Serviceman's survivor's pension: rules and conditions of appointment

Types of state pensions

For certain categories of citizens in our country, state pensions . Such citizens are:

civil servants;
military personnel;
participants of the Second World War (Great Patriotic War) and residents of besieged Leningrad;
victims of radiation and man-made disasters;
cosmonauts and flight test personnel.

Depending on who receives a pension and on what basis, all state pension payments are divided into several types :

by old age;
on disability;
for length of service;
in case of loss of a breadwinner.

In addition, state payments also include social pensions (for old age, disability and loss of a breadwinner). As a rule, their recipients are persons who, due to certain circumstances, are not entitled to an insurance pension, and children.

Unlike pension payments for insurance coverage, which are financed from insurance contributions paid to the Pension Fund, state pensions are financed from the federal budget .

Depending on the form of military service, pensions for military personnel and their family members can be assigned according to two different laws:

when serving under a contract - Law of the Russian Federation N 4468-1 of February 12, 1993 “On pension provision for persons who served in military service...”;
during conscription service - Federal Law No. 166 of December 15, 2001 “On state pension provision in the Russian Federation.”

In the event of the death of a citizen belonging to this category of the population, a survivor's pension is established for his relatives.

In what cases is a state pension awarded in the event of the loss of a breadwinner?

1. In the event of the death of military personnel during conscription as soldiers, sailors, sergeants and foremen, or no later than three months after dismissal from military service, or in the event of death occurring later than this period, but due to injury, concussion, injuries or illnesses received during military service.

2. In the event of death (death) of citizens injured as a result of radiation or man-made disasters from among:

citizens who received or suffered radiation sickness and other diseases associated with radiation exposure as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant or work to eliminate the consequences of this disaster;
citizens who became disabled as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant;
citizens who took part in eliminating the consequences of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the exclusion zone;
citizens injured as a result of other radiation or man-made disasters (except for the Chernobyl accident), in the manner prescribed by regulations governing the pension provision of these citizens. The conditions for granting pensions to citizens affected by other radiation or man-made disasters, as well as members of their families, are established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

The specified pension is assigned regardless of the length of insurance coverage and the cause of death of the deceased breadwinner.

3. In the event of death (death) of citizens from among test cosmonauts, cosmonaut researchers, test cosmonaut instructors, cosmonaut researcher instructors who had the title “Pilot-Cosmonaut of the USSR” or “Pilot-Cosmonaut of the Russian Federation”.

4.

Right to receive a second pension

Almost no rule is without exceptions, therefore, in accordance with Federal Laws No. 4468-1 and No. 166, certain citizens have the right to receive several pensions at once . These include:

Disabled persons due to injuries received as a result of participation in hostilities;
Participants of the Second World War, except those who were not part of the active army from 1941 to 1945;
Parents of military personnel who died during conscription service. Payments in accordance with the loss of a breadwinner can be assigned in the following situations:
death occurred during rest or lights out;
An injury received during conscription service led to his death.
Wives of military personnel whose death was caused by an injury received during service (the main condition for receiving funds is the absence of remarriage).
Citizens who survived the siege of Leningrad can simultaneously count on state support in connection with disability and old age.
People who helped victims of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident by eliminating the consequences of the disaster. Any member of their family can apply for a payment in connection with the loss of a breadwinner, as well as in accordance with old age (subject to incapacity for work).
Family members of a citizen who has dedicated his life to astronautics can apply for a pension for 2 reasons: old age and loss of a breadwinner.
Officers are provided with state payments in case of disability and length of service.

Employees of state enterprises of federal significance can also apply for a double pension. However, the length of work experience must be at least 5 years.

The rules for receiving double pension benefits for military personnel are described in the following video:

Grounds for granting a pension for the loss of a breadwinner-military

In accordance with the current legislation, military personnel are on full state pay and have a special status. This explains the features of their pension provision. In addition, the relatives of a deceased military man have the right to count on money paid by the state upon the loss of a breadwinner.

