 point = 1 ruble; it cannot be exchanged for cash. Upon expiration of the validity period, the certificate “burns out”.

a passport or other document that allows you to legally identify the identity of the applicant;
a valid Muscovite social card;
document confirming need. In practice, according to numerous statements and reviews of program participants, the pension of a citizen on well-deserved retirement should not exceed 24,600 rubles. That is, in fact, pensioners need to provide an extract on the amount of pension benefits compiled by the Pension Fund.

Other regions can also benefit from the capital’s experience and develop their own programs. So far, the social electronic certificate, which is used to pay for groceries, is used only in the capital. For example, pensioners in St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg) cannot get 2 thousand for food this way.

Payments to pensioners of 2 thousand for food in Moscow are carried out on the basis of a regional legislative act - City Government Decree No. 185-PP dated 04/02/2021. It regulates the procedure and conditions for providing food assistance to citizens (not only pensioners) who are in a difficult situation using an electronic social certificate.

Benefits for Moscow pensioners: complete list

Benefits for Moscow pensioners are provided from both the federal and regional budgets. The government provides several types of support to citizens - from free medicines and discounts on utilities to various benefits and housing for former military personnel.

The document is submitted through the multifunctional center no later than December 31 of the year from which the benefit applies.

In turn, the procedure for assigning other payments (additional payments) to the pension - monthly compensation and one-time payments made at the expense of the Moscow budget is regulated by the Moscow Government Resolution No. 1005-PP dated November 27, 2007 “On approval of the Regulations on the appointment and payment of monthly compensation payments (additional payments) to pensions and one-time payments made from the budget of the city of Moscow" (hereinafter referred to as Regulation No. 1005-PP). The document divides surcharges for pensioners permanently residing or staying in the capital into several groups:

In many ways, Moscow pensioners are better off than residents of the regions. They have a higher minimum pension and more various additional payments. But this does not apply to transport taxes. If local authorities in various regions have reduced payments for car ownership by 50%, then Moscow motorists pay the tax in full without any concessions.

Moscow pensioners enjoy all federal and regional benefits. The complete list needs to be updated periodically, as changes are possible. You should know that Muscovites' expenses for utilities should not exceed 10% of their total income. Elderly people, if they pay more, can apply for a subsidy and their expenses will be reimbursed.
