Payments for caring for disabled citizens. On payments to non-working able-bodied persons caring for disabled citizens Other grounds for assigning payments

In order to strengthen the social protection of disabled citizens, Decrees of the President of the Russian Federation dated December 26, 2006 No. 1455 “On compensation payments to persons caring for disabled citizens” and dated February 26, 2013 No. 175 “On monthly payments to persons caring for children -disabled people and people with disabilities since childhood, group 1”, monthly compensation payments have been established for non-working able-bodied persons caring for people with disabilities of group 1, disabled children, people with disabilities since childhood, group 1, as well as for the elderly who, upon conclusion of a medical institution, need constant outside care or have reached age 80 years.

Compensation payment is a form of state support for that category of citizens who are unable to work because they are constantly caring for a disabled child, a disabled person of group 1 (in need of constant assistance as determined by doctors), the elderly or those who are over 80 years old. This state support can be applied for by persons who provide real assistance to a person in need, while the presence of kinship or the fact of living together with him does not matter. Therefore, even a stranger who provides care for a disabled person and left his job because of this has the right to apply for a compensation payment by contacting the territorial body of the Pension Fund at the pensioner’s place of residence.

From July 1, 2008, the amount of these funds, which partially compensate for the possible labor earnings of a non-working person, amounted to 1,200 rubles.

However, if we are talking about parents (adoptive parents, guardians, trustees) who take care of disabled children (under 18 years of age) or disabled people of group 1 since childhood, then in this case the monthly compensation payment, according to current legislation, is set at 5,500 rubles .

The parameters for establishing the above payments in relation to the caregiver are:

– the caregiver must be able to work;

– must not be in an employment relationship (including not being an entrepreneur);

– should not receive pensions or unemployment benefits.

The listed requirements cannot be violated, otherwise this entails the fact that these payments were received illegally and, accordingly, the need to return to the Pension Fund in full.

The procedure for establishing compensation payments involves submitting an application to the Pension Fund management, attaching a work book with a notice of dismissal.

In order to control the targeted expenditure of funds from the Pension Fund and the federal budget, including for making a decision to terminate the above-mentioned payment, the Pension Fund management uses individual (personalized) accounting information provided to the Pension Fund management by employers on a quarterly basis.

However, it is necessary to remind recipients of the compensation payment that it is carried out monthly, and individual information is provided quarterly at a minimum. In case of failure to inform the department about the fact that the caregiver is working, an overpayment for 3 months is formed (1200 x 3 = 3600), and if this is a payment in the amount of 5500 rubles, then even more (5500 x 3 = 16500). And if the number of pensioners cared for by an able-bodied person is not one, but two or three, then the amount of overpayment accordingly doubles or triples. Today, the Pension Fund manages 3,160 recipients of compensation payments in the amount of 1,200 rubles and 208 recipients of monthly payments in the amount of 5,500 rubles.

As a result of an inspection of the facts of work of carers, as well as the individual information provided for the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2015, facts of work and failure to report to the Pension Fund management were established for 174 carers. The total amount of the overpayment was 358,609 rubles.

Therefore, we remind you once again that the fact of employment must be reported to the Pension Fund management in a timely manner (within five days). If this is done in a timely manner, caregivers will not have to repay overpaid amounts over a long period of work.

From July 1, 2008, on the basis of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated May 13, 2008 No. 774 “On additional measures of social support for persons caring for disabled citizens,” the amount of the monthly compensation payment was increased to 1,200 rubles per month (excluding the regional coefficient, which is established on the territory of the Kirov region by Resolution of the Secretariat of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions of October 17, 1988 N 546/25-5).

Pursuant to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated December 26, 2006. No. 1455 by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated June 4, 2007. No. 343 approved the Rules for making monthly compensation payments to non-working able-bodied persons caring for disabled citizens.