An important circumstance for deciding whether to assign this payment is the status of the deceased. It must be directly related to the Armed Forces or structures equivalent to them. That is, to have the status of a military personnel. Accordingly, this type of payment can be assigned if death occurred during the period when the person performed the relevant duties of the service or no more than three months after its end.

The fact of assigning material support is not affected by the form of service in the troops or equivalent structures. Recipients of payments can be relatives of a person who served both under conscription and under contract

In addition, the circumstances of the death of the breadwinner play a certain role. The right to receive state support is given to relatives of those deceased who died as a result of performing military service duties, being maimed, traumatized, as well as due to developing diseases.

If the death of a military man occurred, for example, due to his violation of the current legislation, then only social benefits will be paid to the relatives.

Who is entitled to the survivor's subsidy?

The basis for granting preference is Federal Law No. 400-FZ. It is necessary to take into account the requirements of Federal Law No. 166, which reflects the provision of pension contributions to former employees of the RF Ministry of Defense. The designated type of benefit is insurance.

List of citizens applying for regular payments:

offspring of the deceased until they reach the age of eighteen. When studying full-time at a university, the beneficiary can apply for a preference until he reaches 23 years of age. Further, the right remains only if the child receives a disability group during his minority;
widows upon reaching 55 years of age. Applicants should not register a remarriage;
parents, grandparents, if they are over 60 (55) years old, disabled;
other persons who are raising the offspring of the deceased.

The conditions for acquiring a preference are established by law and include:

Confirmation of your disability.
The breadwinner did not commit any crimes established during the trial before his death.
The serviceman died while performing tasks or as a result of an illness (injury) received under such circumstances.
The breadwinner was declared missing.

Important! It is not only the relatives of contract workers who are entitled to receive government benefits. Relatives of conscripts can also count on financial support, however, its amount will vary.

Who is it intended for?

A military survivor's pension is one of the types of military pensions that is paid to the families of deceased military personnel. The calculation of monetary compensation depends on the specifics of the citizen’s military service: contract basis and compulsory conscription service. Pension provision for contract soldiers and family members is regulated by Federal Law No. 4468-1 of 1993, and for conscripts - Federal Law No. 166 of 2001.

Causes of death of a military man for which a pension is granted:

death during execution;
within three months after dismissal;
death of a military man that occurred later due to illness, injury, or disability acquired during service (Article 8 of the Federal Law No. 166).

If a serviceman dies, dependent relatives are entitled to a military survivor's pension. This category of payments will also be paid to relatives, provided that the military man died during the period when he received the pension or within the five-year period when the payment was stopped. Persons who went missing or died in captivity are considered dead military personnel.

Who is entitled to a serviceman's survivor's pension:

children under the age of majority or full-time students - up to 23 years of age, including those who have been adopted or taken into guardianship;
disabled brothers, sisters and grandchildren of the deceased who do not have able-bodied parents;
spouse, mother, father who are 60 and 65 years old or have been assigned a disability group;
family members of the deceased who had to take on the upbringing of his children, brothers, sisters and grandchildren until they were 14 years old. Caregivers should not be formally employed;
grandmother, grandfather of the deceased upon reaching 60 and 65 years of age or who are disabled and have no one to support them;
parents of conscripts who died or died due to military trauma, who were 50 and 55 years old;
the widow of the deceased, if she has reached 55 years of age.

Close relatives also include stepmother and stepfather, if the deceased was raised by them for at least five years. If the death of a military man occurred due to the commission of a criminal crime by the latter, the dependents are assigned a social pension for the loss of a breadwinner.

Pensions for widows of military personnel

The survivor's pension for the widow of a serviceman is calculated:

if the woman is 55 years or older;
if she never remarried.

For the widow of a military contractor, the pension remains the same even if the woman remarries. If a widow receives a disability pension, then the due payment for her husband will be made along with this pension until the woman marries again.

A widow is entitled to a pension if she does not work but is raising children, including younger sisters, brothers, and grandchildren of the deceased, until they turn 14 years old. And also if, after the death of her husband, the woman became unable to work and was left without a livelihood.

The legislation also provides for the granting of a pension to widows, regardless of age, marital status or employment, if the woman is raising children under eight years of age. In any case, this type of compensation is due to those who are unable to provide for themselves.

