- the presence of awards (state or departmental). In previous publications, we have already talked about who can become a labor veteran and how to get this title. Now let's take a closer look at what relates to the departmental awards of Russia, how to get them, and which of them give the right to honorary veteran status.

Who establishes departmental awards of the Russian Federation

The requirement for awards for conferring the title of "Veteran of Labor" does not apply only to those citizens who, during the years of the Second World War, began to work as a minor, and at the same time have the necessary seniority. For all others, the presence of state awards (Soviet and Russian orders, medals, honorary titles, as well as diplomas, thanks from the Russian President) or departmental insignia for labor merits is mandatory.

Not every departmental award gives the right to become a veteran. A specific list of departmental awards for a labor veteran is not provided in the Veterans Act, therefore, in order to understand whether an award entitles you to veteran status, you need to refer to the relevant departmental regulations. According to the Government Decree No. 578 dated June 25, 2016, federal structures (ministries, departments, state corporations) develop their own regulations on awards that allow one to receive the title of “Veteran of Labour”. Each department establishes its own insignia.

The new norms on departmental awards have been in force since July 2016, i.е. from this date, when assigning veteran ranks, the regions should take into account the new insignia. If a worker received an award from the department that gives the right to the “Veteran of Labor” earlier (until 07/01/2016), then this right is reserved for him if he has the necessary length of service (20 years for a woman, 25 for a man), or the length of service necessary for a pension (Clause 3, Article 8 of the Law of December 29, 2015 No. 388-FZ).

Departmental awards for obtaining the title of "veteran of labor"

So, departmental awards are understood as insignia, honorary titles, approved by ministries and departments to encourage conscientious and distinguished workers in any industry.

The list of departmental awards for a labor veteran includes their various types. Departmental awards include honorary titles (for example, "Honorary Worker of Transport of Russia", "Honorary Worker of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation") and insignia (badge "For Merit in Labor" of the Ministry for the Development of the Far East, "Veteran of Nuclear Energy and Industry" of the state corporation Rosatom and etc.). It can also be medals, badges of honor and badges, certificates of honor, etc.

Some departments have established only a single award that makes it possible to obtain veteran status, while somewhere a number of such awards have been approved. For example, the departmental award of the Ministry of Education for obtaining the title of "Veteran of Labor" is only the "Insignia of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation" (order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation of September 29, 2016 No. 1223). The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation also established one award for obtaining veteran status - the medal "Labor Valor" (Order of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation of October 28, 2016 No. 3838). At the same time, departmental awards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, contributing to the receipt of the “Veteran of Labor”, include three medals at once (“For Labor Valor”, “For Irreproachable Service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs”, “For Distinction in Service”, I, II degrees) and a badge “ Honorary Officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs "(Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated April 20, 2017 No. 220). And the FSO awards include three types of badges and two medals (order on departmental awards of the Federal Security Service of Russia dated September 27, 2016 No. 471).

Organizations, institutions and other structures other than ministries and departments that are not endowed with authority may also approve insignia for their employees. But these signs do not give grounds for obtaining the title of "Veteran of Labor". However, this does not mean at all that employees of commercial organizations and non-governmental institutions cannot obtain a veteran's certificate. If an organization works, say, in the field of construction, energy, or agriculture, then departmental awards also apply to its employees. Of course, if the management of the organization takes care of receiving such awards for its employees.

Departmental awards for the title of "veteran of labor": how to get

Regulations on how to receive a departmental award for the "Veteran of Labor" are approved by the relevant department. The document defines a list of persons who can be awarded such a badge of distinction, the procedure and conditions for their award, requirements for work experience, etc.

As a rule, in order to award an employee a departmental award giving the right to the title of “Veteran of Labour”, a petition is sent to the head of the relevant ministry (department). document in free form is compiled at the place of work of the citizen presented for the award. An award presentation in the approved form must be attached, in which the applicant’s personal data is indicated, his labor merits, work experience (in the industry and in this organization) are listed, all periods are indicated labor activity, a description of the employee is given.

