Social card of a Muscovite. How to get a social card for a Muscovite? The validity period of the social card of a Muscovite

Social card Muscovite was invented to facilitate life and improve its quality among residents of the capital, which relies on a variety of benefits. It looks like an ordinary bank plastic card and, in principle, performs the same functions. The main difference is that it is nominal and is intended for those who have the right to social benefits. In addition, SCM is a personal electronic key, which provides information on the benefits granted to the cardholder.

Initially, SCM was tested in three districts of the capital. Appropriate standards have been developed, the concept has been agreed upon. The experiment was considered successful, and from the very end of 2001 began to be introduced throughout the city. I must say that the ultimate goal of introducing a social card of a Muscovite in the first approximation is to create a very accurate list of all persons who are entitled to benefits within Moscow. And if you look further into the future and believe in the success of the experience started in 2001, it is planned to expand this list to the whole of Russia.

Types of SCMs

The social card of the Muscovite according to the main difference in benefits is divided into two types. One gives the right to use public transport free of charge, which includes a tram, metro, trolleybus and bus. Marshrutki and, of course, a taxi to a free category does not apply. The second type of SCM is free of charge for free transportation in public transport.

Free pass

Who put the social card of the first type of Muscovite? It can be received by the residents of the capital, who previously had such a privilege, that is, people with disabilities (including minor disabled children); Children of families, where there are more than three (that is, the offspring of large families), as well as one of their parents; And mother and father of a disabled child (until he was 18); Orphans, again to 18, and children without parental care until the same age.

SCM of the second type

Social card of the Muscovite, which does not provide for free travel, is issued to those who are entitled to one-time payments for the birth of children from the city budget, including, if the triplets were born. The same card will be given if the young family is assigned an additional allowance. The social card of a Muscovite for pregnant women also applies to the second type of SCM. To receive it, the future mother must be registered in any Moscow clinic before the five-month period of her pregnancy.

Provided benefits

First of all, having SCM, you can get a discount in the stores that are involved in this program. Only the card must be presented before paying. Lists of such organizations can be taken upon receipt of the SCM.

If you write a statement in the RUEZN, the stipulated subsidies and payments will be transferred to your Muscovite card - for many it is very convenient. It is possible and easy to put cash on SCM - the nearest branch of the Bank of Moscow with a passport and a card will perform this operation. And if you did this before five in the evening, then you can use money right now. If later - have to wait for the next day.

If you sometimes use street phone booths, and your SCM has funds, you can use the card instead of money. Just note whether there is a sign on the selected booth that the payphone serves credit cards.

Full-time owners of a Muscovite card can receive a short-term loan. The upper age limit is 70 years. It is worth noting that the "upper" age for lending in many banks is lower - 65, or even 60.

By the way, the social card of a Muscovite for a pensioner can be useful also by transferring the received pension to it. To use this service, you will need an application for transferring this money to SCM. It should be written to the Pension Fund of your district.

The most used function of Muscovites is to pay "communal". The order for automatic transfer of money eliminates monthly visits to the bank, standing in lines and filling in receipts. In this case, the bank automatically recalculates the amount of payment if tariffs change.

In the near future, when in all clinics there will be installed installations for reading plastic cards, the social card of the Muscovite will become an alternative to compulsory and now medical insurance.

Design areas of SCM

Where to get a social card of a Muscovite, depends on the reason why she relies on you. So, pregnant women and those who are lump-sum payments in connection with the birth of children, turn to the department of social protection of the population at their place of residence (in other words, at the place of residence, or, as it is called now, registration). People with disabilities, parents of children with disabilities, orphans, large families , etc. should also go there.

Students have the right to SCM only if there is a permanent registration in Moscow, if they study at the daytime department of any university in the capital (so long as it is accredited by the state). To get a card they need to go to any point of their clearance and issue. Such points are located in the special ticket offices of the Moscow metro. There, the student will be told how to get a social card of the Muscovite, how much to wait, where to go for it and what documents to file. Alternatively, if the university or institution concerned with the collection of questionnaires and the subsequent issuance of cards, all this can be done directly at the university.

Registration of the social card of a Muscovite for subsidies for a communal is made in the City Center for Housing Subsidies. This is not done every day, so it's better to find out beforehand so as not to waste time in vain.

Remains the social map of the Muscovite for the schoolboy. In many educational institutions, it is designed directly at the school. If this is not possible, then the child (and rather, his parents) will again have to apply to the specialized subway ticket offices.

Package of required documents

Depending on who exactly SCM is intended for, the list of required securities is somewhat different. In any case, you will need a request form. And to fill it, you will need a passport (for an adult) or a birth certificate (if the child is less than 14). Further, the documents for the social card of the Muscovite include medical and pension insurance and a standard-size photo (3 by 4).

Then there are the differences. The student will have to show the full-time student's study room. For the underage school children, the questionnaire is certified by the parents (or guardians, or trustees). It will also require a seal of the school, gymnasium, lyceum, secondary specialized educational institution where the child is studying.

A woman on demolitions, which is put social card Muscovite for pregnant women, should add a certificate from the clinic (women's consultation) that she was registered, and earlier than the pregnancy was 20 weeks old.

