Certificates equivalent to a labor veteran. Awarding the title of labor veteran

The conditions for obtaining the title “Veteran of Labor” and the certificate of a labor veteran in the country and in the city of Moscow, in particular, have undergone significant changes since July 1, 2016.

This is due to the fact that on July 1, 2016, Article 3 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2015 No. 388-FZ came into force, which introduced fundamental changes to the Law of January 12, 1995 No. 5-FZ “On Veterans” in terms of requirements for work experience to obtain the title of labor veteran.

Federal Law of December 29, 2015 No. 388-FZ “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation in terms of accounting for and improving the provision of social support measures based on the obligation to comply with the principle of targeting and the application of need criteria”

All these changes are discussed in more detail in my previous materials:

• Social support measures for Federal and Regional labor veterans from July 1, 2016
• Conditions for conferring the title “Veteran of Labor” and the procedure for its registration under the new legislation from July 1, 2016
• What length of work experience is needed to obtain the title of labor veteran under the new legislation from July 1, 2016?

One of the reasons for these changes (but not the only one, read about other reasons in these materials) was that the concept of length of service as a result of the Pension Reform of 2015 in the pension legislation from January 1, 2015 was replaced by insurance length.

However, in regional laws and acts establishing the procedure for conferring the title of labor veteran in the regions, work experience was still mentioned and is still mentioned in some places.

The Federal Law of December 29, 2015 No. 388-FZ “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation...” was called upon to resolve these contradictions, which introduced corresponding amendments to the Federal Law “On Veterans” No. 5-FZ regarding the procedure and conditions for assignment title of labor veteran.

The changes came into force on July 1, 2016, and it was from that time that subclause 2 clause 1 of the Federal Law “On Veterans” No. 5-FZ on the requirements for the length of work experience to obtain the title of labor veteran has acquired more specific wording.

According to this innovation in the law on veterans, citizens whose work (insurance record) at the time of applying for the title of labor veteran will be no less than:

• 20 years - for women;
• 25 years - for men.

This condition applies to citizens who are recipients of an insurance pension; for recipients of a state pension, the requirement for work experience to obtain the title of veteran of labor is different, namely, the length of service necessary to assign a pension for long service in calendar terms.

• if one of the grounds for conferring the title of labor veteran is a departmental award, the applicant’s work experience in the relevant field or economic sector cannot be less than 15 years old.

And taking into account the considered innovations in the federal law on veterans, in terms of length of service requirements for obtaining the title of labor veteran, regional authorities must adjust their regional legislation.

This has already been done in a number of regions, for example in Moscow. Let's see what comes of it.

A refusal to confer the title “Veteran of Labor” can be appealed to the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the City of Moscow and (or) to court.

In the following material you will get acquainted with the benefits that labor veterans are entitled to in the city of Moscow.

The term “labor veteran” has been known since the mid-seventies of the last century.

This honorary title was awarded to workers whose work experience was above the statistical average.

It was an incentive for stable and long-term work, an example to follow. Veterans of labor were awarded by the government and had significant benefits: high pensions, free travel on all types of transport, and others.

Since then, there have been many changes in all areas, and the law on veterans has been changed at least three times. How to get a veteran of labor without awards in our time? Is it possible? This will be discussed below.

Today, obtaining the status of a labor veteran is regulated in the Law of the Russian Federation “On Veterans” (version 2016), where in Art. 7 states that the basis for conferring this title is the presence of work experience:

• for men it is 40 years and above;
• For women, 35 years of total experience is sufficient.

For those who already have the appropriate awards and medals, their work experience, as in the previous version of the law (from 2005), remains 25 and 20 years, respectively.

Required documents

Since 2005, the awarding of the VT title has been carried out by local social protection authorities. Therefore, the applicant needs to apply there.

The entire registration procedure takes place in accordance with the local law on the procedure and conditions for assigning this title. And he, in turn, relies on the requirements of federal law. With the only caveat that the applicant must live in a given region for a certain number of years. Although such a clause may not exist.

