Instruction manual
1
Privileges for payment of housing and communal services can be issued only for those categories of citizens that are specified in the law of the Russian Federation. At present, the list of beneficiaries includes heroes of socialist labor, participants in the Great Patriotic War, home front workers, honorary donors of Russia and the USSR, as well as people with disabilities, large families and people exposed to radiation. Depending on the region, this list may be expanded, but not reduced at all.
2
Visit the housing and communal organization and write a statement that should contain a request for the provision of benefits for you to pay for housing and communal services with an indication of the reason.
3
Take an extract from the house book, which should indicate how much space your housing occupies and how many people are registered with you in the apartment. Also, you should have with you a document defining the form of ownership of the premises. It is assumed that it does not matter if your apartment is privatized or not.
4
Prepare an identity document. You will also need confirmation that you belong to the category of citizens who are entitled to benefits.
5
Provide a certificate of family composition. According to the amendment of the law "On Veterans", the right to benefit, starting in 2011, applies to all members of the beneficiary's family living with him in the same apartment.
6
Collect payment receipts that confirm that you paid for utility bills over the past six months.
7
Submit all these documents to the housing and communal organization or to the social welfare department. Please note that benefits can be combined. After the adoption of the law "On the monetization of benefits", they are not deducted from the bill for services, but transferred to the beneficiary in a bank account, through post offices or on a social card.
note
Do not confuse privileges with subsidies, which are also a measure of social support, but are provided to low-income families regardless of their belonging to the above categories of citizens.
