Alteration in Disbursement Method of Social Grants for Pension Recipients in Khabarovsk Region
Streamlining Social Assistance: A Simplified Future for Pensioners
Get ready, folks! Starting next year, the Social Fund of Russia in the Khabarovsk Krai and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast will handle the distribution of regional social supplements to pensions. This change, part of updates to the law on state social assistance, is making waves, as reported by Khabarovsk Krai Today news agency.
Inconvenience was a common complaint about the previous system, where regional supplements were often paid separately from the main pension. But fret not, because this new change means that pensioners will receive regional social supplements automatically and be paid together with their pension! No more visiting client service offices or supplying documents—it's all streamlined for your convenience!
Alyona Nikulina, a keen observer, anticipates that this shift will simplify the system and reduce the workload on social protection services. The transition of powers from social protection agencies to the Social Fund of Russia in the Khabarovsk Krai and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast will take place through agreements with the governments of the two regions.
Regional social supplements are granted to non-working citizens to ensure their living standards meet the regional minimum pensioner's wage. Currently, approximately 53,000 pensioners in these regions receive these supplements, averaging about 5,400 rubles per person.
The Social Fund of Russia and the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation are working on a unified digital platform that consolidates data on all social support recipients nationwide. This platform, once implemented, will allow residents of the Khabarovsk Krai and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast to receive most payments automatically without the need for applications. Moreover, it will aid the Social Fund in assuming the powers for granting and distributing regional support measures.
Need a hand navigating the Social Fund services? You can reach out to their single contact center at 8 800 100 00 01 (free of charge, regional line operates Mon.-Thu. from 8:45 to 18:00, Fri. from 9:00 to 17:00), or through social media: VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Telegram.
Behind the scenes, this transfer of authority in the distribution of regional social supplements centralizes and streamlines the administration of these payments. By consolidating administrative control under the Social Fund branches, we can expect a more coordinated, efficient, and possibly more transparent delivery of social payments to pensioners in Khabarovsk Krai and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. The shift may also allow better alignment with federal guidelines, potentially reducing overlaps or discrepancies.
So buckle up, pensioners! It's gonna be a smoother ride next year!
This new streamlined system will see regional social supplements being automatically added to pensioners' payments, eliminating the need for separate visits to client service offices or supplying documents. Moreover, the transition of powers to the Social Fund of Russia in the Khabarovsk Krai and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast indicates a potential restructuring of business and finance operations, aiming at streamlining the delivery of social payments.
