Mosenergosbyt benefits for disabled people of group 2. How to apply for electricity benefits for needy citizens

Recently there was a rumor about the abolition of electricity benefits for people with disabilities. Experts reassure: such changes are not planned in our state in 2018. But nevertheless, changes have occurred in the area of providing benefits for disabled people. What changes are these? What are they? How does this affect electricity bills for disabled people? Read all the details in this article.

First of all, the changes affected residents of the city of Moscow, namely the category of low-income Russians:

disabled people (persons who are completely or partially deprived of the opportunity to find a job and provide for themselves independently due to illness, injury or injury);
families with disabled children whose age does not exceed 18 years;
persons injured as a result of radiation exposure (both during the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and at the Semipalatinsk test site);
persons equated to them.

It cannot be said that for these low-income Russians, benefits related to payment for the use of housing and communal services, including electricity, have been abolished. A fifty percent discount on payment applies to the following types of utilities:

heating;
water supply;
sewerage;
hot water supply (includes payment for water heating);
electricity;

According to current legislation, the preferential discount for this type of service remains the same - 50%. But the very procedure for calculating benefits has changed, as a result of which the amount of payment for the use of electricity for disabled people has become higher than last year.

In order to get the opportunity for a disabled person to take advantage of preferential discounts on the payment of consumed electricity, it is necessary to contact the territorial body of the USS - the Department of Social Protection. For disabled people, you need to submit a package of documents to this organization:

Passport confirming the identity of a citizen of our state (photocopy).
Certificate of family composition.
A medical certificate confirming the presence of a disability of the corresponding group.
Pension certificate (if any).
Account number.
A statement, written in your own hand, requesting a preferential discount on the payment of electricity or some other utilities.

Benefits will not be provided if there is arrears in payment of housing and communal services.

A preferential discount of fifty percent is calculated based on the volume of a certain utility service used by low-income Russians. The volume of consumption is determined using readings taken from a special data meter. But these readings should not exceed the consumption standards established and approved by Russian legislation.

The law also provides for a situation where such metering devices are not available. In this case everything necessary calculations, relating to fifty percent benefits for disabled people, are based on standard standards for the consumption of utilities, including electricity.

In 2018, Mosenergosbyt provides low-income Russians living in Moscow (including disabled people) with a preferential discount of fifty percent. As already mentioned, this percentage is removed from the cost, which is calculated based on the volume of electricity consumed only. That is, the readings of electric meters - special devices for metering electricity consumption - are taken into account. But at the same time they should not exceed legal norms.

Let's consider the values of electricity consumption standards that are established by the legislation of our state specifically for disabled people who enjoy a number of benefits and discounts:

For citizens living alone:
- for an electric stove – 80 kW/h per month;
- for a gas stove – 50 kW/h per month.
For families:
- for an electric stove – 70 kW/h per month;
- for a gas stove – 45 kW/h per month.

Unclaimed kilowatts, that is, those remaining from the norm this month, are not carried over to the next.

If a disabled person or a family with disabled people consumed during the billing period - in our country this is a calendar month - less electricity (based on electric meter readings) than provided by the standards, then fifty percent of the benefits apply to this entire volume. For example, the meter reading is 60 kilowatts; in such a situation, payment with a fifty percent discount will be made for 30 kilowatts.

If the volume of preferential electricity standards established by law is exceeded, a fifty percent discount only works up to the standard limit. The remaining kilowatts are paid at the full 100% tariff. For example, the monthly electricity consumption of one disabled person is 300 kilowatts (according to meters), from this figure it is necessary to subtract a preferential discount, which will be 40 kilowatts: 80 kilowatts according to the standards minus 50% of the benefits provided for disabled people living alone. According to these calculations, 260 kilowatts will be paid for (300 kilowatts consumed minus 40 kilowatts discounted).

Let's look at another example based on real facts. According to standards, a family disabled person using an electric stove can use an average of 70 kilowatts/hour. At the same time, a fifty percent discount in the form of utility benefits is valid for 35 kilowatt/hour. In case of conversion to rubles according to tariff schedule(in March 2018, 1 kilowatt/hour costs 3 rubles 52 kopecks), we have: 35 kilowatts is 123 rubles 20 kopecks. If the electricity consumption standards for family disabled people with an electric stove are exceeded, that is, more than 70 kilowatt/hour, a preferential 123 rubles 20 kopecks should be deducted from the total amount and the balance should be paid. With lower electricity consumption (up to 70 kilowatts/hour), preferential (fifty percent) discounts are calculated: in a month the meters have increased 60 kilowatts, then only 30 of them are paid.

