Today, we are interested in benefits for pensioners in the Moscow region and in Moscow. It is no secret that citizens have more support in the capital than in small regions of the country. Therefore, the benefits here are slightly different. In total, there are two types of state support - federal and regional. We will study all the benefits available to Muscovites for senior citizens. Most of them relate to federal capabilities.
About retirement age
In Russia, men retire at the age of 60 and women at the age of 55. At the same time, many citizens continue to work. We will talk about unemployed older people.
When studying the benefits of pensioners in the Moscow region, it is important to pay attention to their status. A citizen may be:
- Veteran
- employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- military;
- disabled person.
All this has a certain impact on state support. The bulk of pensioners-beneficiaries are disabled veterans. We will give them preference.
Taxes
Tax benefits for pensioners in the Moscow Region are offered at the federal level. Mentioned citizens can count on the following benefits:
- exemption from property taxes;
- freedom from personal income tax with respect to certain types of income;
- deduction when calculating land tax (10 thousand rubles);
- vehicle tax reduction.
In some cases, the vehicle tax may be waived altogether. Typically, such opportunities are offered to the military, veterans and the disabled.
Public transport
Benefits for working pensioners in the Moscow region are not too different from bonuses offered to unemployed old people. The difference is only in labor benefits. And nothing more.
In Moscow and the Moscow Region, older people can use suburban and city transport for free. Or receive compensation for the fare. The only exceptions are taxis — they pay for them at the full rate.
In addition, our category of beneficiaries has the right to purchase tickets for ships, trains, trains and planes in advance, and even with discounts. Usually the fare is reduced by 1/2.
Some older people can travel by train for free. But this is a rather rare occurrence.
Housing and utilities
Different benefits are offered to non-working pensioners in the Moscow Region. Including in the field of housing. What are they expressed in?
For example, citizens in need can receive free housing from the state. Most often, a social employment contract is concluded with them with a further possibility of privatization.
In addition, in the field of public services, pensioners have many benefits. These include:
- reduction of bills for the "communal" from 50%;
- reduction of not less than half the cost of fuel for home stoves;
- the ability to install a home landline telephone without queues and at no cost;
- assistance during all the necessary communications to the house;
- compensation for using a home telephone.
All of these bonuses apply to families of pensioners, if relatives live together. Seniors are exempted from overhaul fees for homes after 80 years. Until this time, pensioners are entitled to compensation.
Payouts
Benefits for pensioners in the Moscow region do not end there. The thing is that in the capital and in its region, citizens are entitled to small allowances.
Namely:
- additional payments, the amount of which is annually indexed and changed (about 1-2 thousand rubles);
- pension increases to a living wage.
It is easy to guess that regional payments are due to everyone. And the allowance up to the subsistence level is drawn up only for needy non-working pensioners. Similar practice exists in all regions of the Russian Federation.
Medical service
Elderly people are those who need medical care more than others. With age, the human body does not grow younger, which forces pensioners to often visit clinics and pharmacies.
The benefits for pensioners in the Moscow region in the field of medicine are as follows:
- payment of travel to the place of treatment;
- service in state clinics is free;
- the adoption of certain categories of senior citizens out of turn by all doctors;
- gratuitous services in orthopedics and prosthetics.
In some medical centers, you can even install dentures for free. But in Moscow and Moscow Region there is no such possibility. Unless in isolated cases in private clinics. You need to find out about this at a specific medical center.
If a citizen spends on prostheses and rehabilitation materials, he is entitled to pay the corresponding amount from the country's budget. It is enough to present evidence of the costs incurred.
For single
What can a single pensioner in the Moscow Region count on? Benefits to such citizens are offered in large volumes.
State support is expressed in the following:
- nurse highlighting;
- the definition of a person in a boarding house or nursing home;
- targeted assistance.
Of course, all other benefits to lonely old people are also fully provided. The main thing is to arrange them.
Other
We studied the main benefits for pensioners in the Moscow region. What else can this segment of the population count on?
The following support methods are found today:
- the right to free access to cultural and entertainment centers;
- issuance of tickets to the sanatorium once a year with payment of fare;
- targeted assistance;
- clothing assistance to the needy.
All this is due to retired persons. Non-working citizens have more chances to apply for additional benefits than those who are employed. In particular, due to the availability of salaries.
For workers
But we will not forget about working pensioners. This category of persons has a special position in society.
Benefits to pensioners in the Moscow region and in Moscow, as well as in other regions of the country, are distinguished by the following:
- the right to additional leave at their own expense;
- registration of annual paid leave at the time chosen by the pensioner;
- training and professional development at the expense of the employer.
It's all. Some believe that retirees should not work 14 days for dismissal, but this is not the case. The dismissal of an elderly person occurs in the same way as in the case of a young employee. Pensioners have no special rights in this area.
