Hello.

On January 1, 2016, a bill establishing two payments to spouses of deceased military pensioners came into force. According to its provisions, persons can receive accruals that are carried out by the Ministry of Defense Russian Federation, and also insurance pension. The first payments are made to widows or widowers of persons who received payments either for long service or for disability. In the second case, accruals are made if the military pensioner had grounds for receiving it due to age or disability.

Receiving a second pension by a widow or widower of the specified category is possible if the following conditions are met:

The military pensioner died while the funds were being transferred to him.
The cause of death was illness, concussion, injury, or other injuries received by the person during his military service.
The widow (widower) of the deceased is also on an old age or disability pension, or has a dependent child who has not yet reached the age of fourteen.
The widow (widower) turned 50 years old.
The spouse of a military pensioner has the right to apply for a survivor's pension if she has a dependent child of eight years of age or less.
So, if the above conditions are met, you are fully entitled to receive the deceased military retiree's second pension. But what is needed for this and where should a widow turn?

Where to go and what documents are needed

If you are applying for a state pension, the corresponding application and a photocopy of the supporting document are sent by registered mail to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Other documents.

Currently, the spouse of a military personnel who died while performing a duty assignment can receive pension payments. Accrual procedure pension payments has a number of nuances, which will be discussed in this article.

Conditions for granting a pension to widows

The widow of a former military man can receive pension contributions if the spouse held one of the following positions:

• officer;
• ensign;
• midshipman;
• a serviceman who served as a contact (sailor, petty officer and other employees);
• Russian customs officer and so on. The full list is enshrined in Federal Law No. 4468-1 dated February 12, 1993.

Payments to widows can be of the following types:

• pension contributions;
• supplement to pension;
• child benefit;
• compensation for utilities.

Pension payments are accrued to the widow if the following conditions are met:

1. The death of the spouse occurred while performing an official assignment or due to an injury received during service or 3 months after transfer to the reserve.
2. The former military man received a long-service (or disability) pension.
3. The widow has no official place of work.
4. The widow's age is 55 years or older.

In addition, there are two categories of payments, namely:

Pension from the Ministry of Defense

In this case, pension contributions are assigned if the deceased received a pension for long service (or disability).

If a military man became disabled during his service and died due to this pathology, in this situation the widow can receive a pension if the following criteria are met:

• the age of the wife of a former military man is 50 years;
• the child of the deceased serviceman is not yet 8 years old.

After joining new marriage, the widow's pension remains unchanged! Termination of pension contributions occurs in the event of official employment of the widow!

Civil allowances for widows of military personnel

Additional payments reimbursed when a deceased member of the armed forces received an old-age (or disability) pension.

How can a widow receive pension payments?

To receive a pension, the widow must perform the following algorithm of actions:

1. Visit the military commissariat for registration. The applicant must have a passport, an order, a personal file of the deceased, and a military ID.
2. Contact the Pension Fund(Pension Fund). To the Fund's office, the widow must provide an application in the established form, as well as submit the following package of documents (it is worth providing copies and originals):
   • passport details;
   • a certificate confirming the death of the spouse;
   • birth certificate of minor children;
   • a document confirming relationship with the deceased;
   • documentation on the assignment of the deceased’s pension;
   • a certificate confirming the fact of caring for the child;
   • service record of a military man.
3. Receive pension payments. Documentation review period - 10 days.

The pension is paid during the period of incapacity for work of a particular person. After the widow retires, contributions are made for the rest of her life.

Amount of pension contributions

The size of pension payments depends on the following parameters:

• cause of death of the serviceman;
• official salary;
• additional payments for rank;
• increases for length of service;
• the length of service of the deceased.

Total pension amount depends on factors such as:

• death occurred while carrying out an official assignment - 200% of the amount social pension;
• a serviceman died due to an illness that appeared during service - 150%;
• death due to military trauma - 200%;

The average social pension is 5,000 rubles.

If a widow moves to another region, pension payments remain unchanged!