The package of documents provided to the social security authority includes:

• Passport.
• Work book with all inserts and copies of these documents.
• 2 photos 3x4.
• An extract from the regional department of the pension fund about work experience.

If it is not the pensioner himself who applies to social security, but his representative, then in addition you need to have:

• Civil passport of a representative of a pensioner.
• A power of attorney from the applicant for the title regarding the right to act on his behalf, executed in the appropriate manner.

An application is drawn up on the spot addressed to the head of the social security agency with a request to be awarded the title of VT. It is supplied in two copies.

One of them remains with the inspector, and the other with its acceptance mark and filing date is taken by the applicant.

If the work record book or some part of it is lost, then the Pension Fund can restore all the missing data.

Registration procedure

The entire procedure for processing documents related to the assignment of the status of a labor veteran is prescribed in the relevant Resolution of the regional (territorial, republican) administration.

Typically it looks like this:

1. A local social security worker registers the applicant’s application and forms a case.
2. These papers are sent to the regional department. Here they are examined for authenticity by the relevant commission. It is created by the decision of the regional administration. A month is allotted for verification.
3. If the issue is resolved positively, the papers are sent to the regional administration for approval.
4. In case of refusal to assign a rank, the applicant is informed in writing about this with an explanation of the reasons for the refusal. This must be done within five days from the date of the decision.
5. An extract from the Resolution of the regional administration on the assignment of status, together with supporting documents, is sent to the place where the application was submitted.
6. The district social security issues a VT certificate.
7. This document is registered in a special book and given to its owner.
8. Copies of papers from the case opened with social security are kept in the veteran’s pension file.
9. His pension book also contains the stamp “Veteran of Labor”, certified by the body that issued the certificate.

Today it is quite problematic to receive any benefits from the state. This is due to a long list of required papers and the dishonest performance of their duties by social workers. For these reasons, in 2017, the number of lawsuits sent to the court with a demand to resolve a dispute over the status received for special labor achievements increased.

For the first time, citizens of the Russian Federation learned about privileges for conscientious long-term work in the 90s. Until now, the rules and terms for awarding the title “Veteran of Labor” have changed a large number of times. That is why many workers have no idea where to apply for the title “Veteran of Labor” and how to receive certain benefits after retirement. Let’s consider the algorithm of necessary actions.

Who is entitled to the status of “Veteran of Labor”

Many citizens with extensive work experience do not know whether they can be recognized as a labor veteran and where to go with this question. This title is not available to every citizen of our country who has worked for the benefit of the state for many years. A candidate for an honorary title must meet some requirements:

• - until July 2017, he was awarded the “Veteran of Labor” medal, which is confirmed by the relevant document;
• - awarded a certificate of commendation from the head of the Russian Federation, received orders and medals of the union socialist state, as well as departmental recognition of merit in one working field;
• - before retirement, the insurance period for men is 25 years, for women - 20 years;
• - before registration of pension provision, the veteran’s work experience (length of service) is at least 20 years;
• - worked during the Great Patriotic War, without reaching the age of majority, as a result, the total duration of work for a man was at least 40 years, for a woman - 35 years.

It is important to know that not all ways to support workers at the state level through incentives in the form of social guarantees and thanks for long and impeccable work are taken into account in this situation. Credentials are considered significant issued by the following authorities and services:

• - the highest executive body;
• - administration of the head of state;
• - government body of a separate sphere of activity, ministry (on behalf of the chief manager);
• - lower house of parliament;
• - constitutional judicial body, the Prosecutor General's Office (on behalf of the head).

Documents certifying state incentives and issued by the chairmanship of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR have lost their relevance. Awards without the appropriate certificate have no weight in this matter. When applying for the title, the former worker must be retired.

Merits for work are not credited to a person who is a citizen of another country.

Rules for obtaining a labor veteran

To receive a high reward for the path of many years of work, it is important for a citizen of the Russian Federation to follow certain rules. You need to know where to submit papers for a labor veteran, find out the list of necessary documented media, and become familiar with the important nuances of the procedure.

