Upon reaching the age of 80, people receive additional financial assistance from the state every month. This is not only an increase in the fixed part of the pension and expansion of the package of benefits, but also the purpose of a cash payment for care. Such a pensioner care allowance is due to a person caring for an elderly person. Who can count on such financial support and what is needed to start receiving it?

What is care for a senior citizen over 80

As old age approaches, it becomes more difficult for any elderly person to serve himself in everyday life. If the situation is aggravated by disease, the situation is even worse. In this case, third-party support from other people is constantly required. Old people, as a rule, are provided with free help by their relatives. Not everyone is aware that for people 80 years of age and older, at the state level, it is possible to receive assistance from other citizens, which is paid by the Pension Fund.

Compensation is paid monthly along with pension. Under the circumstance that the payment is due to the caregiver, the sums are received by the disabled person in need of help. Upon receipt of funds, an elderly person independently settles with a citizen caring for him. Caring for an elderly person over 80 is not paid for by everyone. Compensation can be calculated by Russians who do not work and do not receive benefits as unemployed, but who are able-bodied under pension legislation.

For care, family ties and living together do not play a role. Outsiders are entitled to look after the elderly, receiving payment for this. The category of disabled persons entitled to financial assistance from the state includes:

• disabled people of group I;
• pensioners recognized by the medical board as requiring constant care;
• citizens of 80 years and older.

What duties should be performed to care for a pensioner

Helping the elderly is not only a troublesome task, it is an even greater responsibility and hard work. Patronage of an elderly person over 80 years means the organization of food, domestic, household and hygienic services by a person who voluntarily undertook such work. Different disabled people need their help depending on their state of health. Some lonely people need more human attention, help with cleaning and purchasing products, others need support at a different level.

Often, pensioners draw up an agreement with the assistants, which sets out the responsibilities and amount of assistance. Receiving monetary compensation is accompanied by the performance of duties:

• pay bills (utility, tax, etc.) from the ward’s own funds;
• buy the necessary products, clothing, shoes, hygiene items;
• help with household issues (cleaning the room, personal hygiene procedures);
• buy prescribed medications and monitor their timely intake;
• Cook;
• regularly measure biomarkers – indications requiring monitoring (pressure, blood sugar, temperature, heart rate);
• send and receive correspondence.

Current legislation does not introduce a definition of “custody of an elderly person with the right to inherit his property”. This means that automatic inheritance of the ward’s housing by a person caring for him is not supposed. If an elderly pensioner decides to leave his property (part of it) as an inheritance to an able-bodied assistant, then it is necessary to write a will.

Compensation payment for the care of disabled citizens

Compensation for the care of the elderly over 80 years is paid 1200 p. The size is set by the President by Decree No. 175 of February 26, 2013. Money is transferred to the Assistant by an elderly person. The amount of compensation increases by the district coefficient at the place of residence of the pensioner. Payments are provided for each ward. So, if a citizen helps two pensioners, the monthly amount will be double the size of 1200 rubles, that is 2400 rubles.

The amount is not so large and mainly family members over 80 pay for the care of a relative. Indexation for this type of allowance is not provided by law. The application of the district coefficient corresponds to the indicator that is used when increasing pensions for residents of the territories:

• Far North and areas equated to it;
• with a difficult climate;
• others – where additional costs (financial, physical) are needed to ensure normal functioning.

Care Provider Requirements

Registration of care for a pensioner older than 80 years is possible if specific conditions are met. The requirements for a person who is taking care of an elderly citizen by the state are as follows:

• citizenship of the Russian Federation;
• permanent residence in Russia;
• disability under pension law;
• lack of income from labor and entrepreneurial activity (there are no transfers of insurance contributions to the FIU, registered status of individual entrepreneurs);
• the absence of the fact of registration as unemployed in the employment service with the payment of unemployment benefits.

Any entrepreneurial activity of a guardian (for example, lawyer, security) is regarded as work in the presence of a valid IP status, even if a non-working entrepreneur temporarily has no income at the time of receipt of payments. Compensation can be received by students / students, since study is not included in the length of service (insurance), and student scholarships are not considered as income.

In addition to students, payments can be received by housewives and women who, while on maternity leave, receive benefits from social protection authorities, since the employer does not have a job for them. Legislatively limited age for citizens caring for the elderly. This opportunity is available to Russians who are already fourteen years old. For such a group of young people, it will be necessary to confirm the consent of the parents and the guardianship authority to provide such a service.

How to arrange an elderly person care

Caring for grandparents over 80 years of age involves a simple registration procedure. Helping the elderly and disabled requires a certain psychological endurance and skills, representing self-sacrifice to the detriment of their interests. When appointing an assistant, preference is usually given to relatives and friends. To begin the procedure, the guardian gives the person caring for him a written consent to receive and pay for such assistance.

