Social benefits for retirement care. Money allowance for elderly care: who and how can receive it? Order of appointment and execution

Content

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 pensioner 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 of 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, there is an opportunity at the state level to receive assistance from other citizens, which is paid by the Pension Fund.

Compensation is paid monthly along with the 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 in need of 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 older than 80 years means the organization of food, domestic, household and hygiene services by a person who voluntarily undertook such work. Different disabled people require their own 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 a will must be written.

Compensation payment for caring for 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 p., That is 2400 p.

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:

citizenship of the Russian Federation;
permanent residence in Russia;
disability under pension law;
lack of income from labor and business activities (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 care for an elderly person

Caring for grandparents older than 80 years involves a simple procedure for registration. 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 who cares for him 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 State 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:

Application for compensation.
Passport / Birth Certificate.
Workbook / Certificate from the educational institution indicating the estimated time of graduation.
Certificate from the employment service about the absence of unemployment benefits.
Confirmation of the absence of entrepreneurial activity (certificate from the tax authority).
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:

Passport.
Consent from the ward pensioner to a specific person, indicating the name and passport information of both.
Pensioner's ID.
SNILS.
Extract from the conclusion of the medical and social examination of disability.
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;
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;
a request for compensation with reference to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 12/26/2006 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.

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 the missing necessary certificates 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 in person or transferred to the Pension Fund (territorial branch) personally. 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 the PF branch, which 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 labor 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 indicated 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 departure 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 a reimbursement to a future pensioner of the transfer of insurance contributions for this time. The compensation amount for non-insurance periods included in, in each case, is determined personally.

Reasons for terminating 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:

Compensated:
- got a job;
- 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 decided to give up duties;
- began to receive a pension;
- drafted into the army.
Ward:
- lost the I disability group due to the revision of the previously assigned group;
- left the country, deregistered;
- it is aimed at permanent residence in an institution of state social services;
- has died.

Let us consider in what cases care for an elderly person takes place, and how the Pension Fund monitors the care of a pensioner.

What is elderly care?

As old age approaches, it becomes more difficult for a person to serve himself. Almost all older people have a history of chronic diseases, so it becomes even harder. In this case, support from another person is required. Relatives usually help old people.

If a pensioner is over 80 years old, then a caring relative has the right to compensation in the amount of 1200 rubles from the Pension Fund.

Compensation is paid every month, along with pensions. Not all people can take care. Only Russians who do not officially work are allowed to leave and do not receive unemployment benefits.

Care for an elderly pensioner can not only a relative, but also a completely stranger. The category of disabled citizens who have the right to care includes:

disabled people of the first group;
all senior citizens over 80 years of age;
retirees, whom the medical commission recognized as needing supervision.

Responsibilities of the caregiver

Helping a disabled person is a responsibility. Patronage involves the organization of catering, the solution of domestic and household problems, assistance in hygienic care. Help is always different, because everything is determined by the state of human health.

Quite often, pensioners draw up an agreement with their assistant in which they indicate the required responsibilities. It could be:

Payment of utilities (the funds go to the ward of a pensioner).
Purchase of food, hygiene, clothing, shoes, etc.
Help with domestic issues (call the master, etc.).
Acquisition of medications, monitoring, so that a person takes them in accordance with the appointment of the attending physician.
Health monitoring, in particular, measuring blood pressure, glucose in the body, temperature, heart rate, etc.
Sending and receiving correspondence.

With such custody, automatic inheritance of the ward’s real estate is not expected. But the elderly person himself has the right to leave his property to the able-bodied assistant. As a rule, a will is drawn up for this.

Requirements for a caring citizen

Not everyone can apply for patronage for an elderly person. The legislation of the Russian Federation clearly establishes certain conditions:

Citizenship of the Russian Federation.
Permanent residence in the territory of the Russian Federation.
Disability in accordance with pension legislation.
A citizen who will provide care should not officially work under an employment contract or contract, be an individual entrepreneur.
The caregiver is not registered with the employment service as an unemployed citizen.

Nursing can be done by a student or a student over 16 years old, because study is not a labor activity, and a student’s scholarship is not considered a source of income.

How does the FIU check those who have patronized an older person?

