The latest news in the media is dedicated to the initiative of the Moscow government to allocate funds for payments to pensioners due to the coronavirus in Moscow. Such a possibility is being considered in the Moscow region as well. The size is already known. How to receive payments will be announced additionally.

Latest news in the capital

The information publication "Rosbalt", citing official sources, reports that in the capital there has been a significant decrease in the usual number of passengers in the metro, on the streets, and on other types of passenger transport. Passenger traffic in the Moscow metro has decreased by 44%, and ground transport has lost 41% of the usual number of people moving around the metropolis.

However, the press service of the Moscow Transport Department cited data on 12 thousand pensioners who tried to pass through the turnstiles of the Moscow metro on the morning of March 27. They were not afraid of either strict warnings, or the fact that they are in the first group of risk of complications due to the transferred coronavirus, if they are infected.

Perhaps they did not even know that in the list of measures to combat new cases of the spread of the epidemic, free travel was canceled for citizens who have reached the retirement age and above. The Department of Transport learned about this from signals indicating that people are trying to get into the subway with the help of a social card issued to them. It provides for the possibility of free travel for retired and beneficiaries at normal times.

Due to the spread of the coronavirus epidemic in Moscow, pensioners and people with chronic diseases are advised to observe the regime of voluntary self-isolation, but the activity of older people is still high. The Moscow authorities plan to allocate significant funds for payments to citizens with chronic diseases and those who are over 65 years old.

According to RIA Novosti, those who begin a voluntary self-isolation regime can count on such payments. This is 2 thousand rubles, which will be credited immediately.

Those who complete quarantine without systematic violations can count on the second part of payments due to coronavirus in the same amount. This monetary incentive is scheduled after April 12th.

The situation with payments in the Moscow region

As in the metropolitan metropolis, in the Moscow region, everyone who turns 65, starting from March 26, 2020, is obliged to comply with a strict self-isolation regime:

1. They should not even go to pharmacies and shops; if necessary, volunteers and social workers take care of the delivery.
2. The only exceptions are those who continue to work after retirement, and the employer believes that their presence is extremely important. But this applies only to certain categories of workers: the healthcare sector, strategic enterprises, representatives of government bodies.
3. Relevant documents have been adopted to ensure measures to combat the coronavirus. In Moscow, this is a decree of the mayor of the capital, in the Moscow region - a similar decree of the governor, dated March 23.

In the capital and in the Moscow region, a one-time aid is planned for elderly people who have come under restrictive measures due to an unfavorable epidemiological situation. In the region, payments are planned to pensioners in the amount of one and a half thousand rubles at the beginning of the quarantine and the same amount, if the person is not noticed systematic violations of the prescribed regime.

For Muscovites, it is planned to pay a total of 4 thousand rubles, for residents of the Moscow region, the amount is 3 thousand rubles. Help will be paid in 2 installments.

In his video message, the governor of the Moscow region focused the attention of senior citizens on the vital adherence to the quarantine regime. He also said that the second half will presumably be issued on April 14, as soon as the quarantine period ends.

Accrual procedure and terms of receipt

Aid is planned for more than 1.9 million people. The Moscow authorities intend to allocate 7.6 billion rubles from the reserve fund and launch the first payment within three days from the start of self-isolation. For pensioners, they will be calculated automatically based on the data of the Pension Fund.

Citizens with chronic diseases need to call 8-495-870-45-09 to get help. But they are also not required to submit a personal application. The staff of the local branch of the social protection authorities will take care of all the clarifications.

It is noted that the funds were allocated to compensate for additional costs caused by the possibility of personal visits to retail outlets and pharmacies. Therefore, the second part of the payment is canceled if the beneficiary is seen in systematic violations of the restrictive regime.

Pensioners will not have any problems in the question of how to get help from city or regional authorities. For those to whom the pension is transferred to the current account, it will be credited in the usual manner, by bank transfer, to the address indicated in the Pension Fund. When delivered by postman, according to the usual scenario, the amount will be brought to your home.

A hotline has been opened in Moscow for complaints, complaints, clarification of misunderstandings (telephone (495) 870-45-09, in the Moscow region you can call (800) 550-50-30. (+7).

The administration of the capital of the Russian Federation and the Moscow region remind that the situation with infections is growing. Moscow and the Moscow region are leading in the anti-rating in terms of the number of cases in Russia, and self-isolation of the first risk group is a forced, but vital measure.