You can clarify any misunderstandings that have arisen regarding benefits for people with disabilities that relate to paying for electricity without leaving your home. Now this is possible thanks to the official website of Mosenergosbyt -

Has the benefit actually been cancelled?

Analysts claim that such an event is not being prepared for 2018, and people with disabilities will need to pay about the same amount for electricity as last year. However, certain changes in the preferential system did occur.

Preferential changes primarily apply to those disabled people who live in the capital of Russia and are considered low-income citizens of the country. In particular, they touched upon:

citizens who are partially or completely unable to find work due to illness;
Russians who are unable to provide for themselves on their own due to injuries received or any type of injury;
families raising disabled minors;
categories of persons who have become disabled due to radiation exposure.

In 2018, benefits for electricity and the use of housing and communal services are provided for the above-mentioned citizens of the country, but not in the same quantity as before. From 2018, people with disabilities will be able to pay half the amount for the following types of services:

City heating.
Electricity and natural gas.
Cold and hot water supply.
Use of sewerage.

The law, created in 2017, states that people with disabilities are provided with the same 50% discount on the payment for the above services, but the amount for electricity will become higher, since changes have occurred in preferential treatment calculation.

New preferential payment

In 2018, people with disabilities will be recalculated with a preferential discount using a different system based on the total volume of utilities used by low-income citizens of the Russian Federation. It will be removed by control and statistical authorities from special devices that are designed to keep track of utility bills. During this event, all instrument readings will be monitored. Control authorities must prove that the readings from the devices of low-income citizens who need benefits do not exceed the consumption standards approved by the legislation of the country.

If people with disabilities have not been provided with data recording devices, then all calculations regarding the receipt of fifty percent benefits will be based on averages. This point affects all utilities and electricity.

What do people with disabilities need to have to apply for electricity benefits?

In order for people with disabilities to receive a preferential discount on electricity in 2018, they need to visit the USS (Social Security Administration). To territorial government agency You must submit the following documents to receive a preferential discount:

original and photocopy of personal passport;
a certificate indicating the composition of the family;
medical confirmation of disability;
certificate of retirement age, if such a document exists;
a handwritten application to the USS, which will contain a request for benefits for utility bills or electricity.

It is worth adding that if all the documents are correctly completed, and the debt for electricity or other types of utilities has not been repaid, then disabled people will be denied a discount.

New standards for electricity consumption in 2018

As mentioned earlier, starting from 2017, low-income citizens of Russia and people with disabilities can apply for a preferential discount on housing and communal services. This innovation applies to both citizens living in the capital Russian Federation, as well as Russians located in other cities of the country. The electricity benefit will be calculated based on the total amount of resources used when reading meter readings. During this event, the consumption rate is taken into account, which should not exceed the indicator approved by the legislation of the country. There are certain standards regarding electricity consumption for disabled people, which do not exceed the limit allowed by law:

for a citizen who has received a disability and lives in an apartment without a family, Wh per month is provided for the use of an electric stove and Wh per month for the use of a gas stove;
for disabled people living in a family, Wh per month is provided for an electric stove and Wh per month for a gas stove.

If preferential standards have not been used within a month, they are not carried over to the next month.

How does preferential payment work in 2018?

If a Russian citizen who has a disability and received a benefit for paying for electricity consumption in 2018 consumed within calendar month a smaller amount of electricity, which is calculated from instrument readings, then a 50% discount will apply to the entire volume consumed. That is, if, when taking readings, the device shows the consumption of kilowatts, then you will have to pay only kilowatts, exactly half of the device readings.

If the volume of preferential consumption norms turns out to be higher than the indicator provided for in the legislation, then disabled people must be paid as much Money, how much is provided within standard indicators, taking into account a fifty percent discount. The remaining payment for exceeded standards will have to be paid without benefits, that is, at the regular rate.

An example can be given: if, when taking a meter reading, the device shows that 300 kilowatts of electricity were used in a month by a family where a disabled person lives, then 35 kilowatts must be subtracted from this indicator (a preferential discount, which in total provides for 70 kilowatts, and when subtracted 50% turns out to be a preferential 35 kilowatts). As a result, 265 kilowatts are subject to 100% payment, and 35 are subject to preferential rates.