From January 1, 2013, in accordance with Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of February 26, 2013 No. 175 “On monthly payments to persons caring for disabled children and disabled children of group I”, monthly payments are established to non-working able-bodied persons who care for children - disabled and disabled since childhood group I: parent (adoptive parent) or guardian (trustee) - in the amount of 5,500 rubles, other persons - in the amount of 1,200 rubles.

In pursuance of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated February 26, 2013 No. 175, the Government of the Russian Federation Resolution No. 397 dated May 2, 2013 approved the Rules for making monthly payments to non-working able-bodied persons caring for disabled children under the age of 18 or group I disabled children since childhood.

The range of persons entitled to receive compensation and monthly payments in connection with the provision of care

A person actually caring for a disabled citizen, regardless of their relationship and cohabitation, who meets the following conditions:

  • able-bodied;
  • not receiving a pension;
  • not performing paid work (including not being an individual entrepreneur);
  • not receiving unemployment benefits.

The circle of disabled family members for whose care a compensation (monthly) payment is established includes:

  • disabled people of group 1;
  • disabled children under 18 years of age;
  • persons over 80 years of age;
  • elderly people in need of constant outside care based on the conclusion of a medical institution.

On persons who are guardians or adoptive parents on the basis of agreements on the implementation of guardianship and trusteeship on a reimbursable basis or under a foster family agreement

According to Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated February 26, 2013 No. 175 “On monthly payments to persons caring for disabled children and people with disabilities since childhood of group I”, monthly payments are established to non-working able-bodied parents (adoptive parents), guardians (trustees) or other persons who provide care for a disabled child under 18 years of age or a group I disabled child since childhood (hereinafter referred to as monthly payments).

Article 152 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Family Code) provides that a foster family recognizes guardianship or trusteeship of a child or children, which are carried out under an agreement on a foster family (hereinafter referred to as the Agreement), concluded between the guardianship and trusteeship body and the adoptive parents, on the period specified in the Agreement.

According to Article 123 of the Family Code, a foster family is one of the forms of placement for children left without parental care.

The agreement is concluded with the aim of regulating the rights of the guardian (trustee) and ward and is aimed at reducing the number of children raised in organizations for children without parental care.

In accordance with Article 16 of the Federal Law of April 24, 2008 No. 48-FZ “On Guardianship and Trusteeship” (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 48-FZ), the duties of guardianship and trusteeship are performed free of charge, except in cases where the guardianship and trusteeship authority, based on out of the interests of the ward, enters into an agreement with the guardian or trustee on the implementation of guardianship or trusteeship on paid terms.

The above-mentioned “compensatory” agreements also include an agreement on a foster family and an agreement on a foster family.

Article 152 of the Family Code provides, in particular, that the provisions of Chapter 20 of the Family Code are applied to relations arising from a foster family agreement, and in particular, not regulated by this chapter, the rules of civil law on the paid provision of services are applied insofar as this does not contradict the essence of such relations.
Consequently, the Agreement providing for the payment of remuneration to guardians, trustees, foster parents, foster carers (hereinafter referred to as guardians) is a civil contract, the subject of which is the performance of work and the provision of services.

It should be noted that the specified remuneration does not apply to those provided for by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, as well as the Federal Law of July 24, 2009 No. 212-FZ “On insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation, the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund” (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 212-FZ) types of income exempt from taxation.

Part 1 of Article 7 of Law No. 212-FZ determines that the object of taxation with insurance premiums is payments and other remuneration accrued by organizations in favor of individuals, in particular, within the framework of civil contracts, the subject of which is the performance of work or the provision of services.

Taking into account the provisions of the Federal Law of December 15, 2001 No. 167-FZ “On Compulsory Pension Insurance in the Russian Federation”, insurance contributions are charged to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for benefits paid to citizens under the Agreement, which is a civil law agreement.

Thus, since the periods during which insurance premiums for these insured persons were transferred to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation are included in the insurance period when assigning pensions to these citizens, as periods of work, then guardians receiving remuneration in accordance with the contract are classified as working persons .

