The list of federal benefits includes discounts on utility bills and taxes, additional medical services, improved working conditions and free travel to the place of treatment. Some of these services are available only to special categories of citizens, such as disabled people, participants in the Second World War or residents of the Far North. Regional preferences, such as a discount on transport tax or free travel, are governed by the laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Apart from pension payments, elderly citizens of the Russian Federation are entitled to a number of additional preferences. Benefits for pensioners provided federal law are available in all regions of the country. Despite the increase retirement age, in 2019 they will continue to be available from age 55 for women and from age 60 for men.

The list of benefits can be significantly expanded if a citizen belongs to one of the special categories: disabled people, participants in the Second World War, labor veterans, liquidators of the Chernobyl accident. In addition, the list of preferences is growing. The benefits do not depend on years of service. The main thing is that a person has a minimum length of service for receiving a pension, which is 5 years.

Subjects of the Russian Federation can provide additional bonuses and benefits: discounts on travel within the city and region, reduced transport tax, full or partial exemption from utility bills and major repairs. Preferences for pensioners in different regions can differ significantly. At the same time, local rules can only supplement the federal list, but not reduce it. Let us dwell in more detail on the benefits available to all elderly citizens of Russia.

Watch a press conference where the participants will try to answer the question why pensioners of the Moscow region are canceling travel benefits.

In Russia, women retire quite early. The retirement age is 55 and 60 for women and men, respectively. After a person receives the status of a pensioner, a number of new opportunities open up before him. The state has assumed responsibility for supporting the above-mentioned segment of the population. Everyone needs to know Where and how they can be issued? By answering these questions, it will be possible to easily take advantage of state bonuses for pensioners. They make life much easier and reduce spending in certain areas.

Benefit types

It is important to note that the benefits are different. Retirees can get help in the following areas:

• social;
• tax;
• housing;
• property;
• financial;
• medical;
• material.

It turns out that people of retirement age can get help in almost all spheres of life of a modern citizen. But what exactly can you expect? What are the benefits of an old age pensioner?

taxes

The most common government bonus - They usually completely exempt older people from certain tax payments. Some benefits in this area are established at the regional level, but most of them are federal in nature.

Old age pensioners are most often distinguished by the following:

• property tax - full exemption from payment for 1 object in each category of real estate (room, house, cottage, apartment, and so on);
• transport tax - partial or full exemption from payment for light cars of small capacity;
• land tax - usually there are no benefits, in some regions they are partially or completely exempt from payment.
• land tax deduction of 10,000 rubles - for all elderly people.

It is not difficult to guess that the registration of this bonus takes place in the Federal Tax Service. How to properly exempt from taxes as a pensioner will be discussed later. To begin with, it is necessary to understand the state support for the elderly in full.

housing issues

What benefits do old age pensioners enjoy? Next category state bonuses - housing. Usually, in order to receive appropriate support, you must submit a written notification of the exercise of your rights to the Criminal Code.

What can you apply for in Russia after receiving the status of a pensioner? Today it is:

• discount on utility bills and rent (from 50% to 100%);
• reimbursement of expenses for the use of a home telephone;
• free emergency home telephone installation;
• assistance with gasification of the house (free connection out of the general queue);
• exemption (from 80 years of age) or 50% discount (from 70 years of age) to pay for major home repairs.

All this is guaranteed, as a rule, in all regions of the Russian Federation. But that's not all. Housing benefits do not end with these features.

Housing

The thing is that under certain circumstances, pensioners can receive housing from the state. Free housing is not available to everyone. Currently eligible for it are:

• people who do not own any living space;
• needy pensioners (official recognition as such is required);
• persons who have special merits before the state (veterans, heroes, and so on).

Accordingly, middle-income older people cannot hope for free housing. Registration of this benefit is carried out in the city administration or in the housing chamber of the region.

Medicine

The next very important sphere of human life is medicine. It offers special bonuses to the elderly.

Most of them do not require any registration. It is enough to have an identity card and a pension certificate with you.

What benefits do old-age pensioners have in the field of medicine? Among them are:

• free (by prescription);
• treatment in sanatoriums and resorts (according to directions) without payment;
• free service in medical institutions out of turn;
• service in nursing homes and boarding houses without charging a fee;
• supply of dentures free of charge.

As already mentioned, no registration of benefits is required. When applying for medical care, you just need to confirm your status as a pensioner.

Transport

Privileges, pensioners old age, often depend on where the family lives. Special attention should be paid to the transport sector.

The thing is that today in Russia they are talking about the abolition of transport benefits for pensioners. This measure has been adopted in most regions. But in some cities, older people have not been deprived of state bonuses in this area.

Senior citizens are entitled to:

• free use of public transport;
• buying tickets for suburban transport out of turn;
• travel by commuter vehicles free of charge (usually after 80 years of age).