Payment for electricity by region of the country

Since economic conditions different regions Russia is not equal, it was allowed individual regions independently indicate electricity consumption standards in 2018 for disabled people and low-income citizens. This point also applies to payment for housing and communal services, for which Russian citizens have the right to receive payment benefits.

Throughout 2018, single Russians over 70 years of age can receive an additional 50% discount for major renovations of their apartment or private home. And if a citizen is over 80 years old, then they can be completely exempt from this payment.

50 % social norm benefits are provided in accordance with Art. 17 Federal Law “On social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation”

Disabled people and families with disabled children are given a discount of at least 50 percent on the cost of living quarters and utility bills (regardless of the housing stock), and in residential buildings that do not have central heating - on the cost of fuel purchased within the norms installed for sale to the public.

According to the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “on the social protection of disabled people,” when paying for housing and communal services, you are entitled to a benefit of 50% (Article 17 of this Federal Law of the Russian Federation).

The discount on these housing and communal services is 50% of the cost per person, we also calculate electricity and housing and communal services.

If a utility service is accounted for according to meter readings, then the total volume of consumed service is distributed equally among all members of the disabled person’s family.

In the absence of utility metering devices, calculations are made for the benefit recipient.

Actually the pre-story:

We live together with my mother, she’s a group 2 disabled person, and she comes up and says, look, the latest electricity bills have arrived, and they say the amount is quite decent.

We look at the old bills, for December 2015 - the amount is 450 rubles.

For January already 780 rubles.

For those who don’t know, disabled people of group 2 and Chernobyl survivors are entitled to benefits for heating, water supply, sewerage services, hot water supply (water heating), electricity, gas in the amount of 50% of meter readings.

That is, in fact, we wound up with 900 rubles. per month - 50% = 450 rub. (+-)

And here! 780*2= 1560 rubles per month. - we live curly, I thought.

We call MosEnergo and sort out the flights with them. The sweet girl tells us the following:

“Starting January 1, 2016, the procedure for determining the amount of benefits provided to certain categories of citizens has been changed in Moscow. Read on our website in the news section “01/21/2016 Changes in the procedure for providing benefits in Moscow.”

“In connection with the entry into force of the Decree of the Moscow Government of December 23, 2015 No. 932-PP “On amendments to legal acts of the city of Moscow and the recognition of legal acts (certain provisions of a legal act) of the city of Moscow as invalid”, in accordance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation dated June 26, 2015 No. 176-FZ “On amendments to the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and certain legislative acts Russian Federation" from January 1, 2016 in Moscow, the procedure for determining the amount of benefits provided to certain categories of citizens has been changed.

These changes established that disabled people and families with disabled children under the age of 18, as well as persons exposed to radiation as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and nuclear tests at the Semipalatinsk test site (and persons equivalent to them), are provided with a discount of 50 interest on payment of utilities (heating, water supply, sewerage, hot water supply (water heating), electricity, gas) based on the volume of consumed utilities, determined by meter readings, but not more than consumption standards approved in established by law Russian Federation is ok. In the absence of the specified metering devices - based on utility consumption standards.

Thus, starting with payments for electricity consumed in January 2016, Mosenergosbyt PJSC provides citizens-consumers of utility services for electricity supply belonging to the above categories with a discount of 50 percent of the cost, calculated based on the volume of electricity consumed, determined by instrument readings accounting, but not more than established consumption standards.

The new procedure for calculating benefits for these categories of citizens can be found on the website of PJSC Mosenergosbyt.

I’ll immediately translate the text of the rules so as not to have to search:

“In accordance with Decree of the Moscow Government of December 20, 1994 No. 1161, the following standard values have been established for citizens entitled to benefit within the limits of consumption standards:

Single citizens living in an apartment equipped with:

Gas stove - 50 kWh

Electric stove - 80 kWh

Family citizens living in an apartment equipped with:

Gas stove - 45 kWh

Electric stove - 70 kWh

The standard is set for a month.

If the volume of electricity consumed in the billing period is less than the preferential standard, then a 50% discount is provided for the entire volume.

If the volume of electricity consumed in the billing period is greater than the preferential standard, then a 50% discount is provided for the volume within the consumption standard, and the remaining portion is paid at 100% of the tariff.

At the same time, the “remaining” kilowatts of the standard are not carried over to the next month.

If there are 2 or more standard benefits on the account, the standard is summed up when calculating.”

That is, in fact, previously disabled people were provided with a discount (benefit) for the entire amount according to the meter readings, but now a 50% discount will apply only to the standard value calculated in 1994.

