The amount of state support in 2019
Law No. 166-FZ determines that the social pension for the loss of a breadwinner is set in a fixed amount of money. It is associated with the category of the recipient. That is, under certain conditions, the amount increases. In addition, the payment is subject to annual indexation for the amount of inflation recorded for the previous period.
The last indexing took place on April 1, 2018. Thus, the amounts of the relevant benefits are set at the level of:
- 5180.24 rubles:
- children who have lost one parent;
- other disabled citizens-recipients;
- 10360.52 rubles:
- child - an orphan;
- children of a deceased single mother.
In April 2019, the next indexation of social pensions by 2% will be carried out.
Important: the amount of the social pension is necessarily compared with the subsistence minimum for a specific category of citizen (pensioner, child), established for the region of residence. If it turns out to be less, then an additional payment is made up to a certain level.
In the regions of the Far North and territories equated to them, there are regional allowances for social pensions.

Social supplement to pension and its minimum
The purpose of social pension payments is to ensure the minimum acceptable level of material security for the beneficiary. In this regard, an adjustment is made to the amounts caused by the insufficiency of the pension to fulfill the stated goals..
Attention: the size of the subsistence minimum of a citizen (PMG) determines the surcharge.
Two parameters are taken into account:
- SGP established for the whole country;
- PMG in the region of residence.
To adjust (increase) the payment, the one that turned out to be larger is applied (Article 12.1 of Law No. 178-FZ of 07/17/1999).
- Serenko E., who lives in the capital, was assigned a social pension for loss in the amount of 5034.25 rubles.
- The minor Ivshchenko A., registered in the Republic of Kalmykia, is provided with the same state support.
- To find out the right to a social supplement and its value, we study the SGP indicators:
- in Russia - 8540 rubles;
- in Moscow for pensioners - 11428 rubles;
- in the Republic of Kalmykia for children - 7440 rubles.
- According to the current methodology, SGP indicators in the regions are compared with the same for the country and the amount of payments to beneficiaries:
- Each of the beneficiaries is assigned a minimum amount of assistance that falls short of the SGP level in the respective region.
- SGP in the capital is higher than in Russia, therefore, the social pension of Serenko E. will be subsidized to the level of 11428 rubles.
- SGP in the Republic of Kalmykia is lower than the same in the Russian Federation, which means that the pension of the minor Ivshchenko A. will be increased to the level of 8540 rubles.
Attention: surcharge is made by:
- Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, an additional payment is made only if the SGP in the Russian Federation is significantly higher than the level of SGP in the region. This additional payment is made in an unclaimed form from the moment the pension is awarded;
- social security authorities to the level of the SGP of the region.

In the socially oriented legislation of the Russian Federation, children, as a special component of society, are provided with additional care and protection. A necessary condition for decent living conditions for them is the presence of parents or guardians who are responsible not only for their upbringing, but also for proper material support. However, many life situations deprive young citizens of the means for a full existence. Therefore, regardless of their age, children in the Russian Federation can apply for pension compensations, among which survivors' pensions occupy a significant place. In 2019, this compensation implies three types of payments:
- in a situation where the breadwinner worked and paid contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, his next of kin claim an insurance subsidy;
- state pension compensations are provided for those whose parent or guardian was a soldier who suffered from radiation disasters;
- if the death of the breadwinner was the result of the actions of relatives, or he did not have an insured length of service, then his dependents are assigned a social pension payment.
The indicated survivor's pensions in Russia in 2019 have different calculation algorithms and appropriation features, regulated by the legislative framework.
Who can claim a survivor's pension?
The rules for assigning a survivor's pension to a child in 2019 have a regulatory justification. Thus, according to Article 10 of Federal Law No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions” dated December 28, 2019, “disabled family members of the deceased breadwinner who were dependent on him (with the exception of persons who have committed a criminally punishable an act that resulted in the death of the breadwinner and established in a judicial proceeding).
