Since 2020, significant payments have been introduced in Moscow and the Moscow region for the elderly - children of war. They were approved by the local government and timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory. We will tell you who is entitled to the extra money and how to get it.

Who is assigned the status "children of war"

Before asking the question of who is entitled to payments in Moscow in 2020, it is necessary to understand exactly who is ranked among the children of war. These are the names of citizens born from 1930 to 1945 on the territory of the USSR.

Some regions provide for the assignment of such a status to people born from 1924 to 1945.

Due to the circumstances associated with the war, these people suffered hardships, so the state decided to endow them with benefits and free public services. The status is assigned to citizens under certain conditions.

For example, in some regions, the fundamental factor is the loss of one of the parents during the war.

What benefits do children of war receive:

• monthly allowance in the amount of 1,000 rubles;
• reduced cost of travel in public transport, both surface (buses or trolleybuses) and underground (metro);
• priority service at a variety of events and in medical institutions;
• free installation of a landline telephone in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Chelyabinsk.

Not many people are now aware of the fact that payments to children of the war in the Moscow region in 2020 are due. There are many subtleties in assigning status that must be taken into account in order to understand what you can count on.

How to arrange

To receive payments for children of war in the Moscow region in 2020, you must first obtain the appropriate status. However, often citizens who fit into this category already have some privileges. For example, they already have the assigned category "Home Front Worker" or "WWII Disabled", that is, those who are already entitled to certain prerogatives in front of other people.

How to issue the appropriate status:

1. It is necessary to collect all documents that can confirm the right to obtain the status of "Children of War".
2. Contact the regional administration at the place of residence or the department of social protection of the population.
3. Fill out an application of the appropriate form.
4. Attach all required documentation to the application.
5. Get a certificate confirming the delivery of documents.
6. Expect a decision on granting the status of "Children of War" within a month. The notification must come by registered mail.
7. If a positive decision was made, then it is necessary to visit the institution again and obtain an appropriate certificate.

After that, you can contact the Council of Veterans at your place of residence, where they will tell you about additional preferences from the state (if any).

What documents are required

Those who are entitled to the "Children of War" status, before applying for it, need to collect the necessary documents. Their list is as follows:

• passport or other identity document;
• a statement that will indicate a request to assign a status and issue an appropriate certificate;
• insurance certificate;
• color photograph 3x4 with matte finish.

Benefits for Children of War in 2020: Latest News

In February of this year, deputies of the State Duma proposed a draft law for consideration, which provides for additional financial support for veterans of the Great Patriotic War, if a positive decision is made on it. The document provides the following privileges:

• 1000 rubles are paid every month;
• reimbursement of expenses for utilities, which can be up to 25% of the total amount indicated in the receipt;
• the right to use medical services without waiting in line.

Another important condition is that the citizen at the time of the start of the war had to be under 14 years of age. According to the deputies of the State Duma, this privilege will be of particular importance, since the President of the Russian Federation declared 2020 the year of memory and glory.

Lump sum payment for the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory

Back on February 7, 2020, Vladimir Putin signed a decree according to which, by the Great Victory Day, veterans of the Great Patriotic War will receive lump sum payments, which will be credited in the near future.

In April-May 2020, veterans with the status of "Children of War" will receive a payment of 1,584 rubles, which corresponds to a monthly payment to home front workers.

According to the latest data, no additional documents will be required to present and submit to the relevant authorities. Payments will be transferred automatically based on previously submitted documents upon receiving the "Children of War" status.

Thus, in 2020, citizens with the status of "Children of War" in Moscow, the Moscow region, as well as in a number of other regions, will receive a one-time payment for the Great Victory Day in the amount of 1,584 rubles. For home front workers, this payment will be 50 thousand rubles.

Citizens who have already obtained the appropriate status at the moment receive a number of privileges. Among them, payment for housing and communal services at reduced rates, discounts on travel in public transport, as well as receiving a monthly payment in the amount of 1,000 rubles.