There is also financial assistance for funeral expenses (the amount of three pensions that the spouse received before his death). For widows of senior and senior officers with at least 25 years of service, a lump sum death benefit is provided.

The benefits provided to the widows of the deceased depend on the type of military service and the cause of death. If a contract soldier was entitled to a pension, then widows are provided with benefits for housing and communal services. If the deceased is a combat veteran, then a 50% discount on housing costs is given. One-time assistance is provided for transporting property up to 20 tons.

The pension officially stops being paid if:

the widow of a conscript remarries;
children reach 8 and 14 years old;
disability is removed;
the woman begins to officially work.

For a child who has lost a military parent

A pension for the loss of a military serviceman's breadwinner is provided to children until they reach the age of majority, as well as to those receiving full-time education until the age of 23. The category of children of the deceased also includes younger brothers, sisters and grandchildren, if there are no able-bodied parents and the children were supported by the deceased.

A pension is also granted to an adult disabled child of the deceased if the disability began before adulthood. The repeated adoption of a child is not grounds for cancellation of a pension (Article 33 of the Federal Law No. 4468-1).

Children whose parents served in conscription receive a pension from the Pension Fund. For children of contract soldiers - Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:

50% of the allowance, but not less than 200% of the social pension - to those killed in the line of duty from a military injury;
in the amount of 40% of the monetary allowance, but not less than 150% of the social pension - for those who died not while on duty, but due to other circumstances.

Cash payments are also established for children of disabled military pensioners if they are left without parents, as well as those raised by a deceased single mother. In 2020, the benefit amount is 10,068 rubles.

Disabled children, disabled children of groups I and II are provided with a monthly supplement of 32% of the social pension.

To the parents of the deceased

The parents of a deceased serviceman are entitled to a survivor's pension when:

parents who have reached the established retirement age of 60 and 65 years or are on disability;
are engaged in raising the children of the deceased, his younger brothers, sisters and grandchildren, until they turn 14 years old. In this situation, there are no age restrictions, as well as the presence of ability to work. All that is required is that the person raising the children does not work;
parents of deceased conscripts who were 50 and 55 years old.

The mother and father of a deceased military man have the right to receive a second pension if the son served in military service. This could be an old age pension, disability pension, social pension, or state pension. An allowance is also due if the parent is over 80 years old or has received a Group I disability.

Categories of citizens receiving benefits

Close relatives, as well as adopted or fostered children and disabled citizens who do not have their own source of income: wages, alimony or pension, have the right to count on receiving benefits.

The benefit is assigned:

minor children under 18 years of age;
adult children aged 18 to 23 years studying full-time at universities;
grandchildren, brothers and sisters who were in the care of the deceased under the same conditions as children;
disabled spouse;
grandparents who were in the care of a serviceman without their own pension;
disabled persons from among close relatives who have taken upon themselves the responsibility of raising the young children of the deceased;
special conditions of state support exist for conscripts killed during hostilities. In addition to children, parents and spouses have the right to receive benefits.

Persons who went missing during hostilities, were captured, or died in hospitals after the end of hostilities due to an injury (illness) received during the active phase of hostilities are considered dead.

Parents (spouse) have the right to receive maintenance from the state until retirement:

women - upon reaching 50 years of age;
men – 55 years old.

NB! In light of changes in the retirement age, this is a significant benefit that has not yet undergone changes. However, Russian legislators, not burdened with legal knowledge, most likely simply overlooked this discrepancy. For now, Law No. 4468-1 of February 12, 1993 is in force, and this has a beneficial effect on the relatives of Russian military personnel killed in the SAR.

Conditions for assigning a military pension for loss of a breadwinner

For family members of military personnel in the Russian Federation, in the event of his death, a special payment is provided - a military pension in the event of the loss of a breadwinner. But the relatives of a deceased citizen do not always have the right to receive a military pension. Recipients of this security can be family members of a serviceman only if his death occurs:

during military service;
no later than three months from the date of dismissal from service;
in case of illness received in service or military injury, regardless of the elapsed time.