If a disabled person had 300 square meters per month, then in 2015, he only paid for 150 square meters.

Now he will pay for 260 sq. (300-80/2(80-quota for singles)).

Such things are all for people.

A pensioner uses 300 kW per month? Some kind of suspicious smell. Seems like a bullshit attempt to mislead.

Next question. Have you counted yourself? The benefit is given to your mother, not you. If both of you are registered, the meter readings are divided by two, and only the mother’s half is given a benefit. If it is not registered, then even more so you should not deceive the organization providing energy supply services.

everything is correct. I worked in this field, so I know it first hand. In our country in Ukraine, such a provision on the division of consumed services among all family members was adopted a long time ago (if anything, long before the Mandan, so no need for a nanny). you have no idea how many people were outraged by this section. and what is characteristic is that they are mainly children of beneficiaries, who themselves do not have any rights to benefits. they say, how is it that we used to pay this much, but now I have to pay in full. yes I you. yes I'm on you. Yes, you don’t know how to write on the wall. You won’t be working here tomorrow!

and it was also very difficult to explain to people about consumption standards.

What’s most offensive is that those people who really had a stalemate situation tried to figure it out, understood and accepted everything. shouted those whose disabilities were bought with money and whose incomes were through the roof.

What are you doing at 300(.) kW per month?

Thanks a lot! My neighbor and I turned gray when the bill arrived at almost 6k, now we’ll be in the know.

And it didn’t matter how many people lived with the beneficiaries?

Registered not registered.

In fact, there was a clear 50% discount on the meter.

As the person above wrote, “Hodor75”: “if both are registered, divide by two”, SHTA?

When I lived with my mother, I never heard such a thing. How would it be calculated then who reeled in how much?

And in fact, the post is not about numbers (why don’t they) - but about a competent “innovation” - consider it - an “amendment” to the law on people with disabilities and their benefits.

And so 1 refrigerator, electric stove, microwave, washing machine, TV, PC, tape recorder (radio), DVD, kettle, hair dryer, iron, sewing machine, home telephone (handset), - this is + - every family at home has + - standard kit. Here are the numbers for the month.

We had an average of about 100 kWh - why are people surprised? There were two of us living like this, and sometimes my grandmother would also come by, but only my mother was registered, I was registered with my grandmother.

Why are you surprised? Still, almost a quarter of the twenty-first century has passed outside the window, and electricity is still produced by rubbing a woolen rag on an ebonite stick!

And it is obtained in this way by precisely those who push such “concern for the people” through. But inflation! This means they have to pay more money!! For the guardians of our good are very tired.

Source: for disabled people of the second group: list and registration rules

When a disability group of 2 is established due to partial loss of health, a citizen of the Russian Federation does not lose his rights to self-realization and public life.

Indeed, at the state level, a number of benefits and guarantees are provided for this category of persons, allowing them to realize themselves in many industries, with the help social benefits and pensions, the list of which is approved at the legislative level.

Dear readers! The article talks about typical solutions legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to find out how to solve your particular problem, contact a consultant:

Legislative regulation of the issue

In particular, the second group is established in accordance with the application of Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 1013n, which provides the main criteria characterizing membership in this group, namely the second degree:

self-service, which involves partial assistance from other persons or technical devices on a regular basis;
the ability to move independently, again with the help of others;
ability to navigate in space or adequately perceive the environment with the help of technical devices or assistants;
ability to communicate, but again with the help of other persons;
control over one’s behavior is possible only with the help of other people or with significant adjustment with medications;
training only in specialized corrective institutions taking into account disabilities;
ability to work only in specially created conditions and with the use of auxiliary technical means.

That is, in fact, disabled people of group 2 can be full-fledged members of society, they can study, work, communicate, walk and enjoy life, but only with the help of other people who will help them with this or with the presence of special technical means that perform those functions which the body is no longer able to perform.

For example, wheelchair users can realize themselves with great success in many professions that involve mental work, but only for this they need the help of outsiders, as well as the support of government bodies, which will create necessary conditions for labor and social adaptation in almost any setting and in most areas of life.

Procedure for registration of status

The procedure for recognizing a person as disabled and establishing the 2nd group is currently regulated by the norms of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 95, which stipulates not only the selection criteria and the degree of disability, but also the procedure itself.

In particular, the initial stage of establishing disability is the referral of a citizen to medical and social examination the attending physician in the presence of persistent disorders of body functions for examination. That is, a doctor, when a citizen contacts him with health complaints or on instructions pension fund or the social protection department carries out a diagnosis, which is confirmed by medical documents and data from which is then entered into the established referral form.