Suppose a pensioner of 85 years old filed an application with the FIU to care for her. Her request was granted. 1200 rubles were added to her pension provision. But in fact, this has become an increase in pension, since it serves itself independently, care is not carried out. In this regard, the question arises, how does the FIU control patronage?

The Rules for Appointment of Compensation Payment state that a pensioner and a caregiver are not required to live together. Therefore, it is impossible to impute this circumstance to a caring citizen, respectively, to cancel the compensation payment.

However, the Rules clearly stipulate that 1200 rubles are paid for the entire period of care for a disabled person. Therefore, the grounds for cancellation may be:

A written statement from a disabled pensioner that he no longer needs patronage.
Other documentation received by the Pension Fund, if it gives rise to an additional investigation.

If the termination of care actually occurred, but the pensioner still receives 1200 rubles, then you will have to return this money for the period when the service was not provided. The basis is unjust enrichment.

In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, the Pension Fund is entitled to check any circumstances that affect the purpose and termination of the payment of pension benefits.

If there is evidence that the FIU is being deceived, then the employee can go to this pensioner and conduct an on-site check. An act is also drawn up that confirms or refutes the information. In most cases, verification is carried out in cases where the application was received not personally from the pensioner (by mail, etc.), and the signature is not certified by a notary.

There were no other precedents when PFR officers conduct an audit. A citizen who will look after a disabled person will be more thoroughly checked. He is checked for official work. Often, employees track a personalized account. If there appears information about the experience, then the money is required back.

Few residents of the Russian Federation know that the state annually lays down the amount for the payment of benefits for those who care for the elderly. The allowance for caring for an elderly person is not very large. But even this small amount will be an excellent help in this situation. Payment is made on a monthly basis, in order to register the right to a benefit, as well as the beginning of payments to the account, it is necessary to collect and provide a full package of documents to the local branch of the Russian Pension Fund at the place of residence.

According to recent studies, the percentage of people in Russia who are considered old according to the international classification, and this is reminded by people from 65 years old, has settled at 13% points. And if you calculate the percentage based on the retirement age established in Russia, then the figure will increase significantly. Many of the elderly are no longer able to independently solve everyday household issues. Someone in this matter comes to the aid of the next of kin who look after the pensioner. But what about those who have no one and no help to wait for? It makes sense to contact the social welfare services in your city. These are state structures whose tasks include the provision of services of a social worker who will assist the pensioner in resolving everyday issues. The services of such employees are free. There are also volunteer organizations where volunteers provide assistance to the elderly and also free of charge.

Abroad, such citizens often move to nursing homes, where they are guaranteed round-the-clock care and control by medical personnel. In our country, the level of nursing homes wants to leave better or the cost of staying will be no lower than a vacation abroad.

To support those who provide all possible assistance to the elderly citizens of Russia, the Russian government adopted a number of laws that established the amount of the allowance paid to the guardian for caring for an elderly person. The size of payments, of course, does not correspond to financial costs, but compensates for at least something. In addition, in order to receive a payment, it is necessary to comply with a number of requirements.

In the case of people who, due to illness or other incidents, have completely lost their ability to work (as a rule, have become disabled 1 group), care for them can be carried out regardless of their age. For the working-age population, this age starts at 80 years. Payment can be made both to relatives of the pensioner, and to persons who are not in kinship, taking care of their own initiative. An impressive list of requirements for a candidate for payments from the budget is as follows:

Permanent residence in the Russian Federation. The presence of a residence in the country indicated in official documents.
Disability of a carer. This means that he should not have any prohibitions on work. He has the right to work, but he cannot work in connection with the care of a pensioner.
Full-time study at any educational institution or official absence of a place of work. As soon as the guardian officially gets a job or transfers to part-time education, payments will stop immediately.
Consent of the guardian (elderly person) to the guardian. Without this permission, one cannot take care of a pensioner and receive payments.
If the guardian is over 14 years old but still underage, it will be necessary to obtain permission from the child’s parents, more precisely, the consent of one parent is sufficient.
Provide the original document on the absence of state benefits and pensions.

