While some people are discussing innovations in the payment of child benefits and maternity capital, others are interested in what benefits a child is entitled to for the loss of a breadwinner, in addition to pension, in 2020. His non-working mother is also considered a dependent, but we will consider in the article what exactly a child who is left without a father can count on.

What are the pensions

There are 3 types of survivor's pension: insurance, state and social. They can be obtained by writing an application and collecting a list of required documents.

In the first case, with an insurance pension, payments are made by the Pension Fund and depend on the length of service of the deceased breadwinner, which must be at least six months.

The state pension is paid to the families of the deceased cosmonauts and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who died in the line of military duty, as well as to the families of the Chernobyl liquidators, victims of man-made and radiation disasters.

Social pension is also allocated from the state budget and is paid to children whose fathers have worked for less than 6 months (meaning officially confirmed work experience).

Who can count on payments

According to the law, financial assistance is paid to children under 18 years old, as well as full-time students under 23 years old. In case of deduction, the payment of the pension is terminated. But there are cases when students continue to receive financial assistance, but at the same time their studies at the university are suspended.

So, the pension is paid in the following situations:

• in case the student takes an academic leave;
• during practice;
• in case of maternity leave.

If the deceased (deceased) has several children, then the amount of the insurance part of the pension will be divided equally. The amount of payments cannot be lower than the subsistence minimum in the region.

The pension can be paid for life if the child has been granted a disability before reaching the age of 18.

Additional benefits

What are the benefits for a child on the loss of a breadwinner in addition to a pension in 2020:

• free travel in public transport around the city;
• up to the age of two, free products are laid in the dairy kitchen;
• free medicines (up to 3 years);
• free admission to museums and other cultural sites;
• free hot meals at school (breakfast and lunch) and textbooks if you have to pay for them at a specific educational institution.

How do I get free meals and tutorials? Submit an application to the school in May so that you can take advantage of the benefits from the beginning of the new school year. If the child loses a breadwinner during the school year, benefits will be provided from the next month after the application is submitted.

Students of secondary specialized and higher institutions have the right to financial assistance, but this issue is decided by the leadership of the educational institution. Both one-time financial assistance and monthly payments are possible. Documents for applying for material assistance are considered on an individual basis. Not all students receive payments.

In Moscow and the region, such a card is becoming more and more popular. To receive it, you must provide the MFC with a passport or birth certificate, a certificate from the Pension Fund on the appointment of a pension and your photo measuring 3 × 4 cm.

Increase in payments

That is, if last year you received 5.5 thousand rubles, then from the new year the survivor's pension will be 5.8 thousand.

New in legislation and the fact that from April 1, the government indexes social pensions. They will increase by 6.1%.