Documents are coordinated with the regional head of the relevant industry, the head (highest official) of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, and sent to the relevant ministry (department) of the Russian Federation. After checking the submitted information, if a positive decision is made, the ministry issues an order for the award, and later, in a solemn atmosphere, the corresponding distinction (medal, certificate of honor, etc.) is presented. An entry about a departmental award can be made in the work book.

How is the confirmation of the departmental award for the "Veteran of Labor"? Personal awards fully confirm the right to receive the title. If the insignia is not nominal, then an appropriate certificate of receipt by the citizen of this insignia must be attached to it.

Persons who have worked for the benefit of their state for several decades have earned certain privileges from it. The most frequently granted privileges are various benefits and cash payments. What is needed in order to obtain the status of a labor veteran, and what obstacles can a citizen who wants to obtain this status expect?

Federal Law No. 5-FZ of January 12, 1995 regulates the procedure for granting the status of a labor veteran to persons entitled to it. The normative act specifies the conditions for conferring this title.

Important! The procedure for obtaining the official status of a labor veteran may differ in different regions of the country. However, regional regulations should not conflict with federal law.

For example, for residents of Moscow, the Decree of the Government of Moscow No. 443P dated 06/27/2006 applies. To find out the procedure for carrying out the procedure in your region, go to the website of the local administration. There should be such information. In addition, detailed information will be provided to you by the authorities social protection your city.

What gives the title of "veteran of labor"?

According to Art. 22 of Law No. 5-FZ, the composition of benefits and privileges for labor veterans is determined by regional regulations. Nevertheless, in most subjects of the Russian Federation for this category of citizens there are uniform measures social support, including:

• Monthly cash compensation
• Benefits for utility bills
• Free pass
• Free medicines (according to the regional list)
• Telephony reimbursement
• Free dental prosthetics
• Preferential sanatorium-resort rest

When moving from one subject to another, the composition of benefits may change, in particular, the amount of monetary compensation changes. But the need for re-registration does not arise, since it is enough to get the title once. When changing the address of registration, it is only necessary to check in on time at the local department of social services. protection so that its employees make a request for your case at the previous place of residence. Moreover, it is necessary to report a change in registration even within the same city.

Who is given the title?

The main question that interests all contenders for the title is how many years do you need to work for this? The answer is given by Art. 7 of Law No. 5F-Z, which defines the criteria for awarding veteran status.

• A citizen must be awarded honorary state titles of the Russian Federation or the USSR or awarded medals, certificates or insignia for labor merits (loyal service)
• To obtain the status, you need an experience of 15 years in one sector of the economy, as well as a general insurance experience (for the military - length of service) of 25 years for the male and 20 years for the female part of the population
• Persons who received state awards for labor merits before June 30, 2016 are subject to requirements only for insurance experience (length of service) without working out a certain number of years in one industry
• Citizens who, being minors, began their career during the Second World War, to obtain the title must have an insurance record of 35 and 40 years for women and men, respectively

At the regional level, additional grounds may be introduced on which the title is awarded with a smaller amount of work experience. This can be large families, work in difficult and unhealthy conditions, employment in priority areas of the economy for the region, etc.

The length of service must be confirmed by the relevant entries in the work book and archival documents. When calculating it, not only years are taken into account professional activity, but also the following periods:

• Service in the army
• Caring for a child up to 1.5 years (no more than 6 years for all children)
• Care for the elderly over 80 years of age
• Care for persons with disabilities (1 group or disabled child)
• Residence of the spouse of a serviceman in the places of his service, in which there is no possibility of employment (no more than 5 years)
• The period of stay in places of deprivation of liberty with the subsequent recognition of the groundlessness of the accusation

Awards received for conscientious work are documented

The awards must also have accompanying papers, which indicate that they were awarded to this particular citizen. Employees of the social protections do not have the right to take into account documented unconfirmed medals and insignia when registering the status of a labor veteran.

Important point! Only Russian citizens can receive the title. Even if a foreigner has worked in Russia for many years and has awards for his labor activity, in the absence of Russian citizenship, he is not entitled to the status of a labor veteran.

Features of obtaining the title of veteran in the USSR

Soviet citizens, in order to receive a certificate and a medal confirming their labor services to their homeland, had to work actively and show good results for many years. 20 years is the fixed term for women and 25 years for men. There were no benefits and cash payments for obtaining the status, but it served as moral satisfaction for many.