Several categories of his relatives specified in Article 10 of the Federal Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 can claim to receive pension subsidies after the death of the breadwinner:
- minor representatives who may be in different family ties: their own children, sister or brother, grandchildren;
- children attending the day department in educational institutions;
- unemployed spouse and parents of the deceased and at the same time involved in the upbringing of young children;
- parents at retirement age, or with the assigned status of "disabled";
- grandparents who were on the care of the deceased.
In the list of applicants for material support from the state after the death of a parent, minor children are the primary and indisputable candidates. For all others, confirmation of the fact of their financial dependence on the deceased relative is necessary. Therefore, most often this type of subsidies is considered "children's".
It should be borne in mind that Russian legislation provides for the receipt of only one type of pension subsidies, with the exception of some cases. Therefore, elderly parents who were supported at the expense of a deceased employed family member can choose for themselves only one type of state assistance: either a labor pension upon reaching the appropriate age, or in connection with the death of the breadwinner.
The amount of the minimum survivor's pension in 2019
The sequence of calculation and the size of the survivor's pension in 2019 is directly determined by its type. Since each type has its own calculation base.
Only minor children or full-time students in an educational institution can apply for a social survivor's pension in 2019. At the same time, its value is fixed at the legislative level. The monthly subsidy for a child whose parent has passed away reaches 5,034.25 rubles. The amount will be doubled in case of loss of both mother and father at the same time up to 11068.53 rubles.
It is this type of compensation that is recognized as the minimum survivor's pension in 2019, the value of which in any case cannot be less than the subsistence minimum.
Insurance or labor pension in case of loss of a breadwinner in 2019
To accrue such state subsidies, it is enough for children to present a certificate to the regional department of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, which confirms the fact of the death of the parent and a document identifying their identity.
The insurance or labor pension in case of loss of the breadwinner in 2019 includes two components: the main component, calculated on the basis of the pension coefficient, and a fixed amount of additional payments. Paragraph 3 of Article 3 of Federal Law No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions” dated December 28, 2013 explains that “an individual pension coefficient is a parameter that reflects in relative units the pension rights of an insured person to an insurance pension, formed taking into account accrued and paid into the Pension fund of the Russian Federation of insurance premiums for an insurance pension intended for its financing, the duration of the insurance period, as well as refusal for a certain period from receiving an insurance pension.
The amount of the supplement to the survivor's pension in 2019 and payment in the event of the death of a military parent
The amount of the permanent addition to the survivor's pension in 2019 was revised by the Government and increased to 2402.56 rubles. with the loss of one of the parents, or up to 4805.12 rubles. for orphans. In the list of documents for the appointment of this pension subsidy, important components are certificates of "insured" experience and a certificate of SNILS.
The amount of the state pension for the loss of a breadwinner in 2019 is determined by the reasons for the death of a military parent:
- military injury, which led to the death of the breadwinner, guarantees his dependents a subsidy that has reached 11,068.53 rubles;
- if the death occurred as a result of injuries and illnesses received during military service, compensation is provided for the next of kin in the amount of 7551.38 rubles.
In such a situation, the legally approved exception comes into force, since the widowed wife of a military man can receive several subsidies at the same time, but only until the next marriage.
Pensions in Russia in 2019 for the loss of a breadwinner who served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs
A separate “point” in the composition of state subsidies of a pension nature is pensions for the loss of a breadwinner who served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In 2019, their size was increased to 10,177.61 rubles. The following persons are eligible for such state support:
- in a situation where the death of the breadwinner was the result of an injury in the course of military operations;
- relatives of a pensioner-breadwinner who had the status of a disabled person due to a military injury;
- children of the deceased who became orphans.
The amount of this pension subsidy will be reduced to 7,633.21 rubles if the cause of death of an employee in the Department of Internal Affairs was illness received during the performance of official duties.
The reason for indexing when increasing survivors' pensions in 2019
The program of state indexation of subsidy payments also touched upon compensations for relatives, which were financed by a deceased family member. Starting from the second quarter of 2019, the increase in survivors' pensions reached an average of 1.5%, which is due to high rates of inflationary processes in the Russian Federation.