What documents are needed?

The applicant undertakes to submit the following package of papers:

• - written appeal in the established format;
• - original and copy of passport;
• - pensioner's ID;
• - original and copy of the work book;
• - certificates of honor, letters of gratitude, orders, badges, medals, as well as tangible media confirming that the awards belong to a specific candidate;
• - insurance number of an individual personal account (SNILS);
• - 4 photo cards in 3x4 cm format.

The authenticity of all copies is certified by a notary.

Local governments have the right to request additional information about an applicant for honorary status in accordance with established regional requirements.

Where to apply for an honorary labor veteran

Not all workers are correctly aware of where they need to submit the list of papers confirming their merits in their work. The necessary documentation must be submitted by the applicant to the social security department at the place of registration. Each region has an individual sample of written appeal. The application is drawn up addressed to the head of the social protection department, the text must contain a request for assignment of the appropriate status, at the end the applicant indicates the date of application and puts his signature. Service employees must verify the provided copies with the originals.

Deadlines for consideration and response to an application

Social Security opens a personal file in which material media provided by the veteran are filed. Within a month, the commission must hold a meeting, involving employees of the relevant ministry in the process, discuss the veteran’s appeal and make a decision on it. Employees of the state social protection institution draw up a written verdict, which includes information about the final reasoned decision. The act is handed over by hand or by post to the applicant within five calendar days from the date of consideration of the case.

Having refused a citizen, social security officials undertake to indicate the reason for the negative verdict.

If the decision is made in favor of the elderly applicant, the exact date of receipt of the legal order is established, on the basis of which the veteran will be able to apply for the required government benefits.

Main benefits provided to labor veterans

Federal benefits for honorary workers, regulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation, are exactly the same for all holders of this title.

The current privileges are as follows:

1. Use the services of municipal dental clinics for dental treatment and prosthetics out of turn;
2. Receive the opportunity to receive treatment in medical institutions of the country, even if you change your place of residence or registration;
3. Treatment in a sanatorium or receipt of monetary compensation in the amount of the cost of the vacation in case of refusal;

In addition to federal benefits, the Russian Federation has regional programs, which may differ significantly in different regions of the country.

Summary and step-by-step instructions

Citizens who have been awarded certificates of honor, orders, medals, as well as insignia of our state and the former Soviet Union can receive the honorary title “Veteran of Labor” for many years of impeccable work. It is important to note that the insurance period must be complete. In addition, citizens who worked during the armed conflict of the parties participating in the Great Patriotic War, including minors, can obtain the title. The conditionality of this case is that women have 35 years of experience or more, men have at least 40 years of experience.

For registration, you need to prepare a package of documents:

• - appeal in the established format in writing;
• - passport (copy and original);
• - work book (copy and original);

A complete list of documents must be submitted to the social security department at the place of registration. Next you need to do the following steps:

1. The application is drawn up addressed to the head of the department and contains a request for an honorary title.
2. The management commission, together with employees of the relevant ministry, discusses the veteran’s appeal and makes a decision on it.
3. An administrative document is drawn up, which highlights the final reasoned decision of the commission members.

No more than 30 days from the date of submission of documents for consideration are allotted for the issuance of an executive act, on the basis of which an honorary worker can receive the required state benefits.

At the federal and regional levels, the right to receive the title “Veteran of Labor” is regulated by separate regulations. The procedure for obtaining the title and the list of benefits provided to “Veterans of Labor” are also determined by the federal and regional legislation of the Russian Federation.

In this article we will talk about how to obtain the title “Veteran of Labor” in Moscow, including without awards. So, the title “Veteran of Labor” can be acquired by Russians who have worked for a long period of time and whose work has been awarded awards.

The issue of obtaining the title “Veteran of Labor” is especially interesting for citizens who have approached retirement age and who have a long career behind them. Having retired and received the status of a veteran, a citizen receives financial benefits in the form of additional benefits, which, of course, are a good help in the life of an elderly person.

