Instruction manual
1
Contact the city administration (the Department of Social Protection) and find out the size of the subsistence level, which is set this month or quarter. In some regions, you will need information about the average cost of living over the past 24 months.

If you want to apply for social benefits, first find out what is the average per capita income of your family members (including minor children and disabled citizens). If it is below the subsistence level set in your area, then you can start collecting documents to receive social benefits. You will need documents proving the identity of your family members, income certificates, work books, pension certificates, etc. Unemployed citizens will be required to submit a certificate from the employment service. Contact the Department of Social Protection for a certificate of recognition of your family as a poor.

If you need a subsidy for utility bills, you will need to provide all the documents for the apartment, an extract from the house book and a certificate of family composition. It will also require receipts for utility bills for the last month, certificates confirming benefits for housing (if any), income statements and identity documents. Contact the Department of Social Security for a grant.

In order to register in the queue for housing, you should consider not only the average per capita income of the family. Find out how many square meters of living space per person in your area. In addition, you will need to submit to the administration a BTI passport for the existing apartment, all documents confirming ownership of the apartment, house, land and means of transport (if any). The larger the footage of the existing housing and its cost (price of a car, garage, etc.), the lower should be your real per capita income. Otherwise, your family will not be recognized as poor.
