In this article we will tell you what the title of "veteran of labor" is, what it gives a citizen, and how you can get it.

Who are labor veterans

The honorary title of labor veteran was introduced relatively recently. Earlier, in the USSR, there was a medal "Veteran of Labour", the award of which did not give its owner special benefits or rights to any cash payments.

Today legal status and the general procedure for receiving the “veteran of labor” award (or rather, the title) are enshrined in Art. 7 federal law dated January 12, 1995 No. 5-FZ "On Veterans". Veterans of labor are understood to be citizens who have been awarded for conscientious and long-term work, and who have a “Veteran of Labor” certificate.

Assigning the title of "veteran of labor" is not only honorable, but also of practical importance, since a veteran's certificate allows you to count on some cash payments and benefits.

Labor veteran: experience and other conditions for obtaining the title

The right to receive the title is granted to citizens who have certain awards and seniority (taken into account when assigning a pension) of at least 25 years for men and 20 years for women. It can also be taken into account in the "veteran" length of service and length of service for the appointment of an appropriate pension (in calendar terms).

The right to receive the title of "veteran of labor" without awards is granted to citizens who began working at a minor age during the Second World War, whose work experience is at least 40 years for men and 35 years for women. Such citizens were not required to receive any additional awards or distinctions.

It is worth dwelling in more detail on what awards a citizen should have in order to be awarded the status of “veteran of labor”. In 2019, paragraph 1 of Art. 7 of the Law "On Veterans", according to which, the awards taken into account for conferring the title can be both state and departmental. State are Soviet and Russian orders, medals, honorary titles, certificates of honor and thanks from the President of the Russian Federation. Departmental insignia include insignia for labor merit and long-term work (at least 15 years) in a particular industry or field of activity - they are established by the relevant federal ministries and government agencies. For example, veterans of pedagogical work, in addition to the required length of service, must have the Insignia of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation - since December 2016, only this departmental award gives teachers the right to receive the title (order of the Ministry of Education and Science dated September 29, 2016 No. 1223).

Such conditions are provided by the law "On Veterans" No. 5-FZ, at the same time, paragraph 4 of Art. 7 of the same law allows the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to determine the requirements and procedure for conferring the title by their regulations. Regional social protection authorities establish what requirements (criteria) a citizen meets. Accordingly, you can become a so-called. "federal" labor veteran or "regional". Are there any differences between the regional and federal status of a veteran, we will consider further.

A labor veteran of Russia and a veteran of the region: what's the difference?

The regions have the right to independently determine measures of social support for citizens - labor veterans (Article 22 of Law No. 5-FZ). Therefore, along with the federal law "On Veterans", each region of Russia has its own laws on labor veterans. The federal law does not establish such concepts as “veteran of labor of the region”, “veteran of labor of the Russian Federation”, etc., but there are differences between them, and they are manifested in the benefits provided to the veteran.

Thus, a labor veteran of federal significance, who received his title and the corresponding benefits in one region, will lose the right to them, having moved to a new place of residence in another subject of the country, where its own law on social support is in force. But at the same time, he will be able to use the "veteran" benefits that apply in this new region.

A citizen who received the title of veteran in accordance with the criteria approved by regional, and not federal legislation (for example, “veteran of labor of the region”), when moving to another region, will be able to claim the benefits existing there only if he goes through the procedure for obtaining a “veteran” again certificates, but already in accordance with the requirements of the local law at the new place of residence. At the same time, there is no guarantee that the title will be received, because the requirements in each subject can vary significantly.

Labor veteran: benefits in 2019

You can find out what benefits veterans can expect from regional regulations. As a rule, veterans' benefits are expressed in the provision of certain social services without payment or on preferential terms, as well as in the form of monthly cash payments. For example, a labor veteran in Moscow can count on: free travel in public transport (except for taxis), commuter trains, a 50% discount on housing and communal services and housing costs, compensation for local telephone services in the amount of 190 rubles per month, free manufacturing and repair of dentures (only the cost of precious metals and cermets is not compensated). In 2018, non-working labor veterans of Moscow are provided with sanatorium and resort vouchers free of charge (if there are medical indications) and the cost of travel to the place of treatment and back by rail is compensated. In addition, payments to labor veterans in the capital include a monthly payment of 1,000 rubles. (Law of the City of Moscow dated November 3, 2004 No. 70 as amended on December 14, 2016).