In this case it does not matter whether the deceased served under conscription or under a contract (the differences will only be in the amount of pensions). At the same time, if a court decision recognizes that a serviceman died as a result of unlawful actions, a social pension .

Also, family members of a deceased military pensioner have the right to apply for this payment if the death of the pensioner occurred during the period of receiving the pension or no later than 5 years after it ceased.

Who is assigned this type of state benefit?

There are a number of conditions that apply to the recipient of a bereavement pension. Able-bodied citizens cannot apply for it. They need to take care of their own maintenance.

The main condition for receiving state support related to the loss of a breadwinner is the applicant’s incapacity for work.

According to the current regulatory framework, such benefits are accrued to the following persons:

military children:
until the age of 23, subject to full-time education;
other persons under the age of 18 or 23 who are grandchildren, brothers or sisters of the deceased, under the same conditions;
spouses;
parents;
grandparents of a military man, if they have no other income (including another pension);
unemployed relatives raising young (under 14 years old) children (grandchildren, brothers, sisters) of the deceased.

Special rights to military pension

The law defines situations when support is provided to relatives regardless of the fact of previous dependency. These include:

minor children of the deceased;
his father or mother, wife, provided that these persons have no other income;
parents and spouses of the deceased conscript.

Military personnel who went missing during hostilities are considered dead. Their relatives are also provided with appropriate maintenance.

Preferential conditions for assigning maintenance to certain categories of citizens

Article 30 of Law No. 4468-1 of February 12, 1993 defines preferential rights to maintenance from the state for the parents and spouses of deceased defenders of the Fatherland. They apply if the death of the latter occurs:

due to injury received during combat operations at the front;
during the period of captivity by enemies of the Motherland;

in the direct performance of the duties of a military personnel.

The preferential condition is to reduce the age of the applicant by five years:

the wife and mother of the deceased receive maintenance after the 50th birthday;
husband and father - 55th anniversary.

In addition, the law provides for the assignment of this payment to each of the applicants who meet preferential conditions. Whether these people were his dependents before the death of the defender of the Motherland is not taken into account.

The same preferential procedure for assigning pension benefits applies to the spouse of the deceased who is raising a common child under the 8th birthday. In this case, such circumstances characterizing the applicant as:
age;
ability to work;
presence or absence of a place of duty.

Providing all documents that officially prove the fact of death of a serviceman during his military service.
Submission of documents that can officially prove that the military man has length of service in an amount sufficient for his relatives to receive pension payments.
If a serviceman dies during the period of military service, the amount of the military man's monthly allowance is taken into account when calculating the payment to his successors.

To carry out calculations and calculate the pension in such a case, the personal presence of family members of the military personnel is required when submitting an application for calculation of the pension and its issuance to the relatives of the military man.

The amount of pension benefits for the loss of a military breadwinner in 2020

The size of the assignment to dependents is directly related to two circumstances:

the reason that caused the death of the defender of the Motherland;
the type of service he performed.

Relatives of officers and soldiers who served under contract receive maintenance depending on the amount of the military’s salary:

50% - if death is caused by wounds (military trauma);
40% for death from a disease acquired at work.

The amount of benefits accrued to the relatives of conscripts is calculated on the basis of the established social pension indicator:

200% if the breadwinner dies from military trauma;
150% - from illnesses acquired in service.

Attention: the amount of social pension is 5180.24 rubles.

Thus, as a result of the death of a conscript from injury, his dependents will receive 15,540.72 rubles each. every.
If a soldier dies from a disease, then the amount of state benefit will be 12,950.60 rubles.

Dmitry, born in marriage, 3 years old.
The military wife never worked, she took care of the housework and raising children.
In 2020 Khlamov A.G. died while performing a military mission in Syria.
Since the cause of death is injury during the performance of the duty of a defender of the Fatherland, dependents receive the right to maintenance from the state budget.
Its size is set at 200% of social benefits.
Consequently, A.G. Khlamov’s wife, his adopted daughter and his own son will receive 15,540.72 rubles monthly. every.

Thus, the total family income will be 31,081.44 rubles. When assigning pension payments, the age and working capacity of the deceased’s wife are not taken into account.