For compensations and additional benefits

If the social card of the Muscovite is taken for compensation and benefits from the city budget, you will need a birth certificate for your daughter's daughter, a certificate from the registry office and the direction from there (given when registering the child, taking into account the parents' documents provided - their place of residence and age). If the father or mother does not have a Moscow registration, a certificate of the place of residence of the child is brought. And, finally, another reference - from the district SSZN - that the second parent did not file such an application and does not receive any child compensation. The last two documents are issued by the relevant authorities only with the consent of the parents, so expect that the receipt will be delayed for several more days to send a request and expect a response to it. If compensation is appointed by birth no longer the first child, documents will also be required for previous children. Moreover, in addition to the birth certificate, you will also need a certificate stating that the child (or children) is registered in Moscow and lives with his parents.

How to get a social card for a Muscovite?

After completing the application form, the future cardholder receives a special voucher. It must be stored until the card is received, otherwise it will have to start anew. If the SCM package includes transportation in the transport without payment, a temporary travel card is issued simultaneously with the coupon, which will replace the card until it is received.

For the card itself, you must go where you submitted the application. With you, you should bring a passport (for minors - a birth certificate) and the coupon that was previously issued.

Since you need time to make any plastic card, SCM will be appointed to you within two weeks. If inaccuracies and mistakes are made during filling, the questionnaire will have to be refilled, so it's best to check everything for the first time, and if you applied at the Metro ticket office, ask the employee to check whether you did everything right.

In addition to the card itself, the Muscovite also receives instructions on how to use it, a list of shops and businesses where a card can buy or receive discount services, and a sealed envelope in which, like a credit card, there is a PIN-code to the card.

Rules and opportunities for using SCM

To the bank account, which opens after the acceptance of the application form, registration and issue of the card, you can receive those compensations, surcharges, pensions and lump sum payments, which you are charged by the state. To save time, not to go personally to receive money, you should write statements to the necessary organizations, according to which the funds will be transferred to your card. For example, if a student wants to receive a scholarship, he must report this to his university. Pensioner about his pension will go to the "native" branch of the Pension Fund. Subsidies for utility bills will need to visit the center of housing subsidies. But all these trips will need to be done only once.

To save time it is possible and single orders on distribution of the money arriving on a card. As already mentioned, the most popular is the payment for servicing the apartment - the bank will itself monitor changes in tariffs and timeliness of payment. But you can also pay monthly, for example, for training - if the child is studying at the paid department of the institute or attends additional classes, circles and sections. You can pay in due time insurance or the necessary treatment - for this, however, you will have to visit not only the bank, but also an insurance company or a medical institution to determine whether they accept such payments.

There are opportunities and cashing out money through an ATM. However, only three banks participate in the program: TransCreditBank, VTB24 and the Bank of Moscow. When using their ATMs, the commission is not taken. The remaining banks will take their interest, and although it is small (0.5), but at each withdrawal of money in "unfriendly" ATMs you will lose from 50 to 100 rubles. So small amounts are generally unreasonable to shoot - at least they will take in any case.

In order not to get lost and not get confused in expenses and receipts, it is convenient to use SMS-banking. All changes to your account (both withdrawals and receipts) will be sent to the specified mobile phone number. The first couple of months this service is even free, and then costs only 50 rubles a month.

How long does SCM operate?

The validity period of the social card of a Muscovite, unlike bank cards (1 year), is calculated for 5 years. To find out, to what date it operates, on the QMS to the left of the "Visa" logo is the last month, during which it works. Until 2013, after the end of the QMS, it was necessary to change it. You could do this either where you received it (for example, in a conversation), or all in the same specialized ticket offices in the subway. And the new SCM was made one and a half months before the end of the old one. Some Muscovites using mobile banking said that they even received a message with a warning about the soonest possible replacement of the card. Others complained that they can not find information about where they should be replaced by an SCM with expired validity.

Now the authorities decided that the replacement of cards is inconvenient and unprofitable. Instead of changing the card, it is now extended. It is promised that the renewal will be automatic, that is, when carrying out the next trip on the map.

However, those who receive monetary social assistance, especially under changed circumstances (change of registration, the birth of another child, or the establishment of a disability), should consider in advance how to extend the social card of a Muscovite. For the answer it is necessary to go either to the office or to the same subway ticket offices. Specific recommendations, perhaps, do not give: in different parts of the city there are some procedural subtleties. The common thing is that to get a new card you will need a passport and an old one.

Loss or damage to SCM

If you accidentally messed up the card, for example, they carried it next to the mobile phone and keys (and it is, by the way, magnetic) or the little child was fooling around, the only way out is to replace it. But at least you do not need to sound an alarm, because nobody can use it already, and when you restore you have something to show, albeit in a spoiled form.

But if SCM is lost, it's different. As in the case of a credit card, the loss of the card must be reported to the Bank of Moscow first of all, especially if there were money left on the card. The bank will block your QMS, even if it does not have to grieve about the money spent by someone else. The second step is to notify RUSZN. Without fixing the fact of loss, it will be difficult for you to receive a new one. By the way, if there is a card, it must be told again to both organizations.

The following actions are the same as for damage to the card. Application form, package of documents plus your application in the RUEZN. Keep in mind: if the card is spoiled by you, you may have to pay for making a new one.

Summarizing the above, we can conclude: the social card of a Muscovite is a very convenient thing. And let the residents of the capital complain about some difficulties with the exchange and extension, the benefits it has much more.
