Law on Veterans, art. 20: comments and features

In our society there are citizens who have special merits. The state provides all kinds of benefits to them. The Law "On Veterans", art. 20, in particular, describes the preferences that are granted to certain categories of citizens. This paragraph of the law seems not entirely understandable to ordinary people, as it refers to other acts, to find a text that not everyone is capable of. Let's see what the feature of Art. 20 of the Law on Veterans of the Second World War, as it is correctly read and understood.

Who is concerned

Any document must be properly disassembled so as not to be mistaken in its interpretation. To begin with, the Law "On Veterans" (Article 20 including) describes step by step what privileges and preferences are imposed on certain categories of citizens. And first of all, they come to light. That is, the text specifies the specific parameters by which people who fall within the scope of this document are identified. From the name it appears that these are veterans of the Second World War. But this is just a general name. Veterans include those who fought, people who participated in the partisan movement, workers in the rear, and many others. And each category has its own rights, which specifies the Law "On Veterans". Art. 20 of the document outlines some of the categories. Namely, it speaks about citizens who:

• They worked in the rear during the Second World War (from June 22, 1941 to May 9, 1945). Their record should be at least six months. The list does not include people who lived on temporarily occupied territories.
• Citizens who have awards for selfless labor during the Second World War.

It turns out that under the effect of Art. 20 of the Law on Veterans of the Second World War, there are only two categories.

The meaning of the document

The text of the article is short. It says that the social protection, indicated above, of categories of beneficiaries is shifted to the authorities of the relevant subjects of the federation. That is, the government of the Russian Federation is not responsible for those benefits and services that other veterans of the Second World War receive in accordance with the law. This question is not only financial. The fact is that Russia is a very big country. Each subject has his own problems and opportunities. In addition, the population is also distributed non-uniformly, including veterans. Somewhere people who are covered by the Law "On Veterans", art. 20 of which, in particular, more, in other regions they live in units. The figures reflecting the average level of income also vary. It's not a secret that the benefits are calculated taking into account the funds received by the population and the necessary expenses. Therefore, these categories of citizens are provided on the basis of the situation in the region.

Where to apply to citizens?

What do people who are affected by the Law on Veterans (Article 20)? Benefits they like are laid, but with whom they can not be asked. Understand at the local level. Each constituent entity of the federation has a legislative body. In his archive you need to look, and even better - write an appeal and ask for clarification. B The material means and other benefits are under the jurisdiction of the bodies of social protection. In principle, it is there and it is necessary to go to a person who is subject to the law in question. But, you should remember that you still have to prove your status. And for this to produce documents. According to Art. 20 of the Federal Law "On Veterans", benefits are given to those who have a certain length of service in the rear. He, as a rule, is listed in the work book. But not everyone has such a document.

How to prove your status?

This need to be known already rather not by the beneficiaries themselves, but by the persons who care for them. After all, people who worked until 1945, now for many years. Not everyone will be able to run around the offices and archives. And to prove the status it is necessary with references and letters. If there is a work record - well. It indicates in which settlement and in which enterprise the person worked. But not every record was made out at the time, as required by law. Sometimes they forgot about dates, names, seals. All have to prove. That is, write to the archival institution of the subject of the federation where the person worked. Sometimes, the process of gathering evidence is delayed. There are situations when a person does not have a few days before the six-month period of service, and in this case, as the Law on Veterans of the Second World War (Article 20) says, he is not entitled to benefits. It's a shame that no memories or stories help. The state institution requires documentary evidence.

Is it worth it to collect securities?

Indeed, why so much labor, is there any sense to waste energy? Specifically, the list of benefits can be found in the local regulatory framework. And the Federal Law says only about what they can be. Its text is advisory in nature. The list includes:

• Pension provision;
• health care;
• Prosthetics of teeth;
• Permits to the sanatorium;
• Payments for holidays;
• Advantages in the device in the home-boarding schools.

This is not a complete list. The subject can supplement it at his own discretion. As a rule, people of this category enjoy all of the listed preferences from the state. In the budgets of the subjects of the federation, funding is provided for the payment of these services. Funds are allocated, and citizens who apply for help, it is provided.

What real benefits are veterans of the rear?

The exact data varies by region. However, it can be stated that people who managed to get a certificate of a veteran of the rear can count on an increase in pensions. They put the so-called regional addition to the principal amount. The country takes care of - this is confirmed by Art. 20 of the Federal Law - veterans. Benefits are granted to them on demand, although many do not. It's just that the people do not know the legislation. So, about the opportunity to go to the sanatorium for free, some citizens are not aware, which indicates the inadequate work of the bodies of social protection. And who else will tell my grandmother what to ask for a ticket?

Fringe benefits

Often the state of health of beneficiaries is such that it does not allow them to leave far from home, these are all elderly people. Legislation does not establish that instead of a voucher, you can ask for funds that the budget "saved". And the details should be learned in your interview. For example, in large cities, some veterans are paid a visit to the pool twice a week. Now the former loggers were able to visit the Crimea at the expense of the state. But many have never seen the sea. They say that in sanatoriums everything is provided for caring for very elderly and sick people. And what did the government of your region come up with? Write in the comments. If we do not help each other, who else?

Conclusion

Many veterans now are tormented by the question, why does the federal budget pay to all, and the rear workers are local? It's not such a secret. The date of adoption of the law in question is 1995. Let's count. Let's say the average logger was in 1945 18 to 20 years old. In 1995, these people were equal to 68 - 70. How many were there at the time of the adoption of the law? You understand, quite a lot. As it is regrettable, the federal budget would not be "pulled" by all. Because these categories of beneficiaries were transferred to the field. Now, after another twenty years, these people are less and less. And providing them is getting better. And we owe them, do not we? The labor contribution to our Great Victory is not less valuable than the military one. What do you think?
