Survivor benefits. The procedure for applying for a survivor's pension - the necessary documents. Under what conditions do pensions begin to be paid?

The state supports disabled people who have lost their only source of income. Under certain conditions, they are awarded a survivor's insurance benefit. One of the main conditions for receiving state support from the Pension Fund (PFR) budget is the fact that the deceased has insurance. The size of the survivor's pension depends on this. Let's look at what benefits citizens can claim in 2020.

How is the amount of payments determined?

Survivor's insurance benefits are essentially compensation for lost income. This is one way to implement social function states. After all, it guarantees its citizens protection under special conditions. This is exactly what a person who does not have the opportunity to earn money on their own falls into.

The list of persons entitled to apply for insurance support is contained in Article 10 of Law No. 400-FZ, signed on December 28, 2013. In particular, these include:

minors;
children of the deceased studying full-time until their 23rd birthday;
parents and spouses who do not have the opportunity to earn money;
other disabled relatives;
persons caring for young (under 14 years old) children of the deceased supporter.

Important: for persons involved in caring for young children, official employment is unacceptable. Download for viewing and printing:

What does the accrual depend on?

According to the methodology in force for 2020, this manual consists of two parts:

fixed;
insurance.

The following factors influence the amount of charges:

the number of individual coefficients earned by the deceased person in the pension insurance system;
the length of the period during which the enterprise administration made contributions to the Pension Fund for this worker.

Important: there is also accumulative part pensions. It is also paid to the heirs specified in Article 10 of the mentioned normative act. However, the methods for obtaining such savings are somewhat different from the purpose of insurance content for loss.

Fixed part of charges

This component of the content is established by the Government of the Russian Federation. Its value is expressed in a fixed amount. It is also increased annually by government decree. The value of the fixed component is influenced by the inflation indicator for the previous period.

In addition, this part of the benefit in some cases increases legally. Namely:

for orphans, the established indicator of the fixed component is doubled;
in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas, the corresponding coefficient is applied.

As of January 1, 2019, the volume of the fixed part was equal to 2667.09 rubles. (50% of RUB 5,334.19) for each disabled relative/family member.

New formula for calculating survivor's insurance pension

The two components of pension accruals are clearly visible in the formula for calculating it. She is like this:

RPpk = IPC x SK + BV, where:
RPpk - the amount of accruals paid to the recipient;
IPC - individual coefficients accumulated in the system by the deceased;
SC - the equivalent of one coefficient in rubles, established on the day of calculation;
BV - basic or fixed component.

Thus, the accruals depend on how much the citizen who gave the right to them officially worked. Contributions to the Pension Fund transferred by the enterprise for it were converted into IPC or points. The benefit for the abandoned dependent directly depends on their number.

Important: in some cases the IPC increases. This happens to the following persons:

When calculating the pension provision for orphans, the IPC of the parents is added up.
For a child of a deceased single mother, a rule has been established to double the IPC.

Latest news about the restoration of indexation in full

In 2016, the increase in base accruals was carried out at a level that did not reach the general inflationary background of the previous period. In this regard, pensioners in January 2017 received 5 thousand rubles as compensation. This measure was associated with serious problems of the federal budget.

However, the prospects for slight economic growth made it possible for the authorities to return to the previously established procedure for compensating citizens for loss of income associated with inflation processes.

In 2017, social payments were indexed by 5.8%. This figure is fully consistent with last year's inflation. In 2018, the price of one point was 81.49 rubles.

In 2019 the cost is 1 pension point was indexed in January and amounted to 87.24 rubles.

How to calculate the amount of future payment

To determine the accruals, the applicant must apply the formula (given above). In this case, current data regarding fixed indicators should be taken into account. Namely:

BV - 2667.09 rub.
SK - 87.24 rub.

The indicated components of the formula are also not a constant. Their data is established for a certain period. IN in this case The figures for 2019 are shown.

Attention: the IPC indicator is individual. It can be found at your local Pension Fund branch.

An example of calculating insurance benefits associated with the loss of a survivor

Citizen N., born in 1964, has been officially employed since 1984. In March 2019, she died in an accident. She left two children:

son, born in 1985, military man, born in marriage;
daughter, born in 2003, schoolgirl, the father is indicated on the birth certificate according to the mother.