It is important to note that benefits (if any) do not apply to fixed-route and regular taxis.

Working citizens

Retirement age in Russia comes quite early. The population, even after registration of the status of pensioners, tries to continue their activities. This helps not only to feel younger, but also contributes to an increase in pension.

Working pensioners are entitled to state support. They may require:

• tax deductions for certain transactions;
• unpaid leave at a convenient time for you (the duration depends on the status of the pensioner);
• recalculation of pension once a year;
• free advanced training or retraining at the expense of the employer;
• accruals for the period of maintenance labor activity.

Non-working pensioners are also entitled to a tax deduction, but only if more than 3 years have not passed since the moment of dismissal. Otherwise, this opportunity for persons who do not deduct personal income tax (13%) is lost.

legal assistance

Old age is a period when citizens often need legal support. The services of an experienced lawyer cannot be called cheap. Therefore, the state decided to provide the elderly with free legal assistance.

It relies on the following persons who have gone on a well-deserved rest:

• war and labor veterans;
• the poor;
• people living in social service organizations;
• politically repressed;
• incompetent.

Everyone else will have to pay for the services of a lawyer. There is nothing surprising or unusual about this.

Targeted and material assistance

What are the benefits for old age pensioners? Elderly people of the Russian Federation can receive material or targeted assistance. To do this, you must apply with the appropriate application to social services.

Targeted assistance can be expressed:

• clothes;
• money;
• shoes;
• products;
• furniture;
• household items.

Targeted and material assistance is provided only to needy pensioners. The payout amount will vary. The only thing that can be said with certainty is that financial support should provide a pensioner living wage region.

Financial sphere

All citizens of the Russian Federation at a certain age are assigned a pension. Benefits for old-age pensioners will be issued after the person is officially recognized as elderly. To date, the fact that he has employment does not affect the receipt of most state bonuses.

Old people in Russia also receive financial benefits. Among them are:

• exemption from personal income tax material support;
• receiving a pension;
• increase in the insurance part of pension payments at a certain age.

As already mentioned, under certain circumstances and needs, citizens will be helped to ensure a living wage in the region.

deep old age

It is clear what tax benefits old-age pensioners are provided in Russia. Upon reaching the age of 80, new horizons open up for older people. What is it about?

• pensioner's ID;
• SNILS of a caregiver and a pensioner.

Both relatives (documents confirming kinship will be required) and complete strangers can take care of a pensioner.

Arranging tax breaks

Now it is clear what benefits an old-age pensioner has. All listed government bonuses are offered to the entire senior population. How to apply for tax benefits?

To do this, you need to contact the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration. With him, the pensioner must bring:

• application for exemption from tax;

• passport;
• TIN (if any);
• documents on the ownership of transport / real estate.

After studying the papers, the Federal Tax Service will exempt the pensioner from taxes. In order for the changes to take effect from the year the citizen applied, it is necessary to submit a written request before November 1. Otherwise, they will be exempt from taxes from the next tax period.

Deductions

You should also pay attention to the processing of tax deductions. They are provided to all working citizens who contribute 13% of personal income tax to the state treasury. Pensioners receive this support according to the general rules.

They must bring with them:

• an application for a deduction;
• identification;
• registration certificates;
• work book;
• income certificates (usually in the form 2-NDFL);
• tax return;
• supporting documents for obtaining a deduction (mortgage agreement, sale and purchase agreement, and so on);

After a detailed consideration of the request, pensioners can wait for a response from the Federal Tax Service regarding the provision of a deduction.

6. How to use the right to free travel to a beneficiary?

If you are eligible for reduced fares on public transport, but you do not yet have a Muscovite card, you need to apply at any of the My Documents public service centers. Since the issuance of a card takes several weeks, and you already have the right to free travel, at the time of acceptance of the package of documents you will be issued a temporary unified social ticket for travel on public transport in Moscow, which will be valid for 30 days.

This temporary ticket works in the same way as the Muscovite card: in order to get into the subway, the surface transport salon, it is enough to attach it to the turnstile.

However, to travel on suburban trains at the time of issuing a card, you will need a certificate, on the basis of which the cashiers of suburban passenger companies issue non-cash tickets for electric trains. You can get a certificate in the center of public services "My Documents"

You can book a ticket:

• in the kiosks of the State Unitary Enterprise "Moscow Metro";
• in kiosks and ticket vending machines of SUE “Mosgortrans”;
• through self-service terminals of JSC Eleksnet and PJSC Moscow Credit Bank (around the clock).

The right to travel on commuter trains with a 50% discount can be used from September 1 to June 15 upon presentation of a student's card to the cashier.

Note! In order to use the Muscovite card for travel, you must have a student ID with you and present it when paying for travel in the metro and ground public transport as a document confirming the right to travel on preferential terms.
