What benefits does a family with a disabled child have? Free travel on public transport. Deadlines for granting pensions

Last update March 2019

A disabled child requires much more attention, care and time than children without developmental disabilities. This leaves its mark on the life of their family. In this regard, benefits are established at the state level for parents who have a disabled child, which are designed to make work life easier, reduce tax burden, improve the living conditions of such families, and so on. Read on to learn more about what benefits are provided for parents of disabled children by law and how to take advantage of them.

Who is a disabled child

A disabled child is a minor (under 18 years of age) who has:

A health disorder accompanied by a persistent disorder of body functions caused by injuries, diseases, or defects.
Complete or partial loss of the ability for self-care, independent movement, orientation, communication, control of behavior or learning.
Need to receive social measures protection, including rehabilitation and habilitation.

In this case, all of the listed signs must be observed simultaneously. That is, if a child diabetes, but this does not affect him in any way normal functioning, he can take care of himself, move around, etc., then the ITU does not recognize him as disabled.

Although even if all three signs are present, it is not a fact that disability will still be assigned. The level of loss of basic skills in self-care, etc., may be different for each person, so one person may be assigned a disability, while another with the same symptoms may not.

The decision to recognize a child as disabled is made by the ITU commission.

Category “child with childhood disabilities”: does it exist now?

Yes and no. Formally, the category “childhood disabled” existed until 2014, and when the child reached adulthood, he received this status. Now all disabled children, upon reaching their 18th birthday, undergo a new test ITU commission, at which the disability group is determined for them - 1,2 or 3 without the mark “disabled since childhood”.

For those who received this status before 2014, it is retained, as are all benefits provided for children with disabilities.

However, no benefits were provided for parents of disabled children either then (until 2014) or now. That is, in essence, the child’s disability as a basis for receiving benefits “works” until the child turns 18 years old.

Disabled child benefits for parents in 2019

In 2019, there are no fundamental changes regarding benefits for parents of disabled children, except for:

The entry into force of a new act with a list of diseases that are the basis for issuing additional meters of living space (formerly - Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 817 of December 21, 2004, became - List of diseases, approved by Order of the Ministry of Health of November 30, 2012 No. 991n). The new list has increased by one point.
Changes in the pension amount compared to 2018 as a result of indexation.

Otherwise, the volume of benefits at the federal level remained the same. Regional authorities do not have the right to narrow it, that is, to “remove” any of the benefits by their local act, but they can, if the budget allows, introduce additional ones.

First, let’s take a closer look at the federal benefits in effect in 2019.

Labor benefits for parents

Part-time work (Article 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

Each parent can take advantage of this preference at their place of work. To do this, it is necessary to provide the employer with an ITU conclusion.

The new work schedule is drawn up based on the interests of the employee, not the employer. Moreover, it can be introduced until the basis for providing part-time work disappears, that is, in cases of a disabled child - until he comes of age.

What to do next? If after passing the ITU, an adult child is again recognized as disabled; in the same Article 93, “caring for a sick family member on the basis of medical report" Therefore, in essence, this benefit will remain with the parents even when the child turns 18 years old.

Please note that remuneration for disabled parents is carried out on a general basis, that is, in proportion to the amount of work done or hours worked. But at the same time, the use of this benefit does not reduce vacation time, length of service and does not limit the employee’s other labor rights.

The right to refuse business trips to another region, going to work on holidays, weekends, at night or overtime (Article 259 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

Since this is the employee’s right, he can agree. But in this case, consent must be made in writing. Moreover, when an employer offers such working conditions, he must inform the parent of a disabled child in writing of the right to refuse them. If the employee does not agree, labor legislation protects his interests: he can refuse a business trip and go to work without any consequences for him.

Additional 4 days off per month with preservation of earnings (Article 262 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

This benefit is provided for one parent, or these 4 days can be “split” between parents at their discretion. To use it, you need to write an application to the employer. It is drawn up in the form approved by order of the Ministry of Labor dated December 19, 2014. No. 1055n "On approval of the application form for granting one of the parents (guardian, trustee) additional paid days off to care for disabled children." A sample form is below.