Taking into account the current legislation, the minor daughter of a deceased single mother receives the right to insurance benefits in connection with the loss of a breadwinner.

The benefit is calculated using the above formula. At the same time, Pension Fund employees take into account the IPC indicators accumulated by the deceased mother:

for the period of work from 1984 to 2015, points were converted. Citizen N. scored 60 points;
for 2015 and 2016 - 3 and 3.4, respectively;
an additional 3 points were added. for periods of child care up to one and a half years.

Thus, the total sum of the individual coefficients of citizen N. was:

60 b. + 3 b. + 3.4 b. + 3 b. = 69.4 b.

They double because the child was raised by a single mother:

69.4 b. x 2 = 138.8 b.

The specific amount of payment to the daughter is determined by the formula:

138.8 b. x 87.24 rub. + 2667.09 rub. = 14776 rub.

Attention: the calculated benefit indicator is necessarily compared with the amount living wage in the region.

The family of citizen N. lived in the Astrakhan region. For children in this region the minimum is set at 8476 rubles. The estimated amount is higher than this figure. Consequently, N.’s daughter will not receive an additional social supplement.

Minimum amount of insurance benefit in connection with the loss of a breadwinner

The practice of calculating insurance pensions for dependents of deceased people has shown that its value is quite low. Regulatory documents establish the rule. It reads:

the amount of insurance content associated with the loss of a breadwinner cannot be less than the subsistence level established for a given region.

Thus, the amounts vary depending on the territory. In addition, they depend on the age of the recipient. For example, some data is shown in the table below:

Attention: a social supplement is established for insurance content that does not reach the subsistence level. The source of its financing is the federal budget.

No special application to the Pension Fund is required to receive social benefits. In the initial application there is a column in which the citizen agrees with the allowance.

When are assigned amounts recalculated?

Operations to change the amount of accruals are carried out if the Pension Fund receives new information that affects the indicators from the formula. Moreover, this can happen either on the initiative of the recipient or without his participation.

In particular, recalculation is carried out:

When the next government decree on indexing key indicators is adopted.
If the Pension Fund receives information about new insurance premiums paid to the personal account of a deceased person. Operations for their accounting are carried out from August 1 of the period following the date of receipt of information.
If the recipient proactively provides information that affects the amount of charges. They are taken into account from the first day of the month following the date of receipt of documents by the Pension Fund.

Attention: when making recalculations, additional IPCs are taken into account:

in total for orphans;
double the amount for children of single mothers.

In January 2019, another indexation of insurance pensions was carried out in the amount of 7.05%.

Social pension for dependents

In cases where a deceased citizen was not insured in the national pension insurance system, his dependents are assigned a different payment. It is called a social pension. The amount of such benefit is fixed. It is established by Law No. 166-FZ of December 15, 2001. The amount is indexed annually. Payments come from the federal budget.

On April 1, 2019, the last indexation of social payments was carried out. The amount of pensions associated with the loss of a breadwinner was fixed at the level:

a child who has lost one of his parents - 5283.84 rubles;
children - orphans or who have lost a single mother - 10,567.73 rubles;
other disabled citizens - 5283.84 rubles.

The death of a close relative is always a great tragedy. And if he was also a breadwinner, then, among other things, the possibility of obtaining a means of subsistence is lost. In this regard, the state takes upon itself the protection of the dependents of the deceased and pays them monetary compensation. About what minimum pension for the loss of a breadwinner is paid in the current year, as well as the features of its calculation and other nuances are discussed in the article. The specific amount of payments depends on various factors and is set directly by the state.

Types of pensions

Payment in connection with the loss of a breadwinner is:

State.
Insurance.
Social.

On state pension can count disabled citizens, who are family members of military personnel and astronauts who died while performing their duties.

The insurance payment is assigned to those who were on material support the deceased, if the latter has accumulated sufficient experience for this. However, if the person was involved in the death of the breadwinner, then the insurance payment will no longer be accrued to him. However, in this case the dependent can only receive a social pension.