Second pension for widows of military personnel

In accordance with Federal Law No. 400 dated December 28, 2013, since 2016, a widow can simultaneously receive two pensions after the death of her spouse.

First pension paid to the spouse who has reached retirement age or has a disability.

Second pension assigned to a widow if the serviceman received pension payments for age or disability before his death.

The procedure for assigning a second pension is practically no different from the methods for generating the first pension payments.

However, it is worth considering a number of features when calculating the second payment, namely:

1. The amount of pension payments will be 50% of the deceased spouse’s salary if the military man died due to an injury during the performance of an official assignment and 40% if the cause of death was a serious illness.
2. When calculating pension payments, Pension Fund employees take into account the pension coefficients that the serviceman “earned” during the period of service. In 2017, the number of points must be at least 7 (by 2015 - 30 points). To find out the number of points, the widow can make a written request to the Pension Fund.
3. The second pension is assigned to a widow who did not remarry after the death of a serviceman.
4. The preferential pension is accrued to the Pension Fund at the place of residence of the widow.
5. The minimum experience in the law enforcement department of a military personnel must be at least 6 years. At the same time, the experience increases every year. So, by 2024, the minimum experience should be 15 years.
6. If the second pension is refused, the widow has the right to appeal to the judicial authorities to resolve this issue.

We bring to your attention a video that tells about the life situations of people faced with such a situation.

Many wives of military personnel cannot earn money decent size labor pension, since they often have to move with their spouse to different military camps, where there is no suitable job. Therefore, the task of the state is to enable widows to receive not only a decent pension in the event of the death of a serviceman, but also to receive two pensions at the same time, about which we're talking about in this material.

Most women who marry military personnel face the problem of constant moving. Life in a military camp is often accompanied by difficulties associated with finding work.

For this reason, in many military families, the main source of income is the husband’s salary or his pension. And in the event of the death of the husband, the wife is left without a source of income.

Therefore, the state provided a measure regulating the rights of such women - a pension in the event of the loss of a breadwinner.

Concept

The military pension is cash, which are paid to a person who has sufficient work experience in such organizations:

• ATS of the country;
• fire service;
• FSKN;
• FSIN and other institutions.

Such payments are calculated in accordance with the law “On pensions for persons who served in military service.”

This regulatory act contains Article 13, according to which persons with at least 20 years of service can receive this type of material support. However, the right to complete service does not depend on age.

One month of work experience in certain regions can be conditionally accepted as 2 or 1.5 years of service under ordinary conditions.

When approving a pension for the widow of a military pensioner, the following may also be included:

• The periods during which the citizen performed military service in other CIS countries;
• periods of unlawful imprisonment;
• interruptions caused by illegal dismissal from a position;
• the service time of mobilized officers who undergo training in educational institutions. In such cases, one year of study is equivalent to 6 months of experience.

Types of assistance

Depending on which institution makes the payments, there are two types of pensions for the widow of a military pensioner:

1. the first type of financial benefit is paid by the Ministry of Defense in cases where the husband received a long-service pension, or retired due to disability;
2. a cash benefit paid to citizens by the Pension Fund if the deceased was already retired and was paid insurance or a disability pension.

How is the pension calculated for the widow of a military pensioner by the Ministry of Defense?

If material resources were paid by the Ministry of Defense, then the widow will receive assistance for the loss of a breadwinner.

This is possible if one of the following circumstances exists:

• If the husband was in reserve and received a pension, or within 60 months after its payment was completed;
• if the deceased died as a result of injury, injury or illness that he acquired during his service;
• if the spouse reaches retirement age or becomes disabled;
• if the wife does not officially work, and at the same time she has a dependent son or daughter of the deceased under the age of 14 years.

The legislation provides that if the deceased acquired disability as a result of a military injury, and if he was paid disability benefits, the wife has the right to receive preferential pension upon loss of a breadwinner:

• Upon reaching 50 years of age;
• in case the widow has a dependent son or daughter of the deceased under 8 years of age. The age of the wife and her ability to work under such circumstances do not matter.