However, this does not mean at all that the status of “Veteran of Labor” is tied to retirement age. The title can be awarded at a younger age. But the benefits, in any case, will begin to apply only after the citizen retires.

Where and how can you obtain the status of “Veteran of Labor” in Moscow

In accordance with Resolution No. 442 of June 27, 2006, the title “Veteran of Labor” in Moscow can be obtained at your place of residence by contacting the territorial department of social protection of the population. The process of obtaining the title of veteran is quick and the territorial body makes a decision on its assignment immediately on the day the citizen submits an application.

After a decision is made, it is approved by the head of the territorial department of social protection for the city of Moscow. After the above steps, the “Veteran of Labor” can receive a certificate confirming his status.

When applying in 2018 to the territorial body of social protection of the population in the city.

Moscow citizens must provide the following documents:

• Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
• Certificate of assignment of TIN.
• Certificates of awards to the applicant.
• Work book (a copy certified by the employer if the applicant is still working or the original with a copy - if the applicant is a non-working citizen).

After the citizen has submitted all the necessary documents, the authorized body checks them and, based on its results, makes a decision to recognize the applicant as a “Veteran of Labor” and assign him such an honorary title.

If the honorary title “Veteran of Labor” is refused, the applicant receives a reasoned notification, which, if warranted and desired, he can appeal either independently or through a labor lawyer to the Moscow District Administration or in court.

How to get the title of Veteran of Labor without awards

To obtain the title of “Veteran of Labor” you must meet certain requirements established by the state. The list of awards giving this right is constantly changing and supplemented annually. In 2018, the list of awards underwent minor changes. You can view the list of awards current in 2018 here.

If you have any awards from the state and want to clarify whether they give you the right to be awarded the title of “Veteran of Labor,” you need to seek appropriate advice from the local department of social protection of the population.

Attention!

It is important to know that if you do not have awards, but your total work experience is long (40 years for men, and 35 years for women), then having such a long work experience allows you to receive the title “Veteran of Labor” and the corresponding benefits without additional awards to him.

In 2018, this procedure has not changed, and you can still receive the title without awards if you have the above-mentioned work experience. In addition, there are preferential categories of citizens who can receive the title “Veteran of Labor” without awards:

• These are children who worked during the Great Patriotic War. However, simply the fact of working during the war as a minor is not enough. It is necessary to have an additional long work experience as indicated above.

• Citizens marked with departmental production insignia, such as: “Best Metallurgist”, Excellent Worker in Production”, “Accident Liquidator of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation” and other similar insignia issued for good service or work. Additionally, the applicant on this basis must have the work experience necessary to calculate an old-age or long-service pension. More specifically, the possibility of assigning the title “Veteran of Labor” in the presence of departmental or production insignia can be clarified with the local social welfare authority.

Who is awarded the title of labor veteran in 2018 - Russian Federation, meaning, in Moscow

Who is awarded the title of labor veteran of the Russian Federation in 2018 is specified in detail in federal and regional legislation.

In particular, you need to know the important nuances available. Over the past few years, obtaining the title “Veteran of Labor” has become increasingly difficult.

This is largely due to many difficulties, in particular the need to collect numerous documentation. Let’s take a closer look at the procedure for obtaining a title in Russia in 2018.

Key Aspects

Before studying the main issue, it is initially recommended to familiarize yourself with the basic theoretical information and the legislative part.

Thanks to this, it is possible to eliminate the possibility of refusal to obtain the status of “Veteran of Labor” in Russia.

Required terms

Back in 2005, the President of Russia signed Federal Law No. 163, on the basis of which amendments were made to Federal Law No. 5 of January 1995.

It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that most regions of the Russian Federation adhere to a single position, having formed legal acts with minor differences.

Benefits for labor veterans are provided for:

• federal;
• regional level.

To be able to obtain the need to re-obtain the title, it is enough only to provide a uniform certificate that can confirm the existing status.

Veteran status is valid for an indefinite period. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the status has legal force throughout the entire territory of Russia, which is why there is no need to re-register after a possible move to another locality.