The status was assigned by issuing a certificate and a badge. He could have different shape, depending on the organization. There was no single style.

What categories of citizens have social support

Important! The badge usually had the form of a medal, and a corresponding certificate was attached to it. In 1995, the law "On Veterans" was adopted, according to which everyone who had badges and certificates could receive additional benefits.

The provision of the law clearly prescribes to whom and what benefits are provided and from which budget payments are made. The law was in force until January 1, 2005.

Veterans of labor in the Russian Federation since January 1, 2005

This year there was a monetization of benefits. Veterans have a choice. Some decided to receive money instead of the preferences provided, while others retained due benefits which began to be provided also from the regional budget. A heavy financial burden fell on the shoulders of the regions, as a result of which some could not cope with it.

The regions were allowed to independently set the amount of benefits in order to provide them as much as possible. Since the possibilities of the federal budget are much higher, the regions have reduced the provision of beneficiaries, as a result of which many have abandoned their privileges in favor of receiving funds.

Veterans of labor in the Russian Federation since July 1, 2016

Several amendments were introduced to the law “On Veterans”, as a result of which this status could be obtained by:

• Persons who were issued a badge and a certificate at the enterprise in which they worked for many years during the USSR
• Persons who were forced to start working before reaching the age of 18, since the war began. The total length of service for men and women should be 40 and 35 years respectively
• Persons who have been awarded a state award for their contribution to the development of the USSR, the RSFSR and (or) the Russian Federation

Personnel military personnel who have worked for more than 15 years in the Armed Forces of the USSR, the RSFSR or the Russian Federation can also be recognized as labor veterans in certain regions. At the same time, they must work for at least 20 years (women) and 25 years (men) in their lives.

Registration process

To get it, you need to be patient and be present in state structures in person. Not all pensioners can ensure their presence and travel due to their age. Therefore, you can issue a power of attorney and certify it with a notary. Then the legal representative, having collected the necessary package of documents, will be able to issue an honorary title.

According to the current legislation, it is required to contact the department of social support of citizens. It is usually located in the district administration. You will need to provide the following documents:

• Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation
• Two shots. Like a passport
• Certificate of pensioner or SNILS
• Employment record and other information that will confirm the candidate's work experience
• Documents confirming the receipt of an award for conscientious work for a long time

You need to have copies of all documents with you, as they are handed over to the social security department after the specialist checks with the original and certifies the copies.

Important! The medal itself is not required. If there is a medal, but no certificate, then it will not work to get the status of a veteran, since an individual number was not written on such award signs. Thus, there is no way to determine to whom exactly the medal was issued.

When the representative of the candidate applies, he must additionally present his passport and power of attorney. It is worth noting that in some regions they accept a hand-written power of attorney, which is not certified by a notary. Therefore, it is recommended to call the department of social protection in advance to clarify what kind of power of attorney should be issued. There is a good chance that the staff will provide a sample.

Document Requirements

Obtaining a veteran title implies filing with the social authorities. protection of the application and supporting documents.

Each region develops its own application form. As a rule, it reflects the following data:

• Name of the state body the authority receiving the application
• FULL NAME. and year of birth of the applicant
• Registration address
• Passport data
• List of documents serving as the basis for assigning veteran status
• Date and signature

The following documents must be attached to the application:

• Passport
• A document containing information about the place of residence of the applicant (in case of residence not at the registration in the passport)
• Photo 3x4 cm
• Marriage certificate or other document proving the fact of the change of surname (name)
• Certificates of honor and papers confirming other state awards
• Employment book or certificates from the archive

The applicant for the title of labor veteran has the right to apply to the state. authorities through their representative. Then, to the package of documents, you must add the passport of a third party and a power of attorney issued in his name. A simple written receipt will suffice, it is not necessary to contact a notary.

You can speed up the registration procedure by submitting documents through the multifunctional center - this will avoid large queues. But in this case, only a personal visit is necessary, since the rules of the MFC do not imply actions through proxies. In addition, you can apply for a labor veteran certificate without leaving your home, through the State Services portal.

The duration of consideration of the request by the management of social. protection is determined by the regional regulations for the provision of services. In Moscow, for example, a certificate is issued after 10 working days.

