Compensation for utility costs: the position of the Ministry of Finance

The social package of some categories of the population provides for a special procedure for providing benefits for housing and communal services. Citizens of the following categories can receive assistance from the state if they provide the entire list of required documents in a timely manner. It is worth considering that the list of papers is different for all groups of the population. For example, pensioners and military personnel need to collect a simplified list of certificates, but a low-income family needs to officially prove a low level of total income. The main reason for satisfying the request is the recorded indicators: the share of housing and communal services in the structure of family expenses exceeds 22%.

Municipal authorities have the right to independently make decisions in the field of social protection, therefore, to clarify information, you must contact the district subsidy department or a multifunctional center for the provision of services to the population. Compensation is usually carried out by transferring funds to a specially created bank account of the payer. Funds are received monthly on the card, before the 10th day of the month immediately following the reporting period. All details and features of providing assistance are described in Article 159 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation.

Compensation for housing and communal services for military widows

The process of providing benefits for housing and communal services to military widows is regulated both at the federal and regional levels. In 2021, the following benefits apply to spouses whose husbands died during hostilities:

  • the ability to register to improve housing conditions;
  • receiving additional material compensation, the amount of which depends on the military merits, rank and place of residence of the veteran husband;
  • discount on payments for all types of housing and communal services in the amount of 50%;
  • the opportunity to receive high-quality medical care in the institution where the military husband was observed;
  • payment of child support benefits (if there is a relationship with a deceased military man);
  • the opportunity to take over your husband's pension.

It is worth noting that different regions of the Russian Federation formulate their own rules and approaches to providing assistance to military widows. In some constituent entities of the Russian Federation, women can receive a number of additional privileges, which are regulated by regional authorities. This area of ​​legislation is constantly subject to changes and innovations, so it is advisable to contact the municipality to clarify the data.

Who can be refused payment?

Funds from the state budget are distributed quite strictly. The government agency employee who reviews the application is responsible for checking them and ensuring compliance with regulatory documents.

All actions of employees of the authorized department are strictly controlled by current legislation.

Refunds for utility bills will not be provided in the following situations:

  • The information provided in the documents is not reliable;
  • The applicant does not have original documentation with him;
  • The applicant has arrears on utility bills for more than three months;
  • The citizen does not meet the preferential category;
  • The applicant's representative does not have a notarized power of attorney.

Compensation for housing and communal services for pensioners

Receiving a subsidy is possible after submitting an application to the social security authority at your place of registration. The citizen must attach the following package of documents:

  • title documents for residential premises;
  • receipts for payment of utility services;
  • papers indicating the absence of rent arrears;
  • confirmation of the basis for granting the benefit;
  • a certificate showing the total income of all family members or a pensioner;
  • certificate of family composition with dates of registration.

Each person has the right to bring a package of documents to a social security employee in person or send papers by mail. A method of virtual submission of certificates is also available. To do this, you need to use the official portal for providing government services to the population. The payer will be able to find out the decision of the social service on the subsidy case 10 days after submitting the package of papers. Assistance to each family will be issued for a period of six months. After this period of time, it will be possible to extend the social program.

How is the decision made?

The application is reviewed by employees of the authorized agency as quickly as possible. If the documentation complies with all established standards, a positive decision is made.

And, if the applicant lacks any papers, then the government agency is given ten days to submit the missing papers.

The deadline for acceptance or refusal is ten days. Payments to beneficiaries are accrued until the tenth day of each next month.

At the municipal level, there are certain features in the procedure for calculating and paying the EBC. Housing compensation is calculated at the request of a citizen at any time. Also, social security must recalculate the past time.

However, this process depends on the region of residence. As an example:

  • On the territory of the Moscow District, the time from the date of entitlement to social benefits is taken into account, but not more than three years before the date of filing the application;
  • In Belgorod, recalculation is carried out only for the last six months.

Payment calculations are made from the first day of the month following the application, unless other rules are established by municipal regulations.