To the agreed medical direction The following package of documents is attached:

application from a citizen requesting an examination;
identification document;
copies of medical documents that confirm the data reflected in the referral.

Also, in some cases, other documents may be needed. Let's say, upon receipt work injury You must attach a complete package of documents confirming the recording of this case in the organization. If a citizen is injured during military service or its consequences have manifested themselves, then medical documents about treatment during the period of service are needed. That is, every word and diagnosis must be documented.

The received documents are submitted for consideration to ITU Bureau at the place of residence, which convenes a commission consisting of specialists of several specializations to fully assess the loss of life important functions body. The entire course of the examination is recorded in the protocol, and the decision is made by a majority vote and enshrined in the established form of the act, which in fact becomes the basis for recognizing a citizen as a group 2 disabled person.

After 3 days, a citizen recognized as disabled is issued a certificate of the established form based on the conclusion of the MSEC, as well as individual program rehabilitation with a description of permissible loads, opportunities and other components of future social life.

Types of payments and benefits

Considering that disabled people of group 2 have a 2nd degree of limitation of life support functions, not all of them can work and provide for themselves, and besides, having health problems, they need:

constant drug treatment;
carrying out rehabilitation measures;
purchase of special technical equipment;
payment for services to persons who provide care or assistance.

All of the above and such necessary measures imply material support, which is allocated by the state as social support.

In particular, on the basis of Article 27 of Federal Law No. 181, a disabled person of group 2 is entitled to several types of financial assistance:

Source: for payment of electricity at 2017 tariffs

Socially vulnerable categories of citizens find it difficult without outside help pay bills for utilities, in particular electricity. Therefore, in order to reduce costs for housing and communal services, the state provides benefits to certain categories of individuals.

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, electricity benefits in 2017 are available to several categories of citizens.

But local regional authorities have the right to expand the circle of people who can receive a discount on housing and communal services, including electricity. Therefore, before collecting the package necessary documents, you should find out whether you can count on this type of benefit.

In most federal districts, benefits are provided:

participants of the Second World War. This group includes not only veterans of the Great Patriotic War, and also people who worked in the rear, survived the siege of the city of Leningrad, visited concentration camps, disabled people of the Second World War, and some other categories;
disabled people This includes disabled people of all groups and people who received disabled status from birth. Benefits apply to the entire family;
other categories. These are low-income families, large families, liquidators of the Chernobyl accident, labor veterans of retirement age, combatants;
orphans, heroes of Russia or the USSR, citizens who have the Order of Labor Glory.

The discount ranges from 30 to 100%, depending on the group of beneficiaries. But it applies to standard energy consumption. If a family uses more electricity, then everything in excess of the norm is paid for on its own.

It should be understood that a benefit is not a subsidy, and when a receipt for payment of utility bills arrives, you must pay the entire amount. After this, money will be returned to your bank account in the amount of the discount provided.

Benefits for paying for electricity did not change in 2017. The only thing that has changed is the calculation method, so the numbers in the receipts will be an order of magnitude higher than in the previous heating season.

Electricity benefit groups in 2017

Benefits in 2017 for electricity remained at the same level as before. Conventionally, they can be divided into 3 groups:

complete exemption from utility bills. A 100% discount is given to heroes of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation, children who have lost their parents and holders of the Order of Labor Glory;
50% discount. Most beneficiaries receive it, for example, disabled people and WWII veterans;
30% discount. Parents with 3 or more children or low-income families can count on it.

There are no benefits for pensioners on electricity consumption and payment.

Benefits on electricity tariffs in 2017 are set by local authorities and may differ depending on the region of residence of citizens. For residents of rural areas and urban areas multi-storey buildings with and without electric heating equipment, tariffs are different.

Consumption standards are set for the first and second half of the year due to the fact that electricity consumption increases in the autumn-winter period. They also depend on the climatic characteristics of the region, the number of people living in the apartment, and the decisions of local authorities.

The standard value is calculated based on the electricity consumption of one person, sufficient for normal life. In reality, this figure differs from the actual one, and you will still have to pay part of this utility payment from your own wallet.

You can apply for benefits only if there are no debts on utility bills and for one housing, both at the place of registration and at the actual place of residence.