After the potential assistant is required to apply to the territorial branch of the PF with a statement, which can be submitted in person or remotely through the Public Services Portal. The necessary documents are attached to the application. The entire package is accepted by the fund specialist, who is obliged to issue an official receipt that he accepted the documents for consideration..

List of documents

To assign an additional payment, it is required to collect documents (originals) and prepare their photocopies according to the list. Documents are submitted from a citizen who is going to care for the elderly:

1. Compensation Application.
2. Passport / Birth Certificate.
3. Workbook / Certificate from the educational institution indicating the estimated time of graduation.
4. Certificate from the employment service about the absence of unemployment benefits.
5. SNILS.
6. Confirmation of the absence of entrepreneurial activity (certificate from the tax authority).
7. Parents’ written consent / permission of guardianship authorities (for Russians aged 14-16).

We need documents from a person who needs the help of an outsider:

1. Passport.
2. Consent from the ward pensioner to a specific person with the name and passport information of both.
3. Pensioner’s ID.
4. SNILS.
5. Extract from the conclusion of the medical and social examination of disability.
6. Certificate from a medical institution about the need for constant supervision (for a pensioner less than 80 years old).

Payout Applications

A sample application will be provided to you at the Pension Fund, or it can be downloaded from the PF official website. The application for payment of compensation from the caregiver must contain information:

• name of the local authority of the Pension Fund;
• about the applicant – SNILS number, citizenship, passport details (series, No., date of issue, also date, place of birth), registration and actual residence, phone number;
• indication of the employment status of the applicant – the person does not work, does not receive benefits / pensions;
• the date of the start of care for the citizen, indicating his full name and circumstances requiring constant supervision – age / disability / according to the testimony of the medical institution;
• request for compensation with reference to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated December 26, 2006 No. 1455;
• familiarization with the warning about the need to notify the PF about the circumstances in which payments cease;
• inventory of attached documents;
• date of filling, signature and its decoding.

Terms of appointment

Ten working days are allotted for consideration of the presented documentation package. If the application is rejected, the PF must notify the applicant of this no later than five days after the decision is made, explaining the reason for the negative result and the procedure for appealing the decision. Three months are given for the submission of missing required references and documents. The month of adoption is the month of circulation. Payments are assigned from the month when the documents were transferred, but not earlier than the occurrence of grounds for compensation.

Where to serve

The documentation required for processing the reimbursement can be sent through the official website of public services or transferred to the Pension Fund (territorial office) in person. For a personal appeal, it is possible to make an appointment in advance via the Internet, which saves time by avoiding queues. The allowance is assigned to a branch of the pension fund that accrues pension to an elderly person.

If you care about several old people, you need to contact the departments responsible for the pension payments of each ward. When changing the place of residence by the ward citizen, the caregiver will have to submit an application to another department corresponding to the new address. It may be necessary to resubmit the paper package.

Does seniority care work

The time that an able-bodied person cares for those over 80 years of age is taken into account in the total length of service necessary for applying for a pension. It should be noted that seniority care for the elderly over 80 years is set off if this period is preceded or followed by a working period of any length. The pension coefficient is calculated at the rate of 1.8 points for the year of such supervision and does not depend on the number of wards. The specified conditions are legislatively fixed by the Laws:

• “On labor pensions in the Russian Federation” No. 173-FZ, Articles 11 and 30;
• “On Insurance Pensions” No. 400-ФЗ, Article 12.

It is important to take into account: only the right to retirement benefits is determined by such insurance experience, the time of leaving is not included in the calculation of the amount of pension. Law No. 18-FZ, which determines the allocation of federal funds for specific pension payments, provides for reimbursement to a future pensioner of the transfer of insurance contributions for this time. The compensation amount for non-insurance periods included in the seniority period, in each case, is determined personally.

Reasons for ending old-age care payments

Compensation shall cease for certain reasons, not limited to the cause of death of one of the persons. If situations arise (indicated below), the caregiver must immediately inform the PF about the circumstances. Sometimes people just forget about it. Such irresponsible forgetfulness leads to the unlawful payment of amounts, which is fraught with the formation of debt to the state. Five days are allotted for notification. You can choose the sending method in the same way as when applying – in person or remotely.

Payments cease if:

1. Receiving compensation:
   • got a job;
   • registered on the labor exchange and receives benefits as unemployed;
   • unscrupulously performed duties, which is confirmed by the statement of the ward pensioner or the results of the inspection by the PF employees;
   • he himself decided to give up duties;
   • started getting a pension;
   • drafted into the army.
2. Ward:
   • lost the I disability group due to the revision of the previously assigned group;
   • left the country, deregistered;
   • aimed at permanent residence in the institution of state social services;
   • has died.