Increasing the amount of state benefit for loss

Increased bereavement payments are established by law in the following cases:

for residents of the Far North, the amount increases by a multiple of the regional coefficient (subject to residence in the corresponding region);
the same bonus is given to elderly dependents who have crossed the 80-year-old threshold;
Disabled children and people with disabilities since childhood are entitled to an increase in the amount of state support by 32%.

The husband of citizen Stepanova I., living in the city of Vorkuta, died while participating in a military operation.
Stepanova I. has been disabled since childhood, group 2. She has no work experience and has never worked.
On legal grounds, she was assigned state support in connection with the loss of a breadwinner in the amount of 15,540.72 rubles.
The payout increases:
is a multiple of the regional coefficient by 160%.
The amount of the survivor's pension is calculated as follows:

The regional coefficient applies to all social charges of a pensioner living in the corresponding territory.

Allowances providing for an increase

A certain category of citizens who have lost their breadwinner, a military serviceman, are entitled to pension supplements.

Thus, additional financial assistance in the amount of 100% of the paid pension can be received by:

Disabled people of group I;
recipients who have reached 80 years of age.

An additional amount of 32% of the established amount of payments for the loss of a breadwinner is received by:

Disabled children who were left without both parents, as well as children of a deceased single mother;
citizens who have had disabilities of groups 1 and 2 since childhood, and who have lost both parents.

The certificate is issued at the military registration and enlistment office (at the place of service) or at the military registration and enlistment office (at the registration address).

The Russian government provides people who cannot earn and support themselves with a monthly cash benefit - a pension. It is assigned to certain categories of citizens.

It is worth mentioning separately about military personnel: they are assigned an old-age or long-service allowance. But if a person who previously worked in military structures dies, his close relatives are entitled to a monthly payment. Let's find out to whom and in what cases it is assigned, as well as what is the size of the military survivor's pension.

Two pensions

Privileges in the form of two subsidies are given to the parents of conscripts who died as a result of health damage in the service, and to wives who did not register a second union after the death of their husband.

This right appears after the death of a loved one or upon reaching retirement age. Disabled people can receive a second payment in addition to their basic income. The latter, in turn, may represent one of the following types of income: insurance; social; according to length of service.

For example, a mother lost her son, who was a military serviceman. So, she will receive a loss pension immediately, and after reaching 56-60 years old - an old-age preference. A list of documentation that will have to be collected to apply for benefits can be requested from the military registration and enlistment office and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

widows of military personnel who died in military service due to military trauma and who have not remarried.

The listed persons may be entitled to another payment from the Pension Fund of Russia, namely a pension:

old age insurance pension (disability);
social old age pension (disability);
long service pension;
social pension in case of loss of a breadwinner.

Attention: the second pension provision is assigned on the basis of a personal application in the manner prescribed by law.

Privileges

A one-time cash payment of 3 million rubles is provided to family members of a military man who died in the line of duty or died from injury or illness within a year from the date of dismissal. The money is divided among close relatives who are entitled to receive it (Article 8 of the Federal Law No. 306).

For contract soldiers who have the status of a combat veteran, a monthly payment of 927 rubles is due.

A number of social benefits provided to relatives (Article 24 of the Federal Law No. 76):

money for home repairs (every 10 years);
funds allocated for the purchase or construction of housing, subject to 20 years of service of the breadwinner and with members of his family recognized as needy;
payment for housing and communal services, fuel costs for heating houses;
sanatorium treatment, medical services, other social compensation.

But for widows who remarried, this type of benefits is not preserved, except for compensation for home repairs.

Indexation of military pensions

The next indexation will occur on October 1, 2020 and will amount to 6.3%. The size of the pension will increase due to an increase in the reduction factor and military allowances. According to Federal Law No. 460 dated December 11, 2018, the effect of Part 2 of Art. 43 of Law No. 4468-1 is suspended until 2020. From January 2020, the amount of monetary allowance is set at 72.23%, from October 1, 2020 - 76.78%. The annual indexation of pensions, according to Presidential Decree No. 604, is 2%, but since 2016 the declared increase in pensions has not happened, since the Decree was suspended every year.
