Social support measures provided by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation

Social support measures provided Pension Fund Russian Federation, cover the categories of citizens belonging to the “federal” beneficiaries, to whom the Pension Fund appoints and pays monthly cash payments (UDV). For certain categories of citizens, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation establishes additional monthly material support for pensions assigned in accordance with Russian legislation.

Measures of social support for senior citizens established by the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 442-FZ "On the basics of social services for citizens in the Russian Federation", Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 26, 2006 N 1455 "On compensation payments ah to persons caring for disabled citizens", Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 4, 2007 N 343 "On the implementation of monthly compensation payments to non-working able-bodied persons caring for a disabled person of group I (with the exception of disabled people from childhood of group I), as well as for the elderly who, according to the conclusion of a medical institution, need constant outside care or who have reached the age of 80 years, "are also provided by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

Federal Law No. 122-FZ of August 22, 2004 replaced the concept of “benefits” and “social protection measures” in many regulatory legal acts with the term “social support measures”. This law delineated financial obligations for the implementation of social support for the population between the Russian Federation and its constituent entities.

The competence of the Russian Federation includes social support for disabled people and participants in the Great Patriotic War, former juvenile prisoners of fascism, war veterans, etc. treatment or replace them with cash payments.

Financing of measures of social support for labor veterans, victims of political repressions, home front workers, veterans of military service and other categories of the population has been transferred to the level of subjects of the Russian Federation.

Federal Law No. 122-FZ dated August 22, 2004 established that when benefits in kind are replaced by cash compensation, subjects of the Russian Federation and municipalities must comply with the following principles:

Ensure the preservation and possible increase in the previously achieved level of social protection of citizens, taking into account the specifics of their legal, property status, as well as other circumstances;

Provide citizens with the opportunity to adapt to changes within a reasonable transition period by establishing temporary regulation of public relations;

Prevent violation of the rights and freedoms of third parties in the exercise by citizens of social rights and freedoms.

It is very important that students understand the meaning of these principles and be able to reveal their content.

As the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation pointed out, in their constitutional and legal sense, these principles imply the obligation of the Russian Federation to participate in the financing by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation of measures of social support for rehabilitated persons and persons recognized as victims of political repression, at a level not lower than that established in accordance with federal legislation until 01.01.2005 (Determination of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of July 11, 2006 No. 353-O)

In accordance with Article 2 of the Federal Law of November 24, 1995 No. 181-FZ “On the Social Protection of the Disabled in the Russian Federation”, social support refers to a system of measures that ensures social guarantees disabled people, with the exception of pensions. This system is regulated by laws and other normative legal acts. A similar definition is contained in Article 4 of the Law of the Russian Federation of May 15, 1991 N 1244-1 “On the social protection of citizens exposed to radiation due to a disaster at Chernobyl nuclear power plant».

Thus, social support consists in the provision of cash payments or benefits in kind in addition to the main types of social security(pensions, benefits). We should agree with the position of M.V. Filippova. Replacing the concept of "benefits" with the term "social support", which has a different content, "deformed the use in the legislation on social security conceptual apparatus"(Filippova M.V.

(ed.). Social security law. M: Jurist, 2006. P. 412.).

Modern system social support measures apply to certain categories of citizens and include the following types (Appendix. Fig. 43, 44.):

Monthly cash payment;

Other cash payments;

Full or partial exemption from payment of utility and other services;

Set of social services.

Social support measures are provided without taking into account the financial situation of persons entitled to them.