In the event of a change in the region of residence, citizens who have a status will only receive other benefits, since they may vary.

Legal regulation

The procedure for obtaining the title “Veteran of Labor” in Russia is regulated by such regulations as:

Additionally, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that regional authorities have every right to expand or narrow the list of conditions giving the right to receive the title “Veteran of Labor”.

For example, Decree of the Government of the capital No. 443-PP “On the assignment of the status of Veteran of Labor” dated June 2006 describes in detail who is awarded the title of Labor Veteran in Moscow.

For what merits is the title of labor veteran awarded in Russia?

Initially, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the procedure for obtaining the title in question contains various nuances.

In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to the established requirements for potential recipients. Let's take a closer look at the available features.

In which cases

Every resident of Russia who meets the established requirements specified in the Federal Law “On Veterans” has the right to acquire the honorary title “Veteran of Labor” in 2018.

First of all, they directly relate to the presence of potential recipients:

• departmental signs;
• various state awards and medals.

They should be taught during the times of the USSR or already Russia, and exclusively for success in work.

Such departmental signs may be owned by citizens who have worked or continue to officially work in a particular field.

In particular, these signs may be:

• “Excellent administrative employee”;
• “Excellent builder”;
• others.

In other words, for distinctions during the performance of their direct official duties or for valiant (honest, long-term) work.

At the same time, regional legislation must provide for the possibility of granting status, as well as the independence of making amendments to the rules and conditions of assignment.

Provided benefits

The executive branch of the federal level determines the list of benefits that the regions have the right to use partially or fully.

It is possible to expand them by regional legislation. In general, in most regions, “Labor Veterans” can count on such privileges as:

• free use of any type of public transport;
• utility bills with a 50% discount;
• registration of paid labor leaves in any selected period (benefits are provided for officially employed citizens);
• free services in public medical institutions.

Speaking about regional benefits, the most common of them are considered to be:

Most status holders often declare the importance of the benefits that are valid today:

• in the capital;
• in St. Petersburg;
• other regions of Russia.

In particular, we are talking about the possibility of free production and repair of dentures.

In this situation, the Russian Government fully compensates for the costs of state medical institutions, if the prostheses are not made from metal-ceramics or precious metals.

In order to receive all the benefits required by law, it will be enough to initially obtain a certificate confirming the status, and then contact the address for applying for benefits - in the housing and communal services, to the public transport controller, and so on.

Is it awarded only based on length of service without awards?

In the legislation of the Russian Federation, in particular in the Federal Law “On Veterans”, which provides the opportunity to formalize the status in question, in addition to awards and medals, there is a requirement regarding the presence of the necessary work experience.

In particular:

In 2018, criteria regarding length of service may be adjusted, since many regions grant status based on the presence of the required work experience.

In particular:

The Federal Law “On Veterans”, in particular Art. 6, it is possible to grant status to citizens who carried out official labor activities in the period from 1935 to 1945, while under age, and subsequently worked:

It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that citizens who say they have the necessary work experience during the Second World War must necessarily prove the fact of official employment in the non-temporarily occupied territories of the USSR.

Any other possibilities for obtaining status without having awarded state medals in hand must be sought, referring to the content of regional legislation, which approves the rules and procedure for obtaining the status in question.

So how is the title awarded? Obtaining status and a supporting certificate is provided solely upon a completed application.

You can submit it together with a package of accompanying documentation:

• by personal contact to the territorial representative office of the Department of Social Protection of the Population;
• by contacting the nearest MFC.

According to Russian legislation, in order to obtain the title “Veteran of Labor”, it is necessary to provide the following to the territorial representative office of social protection of the population:

• a statement drawn up according to generally accepted rules;
• applicant's internal passport + copies of all completed pages;
• documentary evidence of the required work experience;
• documentary evidence that the applicant has state awards and medals that provide the legal right to expect to receive the status of “Veteran of Labor”;
• a certificate from the direct employer - a document required for officially employed citizens;
• a certificate from the territorial representative office of the Pension Fund, as well as a notarized copy of the pension certificate.

