Not everyone knows about what benefits labor veterans have

Is it easy to live in our country to retire? The question is rhetorical, unless, of course, we speak of privileged retirees who previously held high government posts. Therefore, any, even insignificant, allowance or exemption is of importance to the person who has devoted his life to work, and in the declining years of having found himself in an uneasy life situation. The article will deal with the benefits that veterans have in Russia. Who can get the rank?

The title "Veteran of Labor" (based on the Federal Law "On Veterans" of 1994) can be awarded to two categories of citizens:

1. Those whose work began at a minor age in the war years (1941-1945). At the same time, the work experience must be at least forty years (men) and thirty-five (women).
2. They have orders, medals, honorary titles of federal and regional significance, marks of labor difference from departments.

The given rank is appropriated and appropriate benefits are given to the labor veterans of Russia, provided that there is a general work experience stipulated by the Russian legislation on pensions, and the retirement age is reached.

After the introduction of the so-called monetization of benefits, many labor veterans receive their benefits in the form of monthly payments, the amount of which varies depending on the tariffs for housing and communal services and transport in each region. It is worth Separately consider the issue of what benefits veterans of labor continue to work.
