The victory in the Great Patriotic War was created not only by those who fought on the front line, but also by those who worked in the rear in difficult conditions. Therefore, back in Soviet times, the special status of "Front Worker" was determined, giving recognition of merit in winning a victory and a number of special benefits. Nevertheless, registration of this status may cause certain difficulties. How to register this status, if it has not been done before?
You will need
- - passport;
- - labor book of the war period;
- - orders and medals for labor in the rear.
Instruction manual
1
Decide if you are eligible for the title “Front Worker”. According to the federal law "On Veterans", a person who has worked for six or more months in the territory of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War (from June 22, 1941 to May 9, 1945) is recognized as such (except for territories occupied by foreign troops). It does not matter if the person was an adult. If you fit into this category, you can get this status.
2
Prepare documents confirming your status. This can be a work book with notes about work during the war or rewards for work during this period. Make copies of all documents in order to keep the originals at home.
3
If you do not have the above documents, contact your city or regional archive for extracts on work experience. Come to the archive in person with your passport during office hours and request a certificate that you worked during the war. To do this, indicate in the application in which organization and at what time you performed your labor activity. If you now live in the wrong city where you worked during the war, consult the archive on how to make a request to another city.
4
With all the documents and passport collected, come to the pension fund at the place of residence and apply for registration of the status of a home front worker. It will take some time, which depends on each individual case. After receiving the status, you will receive a certificate of a home front worker and you will be able to use all the benefits that are set for you.
Useful advice
If neither supporting documents have been preserved either in your archive or in the archive, you can go to court and try to confirm the status of a home front worker by attracting other evidence, for example, witness statements. For the correct execution of the statement of claim, contact a lawyer. If the court approves your application, you will be assigned the desired status.