The economic and regulatory justification for such changes is recorded in Federal Law No. 166-FZ of December 15, 2001. The main reason for the indexation of survivors' pensions in 2019 is the increase in the subsistence minimum in the previous reporting period. This fact is confirmed by Article 25 of the Federal Law of December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ “On State Pension Provision in the Russian Federation”: “social pensions - annually from April 1, taking into account the growth rate of the living wage for a pensioner in the Russian Federation over the past year, and the value of the coefficient indexation is determined by the Government of the Russian Federation”.
Accordingly, by decision of the Government of the Russian Federation, the sizes of all subsidies for pensioners were revised, starting from the second quarter of this year.
The developed program of subsidies and pension benefits for children and unemployed relatives makes the loss of a loved one less financially detrimental. Such government measures make it possible to maintain the level of material support for the needy categories of the Russian population at an appropriate level.
At the state level, support is provided for the disabled part of the population in the absence of a permanent income. In particular, payments for the loss of a breadwinner for a certain category of citizens. Their size and method of accrual depends on certain circumstances, which should be considered in more detail.
Types of cash payments
The procedure for calculating assistance depends on the general experience of the breadwinner and the conditions of his work. As such, the labor pension was abolished and an alternative accrual system was introduced instead. It is impossible to choose one of the types of security on your own - this is determined by certain conditions. This also affects the size of the survivor's pension.
Financial assistance is provided under the following state programs:
- Insurance. It is calculated according to the amount of previously deducted taxes. The condition is at least one day of work experience. Law - 400-FZ.
- State. Valid for persons who served in the ranks of the Armed Forces, affected by the impact of man-made factors. Regulation - 4468-1
- Social. The breadwinner has no work experience or his death occurred as a result of the actions of close dependent relatives, which was proven in court. Law No. 166-FZ.
To assign a pension for the loss of a breadwinner, it is necessary to provide documents confirming the fact of his death. Also, one of the determining conditions for calculating assistance is the citizenship of the Russian Federation of the deceased relative.
Security can only be assigned to disabled close relatives who do not have other types of income. It is important to confirm the fact of relationship.
Terms of receipt
Before submitting documents for state security, it is necessary to study the requirements for the applicant. An important criterion is the return or health status of the dependent. After the occurrence of certain factors, payments will be terminated. Unlike labor support, insurance can be assigned to able-bodied relatives.
Pension payments for the loss of a breadwinner are due to the following categories of citizens:
- relatives of the first line: brother, grandson, sister, child, whose age has not reached 18 years;
- for all the above categories, if they are studying full-time - up to 23 years;
- for disabled persons whose status was obtained before reaching the age of 18, the allowance is paid for life;
- if close minor relatives are provided by guardians - up to 14 years;
- for spouses and parents who have reached retirement age.
In the latter case, the exception will be retirement 5 years earlier than the prescribed age.
To submit documents, you do not need to confirm the fact of dependent children. For all other relatives, information about the absence of other sources of income should be provided.
Registration procedure
In order for the social pension for the loss of the breadwinner to be accrued, it is necessary to prepare a package of documents. If they were filed up to a year before the tragic circumstances, the benefit will be accrued from the moment the death is registered. Otherwise, the first payments will be accrued after the official permission of the regulatory authorities.
Before applying for a survivor's pension, the following documents should be prepared:
- application in the prescribed form;
- work book of the deceased;
- confirmation of the death of the breadwinner - official certificate;
- documents that indicate the degree of relationship with the deceased - birth certificate, marriage certificate, extract from the house book, adoption certificate;
- proof that the child is studying full-time at the university.
The interests of the applicant can be represented by a third party, for this it is necessary to issue a power of attorney. If foreign citizens apply for payments, they must provide a residence permit or other document confirming the legitimacy of their stay on the territory of the Russian Federation.
The time for consideration of the application and related data is 10 working days. After this period, an official response is given on the calculation of benefits.