Pension Fund

In this case, the wife of the deceased is provided with an additional survivor's pension. She can receive such support only if the pensioner, before his death, earned the right to receive a second, civil pension.

In this case, the wife of the deceased, who remarried, has the right to retain the already assigned financial support.

All types of financial assistance are divided into three categories:

1. upon loss of a breadwinner (paid to disabled wives);
2. state (accrued if the wife has a work experience of 15 years or more);
3. widows of WWII participants.

Sizes in 2020

To understand how the survivor's pension is calculated, you need to know that its amount depends on the following factors:

• Position held by the former spouse;
• length of service;
• rank;
• cause of death.

Thus, in the event of transfer to the reserve or the death of a spouse as a result of an injury received in the service, the amount of financial assistance will be 50% of his monetary allowance (SDS).

If the husband died as a result of an illness acquired in the service, then the amount of the pension paid to the widow will be 40% of the allowance.

The final amount is calculated taking into account the serviceman’s pension coefficients and the amount pension coefficient, relevant at the time when the spouse submitted the paperwork for registration. In the case where the deceased was already paid a pension, the calculation will also take into account the number of persons who were dependent on the military man before his death.

When assigning an additional pension, the individual calculation part is taken as a basis, while the fixed payment does not affect it.

Recalculation is carried out in the same way: if the payment was assigned without any coefficient affecting the amount, then the woman has the right to re-submit an application with a request to recalculate the amount taking into account the missing period.

Minimum size

Depending on what service the deceased was in - contract or conscription, the amount of the pension is determined.

This amount also depends on the cause of his death:

Persons living in the Far North and in areas that are equivalent to it are entitled to higher payments due to regional coefficients.

If such a citizen moves for permanent residence to other regions of the country, the pension is subject to recalculation in accordance with the rules of the new place of residence.

Registration procedure

Those who do not know how to apply for financial assistance should first of all register with the regional military commissariat. Along with the application, you will need to provide documents indicating that the deceased actually served.

Upon registration state pension The application and a photocopy of supporting documents are sent by registered mail.

The package of documents includes:

• Applicant's passport.
• A document confirming the fact of her husband's death.
• Certificate of registration of the applicant with the military registration and enlistment office.
• Marriage certificate.

• Help with work experience husband

In addition to the listed documents, additional papers may also be required. For example, if the deceased has any occupational disease, it will be necessary to provide confirmation of this fact to the Pension Fund.

Such evidence is obtained from the medical institution where the deceased was treated. All certificates must be certified by the signatures of the responsible doctors, as well as seals.

Another document that may be required when applying for benefits is a certificate explaining the cause of death of the serviceman.

After the PF has provided all the necessary documentation, the employees of this institution are obliged to accept and consider the submitted application. According to the law, the period for its consideration should be no more than 10 days.

The applicant can also send all necessary documentation by registered mail. If the pension fund for any reason refuses to accrue a pension to the widow, she has the right to file an application in court and appeal this decision.

Procedure for accrual after remarriage

As stated in Law No. 4468-1 (Article 35), after the spouse of a deceased serviceman remarries, her financial benefits for the loss of a breadwinner will remain and will be paid in full.

If a number of circumstances arise, such payments may be terminated:

• After execution, the child who remained dependent on the widow is 14 years old;
• in case of removal of a previously established disability;
• if the widow gets a job and starts receiving official income.

Two pensions

Wives of military personnel are forced to move frequently due to their husbands' service and live in military camps, which makes it difficult for them to find work. Therefore, the main source of family income is the man’s salary or, when the appropriate age is reached, his pension. If a woman becomes a widow, she is deprived of financial support.

The State, taking into account special position families of military personnel (including wives), provided for certain measures to support them. One of them is.

A survivor's pension under certain circumstances is established regardless of the relative’s ability to work and age deceased.

What is the wife of a military pensioner entitled to after his death?