To the Director of April LLC
Kolomoitsev Igor Igorevich
Senior Sales Manager
Gudzikov Ivan Ivanovich

Application for provision to one of the parents (guardian, trustee)
additional paid days off
for caring for disabled children

In accordance with Article 262 of the Labor Code Russian Federation I ask you to provide me with additional paid days off to care for a disabled child on April 25-26, 2019 and April 29-30, 2019 in the amount of 4 calendar days.

I inform you that the second parent, Elizaveta Fedorovna Gudzikova, did not use the right provided for in Article 262 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, which is confirmed by a certificate from her place of work.

I am attaching documents (copies of documents) provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation for the provision of additional paid days off for caring for disabled children.

I confirm the accuracy of the information I provided.

Based on the results of consideration of the application, the manager issues an order. As mentioned above, the right to take 4 days off from a parent of a disabled person arises every month. These rest days are paid based on the average earnings per day.

The following documents must be attached to the application:

Certificate from the ITU office confirming disability;
A document confirming the child’s place of residence;
Child's birth certificate or document establishing guardianship/trusteeship;
A certificate from the second parent’s place of work stating that they did not use additional days off during the month of application or used them partially. If the second parent has died, gone missing, been deprived of parental rights or limited in them, is serving a prison sentence, is on a business trip for more than one month, and these circumstances can be documented, a certificate from the second parent’s place of work is not needed.

The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, in Resolution No. 1 of January 28, 2014, explained what to do if the employer refused to give additional days off to the parents of disabled children. In this case, the employee’s use of additional days off at his own discretion is not a disciplinary offense, that is, it cannot be considered absenteeism.

If parents did not use additional days off, then for the next month they are not carried over or accumulated in the future.

If there are several disabled children in a family, the number of days does not increase.

At the same time, additional days off are NOT PROVIDED to the parent of a disabled person during his:

The next annual paid leave;
"Free" vacation;
Leave to care for a child up to 3 years old.

In this case, the second working parent can fully exercise his right.

Use of annual leave at any time (Article 262.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

Only one parent (or guardian, trustee) can take a vacation at any time convenient for him/her if the family is full.

Additional leave for the parent of a disabled child (Article 263 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

It is a mandatory benefit if the corresponding clause is provided for in the collective agreement. The duration of the vacation is 14 days. However, wages for this period are not saved. Vacation is provided when it is needed and convenient for the employee, and not for the manager. It can be attached either to the main outlet or used separately. Unused additional vacation time cannot be carried over to the next year.

Early retirement (Article 32 of the Federal Law “On Insurance Pensions”)

Parents of a disabled person can retire 5 years earlier than the established age. However, this benefit is applicable only if you have a certain length of service:

For men, pension from age 55 – with 20 years of insurance coverage.
Women retire at age 50, with at least 15 years of service.

Counting the time of child care into the insurance period (Article 12 of the Federal Law “On Insurance Pensions”)

At the legislative level, the benefit is enshrined in Article 12 of the Federal Law “On Insurance Pensions”, but you can use it under certain circumstances:

the corresponding period is not counted towards the other parent when establishing an insurance pension;
the period of child care was preceded and/or followed by periods of work or other activity (regardless of their duration).

In addition, inclusion of time spent caring for a disabled person in the length of service is not an obligation for pension authorities. In order for this issue to be considered, the parent must submit an application, the form of which is established in Appendix No. 3 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 2, 2014 N 1015 “On approval of the Rules for calculating and confirming the insurance period for establishing insurance pensions.” An example of an application to include the period of caring for a disabled child in the insurance period can be seen below.

To the Branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation
in the Kemerovo region

Date of birth: October 13, 1951

Identity document, Russian Federation passport series 37 05 number 546789 by whom and when issued by the Department of the Federal Migration Service of Russia in Kemerovo during the period from 01/01/1974 to 04/05. 1980 provided care for citizen Kotenkin Ivan Andreevich, living at Kemerovo, st.