Documents for the return of benefits for disabled people and other categories of citizens for electricity in 2017

If a citizen belongs to one of the categories of beneficiaries and does not have debt for housing and communal services, he can take advantage of the right to receive a discount on electricity. To do this, you should prepare documents such as:

passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
certificate of family composition. It is needed in order to know whether the beneficiary has dependents, how many people live in the apartment and calculate the standard from this. If the discount is provided only to the beneficiary and does not apply to family members, then it will be carried out by isolating the amount based on the standard value for one person;
a certificate confirming that the person has no debt at the time of submitting documents. Issued by the company that supplies electricity to your region;
birth certificate of children for large families, income certificate for the poor, papers indicating disability, etc. That is, any document that can confirm that you are a beneficiary;
application in the prescribed form. You can write on the spot or prepare in advance by downloading a sample on the Internet;
Bank details. The return of benefits for disabled people for electricity in 2017 or any other categories of citizens is carried out to a bank account. That is, after full payment of the payment, part of the funds will be compensated to the account you specified.

You need to contact the representative office of the company providing energy supply services. Submitted documents are reviewed within 10 days. If the decision is positive, the return of part of the spent funds will begin in the month following the month the application was submitted.

Calculation of electricity benefits in 2017 for labor veterans

Calculation of electricity benefits in 2017 will be carried out based on accepted standard values. For single people, the norm is 50 kW/h, for houses equipped with an electric stove – 80 kW/h.

For example, if a person uses less electricity than the norm, this does not mean that the entire amount will be compensated from the state budget, and the beneficiary will not need to spend it at all. In this case, exactly half of the energy consumed is paid. Let’s say that a labor veteran lives alone in the building, no one else is registered in his apartment, and he consumed less than the norm, then:

40 kW x 50% = 20 kW, where 40 kW is the amount of energy consumed by a person per month, 50% is allotted benefit for electricity for a labor veteran in 2017. The price for 20 kW is refundable.

If more energy is used than normal, for example 150 kW, then the calculation method will look like this:

Let’s find out the standard: 150 kW – 50 = 100 kW;
number of watts for which you will have to pay per general conditions: 100 kW – 50% = 50 kW;
the final figure after adding consumption exceeding the standard will look like this: 50 kW + 50 kW = 100 kW.

Electricity benefits in 2017 for disabled people of groups 2 and 3

The electricity benefit for disabled people in 2017 is 50% of standard energy consumption. And it is calculated according to the example above. This year, despite rumors, there are no plans to cancel the discount.

Every month, indicators are taken from the electricity meter, according to which calculations will be made. If a disabled person does not have such a device, then the average standard values will be taken into account in the calculation. Therefore, you should not be surprised when the benefits for electricity for a disabled person of group 2 in 2017 are the same as for everyone or the amounts in receipts for people with disabilities living in the same house will differ significantly. Indeed, in most cases, a person with a meter will pay less.

In 2017, the benefits for disabled people of group 3 for electricity are the same as for other categories of people with disabilities. After all, the discount does not depend on income, but on confirmed citizen status.

Providing benefits to people with disabilities is legislatively confirmed by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 27, 1996 No. 901 “On providing benefits to people with disabilities and families with disabled children to provide them with living quarters, pay for housing and utilities.” The text states that “disabled people and families with disabled children are given a discount of no less than 50 percent on housing costs in state, municipal and public housing stock, payment for utilities (regardless of the housing stock), and in residential buildings, not having central heating - the cost of fuel purchased within the limits established for sale to the population.”

Calculation of benefits for electricity in public areas in 2017

In 2017, the methodology for calculating electricity for household needs changed. In this regard, it has undergone changes appearance receipts. Electricity costs for common areas will be displayed in the “Residential Maintenance” section.

The second thing that has changed is the very principle of distribution of the amount for electricity. If previously the total kilowatts were divided equally between residents, now the calculation depends on tariffs and benefits for each specific energy consumer. To do this, a standard is taken, which is multiplied by the area of public spaces. After this, the result is divided by the area of residential and non-residential premises in the house. Next, the area of the apartment and the tariff for 1 kW of an individual tenant are multiplied by the result obtained and the amount that the person needs to pay for the month comes out.

It follows from this that benefits for electricity in public places in 2017 depend on the category of citizens. If previously the discount for this type of utility payment did not apply, then from January 1, 2017 it became real.

The state takes care of socially vulnerable categories of the population, regularly developing programs to help citizens. One of the benefits is a reduction in utility costs. To whom and where are electricity benefits provided?

