By May 9, 2020, veterans of the Great Patriotic War, as well as home front workers, will receive a lump sum payment towards their pension . It is noteworthy that previously such payments amounted to 10 thousand rubles, and in 2020 they will be significantly increased in connection with the 75th anniversary of the Victory. The law on the PFR budget for 2020 will be amended and 60 billion rubles will be allocated for these purposes, as already announced by the head of the PFR, Maxim Topilin.
In 2020, payments will be received in an increased amount: veterans will receive 75 thousand rubles each, and home front workers will receive 50 thousand rubles each. A statement about such payments was made by President V. Putin on January 18, 2020.
On February 7, 2020, V. Putin signed Decree No. 100 on making one-time payments for Victory Day in 2020 (text of the Decree below).
Presidential Decree on payments for the 75th anniversary of the Victory
In addition, one-time payments for Victory Day can be established by regional authorities . For example, in 2020, the Moscow Government adopted Order No. 99-RP dated March 12, 2019, which approved the provision of financial assistance to certain categories of veterans living in Moscow.
What is the payment amount?
An additional payment to the pension is expected for Russian citizens living, including in the territory of Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. The payments were first mentioned in January 2020 in St. Petersburg, at a Government meeting on the occasion of the 77th anniversary of the breakthrough of the besieged Leningrad.
Until 2020, the benefit amount did not exceed 10,000 rubles. The decree was signed on February 7 this year. The total amount of payments is more than 60 billion rubles.
Who will be paid 75,000 rudds
- Disabled people of the Great Patriotic War.
- Persons who took part in hostilities.
- Citizens who received the award “Resident of besieged Leningrad.”
- Citizens subjected to forced detention in ghettos and other places created by the Nazis.
- Widowed citizens of military personnel who died during the Soviet-Finnish, Japanese, and Patriotic wars.
- Widowed citizens of deceased disabled people and persons who took part in hostilities.

Which pensioners will receive additional payment by May 9, 2020
Only citizens of the Russian Federation can receive additional payment . In addition, they must permanently reside in Russia or the Baltic countries (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia). Typically, only those directly involved in hostilities received lump sum payments by May 9. However, in accordance with Putin’s Decree on increasing the amount of payments in 2020, the list of recipients of such payments will be adjusted.
From the text of the Decree it follows that the following categories of citizens will receive payments:
- 75 thousand rubles each: disabled people of the Second World War, veterans of the Second World War, listed in paragraphs. 1-3 p. 1 tbsp. 2 Federal Law No. 5 of January 12, 1995, as well as widows and widowers of war participants, former minor prisoners.
- 50 thousand rubles each: home front workers, adult prisoners.
Conclusions and recommendations
- It is necessary to check whether the pensioner belongs to the category of citizens noted in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 02/07/2020.
- If the citizen is a person for whom payments are provided, an additional payment should be expected before retirement in May. Some people already received it in April.
- If the additional payment has not been received, and the citizen considers himself a person to whom payments are due, he should immediately contact the Pension Fund authorities at his place of residence by telephone or through a personal visit.

I view this as an imitation of an increase in material support for veterans, artificially tied to Victory Day. Do the authors of this operation really take the veterans for suckers who are ready to buy this handout?answer

answer
I took part in the fighting on Damansky Island in 1969 and have a WWII training certificate. Based on Putin’s Decree No. 186 of April 24, 2019 on the payment of 10 thousand rubles by Victory Day. and Federal Law No. 5 dated January 12, 1995, can I receive these payments? Because The local PF refused me that only those who fought from 1941-1945 can receive it.

That's right, only those who fought in '41-45 receive the payment.
answer
No, that's not true. In Appendix 1 to Federal Law No. 5, the period is 41-45. listed in along with other periods of hostilities from the Civil War and including Damansky. The participants in these battles are all participants in the Second World War. The Decree does not contain any instructions on periods of hostilities, therefore, they should all be taken into account equally. Participants in the courts are seeking the required payments, as newspapers write about, in particular Kommersant and KP.
answer
You must receive these payments. The refusal of the PFR branch is unfounded, and there are already court decisions in favor of the participants of the Second World War. My father has the same situation, only he took part in the battles in Hungary in 1956. You need to submit an application to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, but they refuse everyone who fought after 1945, and with this refusal go to the prosecutor, and then to court. I also want to ask the President this question, but most likely I will have to demand it through the courts. In a neighboring city, a WWII participant liquidated the Bandera underground in 1951 and achieved payment.

What about in Russia?
In Russia, the greatest merits of Soviet soldiers (home front workers) are not only not questioned, on the contrary, from year to year the significance of their feat is increasingly emphasized, and the victory over fascism itself is celebrated more and more magnificently each time. But behind this abundance of beautiful words and festive fireworks, have we forgotten those to whom, in fact, we owe this victory?
The few still living members of the labor front are offended. Although formally the definition of war veterans in Russian legislation is preserved for all persons who forged victory, the concept of “home front workers”, which appeared in 2000, significantly narrowed the benefits of the latter. In particular, a significant pension supplement has disappeared, as well as benefits in the provision of medical care and the purchase of medicines.
It would not be true to say that these people in Russia are not cared for at all - they are entitled to certain payments and other privileges. But a significant part of the benefits is provided not from the federal, but from the municipal budget, and its possibilities in different regions can vary significantly. And payments to veterans are not too large. Heroic work could well have been valued more expensively - the country would hardly have become poorer!
Types of assistance to rear workers
There are different types of assistance to the rear in the Second World War. Let's look at them in more detail.
Attention! It happens that a citizen simultaneously has the status of a home front worker in the Second World War and a veteran. In this case, he must choose which of the two statuses to receive benefits. If the citizen himself cannot decide, the choice is made automatically. A more advantageous status is selected.
Regional privileges
Regional benefits include:
- home assistance from social workers;
- extraordinary registration in a nursing home or home for the disabled;
- extraordinary admission to non-profit partnerships;
- one-time benefits;
- free travel on water, rail, and public transport (if you have a certificate);
- admission to social protection out of turn;
- compensation for using a landline telephone;
- discount on housing and communal services.
Medical service
Medical benefits include:
- free treatment;
- discount on medicines in the amount of half the price (with a prescription);
- sanatorium treatment (in medical direction);
- subsidies for dentures (government institutions only).
Attention! Home front workers must get to the location of the sanatorium for free. Important! If a citizen refuses sanatorium treatment, he is paid compensation in the amount of 1000 rubles.
Compensation and EDV
Every home front worker has the right to a monthly cash payment. Its size increases every year.
EDV is issued by local social security authorities. The following documents are required for registration:
- statement;
- identification;
- certificate of status “home front worker”;
- SNILS;
- TIN;
- If a citizen wants the payment to go to his personal bank account, bank details are required.
The final list of benefits provided is determined by local authorities. For a particular person it depends on:
- age;
- length of service;
- availability of awards;
- region of residence.
Important! In order to obtain the right to free travel, a citizen must obtain a special social card.
Home front workers have the right to be granted leave annually, during a period that they themselves choose. The vacation period is 35 days. In this case, wages are not retained.