11/11/2008
E.G. Kotenkina

If the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation office refuses to enroll you, go to court with a statement of claim, attaching to it a written unsatisfactory response to your application.

Prohibition on dismissal at the initiative of the employer (Article 261 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

However, such a preference is established not for all parents of disabled children, but for certain categories of them:

Single mothers raising a disabled child under 18 years of age, or single fathers, other legal representatives of a disabled person raising him independently;
Parents (legal representatives) who are the sole breadwinner of a disabled child under 18 years of age.

If your employer, despite the law, breaks off your employment relationship with you, you can appeal his actions to the court.

Tax benefits

Parents of a disabled child have the right to receive a monthly personal income tax deduction. The only condition is that the parent must officially work.

The personal income tax deduction is provided for this category of persons, clause 4, part 1, article 218 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and amounts to:

12000 rub.- for natural parents and adoptive parents.
6000 rub– for a guardian, trustee, adoptive parent, spouse of an adoptive parent.

You can receive a deduction for each disabled child if he has not yet reached 18 years of age (or 24 years of age if he is studying at full-time training and is a disabled person of group I or II).

The deduction is provided to each of the parents, that is, the full family actually receives a double benefit.

To take advantage of the benefit, you can choose one of the following methods:

contact the accounting department at your place of work with an application and documents confirming your right to receive benefits;
fill out the 3-NDFL declaration yourself at the end of the tax year and send it to the territorial inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service, indicating in the column “ tax deductions" necessary information.

Deductions will begin from the month from which you contact the tax office. You can receive them in cash directly from the territorial inspectorate or from your employer if you provide him with an application and notification from the Federal Tax Service to confirm your right to receive social tax deductions.

Very important document, which determined the further enforcement practice of the Federal Tax Service on the issue of providing a personal income tax deduction to parents for a disabled child, is Letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated March 20, 2017 No. 03-04-06/15803.

The fact is that personal income tax deductions are provided for all persons who have children (not only disabled people). “Disability” only affects the amount of the deduction.

And if until 2017, the territorial inspectorates of the Federal Tax Service disagreed on issues of determining the amount of the deduction (whether to assign a deduction to the parents of a disabled person on one basis or on two), now the conflict has been eliminated:

the total amount of the standard tax deduction for a disabled child is determined by adding the amounts of the deduction provided for the reason related to the birth of the child (adoption, establishment of guardianship) and for the reason related to the fact that the child is disabled.

Example. Kushnarev A.E. works as a senior manager at the Horizon company. He has a 12-year-old disabled son. The wife takes care of the child and does not work anywhere. Until April 2017, he enjoyed a deduction of 12,000 rubles. After the publication of Letter No. 03-04-06/15803 of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated March 20, 2017 in the media, he contacted the territorial inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service with an application to recalculate the amount of the personal income tax deduction. A recalculation was carried out for him and the amount of deduction from April amounted to 13,400 rubles.

The transport tax benefit is regional in nature. This means that not all parents of disabled children can use it, but only those in whose regions of residence the local authorities have adopted the relevant law.

In particular, below are examples of subjects in the Russian Federation in which the specified category of persons is completely exempt from paying transport tax:

To take advantage of the benefit, you need to contact the local Federal Tax Service with documents (usually a passport, ITU conclusion, PTS and STS) and an application in the established form, which can be downloaded on the official website or will be given to fill out on site at the inspection.

If you do not declare to the tax office that you are entitled to a deduction, the tax will be charged in full.

Housing benefits

The provision of this type of benefits is regulated by Art. 17 Federal Law “On social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation”. According to its provisions, families (and in fact, parents of disabled people) are given the opportunity to receive:

Housing at public expense, if the family is registered as in need of improved housing conditions.
Compensation in the amount of 50% of housing maintenance fees (rent) and utilities (cold water, hot water, electrical energy, heating, wastewater disposal), as well as payment of the cost of fuel and transport for the delivery of this fuel - when living in houses that do not have central heating.
Compensation in the amount of no more than 50% of the contribution for major repairs.
Land for individual housing construction, farming and gardening.