What electricity benefits are provided by the state? Legislation

Russian legislation in 2019 provides for 2 types of preferential conditions when paying electricity bills. These include the following discounts:

thirty%. Families raising 3 or more children are eligible to apply for it. This category can take advantage until the youngest child reaches the age of 16 years.
70%. This benefit applies to families raising 10 or more children.
100%. Heroes of the USSR and Russia, children who have lost both parents, holders of the Order of Labor Glory do not pay for electricity.
50%. This discount on the tariff is valid for other categories of citizens entitled to state support.

The provision of benefits is regulated Federal laws(, etc.), Presidential Decrees (etc.).

At the local government level, Laws are also issued, which are supplemented by other categories of beneficiaries and regulate their procedure for issuing discounts.

Who can count on preferential conditions?

The legislation clearly defines the circle of persons who have the right to receive compensation for payment for electricity. If a person falls into several categories at once, the discount does not increase. In this case, the citizen will need to choose one of the possible benefits.

Participants of the Great Patriotic War and hostilities

Most benefits are intended specifically for this category of citizens. Payment for the use of electricity is no exception. Participants in World War II and other military operations have the opportunity to pay a reduced amount.

A 50% discount per person is provided to persons who participated in the Second World War and their disabled family members, as well as those who worked in the rear and survived the siege of Leningrad.

They apply to their entire family only if the war participant became disabled during or after hostilities or was a prisoner of a concentration camp. The reimbursement is also 50%, but is paid based on the energy consumption of the entire family.

Disabled people

Electricity benefits for disabled people and disabled children are provided regardless of the recognized group. The discount is half of the total invoice amount. Compensation for electricity for disabled people of group 2 applies to the entire family in which the beneficiary lives.

Other preferential categories

Depending on the region, the list of those eligible for electricity benefits may vary. Therefore, there are categories that have the right to count on a discount when paying for electricity in a particular area. These include:

Large families.
Labor veterans.
, retired due to old age.
Citizens who took part in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident at Chernobyl and other nuclear power plants, and their close relatives.

Typically compensation is 50%. Benefits for paying for electricity for labor veterans apply only to themselves, and for liquidators of the Chernobyl accident, the discount applies to the whole family.

Procedure for applying for subsidies

Citizens entitled to a subsidy from the state are interested in the question of where to apply for electricity benefits? This is done by the company that provides the population with electricity. To apply for a discount, you will need to visit this institution and submit an application requesting the benefit and a package of necessary documents. You can also do this at the multifunctional center (MFC).

List of documents

Unfortunately, there is no simple way to apply for a discount on electricity payments at Mosenergosbyt that would not force you to visit various organs and collect papers. It is impossible to do without this.

The list of documentation required to receive preferential terms when paying for electricity includes:

Applicant's passport.
Papers that confirm the citizen’s right to receive compensation.
Pensioner's insurance certificate.
Certificate indicating the number of family members.
Medical certificate certifying the presence of disability.
A document confirming that the citizen has no debts to the company supplying electricity.
Bank details for further receipt of monetary compensation from the government agency.

What documents are needed to apply for electricity benefits should be obtained from the MFC in advance, since their list may vary depending on the region.

Calculation of compensation

Electricity benefits are calculated in the following way. The citizen receives receipts with full amount, which is calculated based on actual resource consumption. The beneficiary pays this bill in full, then he receives compensation in the amount he is entitled to. The transfer is made to a bank account.

Electricity consumption standards

An important point is the calculation of the readings that are subject to reduction. The state does not have the ability to pay compensation for all the electricity consumed by beneficiaries. Therefore, she must calculate the rate of energy consumption, which is enough for a full human life.

Typically, the normal value is less than the actual electricity consumption. Its calculation depends on climatic conditions subject of the country, type of heating equipment and some other factors.

For example, for people living in houses with gas stoves, the norm is set at 45-50 kW/h, depending on the number of family members. For citizens who have electric stoves, the normal figure is 75-80 kW/h.

Thus, people benefit from electricity payment benefits based on their consumption rate and not on the actual amount. For example, if a person spent 90 kW in a month, the norm for him is set at 50 kW, and the discount is 50%, then he will need to pay half of 50 kW and 40 kW in full.

Disabled people, parents of disabled children, and people affected by radiation lost the usual half of the amount for electricity. Approved by Moscow Government Decree No. 932 new system: Now these citizens must pay half of the consumption standard. The standards were approved back in 1994: for family beneficiaries with an electric stove - 70 kWh/person (with a gas stove - 45), for singles - 80 kWh/person (with a gas stove - 50). Benefits for disabled people are now calculated on the basis of these standards.