Social benefits are also accrued if the deceased does not have the minimum insurance period.

Features of accrual

Each type of pension has its own characteristics.

The insurance payment helps to obtain a livelihood for disabled persons who have lost their main source of financial support. The same pension is accrued to citizens who have reached the age of retirement according to the law, as well as to disabled people who have worked for any period of time.

The survivor's pension in 2018 is calculated on the basis of insurance contributions made by the deceased's employer, as well as the pension points accumulated by him. These indicators add up if the child has lost both parents. Orphans are sent to orphanage or they are taken under guardianship or trusteeship, and at the same time the corresponding pension is retained for them.

Insurance payments are calculated as follows:

Automatically for minors.
Minimum pensions sufficient to meet basic needs.
In some cases, they are paid to the widow after her remarriage.

The social pension is calculated every month, and only for the period during which the citizen is disabled. This payment does not depend on what contributions were transferred to the Pension Fund. It is formed on the basis of the state budget for the current year.

Who can apply for a pension

Recipients of a survivor's pension are certain categories of persons provided for by law. In 2018, this right applies to:

Children under the age of majority who are close relatives of the deceased (grandchildren, sisters or brothers and, of course, their own children).
Persons under 23 years of age studying in educational institutions full-time students - students.
Adult children can apply for a survivor's pension if they became disabled before the age of 18.
Parents or guardians of the deceased who are retired or disabled.

State payments are allocated for the following categories of persons:

Both minors and parents on the same conditions as provided for the insurance pension.
Grandparents caring for children under fourteen years of age (regardless of length of service).
Widows of military personnel who died in the line of duty (when women reach retirement age and subject to non-remarriage).

The survivor's pension is awarded to family members of those who died in the Chernobyl accident, namely:

A widow caring for a child under 14 years of age, regardless of whether or not she has work experience.
For a widow upon reaching retirement age, no matter how much time has elapsed since the death of her husband.
To parents.

The period for which the payment is issued lasts differently depending on the category of persons, namely:

Children, grandchildren, sisters and brothers up to the age of majority or up to 23 years of age in full-time education.
Close relatives of adult age, if they are disabled and have documentary evidence of this fact.
Disabled children for life.
Widows, parents, and grandparents of retirement age for life.

Conditions of receipt

In the event of the loss of a breadwinner, it occurs on the basis of a decision made after the death of the breadwinner, if this fact is documented (by a death certificate or a court decision declaring a person missing). In addition, the applicant for financial support must prove that he was dependent on the breadwinner. This does not need to be done if the payment is intended for minors.

In addition, you must present a document confirming your permanent actual residence in Russia. Compliance with these conditions entitles you to receive financial support from the state.

Transfer methods

The survivor's pension can be transferred to the recipient's bank account or card. The payment is transferred by the territorial branch of the fund on the day the funds are received. No commissions are charged on these funds.

Payments can be transferred to the post office where the pensioner is registered. You can also order delivery of pensions to your home according to a convenient schedule. Having chosen the most suitable method, the pensioner must notify the Pension Fund about this. This can be done via an electronic message via the Internet (on the State Services website) or directly in the application when submitting documents.

The payment intended for the child is transferred to the account of the parent or adoptive parent. But, starting from the age of 14, a child has the right to receive monetary compensation independently.

Documents

To receive a pension, you need to prepare a whole package of documents. These include the following:

Identity card.
Certificate of death of the breadwinner or a court decision declaring missing.
Document on the birth of children.
About adoption or guardianship.
About marriage or its dissolution.
Certificate from the university confirming completion of full-time studies.

Application deadlines

After the documents have been accepted by the Pension Fund employee, they are checked and the application is considered within ten days. After this period, a survivor's pension is issued. If additional documents are required, the applicant is given 3 months to submit them. If the Pension Fund is contacted within a period not exceeding 1 year from the date of death of the breadwinner, then the payment is accrued from this date.

Social and state payments are transferred from the 1st day of the month when documents were submitted. Naturally, this may not be before the appearance of the corresponding rights, that is, the death of the breadwinner. To an applicant who has reached retirement age, this compensation is paid indefinitely.