In this regard, guardians (trustees) providing paid guardianship (foster parents, foster carers) who receive remuneration in accordance with the Agreement are equated to the category of working persons and do not have the right to establish a monthly payment in accordance with Decree No. 175

Deadline for assigning compensation payments

Compensation and monthly payments to persons caring for disabled citizens are established from the month of filing the application and documents necessary to assign these payments, but not earlier than the day the right to these payments arises, for the entire period of care.

Payment of compensation

A compensation payment is established for the caregiver in relation to each disabled citizen for the period of care for him. In this case, the payment of compensation is made to the pension assigned to the disabled person and is carried out in the manner established for the payment of the corresponding pension. Making compensation payments stops from the first day of the month following the one in which the following circumstances occurred:

- death of a disabled citizen or person who provided care, as well as recognition of them as dead or missing in the prescribed manner;

- termination of care by the person providing care, confirmed by a statement from a disabled citizen (legal representative) and (or) an inspection report from the body paying the pension;

— assignment of a pension to the caregiver, regardless of its type and size;

— assignment of unemployment benefits to the caregiver;

— performance of paid work by a disabled citizen or a person caring for him (this rule does not apply to disabled children under the age of 18 and disabled children of group 1);

The termination of the monthly payment is made from the 1st day of the month following the month in which the listed circumstances occurred.

If a disabled citizen changes his place of residence, the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at his previous place of residence suspends the payment of compensation. If this disabled citizen continues to be cared for by the same person, the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation paying the pension at the new place of residence, at the request of the caregiver, resumes payment of compensation from the first day of the month following the one in which its payment was suspended at the previous place residence.

Amounts of assigned compensation payments that are not received on time are paid for the entire past period, but no more than three years before applying for their receipt. Amounts of compensation payments not paid on time due to the fault of the body assigning and paying such compensation are paid for the entire past time without any time limit.

Responsibilities of the caregiver

A caregiver, in the event of employment, a pension, unemployment benefits, as well as in the presence of other circumstances leading to the termination of the compensation payment, is obliged to inform the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, which assigned (pays) the specified compensation, within 5 days. the occurrence of such circumstances.

The Russian Federation has laws that allow citizens to take care of their own and other people's elderly relatives and receive a small allowance for this. In addition, a number of regulations define other preferences for citizens who are unable to take care of themselves.

It must be taken into account that the benefit for caring for an elderly person is small. Nevertheless, in some situations it allows to solve a number of problems of people who do not want to place an elderly relative in a government institution.

Who is considered an elderly person in need of care?

The legislation clarifies the use of terms related to the age of citizens. The gradation is defined quite specifically. So:

  1. Elderly people include:
    • men whose age ranges from 61 to 70 years;
    • women - from 56 to 70;
  2. Elderly people include citizens whose age ranges from 70 to 90 years;
  3. Those who have crossed the 90-year-old threshold are usually classified as centenarians.
Please note: the following definitions of terms are used in official documents. Mistakes in their use lead to serious problems.

Forms of formal care for the elderly


According to current legislation, there are several forms of care for disabled citizens:

  • Full guardianship is provided for disabled people of the 1st group and other people with serious illnesses, as well as incapacitated persons.
  • patronage is carried out in relation to capable citizens whose capabilities are limited.
  • As a rule, relatives take care of elderly people over 80 years of age.
Attention: the legislation does not establish a separate allowance assigned for guardianship or patronage.

Who is allowed to provide care?

Both relatives and organizations can provide care for people with disabilities. The conditions for the appointment of guardianship are reflected in Art. 35 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Civil Code).

