Benefits for Labor Veterans
The Federal Law of January 12, 1995 "On Veterans" defines the organizational, legal and economic components of the social protection of veterans of the Russian Federation. Its goal is to create conditions that will provide veterans with active life, respect and honor in society.
Changes in the published law of 1995 occurred when the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of August 22, 2004 No. 122 was adopted. The categories of beneficiaries were divided into regional and federal. A person who is recognized as a "Veteran of Labor" is a beneficiary of regional significance, therefore, the region assigns a set of additional payments and benefits independently.
The law, issued on August 22, 2004, No. 122, regulates benefits for the population of Russia, citizens of foreign origin, and without citizenship, permanently residing in Russia and having the document "Veteran of Labor".
Typically, the payments that are provided to labor veterans are as follows:
- receiving benefits in accordance with the decrees of the Russian Federation;
- payment of subsidies on a monthly basis;
- preferential purchase of medicines;
- receiving prosthetic and orthopedic service;
- payment of utilities with a 50% discount;
- purchase of a public transport ticket at a reduced price;
- receipt, as well as the maintenance of living quarters.
When men reach 60 years of age and women 55 years old, the state guarantees the receipt of an old-age pension.
Citizens who have earned an old-age pension and have earned the title of "Veteran of Labor" can count on the payment of benefits in full. To find out what social subsidies in your region, you need to come to the Department of Social Protection of the Population at the place of registration.
