Subsidies for pensioners living alone

How to apply for a subsidy for a pensioner?

Pensioners can only receive subsidies in certain situations by meeting the following list of criteria:

citizenship of the Russian Federation;
registration at the place of residence in the house for which they are applying for a subsidy, if it concerns the housing aspect;
no debts to housing and communal services;
the expenses of a family or a pensioner living alone exceed the regional norm.

Each region has its own indicators that allow a family or person to be recognized as low-income . In terms of expenses - if you have to pay 15-25 percent of the total budget for housing and communal services, depending on the region, you can get a subsidy for rent.

The amount of income is another significant indicator . At what pension is a person entitled to various subsidies? If a pensioner has a subsistence level below the minimum level, he is automatically recognized as low-income and also entitled to receive subsidies.

Important! If a pensioner has a dependent grandson who cannot work due to full-time study at a university, the pensioner is provided with up to 5,000 rubles monthly to pay for utilities, the amount is provided on the basis of receipts that have already been paid.

A pensioner living alone. I would like to get acquainted with the methodology for calculating the subsidy for utilities for 2020.

What subsidies are provided by the state for pensioners?

The finances that subsequently go to help vulnerable segments of the population are provided by the state, and therefore they can vary from region to region depending on the fullness of the treasury and other aspects.

In 2020, the bulk of subsidies provided to pensioners are in the following areas:

subsidies for pensioners to pay for utilities;
transport benefits and compensation;
assistance in improving living conditions.

Financial assistance for disabled people

People who are limited in their capabilities cannot fully perform their labor function, which means that they cannot receive a full salary.

Despite the fact that the state offers such citizens all kinds of benefits, subsidies, programs, as well as allowances and payments, a significant part of the money is spent on medicines, as well as on maintaining their health.

Therefore, the bottom line is that disabled people are left with a small portion of money, which is completely spent on paying utilities and bills. In order to, if possible, remove the burden of paying for utilities from this group of people, the state has provided subsidies for people with disabilities (Article 28.2, Federal Law No. 181 on assistance to people with disabilities).

REFERENCE: It is worth noting that these benefits are revised annually, indexed depending on the level of inflation in the country, as well as increases or decreases in prices.

Let's look at the main proposals of the state that can be addressed to people with disabilities.

The state knows that a significant part of bills for housing and communal services relates to electricity payments. The state offers a 50% discount on electricity bills.
If a disabled person uses city telephone services, he can count on a 50% discount.
In addition, the cost of housing and communal services is also reduced.
If a disabled person belongs to group 3, or is disabled from childhood, then when paying for housing and communal services, he can count on 50%.
If a citizen is a disabled person of the first and second groups, then payment of real estate and transport taxes will not be collected from this person in accordance with the regulatory legal act on this topic.
In addition, you can contact your local social security office or contact the administration yourself. Very rare regions may deny any benefits to such a group of people.

Step-by-step instruction

To receive a subsidy, you must have documents that confirm not only your identity, but also your disability.

It is advisable to provide a document proving your ownership of the property. With these papers, you must appear at the Social Security Service or social security authorities (what documents are needed to apply for a subsidy for utilities?).

Upon review of the submitted documents, you will be asked to submit an application for any benefits. You can make several statements at once. You are required to accept them and send them to the local government for verification.

If everything is done correctly, then you will not be charged utility bills in the established amount.

IMPORTANT: If payments continue to arrive, then again report to the local government authority, as well as to your management company. Remind them of your status and then you can avoid utility bills.

How is the subsidy for a pensioner calculated?

Subsidies are calculated by region and federally. At the same time, the federal indicator is the minimum acceptable, and the regional indicator is the maximum. In addition to these basic indicators, the realities of the financial situation of the pensioner himself and those who live with him are considered, and single disabled pensioners can count on the largest sums.

How are subsidies calculated? Initially, the total amount of profit is calculated, which is received by all relatives who live with the pensioner under the same roof. Then the income per person is calculated from this amount. In general, this is how a family is recognized as low-income and in need of help - if the indicator is below the subsistence level, if too large a percentage has to be spent on paying for housing and communal services.

"Utility" with a discount

According to Moscow law (N 54 of November 1, 2006), a family should not spend more than 10% of its income on housing and communal services. If the rent exceeds this share, Muscovites have the right to apply for a housing subsidy, and the city will compensate for the difference. A RG correspondent found out how to apply for a housing subsidy that will cover part of the increased costs.

Who can apply for a subsidy?

As the City Center for Housing Subsidies said, if your family’s total income (after adding up all sources of income, including pensions, scholarships, benefits, even interest on deposits) is less than indicated in the table, you can apply for a subsidy. The indicated amounts are valid from September 1, 2012.

The lower the family income, the higher the subsidy amount. On average it is now 1162.23 rubles. per family. But there are low-income families (with an income of up to 800 rubles per month for everyone) for whom the city fully covers the costs of “utilities” (within the standards). With an income of 800 to 2000 rubles. — 3%; 2000-2500 rubles - 6%; over 2500 rubles - 10%.