You can familiarize yourself with all the standards in the Housing Code of the Russian Federation by downloading the document from the link: Housing Code of the Russian Federation dated December 29, 2014 No. 458.

Social security must recalculate the past time

Compensation for housing and communal services for labor veterans

Labor veterans (including disabled people) receive a 50% discount on the consumption of housing and communal services from the state. Various constituent entities of the Russian Federation are developing additional support programs for veterans at the municipal level. A discount or compensation (optional) is provided for the following types of needs:

  • use of living space;
  • maintenance of the house and other communal housing and communal services;
  • Individual service from housing and communal services.

The norms for the amount of compensation are regulated by regional authorities. The procedure and rules for the return of spent funds are regulated by federal law. Individual maximum limits on room area are developed for each region.

It is worth noting that the amount of the subsidy always depends on the number of family members who live with the veteran in the same territory. This is due to the fact that when calculating the discount, the area actually occupied by the veteran is taken as the basis. The amounts obtained in the calculation are compared with generally accepted standards to determine the amount of subsidies.

Department of Social Protection of the Population of the Belgorod District Administration

Monthly monetary compensation to citizens of preferential categories for payment of housing and communal services (EDK)

Organization of payment of monthly cash compensation for the cost of paying contributions for major repairs of common property in an apartment building to certain categories of citizens

In order to implement the provisions of Part 2.1 of Article 169 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, which establishes the right of the subjects of the Russian Federation by their laws to provide for persons who have reached a certain age, the provision of compensation for the costs of paying a contribution for the overhaul of common property in an apartment building in the Belgorod region, a law was adopted on February 19. 2016 No. 44 “On amendments to the Social Code of the Belgorod Region and the Law of the Belgorod Region “On the budget structure and budget process in the Belgorod Region.”

In accordance with the above law, the following have the right to provide social protection measures:

1) living alone, non-working owners of residential premises who have reached the age of seventy years;

2) living alone, non-working owners of residential premises who have reached the age of eighty years;

3) living in a family consisting only of non-working citizens of retirement age living together and (or) non-working disabled people of groups I and (or) II, owners of residential premises who have reached the age of seventy years;

4) living in a family consisting only of non-working citizens of retirement age living together and (or) non-working disabled people of groups I and (or) II, owners of residential premises who have reached the age of eighty years.

Monthly monetary compensation for the cost of paying a contribution for major repairs of common property in an apartment building will be calculated based on the minimum amount of the contribution for major repairs per one square meter of total living space per month, established by a decree of the Government of the Belgorod Region, and the size of the regional standard for the normative residential area premises used to provide subsidies for housing and utilities:

1) persons who have reached the age of seventy years – in the amount of 50 percent;

2) persons who have reached the age of eighty years – in the amount of 100 percent.

The regional standard for the standard living area depends on the size of the family and is:

— for citizens living alone – 33 sq.m;

- for a family of two people - 21 sq.m;

- for a family of three or more people - 18 sq.m.

Examples of calculating the amount of compensation for paying a contribution for major repairs.

A single citizen living alone, the owner of a residential premises, who has reached the age of 70, living in an apartment with an area of ​​46 sq.m.

tariff x 33 sq.m x 0.5 = 122.10 rub.

A single citizen living alone, the owner of a residential premises, who has reached the age of 80, living in an apartment with an area of ​​39 sq.m.

Tariff x 33 sq.m = 244.20 rub.

The owner of a residential premises with an area of ​​56 sq.m., who has reached the age of 70, lives as part of a family consisting of non-working citizens of retirement age, consisting of three people.

tariff x 18 sq.m x 0.5 = 66.60 rub.

A similar option, but the owner of a residential premises at the age of 83 years:

Tariff x 18 sq.m = 133.20 rub.

It should be borne in mind that the law provides for the payment of compensation for the payment of the contribution for major repairs, and not the exemption of citizens from paying the contribution.