Persons who have crossed the 80-year-old threshold, disabled people of group 1 and incompetent persons can take care of:

  • relatives;
  • other persons;
  • social service workers.
Please note: Federal law provides for a small elder care benefit. It is transferred to the pension account of the person under guardianship. Download for viewing and printing:

Conditions for assigning care assistance to citizens who have reached their 80th birthday

Any person who has received the consent of the person being cared for can officially arrange for the care of an elderly person. The current legislation imposes the following requirements on candidates:

  • registration and permanent residence within the borders of the Russian Federation;
  • ability to work;
  • lack of official employment, including registration with employment authorities;
  • written approval of the ward;
  • in some cases, permission from parents or official representatives is required for such activities;
  • failure to receive pension or social benefits;

Important: a schoolchild or student taking a full-time course can apply for care.

The process of applying for long-term care benefits


To assign compensation payments, it is necessary that the ward:

  • reached his 80th birthday;
  • or received a conclusion from a medical and social examination that he needs outside care;
  • has a document confirming disability of the 1st group (except for children with disabilities).
Important: You are allowed to care for several people in need at the same time.

Additionally you need to know:

  1. Compensation payments are not due if the ward receives two pensions, including one assigned for length of service in the law enforcement agencies.
  2. It is not necessary to live together with the elderly person under guardianship.
  3. Care responsibilities include:
    • organization of catering and household services (cleaning, laundry);
    • purchasing food and hygiene products;
    • assistance in making mandatory payments from the ward’s funds.

Where to contact


 Compensation is assigned and paid by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (PFR). Therefore, it is necessary to apply to your local office. You will need to attach the following documents to it:

  1. consent of the ward;
  2. a certificate from a medical institution about his state of health;
  3. copies of both passports;
  4. work books;
  5. a document confirming the lack of registration with employment authorities;
  6. for schoolchildren:
    • certificate from the educational institution;
    • parental consent to perform activities to care for the elderly;
  7. for students:
    • confirmation of full-time education.

Attention: PFR specialists independently determine:

  • whether a pension has been assigned to the candidate for compensation;
  • how many pension files are registered for a disabled citizen (a special request is sent).

How much will they pay


 The amount of compensation is fixed. In 2018 it was 1200 rubles. However, in some regions it increases by a multiple of the northern coefficient. The compensation is paid monthly along with the pension accruals of the elderly citizen. A separate account with the Pension Fund is not issued for her.

For comparison: close relatives caring for disabled children are entitled to an allowance of 5,500 rubles. Download for viewing and printing:

Design algorithm


In order for compensation to begin to accrue, the following actions must be taken:

  1. Obtain a written statement from the senior citizen.
  2. Contact the Pension Fund branch:
    • personally;
    • through the government services portal;
    • through a representative (a notarized power of attorney is required).
  3. Receive a response within 10 days (as long as required by law to make a decision).

The benefit will begin to accrue from the month in which the following are transferred to the Pension Fund:

  • bid;
  • package of documents;
  • but not earlier than the date on which the right to compensation arises.

The refusal is sent to the applicant within five days. If it is caused by failure to submit documents, then the applicant for compensation is given up to three months to correct errors.

Important: if circumstances arise that prevent the accrual of compensation, the recipient is obliged to report them to the Pension Fund. Five days are given for this. Information can be transmitted in person or through the government services portal.

When do payments stop?


From the beginning of the next month, accruals will stop if in the previous month:

  1. the death of one of the participants in the relationship has been recorded;
  2. The provision of services has been terminated and this is recorded:
    • recipient;
    • a person caring for an elderly person;
    • special inspection commission;
  3. curator:
    • got a job;
    • applied for a pension;
    • registered with the employment authorities;
  4. the period of assignment of disability group 1 has ended;
  5. the ward was placed in a social inpatient facility.
Attention: failure to provide information resulting in termination of payments leads to the collection of unreasonably transferred amounts.

Additional information

In some cases, it is necessary to notify the Pension Fund authorities. Namely:

  • if the ward has died;
  • when the recipient changed his place of registration (moved).