The nuances of getting an elderly care allowance

All care benefits are paid only to officially unemployed citizens; they are not eligible for all other categories. The guardian's tasks include providing and organizing meals for a pensioner, conducting household measures to care for housing, as well as maintaining the normal health of the pensioner. As already mentioned above, it is not necessary to be a relative of an elderly citizen, nor does anyone oblige to live around the clock with a person older than 80 years old together in the same living space. All guardians carry a lot of physical activity, providing a decent life to their wards. Many do not withstand morally, since often such citizens are lying or with severe disruptions in life processes. As an addition to material compensation, care activities are taken into account in the work book as a seniority of a citizen. But for this it is necessary that the guardian has a place of official work before the start of the guardian activity and after the end of it. Cases that fall under compensation.

Compensation Terms	Exceptions and Additions	Denial of payments
Senior citizen age 80 or more	If recognized as a disabled person of group 1 (the exception is childhood invalids)	Payments will absolutely be refused if the pensioner receives additional pensions of the following types: retirement of an employee of the bodies of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB and others; pension received from pension insurance funds; additional pension from the state due to special status.
The decision of the medical commission that a citizen cannot independently carry out actions to maintain an adequate standard of living	Age is not important, by the decision of the commission, guardianship can be assigned to an adult citizen of any age.

Available Benefit Amounts

At the federal level, the amount of the allowance for caring for the elderly has been set at around 1,200 rubles. But, as in other preferential legislation, the subjects of the Russian Federation have the right to establish their allowances and multiplying coefficients for all benefits for socially vulnerable groups of the population. Basically, such a right is enjoyed by guardians who perform their duties in areas of the Far North, regions that are equated to the north by status. As well as certain regions where, due to any conditions, additional financial costs are required from the side of the guardian.

The procedure for processing payments for the care of an elderly citizen

With the introduction of electronic document management among state bodies and when citizens contacted them, filing various kinds of applications has become much easier. And also reduced the time for answering petitions. Currently, in order to apply for nursing benefits, you must:

The consent of the senior citizen to guardianship in writing, where he also indicates that he agrees to the specific candidacy of the guardian. Anonymized consent is not accepted.
The guardian must contact the PFR office of the retiree. If you have any questions, then it is best to contact in person to get advice from competent specialists. In the absence of questions, the application is submitted electronically through the portal of public services.
The maximum review period is set at 10 working days, i.e., excluding weekends and holidays.
The guardian must be notified of the refusal to provide payments no later than 5 days after the date of the decision.
The first payment will be made on the month of submitting the application, if the decision is made already next month, then recalculation will be made and compensation will be calculated for the days of the last month.
The refusal must be motivated, that is, it must explain what caused the decision. If documents were incorrectly or incompletely submitted, then this shall be notified separately.

When circumstances arise in a guardian’s life that entail the termination of payment of care benefits, for example, finding a job, death of a ward, etc., he is obliged to notify the pension fund authorities within 5 days. Such applications are accepted electronically through the public services website, but you can also submit it in person at the PFR office.

An attempt to receive payment for caring for elderly people if they lose their grounds at best will entail payment of the amount that the budget managed to transfer for a time when there were no grounds for payments. At worst, it could end in a criminal case under fraud and a real criminal term. Separately, there are circumstances of the termination or suspension of payments associated with the death of the guardian or the transfer of the guardian to a new place of residence.

It is possible to receive compensation for payments for the past three years if it is possible to prove that the care was carried out, but for some reason the guardian did not contact the pension fund. If there was an appeal, the payment was appointed, but for some reason it was not transferred to the FIU, then the entire amount is reimbursed, regardless of the limitation of the decision on the due payments.

The collection of all documents takes a little time, in case of shortage of any papers, 3 months are given for their collection and provision.

Full list of documents for submission to the FIU

The current list of documents is as follows:

A claim for payments from a carer for an elderly citizen.
A written application for the need to leave the guardian, as well as written consent for a specific person who will act as a guardian. Accordingly, only a person approved by a pensioner should write a claim for payments. In some cases, government bodies have the right to initiate a handwriting examination to confirm the authenticity of the signature of an elderly person.
The conclusion of the medical and social examination that this citizen needs a guardian.
The consent of the parents if the guardian is over 14 years old, but less than 18.
Certificate of full-time training.
Notarized power of attorney in the case of filing documents through a 3rd person.

The requirement by the pension fund authorities of additional securities from the applicant is unlawful. All documents related to the pension file of the guardian or guardian are sought by the FIU independently, and also makes inquiries to other state bodies. Such documents include certificates from the employment service, confirmation of the absence of social benefits from someone and the number of accrued pension payments.