What types of awards are needed?

The main part of the controversial issues in obtaining veteran status concerns state awards. The following are the guaranteed grounds for awarding the title.

• Orders of the Russian Federation (“For Merit to the Fatherland”, “For Personal Courage”, St. George, Zhukov, Suvorov, etc.)
• Orders of the USSR (Lenin, Glory, Red Banner, October Revolution, Red Star, etc.)
• Medals and insignia of the Russian Federation ("For Courage", "For Labor in Agriculture", "For Irreproachable Service", etc.)
• Medals of the USSR ("For labor valor", "For distinction in military service", "For labor distinction", etc.)
• Honorary titles of the Russian Federation (People's Artist, People's Teacher, Honored Agronomist, Honored Art Worker, etc.)
• The highest insignia of the USSR (Hero Soviet Union, Pilot-Cosmonaut of the USSR, Hero of Socialist Labor, etc.)
• Departmental honorary titles of the Russian Federation and the USSR (Honorary Miner, Honorary Metallurgist, Honorary Oilman, etc.)
• Other awards (Veteran of the gas industry, Excellent worker of the border troops, Honorary donor of the Russian Federation or the USSR, Drummer of the five-year plan, etc.)

In total, more than 70 orders, 100 medals, over 100 honorary titles and 450 departmental awards serve as grounds for awarding veteran status. Moreover, this list is regularly updated with new types of insignia of state distinctions, which in our time are awarded to honorary workers.

Separately, it is necessary to mention the medal "Veteran of Labor of the USSR". At the time of its presentation, it did not carry any material benefits, but only acted as a symbolic sign of honor and gratitude from the state. But now the medal has become a legal basis for the appointment of monetary compensation and a set of benefits.

Not all state awards make it possible to obtain veteran status. You will not be able to get it if you have:

• Honorary titles, certificates and diplomas from enterprises, military units and public organizations
• Diplomas confirming the qualifications of an employee (including awarding an academic degree)
• Cups and medals for victories in sports competitions

Sometimes there are disputes that can only be resolved with the help of the court. Thus, there are cases when citizens were denied the assignment of veteran status in the presence of the award "Drummer of Communist Labor". But the court considered such a refusal unlawful, as a result of which certificates were still issued to them.

Thus, it is important not only to earn seniority and honorary awards from the state, but also to prove the right to the title of labor veteran. Most often, documents confirming the experience and insignia are sufficient for this. But if you have received a refusal that you consider unreasonable, it makes sense to apply to higher state bodies or courts.

The most significant award for obtaining veteran status is the Labor Veteran medal.

Since 1974 it has been awarded to:

• Collective farm workers
• To the children of war
• Workers for hard work

The Ministry of Labor has issued a letter “On departmental insignia in labor taken into account when conferring the title“ Veteran of Labor ””, which lists all the regalia that are taken into account when deciding on the award of the title.

Ministerial Commendation

The Ministerial Certificate of Honor recognizes the merits of employees of any profession. Each department issues an order that regulates issues:

• Who is eligible and for what?
• How to present for an award
• In what form is the diploma issued?
• When and in what circumstances are they handed

Such acts usually establish a limitation on work experience: from 3 to 10 years.

The presentation of a ministerial diploma is usually accompanied by a cash payment at the place of work. But the main plus - a ministerial letter allows the owner to issue the title of "Veteran of Labor".

• Physicians who have proposed innovative ways to treat severe diseases
• Teachers who have introduced the latest teaching methods. Especially if as a result there was a cultural and intellectual growth in the development of students
• Employees of executive authorities whose work has led to improvement educational process at the local level
• Employees of research institutes, institutes and universities who have worked fruitfully and efficiently for several years
• Employees of the Federal Treasury for a real contribution to the solution of financial and economic problems, the development of technologies for cash services for budget execution and more
• Employees of the bodies of the Ministry of Culture who have contributed to the development and preservation of Russian culture, art, etc.

By itself, a ministerial letter does not provide benefits. To receive full social and material support, you need to apply for the title of "Veteran of Labor".