Registration

The survivor's pension will begin to be paid in 2018 on the basis of an application submitted to the Pension Fund office at the place of registration (temporary or permanent). On behalf of minors, their legal representatives act: a parent, guardian or adoptive parent. You can submit your application as follows:

In electronic form on the State Services website.
At the MFC.
By power of attorney, certified by a notary and provided by a representative.
By sending a letter by mail.
When visiting a fund branch in person.

Payment amount

The formation and payment of a pension is carried out in certain time periods, depending on its type and specific circumstances relating to the deceased breadwinner and recipient. Despite the initial determination of the size of the survivor's pension, over time, depending on the economic situation and the length of service of the breadwinner, the amount may decrease or, conversely, increase.

Indexing

People faced with a similar situation may be interested in the question of what the minimum survivor pension is now established and how payments were indexed this year. Insurance benefits increased in February, and state and social benefits increased by 3.7% in April. For internal affairs employees, the indexation will also be 3.7%, although previously it was calculated based on 5.8%. It is most convenient to display this data with specific amounts in the following table.

Type of pension	Size at the beginning of the year	Size after indexing
Insurance	The amount depends on the length of service of the deceased, to which a fixed payment of 2,279 rubles is added.	Since February 1, the amount has increased and amounted to 2,498 rubles.
Social	Before indexation, compensation was paid in the amount of 5,034 rubles, and in the event of the death of two parents or a mother with single status, the amount doubles	From April 1, compensation began to be paid in the amount of 7,586 rubles, but if two parents or a mother with single status were lost, the amount increased to 10,472 rubles.
State due to the death of a military man	In case of death due to illness, the benefit was 7,551 rubles, and in case of death due to injuries in service - 10,068 rubles.	From April 1, the payment was 7,830 rubles in the first case, and 10,440 rubles in the second.
Due to the death of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs	The amount in this case is the same as in the case of the death of a military man, namely 7,551 rubles. and 10,068 rub. respectively	From April 1, payments increased and amounted to 7,830 rubles. and 10,440 rub.

Additional payments

A pensioner whose benefit is less than the subsistence level (in short, LM) established in the region is provided with a minimum survivor's pension equal to the subsistence level. In other words, an additional payment is made up to this level. It can be allocated from the regional or federal budget.

If the cost of living has increased only slightly, then the additional payment is assessed by the social security authority. The corresponding amounts are received from the federal budget if the payment is below the level established in the country. Able-bodied citizens who receive are paid up to the average salary.

Will they get paid if I get a job?

It was said above that social benefits are accrued for the purpose of material support for loved ones left without a breadwinner. That is, it is assumed that they cannot support themselves on their own. This is also stated in the law on state provision pension No. 166-FZ dated December 15, 2001. According to Art. 11 of this law, social benefits are assigned only to disabled citizens.

Moreover, if a citizen who has reached retirement age gets a job, he will lose this pension. The pensioner must contact the Pension Fund himself and report his employment so that the payment will be stopped in the future.

Conclusion

The state guarantees financial support to persons left without a breadwinner. For this purpose, the following types of pension are paid: insurance, social or state. She may have different sizes and accrue for life or for a certain period. But the minimum survivor's pension should be set in an amount not less than the monthly minimum. If the calculation results in an amount that is less than this indicator, then an additional payment is made from federal or regional budget funds.

It is appointed due to the death of a citizen who financially supported his child, spouse or parent. They have the right to receive it even if they were not considered dependents of the deceased or missing.

In all other situations, you will have to submit certificates to the fund confirming that the person who left or went missing was the only source of income. If a spouse is left without a livelihood, they will also receive such assistance from the state.

The breadwinner is the person who:

provides a livelihood for their loved ones;
provides not only financially, but also in everyday life - cleaning, washing, cooking, organizing everyday life. That is, he does all the work that his ward cannot do due to illness or infirmity;
performs sincere wishes– conducts conversations, listens, gives advice, etc.

How much is the survivor's pension?

The indicator was indexed on 04/2018. Today it is at least 5,180.65 rubles. It is paid to representatives if they do not have a single day of insurance experience.