Separately, it is worth noting that the compensation payment to the caring citizen is transferred by the department of the pension fund where the ward receives a pension. Therefore, applying for a benefit should also be submitted only to this department and not to any other.

Conclusion

Caring for the elderly citizens of our country remains a matter rather voluntary than a source of income. The amount of compensation is not able to cover the costs of maintaining the elderly, so the appearance of professional guardians, as abroad, is impossible in our country. Raising payments to an acceptable level would help bring the standard of living of people over 80 and persons with disabilities to a new qualitative level.

The elderly care allowance is provided every month and is transferred to the retirement account of each elderly person, the care of which is officially the responsibility of the guardian. The transfer of the amount of 1200 rubles lies with the guardian, the guardian himself is not entitled to take money from his account. At the moment, this benefit is not subject to income tax, although such a benefit is not spelled out in tax legislation. If the caregiver passes away but does not withdraw or use his care payments, then the entire amount is included in the amount of the inheritance and is divided in accordance with the rules of inheritance. All design fits into a couple of actions:

collection of necessary documents;
certificates of absence of a job and pensions;
certificate of disability;
filing an application with the FIU from the guardian and guardian;
receiving a positive response;
start of payments.

And do not forget that in the event of circumstances that terminate the right to payments, the period for notification of state bodies is 5 days.

An elderly mother, like any person who has crossed the line of old age, needs care. For children, this task becomes a priority, because, having assumed such responsibility as looking after a disabled person of retirement age, you need to understand: do you have the necessary knowledge and skills to fulfill such a difficult duty. In addition to everything else, you need to have nerves of steel and moral endurance. This article will reveal all the nuances regarding the relationship that develops during the period of care for an elderly mother from all aspects of the social and legal plan.

Caring for an elderly mother according to law

The Criminal Code provides for one single article governing the protection of the interests of elderly fathers and mothers.

Article 157 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for the establishment of legal consequences as a result of evading the maintenance of disabled parents and children from the financial side of the issue:

The first part is aimed at protecting the rights of minors and disabled children who are already 18 years old from a malicious violation of the payment of alimony from parents determined by the court. Evasion leads to sanctions, indicated in the form of forced labor for one year or less, or in the form of arrest for a period of time indicated by three months, or in the form of imprisonment for up to one year.
By the same analogy, the state regulates the fulfillment of obligations by adult able-bodied children in relation to disabled parents, introducing similar sanctions for violation and evasion of payment of alimony prescribed by law.

The Family Code, as a state normative legal act, also regulates relations relating to elderly parents and their able-bodied children. The Family Code spells out the obligation of an able-bodied adult child to take care, care for and allocate funds for the maintenance of a father or mother in need of this assistance (Article 87 of the RF IC):

If there is no agreement on the payment of alimony on the part of able-bodied children, the rights of an incapable parent include the opportunity to apply to the authorities for legal proceedings to recover money if the father or mother need material assistance.
The court takes into account the marital and financial situation of both parties (both children and parents), including “others deserving of the interests and attention of the parties” and establishes a fixed amount of money - “alimony”, which must be paid monthly.
Judicial authorities have the right to take into account all adult children who are able-bodied in order to determine the amount of monthly alimony, even if the applicant indicated only one of them in the lawsuit.

The possibility of children not fulfilling their duties aimed at maintaining an elderly mother is stipulated by law. Parents (plaintiffs) who at one time evade from fulfilling their direct parental duties and are deprived of parental rights fall under the amendment to the law.

Thus, these circumstances are an exception, in all other cases, an elderly and disabled mother has the full right to uphold the recovery of child support in the courts.

In addition to cash payments in the form of alimony, able-bodied children are charged with providing additional financial support to the elderly parent (father or mother) by participating in their unforeseen expenses (Article 88 of the RF IC):

The court has the right to impose an obligation to reimburse or incur expenses caused by exceptional circumstances, which include: injury or serious illness, the ability to pay for extraneous care and other things if adult children of working age have stopped or never cared for their disabled mother, and about father.
As in the case of the establishment of alimony, the payment and the amount of financial assistance for the additional expenses of the parent is established taking into account all of the above nuances (marital status: number of children, material condition of an able-bodied child, etc.), as prescribed by the provisions and articles of the Family Code.
The parameters of the stipulated payment can be determined by agreement of the parties, if they manage to come to a total amount.