The applicant's package of documents includes:

• Passport
• Certificate of insurance experience
• certificate of honor
• 1 PC. pictures 3*4cm

But there are a number of preferences for employees with ministerial diplomas:

• Taking leave out of turn
• Attending free training courses
• Salary supplement
• Other established by local acts of the organization or regional legislation

How can a pensioner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs get a title

Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, upon reaching the established length of service or on merit to society, are awarded a commemorative medal "Veteran of the Ministry of Internal Affairs". This badge of honor belongs to the public type of award, because the decision to award is made by public organizations. The solemn presentation of the medal usually takes place in the administrations of municipalities or deputy receptions.

The name of the medal determines the moments of its presentation: on the anniversary days of the divisions, on the dates professional holidays, for the birthdays of anniversaries and before the retirement of employees.

Important! Although the name of the award is "Veteran of the Ministry of Internal Affairs", it does not entitle the owner to receive the title of "Veteran of Labor".

Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation of April 20, 2017 No. 220 "On departmental insignia of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation" approved the procedure for awarding departmental signs differences.

Paragraph 3 of article 1 of the document lists the awards that give the right to the title of "Veteran of Labor":

• The medal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia "For Distinction in Service" of the 1st and 2nd degrees is awarded to employees of such units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where they do not award medals for long service. Those employees who served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the period from 01/01/1996 to 12/31/2002 are also entitled to the medal. The main condition for them is that they were not awarded medals “For Impeccable Service” or “For Distinction in Service” and have the required length of service by years: 20 and 15 years. Awarding a medal - November 10, on the Day of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

As soon as an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs receives at least one of these awards, he can apply to the social security authorities for the title of "Veteran of Labor".

To do this, he submits:

• Passport

• Employment book: original and certified copy
• Award Certificate

After the expiration of the established time for consideration, he receives the title of "Veteran of Labor" and, upon entering a general civil pension, can enjoy benefits.

How to get a title for a teacher

For teachers, only one departmental award opens the way to the title of "Veteran of Labour". According to Article 1.1 of Appendix No. 1 to the Order of the Ministry of Education of Russia dated September 26, 2016 No. 1223, this is the “Golden Badge of Distinction of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation”.

If a teacher received departmental awards before July 1, 2016, they retain his right to the title of veteran. An exception among such awards is the Gratitude of the Ministry of Education. Departmental awards (except for the Golden Badge) received by a teacher after 07/01/2016 do not give the right to the title of veteran.

The Gold Badge is awarded to:

• Teachers of educational organizations;

• The administrative staff of the municipal and regional levels.

A candidate for the Gold Badge must simultaneously meet the following conditions:

A positive decision on the assignment of the Golden Badge is issued by the Order of the Ministry of Education of Russia. The right to present the award no later than 6 months after the issuance of the order.

The teacher who received the Golden Badge submits documents to the social security authorities for the title of "Veteran of Labor":

How to get a title in Moscow

We have already said that the procedure for awarding the title of veteran is specified by regional laws. For the capital, the Decree of the Government of Moscow dated 06/27/2006 No. 443-PP “On the procedure for conferring the title“ Labor Veteran ”works (as amended on 04/05/2016).

Let's try to highlight what are the differences.

• The categories of applicants have been expanded in comparison with Law No. 5-FZ at the expense of persons who, before July 1, 2016, were awarded departmental insignia. And at the time of applying they have a work experience of 20 years (women) or 25 years (men)
• The applicant's place of residence is Moscow
• The application form is approved by the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of Moscow
• The term for consideration of the application is 30 days, plus 5 days to notify the applicant of the result. Total - no more than 35 days

The most significant difference is manifested in the list of benefits for labor veterans. According to Article 22 of Law No. 5-FZ, social support for veterans is established by regional legislation.

In almost every subject of Russia there are benefits:

• Free travel by public transport or replacement of benefits with monetary compensation
• Free dental prosthetics
• Discount on utility bills or replacement of benefits with monetary compensation

What is required for labor veterans in Moscow in 2018.