The amount for each is calculated based on the individual coefficient that the deceased “accumulated” and the cost of 1 coefficient.
If the breadwinner receives funds for old age or health, then the amounts will be calculated differently.

One of the varieties is government benefits. They are guaranteed if the breadwinner:

passed military service and died while performing his duties or died from illness. The insurance period in this case is not taken into account;
suffered from radiation and man-made disasters, as a result of which he became disabled;
was an astronaut.

Dependents of the missing person receive funds for him. This type can be applied for each member if the applicant was a disabled dependent. What value will be in this case? Depends on what old age support was previously present.

Social support can be provided to disabled people or a disabled family if they were not dependents. The volume is fixed in each region of the Russian Federation.

The amount directly depends on wages. One minor child or a family member has the right to expect to receive 50% of the average earnings for the last 5 years.

If there are two disabled people, then the maintenance increases to 100% accordingly. Intermediate level is 9 thousand rubles.

How is it calculated?

Performed monthly until the 25th, every month as long as the disability continues. If the visitor is old man, then he will qualify for income for life.

The indexation process is exactly the same as the fixed amount - 2 times a year:

February 1 for the increase in prices of the consumer basket;
April 1 at the expense of income.

In 2018, the average size is about 10-12 thousand rubles. The right to such payment remains if the spouse enters into a new marriage. The payment will remain only if the marriage was registered after the appointment.

Who is entitled to a pension

Special types are listed in Art. 10 of the Law “On Insurance...” No. 400-FZ. These include:

minors. This concept includes not only the natural son or daughter of the object, but also those whom he adopted by law, as well as his younger sisters/ brothers, grandchildren / granddaughters who have not reached the 18-year mark, are unemployed and are not able to finance themselves;
the same category, but if they are not yet 23 years old, and they are studying full-time at an educational institution, and, therefore, are not able to finance themselves;
the natural son or daughter of the object (or legally adopted by him), who have already reached 23 years of age, but are unable to find a job due to health problems, as evidenced by the presence of restrictions. As for this category, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the problems must be identified to him before he comes of age. Regarding younger brothers/ sisters, grandchildren / granddaughters, who, like relatives / adopted children, have physical limitations and cannot support themselves, they will count on receiving it if they are not supported by another person;
the spouse of a citizen, his parents or adult brothers/sisters who carry out actual supervision of minors. Then only one will claim, who cares for children under 14 years of age. If there are several of them, then these payments are paid until the youngest reaches 14 years of age. In this case, only those who care for minors and do not have a personal source of income will provide maintenance;
relatives who are on vacation or have a disability and they have no others obligated to support them by law, that is, until their death, they were fully provided for by the deceased;
stepfather (stepfather) or mother (stepmother) who have been dependent for the last five years or more. These facts must be confirmed;
stepdaughter or stepson, if it is proven that the stepparent raised and supported for a long time.

Everything is formalized in the Pension Fund department at the place of residence. It is important to provide evidence confirming the relationship and that the deceased or missing person was the only provider.

Assignment of pension

The process occurs in 2 stages:

purpose of the fixed part. It depends on the category. Its size is established at the legislative level;
second part. It is calculated using a special formula. As a result, the applicant will expect an amount that is the sum of these two equal ones.

Completion of the appointment does not mean that the applicant does not have the right to apply for another type. But only certain people will use 2 sources at the same time. These include:

injured while defending their homeland, and, as a result, registered as disabled;
WWII participants;
widows of defenders who left in the performance of their duty;
family members of a Chernobyl survivor or liquidator of the consequences of the accident who are unable to work;
astronaut families;
awarded the Order "Resident of besieged Leningrad".

Registration of pension

For this type of assistance, you should contact the territorial office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the applicant’s place of residence. Pension Fund employees will tell you exactly what papers are needed, based on the category of the deceased.

You need to apply as quickly as possible after losing your sponsor and preparing all required certificates. A decision on approval or refusal will be made within 10 days after submission. If it is positive, then the funds will be transferred to the account in full size from the moment the citizen leaves, and not from the moment of filing.