What you need to apply for a sick leave certificate for a disabled elderly mother

A sick leave certificate for temporary disability at least once in a life had to be issued to each working citizen during the period of professional activity. Usually, sick leave is issued for the period of the child’s illness or the employee’s malaise. However, cases related to continuous care in connection with a serious illness of an elderly family member (for example, related to an illness of an elderly mother) are not excluded. The current legislation regulates such situations, payments on issued sick leave are made in accordance with the established rules. In the case of registration of caring for an elderly mother and receiving a sheet of temporary disability, her adult able-bodied children have the first right.

Family legislation defines the members of one family, which include: spouses and their children, parents of spouses (fathers and mothers), close relatives are also legally defined, which include: brothers and sisters of elderly pensioners, their uncles and aunts. All of the above categories of relatives can be eligible for benefits on sick leave issued to care for the elderly. Payments for sick leave legally are provided in case of manifestation of the initiative by a distant relative who plans to take care of an elderly disabled person. The legislation also includes among family members people who have no blood relationship with an elderly person, it can be: teachers and pupils, guardians, etc. Living together in a common area - in one apartment or house, cannot affect the right to care for an elderly relative, if the need arose.

What you need to get paid sick leave for caring for an elderly mother or father:

The most important condition in the first place is the fact of establishing: how real is the care for a disabled mother. If the opposite is established, and in fact care is not carried out, the court has the right to recover the entire amount paid on the sick leave certificate, even if it is framed in accordance with all the rules and is legally correct.
The second condition is considered to be treatment on an outpatient basis, that is, an elderly mother has indications for compulsory treatment at home. If the attending physician sends for treatment to the hospital, patient care is transferred to the medical staff, and the hospital care provider exhausts its meaning. After discharge, in connection with the passage of all necessary procedures in a hospital, for rehabilitation at home, it is possible to open a sick leave if this fact is really undeniable.
A person making out care for an elderly relative must have an official job, be an adult, not of retirement age. Otherwise, the design of a sheet of temporary disability has no legal basis.

There are additional features and nuances established by state regulatory legal acts that may arise between the legal relations of the state and the employee regarding the registration of temporary disability. A striking example is the Federal Law on the Regulation of Social Insurance, which specifies the conditions for registration and issuance of sick leave with a possible duration of its time frame, with a list of citizens who will take care of it and will be paid with a 100% guarantee.

The following regulatory acts are directly related to the regulation of legal relations in this area:

articles 124 and 183 of the labor code;
articles 217 and 255 of the tax code;
a decree indicating the approval of the Regulation on the procedure for calculating and paying benefits related to temporary disability;
health Fundamentals Act No. 323 of 2011;
an order on the issuance and execution of sick leave (No. 624 of 2011).

The information disclosed above determines the attitude of an elderly mother to relatives, care for which can take place after receiving a document on temporary disability with the receipt of the corresponding cash payments in the form of benefits.

A relative, a family member or a close person has the right to a paid sick leave (the list includes, among other things, adult able-bodied children) who care for the following categories of citizens:

Elderly people.
Mother in old age.
Adult relative.

We repeat that the citizen who is a relative or close person (according to family law) who actually takes the responsibility to care for a sick or elderly person has the opportunity to apply for a sick leave certificate for temporary disability and receive cash payments for care. The process of registration and obtaining a sick leave required for caring for an elderly mother is not particularly difficult. The procedure is debugged and simple: first of all, you need to contact any medical structure where they will definitely help you. The clinic of any property right (both public and private) has the right to issue documents on temporary disability, if it has the appropriate license to conduct such activities. As a result of the examinations and diagnostics, the diagnosis is made, as a result of which the doctor makes or cancels the decision and the appointment of treatment on an outpatient basis at home. A sick leave certificate is received by a person who is taking care of an elderly disabled person, including his mother.

