Benefits to Veterans of Labor in 2020

Citizens of the Russian Federation may be awarded the honorary title “Veteran of Labor” if they have special merits in the exercise of labor activity (both during the existence of the Russian Federation and during the USSR). Certain privileges are granted to these persons, the list of which is ratified by local authorities separately in each territorial unit of the Russian Federation. The conditions are being approved in the regions, and they may vary depending on the place of permanent residence and registration of the veteran. In 2020, it is planned to introduce several amendments to the national legislation regulating the status of veterans. However, they will not affect the regulatory documents of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that directly determine the type and size of benefits.

The state policy of social support for veterans of various categories (including labor) is fixed in Federal Law No. 5-ФЗ On Veterans of January 1995. The law clearly states that social protection standards for citizens of the category of labor veterans are approved by laws and regulations subjects of the Russian Federation. The government of each territorial unit of the country has the right to independently develop a regulatory process on the assignment of an honorary status and create a list of social and material benefits. Funds for providing this support are also allocated from local budgets.

Thus, the federal authorities are indirectly related to measures to ensure labor veterans, and establish only general provisions. These include changes that may take effect in 2020.

Registration of an honorary title is made at the place of registration of a citizen in local social protection bodies. It also indicates the list of benefits that a resident of a given region has the right to receive. In case of relocation to another constituent entity of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to re-receive or confirm the honorary title. The new bill provides for the preservation of honorary status regardless of the place of initial registration of a citizen. Moreover, in the event of a change of residence, a citizen has the right to social security established in the new region.

In addition, as early as 2019, a draft law was prepared at the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation that provided for uniform national conditions for labor veterans, on the basis of which they could be ranked as citizens in need of social assistance. When confirming the status of a needy citizen can apply for the appointment of cash benefits. According to the current legislation (Federal Law No. 442 of December 2013 “On the Basics of Social Services ...”), circumstances that are not provided for by the provisions of the basic law and which can worsen or worsen the living conditions of a citizen are regulated by regulatory documents of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Therefore, depending on the region, a labor veteran may be recognized as needy and receive additional payments. When the bill is approved, unified national principles of social services corresponding to the status of needy citizens will be applied to honorable workers.