In order for the Pension Fund to make a positive decision, the applicant must submit a package of documents, which includes:

documents of all disabled people. This is a passport or birth certificate;
copies indicating earnings for the last 5 years;
court certificate of death. The court decision must contain a “living” seal;
a copy confirming that the subject carried out labor activities. For civilians this is work book, and for warriors - the corresponding ticket;
if he had children, then their passports (if they are already 14 years old) or birth certificates (if they are not yet 14 years old) are required.

The authority may request the following certificates:

a document indicating that the deceased cared for the person;
packages of papers confirming adoption;
if you had the status of a single mother, then you must submit the corresponding certificate issued by the social protection department;
certificate from the place of study. It is necessary if the applicant is a full-time student at an educational institution, and, as a result, he does not have the opportunity to support himself;
if the applicant is able to work and is unable to support himself or herself due to caring for a disabled minor, then it is necessary to present documents confirming this fact;
medical reports confirming the presence of problems.

Loss of a serviceman's breadwinner

This type of social assistance is paid to close people:

officers;
midshipmen;
soldier;
warrant officers.

Only those who include:

children, both minors and those who have reached the age of 18, but studying full-time at an educational institution. That is, these are children who cannot work and provide for themselves;
other minors or subjects who have reached 23 years of age, but under the same conditions as the natural children of the deceased. These include brothers/sisters, grandchildren/granddaughters;
spouse;
mother/father;
grandparents, if they depended on the deceased;
able-bodied subjects, but not working due to the fact that they are raising minor relatives of the deceased.

The above are claimed if the warrior is killed:

when performing one's duty or during defense;
for three months after completion of the passage;
any object if it died from disease, injury or wound while performing its functions;
no later than five years after completion of financing.

The type of service itself (contract or conscription) does not affect the payment. It also affects the size. If the deceased committed a crime, as determined by the court, then dependents are provided with social support.

If a defender goes missing, and this fact is established by the court, then this is equivalent to the death of a military man, and his relatives can apply.

The value of this assistance depends on two factors:

the cause that caused death;
type of service

Family members of officers and soldiers who worked under a contract and who died have the right to take a pension directly proportional to their monetary allowance, that is:

50% if as a result of wounds and injuries;
40% of the salary if the death occurred as a result of illness at work.

The amount of benefits that relatives of conscripts will be able to claim depends on the social reward. This:

200% if the loss occurred due to injury during military service;
150% if the conscript died from illnesses that he developed during the performance of his duty.

Mother's bereavement pension

Mother - close person, regardless of any status. According to Art. 10 of Law No. 400-FZ, such people have the right to money if they do not work and were dependent. That is, if the mother is elderly and he fully provided for her financially, then she will receive maintenance.

According to current legislation, parents will acquire the right to support in the following cases:

there is a “disabled person” status, and it is constantly confirmed;
they provide actual care for the loved one of the deceased, who was supported by him financially. The age of this person must not exceed 14 years;
the mother has reached the age of 55 years, and the father has reached 60 years, that is, the age when Russian citizens, on a general basis, go on vacation in old age.

When the mother of the deceased contacts the authority, she will have to submit papers that will confirm one of the above facts.

Minimum pension

The indicator was last indexed on 04/01/2018. This value is fixed and established by the Government of the Russian Federation for a certain period. From 01/01/2018, the minimum fixed threshold is 3,626.31 rubles. It is paid to children if one of their parents has died. If both, and the child remained in the care of others - 2 times more - 7,253.43 rubles. At the beginning of April, another indexation planned by the state took place. The indexation percentage was 2.9% and now amounts to 5,180.65 rubles.

If the applicant lives in the Far North region or in an area with a similar status, then the income will be increased by the regional coefficient that applies to this territory.

As already mentioned, it consists of two quantities:

fixed;
another component, which is calculated using a special formula. This insurance part, and it corresponds to the length of service of the deceased.

The longer the insurance period, the higher the value. The accrual may be increased:

2 times if the child remains with his mother and father or will be raised only by a single mother. As soon as she gets married, the child can expect support in a single multiplier;
by the regional coefficient if the applicant lives in the Far North or in an area with similar conditions.