• Articles 6, 10, 11 of the Law of the City of Moscow dated November 3, 2004 No. 70 “On measures of social support for certain categories of residents of the city of Moscow”:

• • Free travel by public and suburban railway transport
  • 50% discount on utility bills
  • 500 rubles to compensate for the payment of a landline phone
  • Free production and repair of dentures, the cost of precious metals and cermets is paid by the veteran
  • For non-working veterans - free vouchers to sanatoriums and reimbursement of expenses for travel by railway transport there and back
  • Monthly payment of 1000 rubles to retired veterans

• Article 1.3 Decree of the Government of Moscow dated November 18, 2014 No. 668-PP "On the issue, issuance and maintenance of social cards in the city of Moscow":

• • Free registration of the "Social card of a Muscovite"

Labor veterans can replace benefits with cash payments. For example, instead of:

• Get 378 rubles for free travel by public transport
• Get 188 rubles for free travel by suburban railway transport
• Get free medicines 1108 rubles

What to do if there are no awards

We will find the answer to this question in Article 7 of Law No. 5-FZ. An applicant without awards can receive the title of "Veteran of Labor" if he began to work minor child during the Great Patriotic War. At the time of applying for the title, his work experience must be more than 35 years (women) or 40 years (men).

Therefore, employees of organizations who have worked, maybe all their lives, in one place or who have a long continuous work experience cannot automatically calculate the name. Their work must be evaluated by a ministry or agency at the federal level.

Work experience for the title

The rules for calculating seniority for a title are similar to calculating insurance seniority. According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 2, 2014 No. 1015 “On approval of the rules for calculating and confirming insurance experience for the establishment of insurance pensions” it includes the periods:

• Works when deductions were made to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation
• Passing military or other equivalent service
• Child care (up to 6 years old)
• Care for the disabled of the 1st group
• Caring for a disabled child
• Caring for a citizen over 80 years of age
• Receiving social benefit on temporary disability
• Living with a spouse in places where there were no places to work (no more than 5 years)
• Receiving unemployment benefits
• Residence abroad of spouses of diplomats (no more than 5 years)

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.

It usually looks like this:

• An employee of the local social protection registers the application of the applicant, forms a case
• These papers are sent to the regional administration. Here they are subjected to an examination for authenticity by the relevant commission. It is created by the decision of the regional administration. One month to check
• If the issue is resolved positively, the papers are sent for approval to the regional administration
• In case of refusal to confer the title, the applicant is informed in writing about this with a breakdown of the reasons for the refusal. This must be done within five days from the date of the decision.
• An extract from the Resolution of the regional administration on granting the status, together with supporting documents, is sent to the place of application
• District social security issues a BT certificate
• This document is registered in a special book and handed over to its owner.
• Copies of papers from the social security file are kept in the veteran's pension file
• His pension book also contains the stamp “Veteran of Labour”, certified by the authority that issued the certificate

In case of unreasonable refusal to assign the status of BT, you must apply to the court.

AT recent times Applications to the social security authorities can be made electronically.

But in view of the fact that consent or refusal is obtained in writing, it is necessary to ultimately provide this statement personally or through a proxy.

It must be verified by the signature of the applicant and the signature of the social security representative.

It is possible to get the status of "Veteran of Labor" without awards in our time. To do this, it is enough to have an appropriate work experience. The entire process takes 35 days.

Regulations on shock workers of communist labor

A few years ago, there was a lot of controversy about the legality of giving veteran labor to those who had the Communist Labor Shock Badge. This is also a badge of distinction, confirming the fact of the work of a citizen and his outstanding merits, which went to the benefit of his country.

The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation resolved all disputes when it issued its decision. He provided a complete list of awards, certificates, certificates and other distinctions that allow you to receive the honorary title of veteran. The list is quite large, but this icon is not included in the list. After that, the disputes were resolved and in all regions where the presentation of awards and certificates is required, they began to refuse to confer the title of shock workers of communist labor.

The basis for the court decision was the fact that the issuance of such badges was carried out as an additional motivation for the quality and conscientious performance of labor duties. At the same time, there was no link to the department or experience of the recipient.

The following awards are also not considered as grounds for granting an application for an honorary title:

• military units
• Public organizations
• Sports communities
• commercial structures
• Structures of federal authorities

What is work experience made up of?