At the same time, the law divides families of disabled people who can receive free housing into 2 categories:

Those that registered before January 1, 2005. There is a separate queue for them, consisting of preferential categories, including the same disabled people.
Those that registered after January 1, 2005. They stand in the general queue for housing without a priority right to receive housing first. As an exception, only families with a disabled person with a severe form of chronic disease, the list of which is specified in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 16, 2006 No. 378 (11 grounds in total), are entitled to receive an apartment out of turn.

In terms of area, housing should be provided based on regional standards for minimum living space per person. In Moscow, for example, this norm is 18 m2. However, for diseases listed in Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated November 30, 2012 No. 991n, additional space may be provided, but not more than double the norm.

Transport benefits

Previously, travel benefits to public transport were provided for by Article 30 of the Federal Law “On the social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation”. Today this article has been excluded, but this does not mean that the benefit does not apply.

The fact is that disabled children and their parents are classified as federal beneficiaries who have the right to receive social services, including free travel on suburban railway transport, as well as on intercity transport to and from the place of treatment. But if desired, they can replace the benefit in in kind for a cash payment, which will be paid simultaneously with the EDV, and in fact will be part of it. From February 1, 2018, the amount of such payment will be 118.94 rubles.

As for travel on public transport, the provision of this benefit is at the discretion of local authorities. And it is worth noting that in almost all regions of the country, disabled children and their parents enjoy the right to free travel on public transport. In particular, in Moscow, in order to take advantage of this benefit, you must apply for a Muscovite social card. For clarification, as this happens in other regions, it is better to contact local administrations or territorial social protection authorities.

Financial assistance to parents of disabled children

Parents of disabled children have the right to receive compensation if they are homeschooled. However, Article 19 of the Federal Law “On Social Protection of Disabled Persons in the Russian Federation” states that determining the amount of such compensation is at the discretion of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. That is, in order to find out exactly how the amount of compensation is calculated in your region, you need to check with the self-government authorities what act regulates this issue.
Monthly allowance for a non-working parent of a disabled child. For parents it is 5500 rubles, and for trustees, guardians, foster parents– 1200 rub. But from April 1, 2018, indexation of these amounts is expected, so the indicated figures may soon no longer be relevant.

The official recipients of these benefits are the parents of disabled people. But at the same time, the state also allocates funds for disabled children themselves, which de jure are accrued to the children, and de facto go to the family budget. More details about all types cash assistance, which families that include disabled children receive, are described in the article....

Special children need special care. The country guarantees that disabled children and their relatives are provided with rights and benefits. The authorities regularly make adjustments in accordance with the wishes and needs of citizens. Below are benefits for parents of disabled children in 2018.

What benefits are available to parents for caring for a disabled child?

In addition to the money provided to families with children, there are separate ones provided for special families.

Social authorities The protection of the population is obliged to inform about the assistance provided by the state, but in practice this does not always happen, due to the human factor.

tax;
individual working conditions and pensions;
voucher and travel for relatives of a disabled person;
discounts on housing and communal services;

regional payments of a certain nature.

It’s worth understanding each in more detail and finding out the benefits amounts for 2019. Financial literacy will help you avoid losses and deprivations of the guaranteed volume of services.

A tax deduction implies a reduction in wages subject to tax in a certain amount. If the child's representative or guardian disabilities receives a payment of 25,000 before taxes, then the benefit amount will first be deducted from this amount, and the remaining amount will be subject to income tax of 13% according to the Labor Code.

In 2018 The amount of tax deduction preferences depends on the employee’s status in relation to the child:

12,000 – to the relatives of the mother and father;
6000 – to guardians.

The benefit is provided to each of the employed parents (guardians), and for a single mother or father it is multiplied by 2.