Pension amount in 2019
The increase in social benefits this year has affected the amount of support in the event of the death of the breadwinner. For an accurate calculation of the amount, you must contact the Pension Fund. The department will provide information on what kind of survivor's benefit in 2019 will be accrued for a particular case.
For self-calculation, you can take the base numbers from the table. Below is information about the amount of the survivor's pension:
- increase in the size of the fixed surcharge up to 2,402 rubles;
- social pension will amount to 5,034 rubles;
- for a single mother, an increase in assistance to 11,068 rubles is provided;
- if the breadwinner was a soldier - the minimum amount of support for relatives is 7,551 rubles.
It is important to provide evidence of the occurrence of the above factors. This information is indicated in the documents attached to the application. In the event of a change in data, it is already possible to apply for its revision.
One of the determining conditions for the calculation of assistance is that the applicant must not be guilty of the death of the breadwinner. If this fact is proven, the security will be denied.
Termination of payments
The monthly security will only be paid up to a certain date. You also need to take into account the requirements from the PF on the current status of the recipient of funds. Certain circumstances may cause benefits to be terminated.
List of current restrictions:
- reaching the age of majority or the age of 23 by children studying at a university;
- the recipient's disability status has not been officially renewed;
- the widow of a deceased serviceman remarried;
- the recipient is officially employed.
For the latter case, an exception is provided if the deceased was drafted into the ranks of the armed forces and at the time of death was in the rank of a junior military rank - a soldier, sailor, foreman or sergeant. For such situations, the recipient of social security can formally get a job without losing material assistance.
For registration, you can use the functionality on the official website of the PF. To do this, you need to go to your personal account and fill out an application. But this does not exclude visiting the local office to hand over the documents.

Applying for a survivor's benefit
The subject of legal relations with the FIU is the family and each of its members. Only officially registered marriages are considered. Children born out of wedlock, in case of recognition of paternity, are also the subject of legal relations.
The condition for calculating a pension, upon the occurrence of an insured event, is the presence of work experience. For its appointment, an application for receipt with other documents (photocopies) is sent to the branch of the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR) at the place of permanent residence, in four existing ways:

You can apply after the official recognition of the death of a citizen. Payment for the time preceding the application to the FIU is limited to 12 months.
The amount of the benefit and the procedure for its calculation
The insurance pension reimburses part of the assistance previously provided by the deceased relative.
The amount of the survivor's benefit is calculated by multiplying the two indicators.
For each citizen, depending on the amount of experience earned, an individual coefficient is calculated. It is multiplied by the value of 1 point set on the day of calculation.
If the children turned out to be complete orphans, the scores of the father and mother are added up, and if the deceased parent is the mother, her coefficient is doubled.
If the children are assigned a survivor's pension, then in the event of the death of the second parent, the points of the second parent multiplied by the value of one point are added to the already existing payment.
When living in regions where an additional payment is established in connection with special working conditions (district coefficient), the allowance is calculated taking into account this additional payment.
Social pension for children on the loss of a breadwinner
This is a fixed payment financed from the state budget upon the death of the breadwinner. .

Survivor benefit amount
The amount of the benefit depends on two causes of death:
- Military trauma.
- illness during service.
The payment of a pension for the loss of a breadwinner is due to each family member if his financial situation directly depended on the deceased.
The amount of the allowance varies. In the first case, provided that the breadwinner was a conscript, it will be equal to 200% of the calculation of the social pension, and in the second - 150% of the calculation of the pension.
If the service of the deceased took place during the validity of the concluded contract, then in the first case, each dependent will receive 50% of the monetary allowance, but not less than 200% of the social pension.
In the same amount, material assistance is accrued to the children of disabled military personnel if they have lost both parents, or a mother who brings them up alone.
In the second case - 40% of the monetary content. Its minimum size must be at least 150% of the social pension.
The amount will be calculated taking into account the additional payment for special conditions of service (district coefficient) as long as he lives in the region where these additional payments are approved by law.
Allowance for families of citizens who died due to radiation or man-made disasters