Applicants must have the required work experience. In addition to working at the main place of work, the experience also includes the following:

• Military service, including participation in hostilities
• Maternity leave for 1.5 years after the birth of a child
• Providing care to a child with a disability or a disabled person of group I
• Care for the elderly over 80 years of age
• Employment that complies with the rules of insurance experience

How many years do you need to work to get the title of Veteran of Labor

Important! The total duration of childcare cannot exceed 4.5 years. If a woman was on maternity leave for a total of more than this time, then the experience for the fourth and subsequent children is not counted.

Medal sample 1974

In 1974, a medal was established, which was issued at the highest level as a token of gratitude for selfless work over a long period of time. All persons who were awarded it were entered in a special register. Its presence is an indisputable right to receive benefits. It does not matter whether you have a certificate for this medal or not. On its reverse side there is an individual number, according to which in the state archive you can find information about who exactly received the state award and in what year.

Unfortunately, sometimes the title is denied, despite the presence of a complete package of documents. Then you need to do the following:

• Contact the head of the department of social protection for clarification on the reason for the refusal.
• Contact the Department of Labor to reconsider your issue
• Go to court if the two previous steps did not bring the desired result

Courts often take the side of citizens and oblige employees of state structures to assign the title of labor veteran to the plaintiff. However, one claim is not enough. It is necessary to provide a full package of documents and prepare an evidence base. It is best to hire an experienced lawyer who will represent you in court. He will be able to correctly convey your position, based on existing laws.

What support can citizens expect?

There are two types of benefits for labor veterans, which are provided from the regional and federal budgets. More detailed information presented in the table.

Federal Benefits	Regional benefits
Service on a non-commercial basis in municipal clinics	Special pension supplement (not in all regions)
Free travel or provision compensation for its payment on all municipal transport	The right to receive certain medicines free of charge at municipal pharmacies and clinics
50% subsidy for utility bills payments	subsidized medicines
Eligible for 50% discount when using broadcasting services about some organizations	Special discount for veterans in all stores with a social card
Free treatment and prosthetics Zubov	50% discount on the purchase of train or plane tickets
Taking a vacation when really comfortable for a veteran	Various tax deductions
Various tax deductions and benefits	Other benefits and preferences that are established in a particular region

Recall that a veteran cannot enjoy all the benefits at once. After receiving a certificate confirming the right to these preferences, he must write an application for the choice of those benefits that are relevant for him.

In particular, people who do not use public transport may not choose to be eligible for free travel.

Labor veterans who are retired are exempt from personal income tax and property tax. They can also issue a deduction for treatment, including spa treatment.

It is worth noting that pensioners who have agreed to monetize their benefits are not entitled to receive them again, as they receive additional pension accruals in the form of compensation for the lack of these preferences.

If social security refused to assign status

Having received a package of documents, the social security authorities make a decision. If the applicant is denied, then this is due to the lack of grounds or the provision of awards that do not entitle the benefit under local law.

When the applicant believes that the refusal was wrongful, the procedure for his action is as follows:

• Write a complaint to the head of the Department of Social Protection of the region
• Contact the Ministry of Labor of the region for clarification
• File a lawsuit

For example, the applicant has a badge "For shock work", and in the regional law such an award is not indicated as a basis. The court may decide on the weight of the award, and the applicant will become a labor veteran.

Lost Veteran's Certificate

Losing your Veteran of Labor certificates is not scary. It can easily be restored in the social security authorities. To do this, it is enough to write an application and attach a copy of the passport with a photo of 3 * 4 cm.

A duplicate is prepared within 2 days. There are no penalties for loss or accidental damage to a document.

Basic moments:

• The title of "Veteran of Labor" is given to persons with departmental insignia, awards of the USSR, the RSFSR and Russia. Work experience in the industry from 15 years and total work experience - 20 years (women) or 25 years (men).
• Without awards, the title is given to people who started working during the Second World War.
• A strong argument for obtaining the title of veteran is the applicant's ministerial diploma.
• Each department after July 1, 2016 issued orders that determine which departmental awards give the right to the "Veteran of Labor".
• The procedure and conditions for awarding the title are established by regional laws, they are different in the country. The lists of benefits for labor veterans are also not the same.
• The unlawful refusal of the social security authorities can be challenged in higher organizations or in court.
• If the certificate is lost, a duplicate is issued within 3 days at the social security authorities.