The benefit is provided to parents or guardians until the annual income in total does not exceed 360,000 rubles. From the date on which the value is exceeded, payments will stop until the end of the year. After the onset of a new period, they will resume.

Following the example with the salary of each working parent being 25,000 rubles, the final salary will be:

25000 – 12000 (non-taxable amount) = 13000
13000 (taxable) - 13% = 11310

Thus, monthly earnings will be 12,000 + 11,310 = 23,310 rubles.

If a parent does not exercise his right to tax benefit, his salary will be 25,000 – 13% = 21,750 rubles.

A single mother or father will receive payment in the amount of 24,870 rubles.

Salary before VAT – Benefit amount = Taxable amount
Amount received from formula 1 – 13% = Amount taxed on income
By adding the resulting number from formula 2 and the size of the benefit, you can get the amount of the final salary.
If there is only one person claiming this, the benefit amount should be multiplied by 2.

You can write an application remotely on the website or in person at the tax office. It will take a little time, but will significantly increase the salary for your work. The well-being of a social unit depends on the readiness for a responsible approach.

Housing benefits

Relatives and families raising a disabled child are provided with benefits related to his or her housing. This problem is acute throughout the country; special people are in exceptional need of a comfortable and spacious place to live.

Every month, after paying 100% for housing and communal services, the family receives compensation in the amount of 50% of the amount paid.

Part of the fee for major repairs is compensated in the amount of up to 50%.

Land plots are provided for individual (individual housing construction) formation for running auxiliary and suburban farming.

Housing is provided for families on a waiting list (not necessarily for the original reason for helping families with a child).

Since 2006, the criteria for obtaining housing have changed. Families registered before this year are included in preferential priority, they are provided with residential facilities before others. Parents with a disabled person who registered after this year are included in the queue under normal conditions. The exception is children with a severe progressive illness or an individual decision of local authorities.

For Moscow, the provided area is calculated at 19 square meters. m. for each family member living with a disabled person.

If a family has been on a waiting list for more than 10-15 years, they should seek clarification from the local government or the presidential administration. In this way, a situation of prolonged inactivity can be resolved more quickly.

Transport benefits

The issue of delivering a person to the point of providing him with help is quite acute. Regional benefits do not exclude federal ones, but they can be increased or new ones added. On given time The article of the Federal Code of the Russian Federation, guaranteeing free travel for children and relatives (guardians), has been abolished. But in many regions this benefit has been preserved and is provided in full.

To take advantage of this right in Moscow, you must apply for a Muscovite social card. You can check with local government institutions about registration in other cities.

Federal benefits for providing free travel to the place of treatment, rehabilitation and back have not changed and are given free of charge. This serves as an invaluable help to many.

Families with disabled children can also receive a partial or 100% discount on the tax payment for a registered vehicle. Size and capacity are regulated by local governments. The only condition is that the number of horsepower of the car should not exceed 150 units.

Financial assistance to relatives of disabled children

There are several types of payments promised to relatives and children, regulated by Federal legislation:

federal EDV for VOC;
regional;

compensation for the full or partial amount of payments for housing and communal services, sanatorium and spa treatment, medicines, travel on public transport and other servants from the set social benefits(in case of refusal to provide);
payment to compensate for rising prices food products, size, which for 2018 is 675 rubles. per month;
all social payments assigned to families with children.

Benefits are cumulative and not mutually exclusive. But it is worth remembering that they are part of the family’s income in the eyes of the state and can lead to removal from the queue (the family is there due to low income). Payments may also affect other opportunities provided to the family depending on the overall profit.

The amount of the compensation fee is not taxed and is given in full.

Benefits for a disabled child at work

Every working person who is dependent on a disabled person has a justification for a number of benefits provided for by labor law. A person has the right to enjoy priority or not.

If the situation cannot be resolved peacefully, you should file a complaint with the labor inspectorate. The absence of a contract makes a person non-working in the eyes of the state.

provided for by Federal Law. A parent or representative is paid 5,500 rubles, other people – 1,200 rubles;