Often, it is required to document the existence of family ties, since when filling out a sick leave, the corresponding encoding is put in the desired column. Children can present a birth certificate (if it is a mother or father), the spouse - a marriage certificate, except for a valid passport. Therefore, it is better to take with you all the documents that 5 we indicated in this article. Sometimes a doctor writes out a document by verifying a relative or close person, especially if there is no blood relationship. According to the law, the period of paid sick leave in case of taking care of an elderly mother is equal to a week, initially issued for three days with the right to extend up to 7 days. In total, no more than 30 days can be paid from the FSS for a year if you have to draw up a certificate of incapacity for work several times to undergo outpatient treatment of an elderly relative.

Recall that only one carer can receive a sick leave, for which a disability benefit will be paid.

The above has exceptions if violations have occurred:

falsification of a hospital document;
corrections were made or mistakes were made when filling out the sheet;
the medical structure does not have a license to carry out such manipulations related to discharge of sick leave.

Reduction in the amount of monetary compensation can be a violation by the elderly mother of a doctor’s prescription and a violation of the regime established by a medical organization. Identification of violations entails putting a special mark on the document itself, which will significantly affect the reduction in the amount of payment.

Sick pay algorithm:

employer accounting accrues benefits;
the employer pays the first three days;
in case of extension of the sheet for temporary incapacity for work, the remaining 4 days are paid from the FSS.

Typically, the amount of sick pay is summarized with the upcoming payment at the enterprise and accrued simultaneously with it.

Elderly Mother Care: Compensation Payments

Another way to apply for benefits is to receive a monthly compensation payment for caring for an elderly person, in order to help him with everyday domestic affairs. It is allowed to draw up compensation payments to all able-bodied citizens of Russia without an official income. The amount of this allowance is fixed, its value is equal to 1200 rubles. The accrual occurs to the retirement of an elderly mother every month.

Legislation has identified these groups:

disabled people with the first group;
senior citizens in need of constant care by decision of a medical college;
old age, legally determined to reach 80 years.

Disabled children and people with disabilities from childhood receive monthly payments instead of compensation, which is regulated by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 175 of 2013.

This does not take into account the kinship or community of territorial residence. The main thing is compliance with certain conditions:

permanent residence in the subject of the Russian Federation;
working capacity;
no employment for official work;
this should be the only compensation from the state (a citizen should not receive a pension, unemployment benefit, etc.).

The last point is of the greatest importance: if the citizen already has income, then caring for the elderly mother as partial compensation is obtained by repaying from the state pursuing the same goal. So a pension or any other allowance is in itself a part of the possible income received from the state. If a person receiving compensation payments gets a formal job and begins to receive income from labor activity, you must inform the pension fund within five business days. The same changes in income changes in connection with the registration of a pension or unemployment benefit. Starting from sixteen years, a citizen has the right, with the consent of legal representatives, without prejudice to education and health, to take care of elderly relatives. The legal representative gives permission if this type of activity, in his opinion, does not adversely affect the study and health of a sixteen-year-old citizen.

Compensation payment for caring for an elderly mother in the amount of 1200 rubles is comparable to the amount for caring for children with disabilities of the first group from childhood (it all depends on the degree of relationship):

a citizen caring for a disabled child or a disabled person from childhood is not a legal representative - the allowance is assigned in the amount of 1200 rubles, by analogy with the above compensation;
a citizen who is the legal representative of a disabled child, as well as a disabled person from childhood in the first group - the allowance is assigned in the amount of 5500 rubles.

Only one citizen can look after one disabled person, as defined at the legislative level. But you can take care of several disabled elderly people at the same time, receiving the amount of payments corresponding to the number of wards. The amount of the allowance for caring for an elderly mother can be increased by a district coefficient: 1200 rubles when multiplied by this indicator, for example, in the Far East it will be slightly higher than in other regions. So the fixed value of the compensation payment may vary, depending on the region. To begin registration of this type of allowance for the care of elderly citizens, you need to collect documents and apply to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation by writing a statement in the established manner. You can find out in advance which documentation package is needed there by making an appointment with a specialist. Then you receive a receipt from the PF employee about the receipt of documents, or he makes copies on the spot from all documents. Within a specified 10-day period, you will be informed of the consideration of the application. But in practice, this happens on the day of contact, if the documents are all in order and you have not missed any important point. From the month in which the application was submitted, the payment of compensation to the applicant begins. For example, if you submitted documents with a statement on May 11, 2018, then from May 2018, compensation will be calculated.