Veterans of labor living in the Moscow region have benefits similar to Muscovites in many respects, they are also entitled to receive free medical care in regional medical institutions. While continuing to work, a labor veteran of the Moscow Region can count on the provision of annual basic paid leave at a convenient time for him, and has the right to take up to 35 days a year of leave without pay (regional law of March 23, 2006 No. 07/10/2018).

In some regions, veterans may be eligible for tax credits. For example, in Bashkiria, veterans of war and labor are exempt from paying transport tax in respect of a number of vehicles (Republican Law No. 365-z dated November 27, 2002, as amended on October 30, 2014).

How to get the title of "veteran of labor"

For registration of the title, one should apply to the social security authorities (located at the place of residence of the person). It is they who accept applications and related documents from citizens who wish to receive the title of “veteran of labor” for their labor merits. How many documents you have to collect to confirm your right depends on the specific regional rules that establish the procedure for registration. As a rule, before applying for a “veteran of labor”, you will need to provide:

Russian passport,

several photographs of a certain format,

documents confirming the required length of service and giving the right to the “veteran” title of the award,

if instead of a citizen, his representative applies to social security, you will need a power of attorney and a passport of this person.

Further, the assignment of a labor veteran depends on a special commission. The time during which the commission considers documents and makes a decision may vary in each subject, since this procedure is regulated by regional regulations on labor veterans.

If the decision of the commission is positive, the citizen is awarded an honorary title and a certificate is issued confirming the rights of a labor veteran.

By law, a labor veteran of federal significance (hereinafter VT FZ), due to the performance of conscientious and long-term work, may receive various preferential allowances and compensation from the state. But it is important to know and understand the procedure for forming and obtaining the appropriate title, which will be discussed in our material today.

Social supplements are also provided for by the VT FZ, which do not receive monthly deductions at the subsistence level.

Since 2016, changes have been made to the draft law to replenish the amount of pension contributions among the VT FZ. It was planned to increase the average indicators by 10-15%. But in practice, this innovation did not bring desired results due to the difficult economic situation in the country.

List of benefits

The entire list of preferential tariffs for the VT FZ is recorded in Article 22 of the Federal Law-5. The main benefits include the following:

Difference from regional

In addition to the title of VT FZ, the status is also distinguished regional veteran. But what is the difference between them? Let's figure it out right now:

Main similarities:

• preferential tariffs for housing and communal payments are the same - 50% compensation;

Basic differences:

• Benefits for dental prosthetics, free travel are allowed only by the VT FZ;
• the number of federal benefits is greater than that of regional ones;
• budget: payments to the VT FZ are made from the federal budget, and to regional ones - from the budgetary funds of a particular subject of the country;
• federal benefits are adjusted only by the authorities of the country, and local benefits are set by each subject independently;
• regional veterans cannot receive assistance from the federal budget, and VT FZ - from the regional;
• federal benefits can be used throughout the country, and regional - only at the place of actual residence.

The main rules and conditions for obtaining the status of the VT FZ are enshrined in Federal Law No. 5 " About veterans"(hereinafter FZ-5), which entered into force in 1995, namely on January 12. It is in this Federal Law-5 that the following important aspects are fixed:

IN short video, we invite you to get acquainted with the opinion of social experts. defense on how to get the title of labor veteran.

Getting the title of VT FZ is not as easy as it seems at first glance, especially after the change in legislation from July 1, 2016, as a result of which the period of service was increased to 25 and 20 years (men and women, respectively). Therefore, it is important to know and understand all the nuances of obtaining and registering the status of the VT FZ, which is discussed in detail in our material.

When a person begins to be interested in the issue of awarding veteranship, he may hear the definitions - "regional" and "federal" labor veteran. What is the difference and is there really one?