It is possible to receive compensation for past periods:

  1. So, if accruals were not made due to the fact that citizens did not apply for them, the amount for the three previous years will be reimbursed upon application. However, it is necessary to provide written confirmation of the receipt of services by the elderly citizen, as well as justify the right to assistance.
  2. If Pension Fund employees are to blame for non-receipt of payments, then the debt is compensated in full.

Other types of preferences for citizens providing care


Caregiving activities for elderly people often do not allow for work activities. And this deprives a person of the opportunity to receive income not only while fulfilling his obligations, but also in the future. In this regard, the decision was made:

  1. For each year of official care for an elderly person over 80 years of age, pension points of 1.8 are awarded.
  2. To receive them, you must interrupt your work activity before leaving the job and return to it immediately after the end of the contract.
Attention: pension points are accrued on the basis of an agreement with the guardianship authorities on the provision of care for an elderly person. Without providing the document, the Pension Fund will not count this period into the pension period.

Guardianship

Another type of care for the elderly, those in need of third-party care or incapacitated citizens is arranged through the guardianship and trusteeship authority (TPA). Its essence is to transfer some of the rights of the person under guardianship to the person caring for him.

The guardian is obliged not only to take care of the elderly citizen (as in the case described above), but also to protect his rights. His responsibilities include:

  • consumer services for the elderly;
  • management of its financial receipts;
  • property management;
  • participation on his behalf in official events, including courts.
Attention: as a rule, guardianship is assigned to people who are unable to care for themselves. Therefore, cohabitation of persons is encouraged.

Are caregivers paid an allowance?


At the legislative level, there is no separate allowance for guardians. These people can count on help from the state if the ward:

  • crossed the 80-year-old threshold;
  • is a disabled person of the 1st group or a disabled child.

At the same time, the guardian has the right to dispose of the following income of the ward:

  • pension accruals;
  • lump sum payments;
  • social benefits.
Important: the use of funds of the person under guardianship is allowed solely for his benefit.

Adoptive family

In many constituent entities of the Russian Federation, such programs have been productively implemented for a long time (for example, in the Republic of Tatarstan, Rostov, Kirov regions, Trans-Baikal Territory, etc.).

General essence: social security authorities enter into an agreement with an elderly person in need of care and a party willing to provide such care - to create a foster family. It prescribes all the basic conditions for actual care:

  • the family’s residential address, its full composition,
  • what specific outside help does the elderly person need (listed), etc.

It is quite logical that all adult members of the caregiver’s family are required to confirm in writing their consent to the creation of a foster family.

Social privilege of caregivers:

  • monthly cash payments, the amount of which averages 3-10 thousand rubles. They are approved by regional parliaments depending on the financial capabilities of the corresponding budget. For older citizens who are officially recognized as needing outside assistance (for example, disabled people of the 1st degree), increased payments are most often provided;
  • benefits for housing and communal services - because Accommodation of an elderly citizen together with a caring party under the terms of the program is mandatory - the latter enjoy all the current benefits (federal/regional level) available to pensioners in the housing and communal services sector. Mainly, this is a 50% discount on housing and communal services payments due to a pensioner who has the status of a veteran, disabled person or other grounds for benefits;
  • free travel when accompanying an elderly person in a city and intercity vehicle - when traveling with him to the place of treatment and back;
  • When registering a pensioner for a foster family, the agreement certainly stipulates the procedure for financing the costs of his maintenance. After that, no more than ¼ of all his income remains at the disposal of the oldest person. The rest goes into the general budget “pot” of the foster family. This means that the caregiver does not spend his personal savings at all.

Other benefits


Elderly people are provided with preferences in various areas:

  1. reduction in tax amount for:
    • transport;
    • land;
    • real estate;
  2. depending on category:
    • to pay for utilities;
    • to receive free spa treatment;
    • use of urban and suburban transport (except taxis).
Important: there are no separate preferences for guardians and caregivers of the elderly. However, in some cases they are entitled not to pay for travel, for example, when accompanied by wards.