In the process of drawing up an application, you need to pay attention to the fact that it displays:

Additionally, on the application form, the Head of the territorial department for the provision of state social assistance measures and the Head of the territorial representative office of social protection of the population must put a mark regarding “Assign” or “Refuse to provide”.

: who is awarded the title of labor veteran

In case of refusal, the applicant is given a written opinion indicating the reason for the decision.

In addition to the basic documentation, you must additionally provide 2 photographs:

• one of them is used for the questionnaire;
• the second will be pasted into the certificate after the title is granted.

It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that if, in the opinion of the applicant, an unlawful refusal to confer the title “Veteran of Labor” is received, he has the legal right to file a claim:

• directly to the head of the Department of the territorial department of social protection of the population, which was refused;
• directly to the Ministry of Labor, Social Protection and Regional Demography;
• to various courts.

In most cases, citizens who have awards or other labor distinctions may be refused due to a banal discrepancy between the awards and those specified in the regulatory documents of a particular region.

In such a situation, filing a claim with a judicial authority will make it possible to find out whether departmental insignia really do not belong to the labor category.

Finally, I would like to note that the procedure for obtaining the title “Veteran of Labor” requires a lot of effort and patience from applicants. This involves numerous bureaucratic processes that must be overcome.

If, in the opinion of the applicant, he received an unlawful refusal, it is recommended to immediately file a claim with a judicial authority. In 90% of situations, the court takes the plaintiff’s side and forcibly assigns the title.

The title is awarded indefinitely.

If a representative of a labor veteran applies to receive the title, then in addition to the standard list of documents, he is required to additionally submit to the USZN:

• identification document of the representative;
• a document confirming the authority of the representative (for example, a power of attorney).

The representative has the right, on the basis of a power of attorney or other similar document, to apply for the applicant to the department to obtain a title and receive appropriate benefits and benefits.

Average The document review procedure takes 30 calendar days. At the same time, each region develops its own work regulations, according to which the deadlines are clearly stated.

For example, in Moscow and the region, the procedure for obtaining the title of labor veteran takes exactly 30 calendar days, and in the Penza region - 30 working days. The period for reviewing documents usually includes not only the review period, but also the period of sending a response to the applicant.

Each region independently posts on the official website of the Social Administration the regulations for the provision of the service “Registration of the title of labor veteran,” which anyone can familiarize themselves with. Documents cannot contradict Federal Law No. 5-FZ.

According to Article 7 of the Federal Law of 12.01.

1995 No. 5-FZ, receive the title of labor veteran can only be those, who have badges and awards, and those who began their work during the Great Patriotic War.

That is why only the second category of citizens can obtain preferential status without awards. Those who have accumulated a certain length of service are not necessarily considered labor veterans. Only those who have been awarded certificates, badges or awards can receive preferential status.

If there are no awards that correspond to those specified in Article 7 of Federal Law No. 5, then it is not possible to obtain the title.

Moreover, the Department of Social Protection of the Population has the right to refuse to accept documents, if the applicant does not provide the necessary evidence of receipt of the labor insignia.

In addition to the fact that a citizen must begin working during the Great Patriotic War, to obtain the title of labor veteran, he also needs work experience.

It takes into account not only periods of work, but also the following periods:

• completion of military or other equivalent service;
• child care who is no more than 1.5 years old;
• caring for a disabled person of group 1;
• caring for a disabled child;
• caring for a citizen over 80 years of age;
• other activities that are calculated in accordance with the rules for calculating labor (insurance) length of service.

The period of caring for one child is counted as work experience if it does not exceed 1.5 years. In total, periods of child care should not exceed 4.5 years. That is, if during work a woman or man took leave to care for a child or children, then this period is counted towards the length of service. And, accordingly, it affects the total time of work required to obtain the title of labor veteran. The insurance period, along with periods of work and (or) other activities, includes the period of care of one of the parents for each child until he reaches the age of one and a half years, but not more than four and a half years in total.Download and print for free

What is not taken into account as departmental awards for work

There are a number of awards that are not taken into account as labor awards and, therefore, cannot be the basis for obtaining preferential status.

Such awards include those that were established:

• organizations (the organizational and legal form does not matter);
• military units;
• public organizations;
• sports communities;
• commercial structures;
• structural divisions of federal government bodies.

The presence of badges, certificates, and medals of this kind is not the basis for receiving the title of labor veteran, even if the citizen has all the documents for them. This award was approved in 1974.

She is the one an indisputable basis for assigning the status of a labor veteran.

But only if the citizen has the appropriate documents confirming the assignment.

The following categories of citizens were most often awarded:

• collective farm workers;
• children working during the Great Patriotic War;
• employees retiring who have worked for a certain period of time in one industry or in a certain field;
• workers for hard work.

If the documents were lost, they can be restored by contacting the archival funds at the location of the organizations where the medal was issued.

What to do if the USZN refused to assign status

If the applicant believes that he was rejected unlawfully without being assigned preferential status, then he has the right to file a complaint:

• to the head of the Department of Social Protection of the Population, where the decision was made;
• to the Ministry of Labor, Social Protection and Demography of the region;
• to the judicial authorities.

Often, citizens who have awards or other labor distinctions are refused due to the discrepancy between the awards and those specified in the regulations of the region. In this case, appealing to the judicial authorities makes it possible to establish whether departmental insignia are really not labor insignia.

Often, judicial authorities take the side of citizens who have worked in one place for a long time and have been awarded badges of distinction. For example, citizens who have received the badge “For hard work,” according to the regulations of the region, may not fall under the preferential category.

However, if the court decides that such an insignia is sufficient for conferring the title, it will be awarded, and benefits will be assigned. Citizens who have received the status of a labor veteran can count on several benefits: Each region independently establishes measures of social support and its limits (amounts) .

For a pensioner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

The mechanism for registering a labor veteran who is a pensioner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is no different from the usual procedure. If an employee of the internal affairs bodies has the necessary length of service to assign a labor pension and assign the status of a labor veteran, then he will not be denied this service.

Also, people who have dedicated their lives to serving the Motherland can apply for early retirement.

For a citizen who has a long career in the internal affairs bodies, there are many more social support programs (long-service bonus, tax benefits, free medical care).

There is also a payment of state assistance every month, and there is a program to provide housing for pensioners.

Features of design in Moscow

In the capital of Russia, obtaining honorary status is complicated by fairly stringent requirements for candidates. The conditions for obtaining status in Moscow are somewhat different from those established at the federal level.

Applicants for the honorary title must meet certain criteria:

• availability of awards for meritorious service (insignia and supporting papers);
• the presence of orders and medals for labor activity during the period of the USSR or the Russian Federation;
• presence of honorary titles;
• availability of certificates and thanks from the President of the Russian Federation;
• a period of working experience in the field of economics of at least 15 years, as well as a total work experience of at least 25/20 years;
• length of service;
• presence of work experience during the Second World War (in childhood).

The basic procedure for assigning status and the package of documents do not differ from the generally recognized ones. However, employees have the right to request additional supporting documentation.

The period for making a decision by the social security authorities is no more than one month, with an additional five days provided for notifying the candidate of the decision..

In this case, reviewing the documents and making a decision will not take more than 35 days. In some cases, the title may be denied.

This may occur in the following circumstances:

• in the absence of the right to receive honorary status;
• in the absence of registration in Moscow or the Moscow region;
• when documents lose their legal force;
• if there is inaccurate information in the documentation.

Thus, citizens who devoted their lives to working for the benefit of the country are awarded the honorary title “Veteran of Labor”. The procedure for assigning it is not complicated, but a painstaking procedure that requires collecting the necessary documentation and writing an application.

If you have this status, a pensioner can apply for social benefits, which include preferential medical care, travel on public transport, payment for housing and communal services, etc.