What the law says

In 1995, the veteran rank for workers was officially designated for the first time by the adoption of Federal Law No. 5. Up to this point, employees were encouraged by letters of appreciation, even awarded a medal with a similar name. However, there were regalia, but they did not give any privileges to citizens. The situation changed after the entry into force. The law called workers a privileged category of Russians, and clearly established benefits in the sphere of housing and communal services, medicine, transport, and so on. The honorary title was awarded to the majority of pensioners, since to obtain a certificate it was enough to earn a pension, and work conscientiously, achieving professional success.

FZ-5 has been operating for more than 20 years. During this period, the provisions of the law regarding labor veterans have changed significantly.

Today's laws:

• dictate specific conditions for the duration of the working period;
• introduce a mandatory requirement for the presence of a higher order;
• limit the list of departmental incentives accepted for consideration;
• transfer powers to determine the list and scope of benefits to the subjects of the Federation.

In addition, regional, regional governments have the right to establish other criteria that do not coincide with the recommendations of the Federal Law for applicants for an honorary title. In view of this possibility (according to paragraph 4 of article 7 of the Federal Law-5), subjects of the Russian Federation appeared on the territory of Russia, which introduced titles of regional significance.

Distinctive features of veteran ranks

There is no legislative concept of a “federal” labor veteran. The definition came into use rather to understand the essence of the action of the title.

The fact is that Article 22 of the 5-FZ, indicating the governments of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation as legislators in terms of veteran preferences, classified honored workers as regional beneficiaries. Article 10 of the law says that preferences for labor veterans-pensioners are financed from the budgets of the regions.

Territorial, republican and regional administrations provide for a variety of privileges for beneficiary citizens. Exemptions that are in force in one city may not work in the settlements of the neighboring region.

How is it different from regional?

First of all, the difference is manifested in the criteria for candidates.

Who is a veteran of federal labor, and who is regional, depends on what conditions the applicant met during the title award procedure.

Article 7 of the Federal Law-5 indicates the requirements for the title of all-Russian significance. A specific numerical expression is indicated - a woman needs to work for 20 years, for men the bar is higher - 25 years (as an option - length of service). At the same time, a prerequisite is that the applicant has the appropriate awards. Without claims to awards, only children of war are evaluated, but the duration of the required length of service increases - 35-40 years.

If old man meets these requirements, he is awarded the all-Russian veteran status.

Other requirements are often put forward for candidates for regional-level regalia:

1. Work experience is 35-45 years, and a certain part of the time the applicant must work in the territory of the region or territory, the administration of which will carry out the award procedure.
2. may not be required at all or may take into account municipal, regional diplomas, letters.

Some subjects of Russia do not provide for discrepancies in the requirements for applicants. Their own legislative acts approve norms identical to FZ-5 (for example, Moscow).

An interesting question is the validity of a veteran's certificate issued to a citizen. A document received in accordance with the terms of the legislation of the Russian Federation has an all-Russian status. When moving, the beneficiary does not need to go through the title registration procedure again. The document is unlimited, valid throughout Russia. A citizen will only need to contact the department of social protection at a new place of residence, so that the beneficiary is entered in the register and the preferences are re-registered.

A certificate with the name of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation (for example, “Veteran of Labor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory”) confirms the preferential rights of a worker exclusively in the region. If a person moves to another area, the document will not have any power.

As for privileges, most regions equalize federal and regional veterans of labor, the only difference is noticed in monthly payments- Title bonuses.

EDV can:

• to be absent altogether;
• depend on the income of the recipient;
• vary due to the meaning of the title.

Sometimes another gradation option is offered. For example, in Ulyanovsk region labor veterans of federal and regional significance have a difference in the number and type of benefits provided. Compensation of 50% of the cost of housing and communal services is provided for both categories of veteran workers. And take advantage free travel on city routes and dental prosthetics with a 100% discount, only beneficiary veterans, whose status is recognized as all-Russian (subject to the refusal of the EDV), will be able to.

Tax breaks by status value are not differentiated. If the taxpayer has a veteran certificate, he has the right to claim concessions when paying contributions for real estate, a car, a land plot.

To use the proposed concessions, payments to veteran workers begin after they reach the generally established retirement age.