How is the subsidy amount calculated?

A number of other conditions are taken into account when calculating. For example, there is a standard for the cost of housing and communal services (it is approved by a decree of the Moscow government). Due to the increase in tariffs, it has also been increased and now amounts to:

for citizens living alone - 2403.94 rubles;
for one member of a family consisting of 2 people - 1945.27 rubles;
for one member of a family consisting of 3 or more people - 1835.62 rubles.

In addition, the square footage of the apartment is also taken into account. Whatever living space you have, the subsidy is calculated based on the standard:

for a single person - 33 sq. m of total area;
for a family of two people - 42 sq. m;
for a family of three (or more) - 18 sq. m for each.

Figure: 1162 rubles - the average subsidy for a communal apartment in Moscow.
If a single pensioner occupies a two-room apartment of 54 sq. m, then he will be given a subsidy only for 33 meters, and for the extra “squares” he will have to pay in full.

The amount of the subsidy is calculated using a special formula, but in a simplified form it should cover the difference between the maximum permissible share of citizens' expenses and the final account in the payment receipt.

Let’s say a lonely old woman with a pension of 13,400 rubles, who lives in a standard one-room apartment, must pay more than 3 thousand rubles on the receipt. To calculate the subsidy due to her, you need from 2403.94 rubles. (the current standard cost of housing and communal services for a person living alone) subtract 1,340 rubles. (10% of total income). She should receive a subsidy - 1063 rubles and kopecks.

Hey, new Muscovites!

According to the City Center for Housing Subsidies, as of September 1, almost 570 thousand families (approximately 878 thousand people) receive subsidies in Moscow. Last year there were even more of them - 578 thousand. Perhaps by the end of the year there will be an increase in requests, but not significantly. Because mostly pensioners come for subsidies, and their pensions were increased in August. True, with the expansion of Moscow, two new administrative districts - Novomoskovsky and Troitsky - added over 4 thousand more families to the number of subsidy recipients.

But there are no queues for financial support. Perhaps not all of the new Muscovites know that now you can apply for a subsidy if the amount in the payment bill exceeds 10% of income, and not 22%, as is the case under current laws in the Moscow region.

Where to contact?

To receive a subsidy, you should contact the regional housing subsidies department at your place of residence. There are 119 of these in the capital.

You need to bring with you:

passports of all family members (for children under 14 years of age - birth certificate);
certificate of ownership of residential premises, rental agreement, act of privatization of residential premises, and so on;
documents on the composition of the applicant’s family (marriage certificate, divorce certificate);
certificates of income of family members (salary, scholarship, pension, unemployment benefit) for the last 6 months preceding the month of applying for a subsidy;
settlement documents containing information about payments for housing and utilities, information about the presence or absence of arrears in payment for housing and utilities;
Muscovite social card or bank account details.

Subsidies are transferred to citizens' accounts opened in any banks in Moscow, or to a Muscovite's social card. For disabled people of the first group and the elderly, subsidies can be delivered to their homes.

Attention!

Citizens of the Russian Federation, as well as the republics of Belarus and Kyrgyzstan (according to an international treaty), registered in Moscow, have the right to a subsidy.

The subsidy is provided to users of residential premises, tenants, owners and members of their families only at the place of residence (registration). Although, if, for example, a mother and children are registered at one address, and a father is registered at another, his income is taken into account when assigning a subsidy.

If a citizen does not pay housing and communal services for two months, the provision of subsidies is suspended.

Subsidies for military pensioners

Military pensioners and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs belong to a special category of beneficiaries; they can receive help with housing issues.
Special programs allow them to receive cash payments to build a house or purchase an apartment; these programs are relevant for both active military personnel and retirees.

The payment amount can vary over a wide range, and again, it is calculated based on family composition, the cost of housing in the region, and other indicators.

Subsidies for disabled pensioners

State support for pensioners can take a variety of forms, and the main ones are worth considering in detail. The state provides all persons who have reached retirement age, or who retired earlier for one reason or another, with monthly cash payments for living expenses, the amount of which may vary depending on length of service and other indicators. Benefits are also provided for travel on public transport, social travel cards, and other measures that make travel more accessible.

Pensioners receive assistance in providing medications and can receive them free of charge or at reduced prices.
This also applies to other medical products; social security compensates for such costs. Sanatorium-resort treatment and recreation, as well as tax benefits, are also provided.

Today, a pensioner can get an education with government assistance, improve living conditions, get new housing or major repair services.

The opportunities are numerous, and as subsidy programs have grown rapidly in recent years, there are sure to be even more opportunities in the future. After all, this is how the state can help vulnerable segments of the population during crisis years, when every person may face very difficult financial problems.

Considering the list of payments and other assistance measures that a pensioner may qualify for, one can understand that now the elderly person has somewhere to turn for help, and this help will actually be provided.
