The payment in question has not been indexed for several years. Caregivers for disabled citizens are awaiting news on whether the allowance for the care of a disabled person in Group I will be increased in 2021.

Ministry of Labor on benefits for the care of the disabled

In August 2020, a bill was introduced to the State Duma, which implies an increase in payments for caring for disabled people of group I to 10 thousand rubles. monthly. It should be reminded that the specified amount is currently received only by assistants of disabled children, as well as parents of disabled children.

The issue of injustice in relation to the amount of the benefit was raised by Mikhail Terentyev (Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Labor and Social Policy) during the meeting of the head of state with representatives of public organizations and people with disabilities.

Labor and Social Protection Minister Anton Kotyakov said that the difference in the amount of benefits will soon lose significance, since a pilot long-term care project is being implemented since 2021, within which the state will take care of all the concerns. According to the official, the system will begin to operate on the territory of all constituent entities of the Russian Federation from 2022, and then the issue of incommensurability of payments will be leveled by their immersion in the general system.

Who can make a payment

Any citizen of the Russian Federation of working age who does not have an official place of work, as well as earnings or other income (benefits, pensions, etc.) can apply for compensation. The presence of family ties between the guardian and the ward, as well as the fact of their joint or separate residence, do not matter.

If the guardian has reached retirement age or decided to go to work, he must notify the FIU within 5 days. Otherwise, administrative liability arises in the form of calculating a forfeit and requirements for the return of illegally received funds.

The Pension Fund can initiate a lawsuit against a nurse who refused to voluntarily refund the overpayment. In this case, in addition to the overpaid amount, the defendant will be required to reimburse all costs associated with the consideration of the case, which increases the amount of the recovery.

Care allowance amount

Persons caring for people with disabilities receive an allowance of 1,200 rubles. Residents of the Far North and equivalent territories can count on increased payments due to the presence of the regional coefficient. In this case, not the place of residence of the caregiver is taken into account, but the region of residence of the ward.

The appointment and calculation of compensation is the responsibility of the department that pays other types of benefits due to a disabled person. Cash flows monthly, along with the basic pension, for the entire care period. The pensioner disposes of them at his own discretion, in accordance with the agreement with the assistant.

The allowance for caring for a disabled person of the 1st group of childhood, as well as disabled children, is much higher: from July 1, 2019, a parent or guardian will receive 10 thousand rubles.

Regional assistance

The authorities of some regions of the Russian Federation establish additional payments for the care of citizens with disabilities. For detailed information on the listings available in a particular region, you can use the following sources:

• Center "My Documents";
• electronic resources of the municipality;
• territorial department of social protection.

In addition to financial assistance, other types of non-material benefits are provided for disabled people and their assistants.

Benefits for assistants

The comparatively small amount of the benefit is compensated by other privileges. The periods of care are counted in the insurance record of the able-bodied person, provided that the obligations are recorded and documented. In this case, the nurse receives up to 1, 8 points for each year for the subsequent calculation of the pension.

In addition, one of the parents who raised a disabled child until he reaches the age of 8 is entitled to an early retirement pension. In this case, the following requirements must be observed:

• individual pension coefficient - not lower than the established minimum;
• insurance experience of at least 15 years (for women) and 20 years (for men).

If a working parent (guardian) is caring for a disabled child, he can count on the benefits provided by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation:

• additional days off - 4 days every month;
• annual leave without retention of earnings for up to 14 days;
• shortened work shift.

It is forbidden to involve such employees in the performance of work duties after hours and send them on business trips without written consent.

Outcomes

The indexation of payments for the care of children with disabilities, as well as disabled children of group I, was carried out in 2019. The amount of the allowance for guardians and parents is 10 thousand rubles.

For the rest of the citizens caring for people with disabilities of the 1st group, the previous allowance is valid - 1,200 rubles.

The Ministry of Labor does not plan to increase compensation, since a new long-term care program will operate on the territory of the Russian Federation from 2022.
