Currently, on the territory Russian Federation Various segments of the population live here, including military families. As is known, for citizens who served under a contract in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, a certain pension allowance is provided.
These persons are entitled to two pensions and an annual increase. The calculation of pensions for these individuals is based on military service, as well as other work activities or social privileges.

- Additionally, provision is made for the assignment of allowances that were assigned to the spouse after transfer to the reserve and retirement by year.

The pension for the widow of a military pensioner this year is regulated by the relevant Federal laws, and in addition by Orders of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and some additional regulations of local authorities of municipalities.

Other benefits for military wives
Today, military wives can claim not only such accruals, but also a number of other incentives. Typically, the following may be provided:
- One-time monetary compensation.
- Financial assistance aimed at improving living conditions.
- Benefits when paying for travel on public transport.
- Certain social rewards.

The life of a military serviceman is often characterized by frequent moves, so it is not always easy for his wife to find a job and provide pension payments in old age. To ensure that an officer's widow is not left without a livelihood in old age, the state provides special social support measures.
Conditions for granting a pension to the widow of a deceased military pensioner
The amount and conditions for calculating benefits are regulated by Law of the Russian Federation No. 4468-1 “On pension provision for persons who served in military service” dated February 12, 1993.
Depending on the circumstances, the widow may be assigned:
- Military pension or survivor benefits. Those widows whose husband at the time of death (or no later than 5 years before) received state pension payments for service in the Armed Forces can apply for it.
- Insurance or social pension. Appointed upon reaching retirement age subject to other conditions provided for by law.
In some cases, a widow may receive both types of pension benefits (for example, social and survivors). At the same time, according to Article 35 of Law No. 4468-1, the pension for the wife of a deceased military pensioner is preserved even upon entering into a new marriage (exceptions to this rule are discussed below).
Military
This type of state support is available to women if the cause of their husband’s death was a disability (injury, illness, injury) received during military service. In this case, the benefit due to the widow is calculated as a percentage of the state benefit that the deceased received during his lifetime.
For the loss of a breadwinner
To receive this type of social benefits, the death of a serviceman must not be associated with a health disorder received in the service, and the widow herself must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Be over 55 years old.
- Have a disability documented by a medical and social examination (MSE).
- Caring for children (or close relatives) of the deceased who are under 14 years of age. By general rule, the woman who is assigned such pension payments should not work. If the person being cared for is under 8 years of age, it does not matter whether the recipient has another job.
Military pensions and survivor benefits are subject to all types of increasing coefficients provided for by law (for example, for residents of the northern territories).
If you lose the right to this benefit (for example, when moving from the Far North to warmer regions), the pension is recalculated according to new criteria.
Double
According to the law, women who have reached 55 years of age are entitled to state old-age benefits. This pension can be:
- Labor. Assigned to persons who have completed the statutory insurance period and have the required number of pension points.
- Social. Assigned to those who cannot obtain an insurance-type pension.
As a general rule, receiving these state social subsidies together with survivor benefits is not allowed - the widow must choose one option. Wherein, military pension can be combined with insurance or social – this is stated in Article 7 of Law No. 4468-1. In this case, in the event of a new marriage, the widow loses the right to simultaneously receive two types of security and the accruals are recalculated.
Registration procedure
Pensions for widows of pensioners with military state support are assigned after consideration in Pension Fund Russia (PFR) application and package of documents. You can submit an application in different ways:
- on the Pension Fund website;
- by contacting the Multifunctional Center;
- by sending the papers by registered mail;

- ITU certificate - if the widow has a disability group.

According to the law, a widow can apply for a military pension from the date of her husband’s death, and for a survivor’s benefit - with the onset of circumstances provided for by law (for example, becoming disabled, if the benefit is assigned for this reason). At the same time, the required funds are paid only for the previous 12 months, so it is important to submit in a timely manner Required documents. Depending on the reason for the appointment, the benefit is either lifelong or temporary. The table shows in which cases, according to the law, payments are terminated:
