Poor citizens are ... Social assistance to low-income citizens

Small salaries and rising unemployment lead to the fact that citizens are forced to apply to social protection agencies for processing benefits, allowances, subsidies in order to somehow feed themselves and their families. In order for a person to be recognized as needy, he must provide a certificate of very low income. After assigning a citizen this status, he will be able to receive various benefits and benefits. If the poor are recognized as a family, the children living in it will receive free food stamps at the school.

Definition

Who are such poor citizens? How to get this status if you do not have enough money even for food and clothes? Such questions are asked by many people whose average income does not reach the subsistence minimum. But this is the minimum amount of money that is needed to purchase food, clothing and payment for utilities.

Poor citizens are people who have income below the subsistence minimum established by the subject and who need material support from the state. In order to obtain the status of a little-baked person, you need to come to the social protection agencies of your settlement and provide references, documents confirming a small income.

What you need to do right at the beginning

It is necessary to count all incomes in the family. These include:

• pension;
• scholarship;
• alimony;
• salary;
• Other funds received from commercial activities.

If the total calculation proves that the subsistence level of the whole family does not reach the required limit, you can safely apply for state support. It is also necessary to remember here that if a person lives alone, only his income will be considered. And if he has a family, then all cash receipts.

Poor citizens are only those people who do not have an income equal to the subsistence level for the whole family. That's what it will be required to prove in the bodies of social protection.

Getting Status

So, poor citizens are those whose incomes do not reach even the established minimum necessary for normal, human life. If the family wants to acquire such a status, it will be necessary to collect information on the incomes of all its members. In the case when a person is lonely, he only needs a document confirming his small earnings. Here we should not forget that a poor citizen is a person whose income does not reach the subsistence minimum. But this fact must be documented.

It should also be remembered that only those citizens who have fallen into a difficult life situation, and not just persons who do not work for certain reasons, can apply for state support. To women on maternity leave, this does not apply.

So, if a person decided to acquire the status of a poor, the first thing he needs to do is to come to the social protection authorities for help. After consulting with a specialist, they are given a list of the housing items to be provided.

List

In order for citizens to be recognized as needy, they need to personally come to the reception to the social protection authority of their settlement. There you need to provide a specific list of documents:

• A certificate of all residents;
• Identity documents of adults and children, their copies;
• Unemployed citizens provide a certificate from the employment center and from the pension fund that they are not engaged in commercial activities;
• Documents on marriage, as well as on its dissolution, death of a husband or wife;
• Application (to be filled out directly on the spot).

The procedure for recognizing citizens as low-income is simple enough, you just need to collect the necessary papers and transfer it to a specialist working in the social protection body. Then wait 10 days. During this time, specialists calculate income according to the submitted documents. If necessary, they make special requests. If it turns out that the income of citizens does not reach the subsistence minimum, they are recognized as needy. Then appoint benefits and benefits.

Poor citizens are those people who have very low incomes that do not reach even the minimum established in the region. It is for this reason that the state supports such citizens and provides them with material assistance.

Differences

On what privileges can a low-income, single citizen claim? How do they differ from those that are provided to poor families? These issues are often of interest to people who apply for material support to social protection agencies, but are lonely.

First of all, it should be noted that a poor citizen is one whose income does not reach the minimum established at his place of residence. A single person with low earnings, who does not have a family and children, can not claim the benefits provided by the state to support low-income families (vouchers to health camps, free meals at school). Nevertheless, he has the right to demand a subsidy to reduce payment for utility services, and also has the right to help in purchasing medicines and food.

And a low-income family can claim material support from the state for collecting children for school, providing subsidies for meals in general education institutions, obtaining permits for health camps. In addition, if the conditions for living a family are not good enough, then people have the right to qualify for another home. Also, do not forget about the subsidies provided to low-income citizens.

Legal regulation

In Russia, the number of low-income people exceeds several million people. In order to somehow help this category of people, the state has laws that provide for the provision of material support for these people. These include:

• FZ "On the subsistence minimum in the Russian Federation";
• FZ "On Social Assistance";
• Other legal acts adopted at the local and regional levels.

People who are in a difficult financial situation and have incomes below the established minimum are low-income citizens. The laws that are in force in Russia have been adopted to help overcome the financial difficulties of this category of persons. After all, people who find themselves in a difficult financial situation can not afford to pay for utilities, buy clothes and good, healthy food. Therefore, the state in this case provides them with little support.

Social assistance to poor citizens

After citizens receive this status, they have the right to:

• Enrollment of children in kindergartens (in the first place);
• Subsidies in school;
• Free legal aid;
• Tax privileges;
• Getting a ticket to health camps and sanatoria;
• For free receipt of medicines for needy family members.

Benefits

State aid to low-income citizens is that one of the parents who is unemployed and does not belong to the labor exchange has the right to receive a lump sum payment on the occasion of the birth of the child. In addition, the mother or father of the baby can be assigned a benefit until the last one and a half years. But if the parent goes to work or gets a different source of income, he is obliged to report this to the social protection for the termination of payments.

Here it should be noted that only the father or mother of the child who is considered to be officially unemployed and who does not have any other income can receive such benefits. In addition, you need to provide a social security certificate that the second parent does not receive funds for the child in the workplace.

This year the state plans to revise some of the benefits for people whose income does not reach the required minimum. The category of poor citizens in this case will not lose anything, they will also receive free medicines for sick members of their families, pay half of the public utilities and have discounts for a trip in public transport. Also, the state plans to release these individuals from paying some taxes.