The social consumption norm - from 50 to 190 kW according to the decision of local authorities - of electricity was approved by a decree of the Russian government in 2013. As an experiment, taking this standard into account, residents of six Russian regions are paying for electricity.

Moscow is not one of them.

Benefits for disabled people in 2018-2019

“As you know, at the initiative of United Russia, we returned the calculation of benefits not based on the social norm, but on the total volume of consumption. This decision was made. And from January 1, we must return overpaid utility bills to disabled people and Chernobyl victims - this is about a million people,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

The procedure for receiving benefits is standard. Citizens living in the old territory of the city will be provided with benefits in payment for utility bills in kind. Residents of the TiNAO - in the form of monetary compensation. To exercise their right to receive benefits, most beneficiaries will not need to write an application. If information about them is available in the information databases of the Moscow Government, a 50 percent discount on utility bills for the entire volume of consumption will be established automatically.

Benefit recipients have been deprived of 50 percent of their electricity payment; instead, they must pay half of the consumption standard - 70 kWh/person. Payments at the beginning of the year came without any benefits at all, reports zelenograd.ru.

Disabled people, parents of disabled children, and people affected by radiation lost the usual half of the amount for electricity.

Benefits for disabled people of the second group for payment of utilities

Moscow government decree No. 932 approved a new system: now these citizens must pay half of the consumption standard. The standards were approved back in 1994: for family beneficiaries with an electric stove - 70 kWh/person (with a gas stove - 45), for singles - 80 kWh/person (with a gas stove - 50). Benefits for disabled people are now calculated on the basis of these standards.

In January, beneficiaries were sent electricity bills without taking into account benefits. “We went to the Mosenergosbyt branch, where we were told that we needed to collect documents and re-register the benefits again.” In connection with changes in legislation, it is necessary to provide a copy of the financial and personal account to clarify the number of citizens to whom the benefit will apply, the press service of Mosenergosbyt explained to Zelenograd.ru. Earlier it was reported here that specific figures for the new tariffs were “provided by the Moscow Regional Energy Commission a few days before the payments were calculated.

Mosenergosbyt explained the calculation procedure within the standard.

If the volume of electricity consumed in the billing period is less than the preferential standard, then a benefit of 50% is provided for the entire volume.
If the volume of consumption in the billing period is greater than the preferential consumption standard, then a discount of 50% is provided for the volume within the consumption standard, and the remainder is paid at the full tariff.
If there are several citizens in one family who are entitled to social support measures within the limits of consumption standards, a benefit of 50% is applied to the total preferential standard.
At the same time, the “remaining” kilowatts of the standard are not carried over to the next month.

Mosenergosbyt gives examples of calculating benefits according to the standard, but for some reason they only apply to labor veterans and families with many children. For example, if one benefit recipient lives in an apartment with an electric stove, and the consumption is 300 kWh, then a benefit is provided for 70 kWh (in fact, only half is paid - 35 kWh), and 230 kWh is paid at the full tariff.

What documents are needed to apply for a discount on electricity payments?

Passport
Pension certificate (for pensioners)
A document providing the right to use the discount on payment for electricity (VTEK certificate, “Veteran of Labor” certificate, certificate of a mother of many children, certificate issued by the guardianship and trusteeship authorities or the head of an educational institution, etc.);
Insurance certificate of state pension insurance;
A copy of the financial and personal account (for beneficiaries using standard or shared benefits);
Current meter readings (as of the day you applied for the benefit);
Payment receipts for 6 months (if available).

You can apply for (and re-register) the benefit in the offices or on the Mosenergosbyt website at “ personal account" The beneficiary does not have to go to the office himself; his relative or social worker can provide documents.

In Moscow, more than a million disabled people and Chernobyl victims will receive benefits for housing and communal services. “As you know, at the initiative of United Russia, we returned the calculation of benefits not based on the social norm, but on the total volume of consumption. This decision was made. And from January 1, we must return overpaid utility bills to disabled people and Chernobyl victims - this is about a million people,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

The issue of practical measures to implement the party’s initiative was considered at a meeting of the Presidium of the Moscow Government. The discussion was attended by the head of the United Russia faction in the Moscow City Duma Andrei Metelsky, the secretary of the MGRO party Nikolai Gonchar and the director of the Heir school Lyubov Dukhanina.

Earlier, changes were made to federal legislation according to which, from January 1, 2016, benefits for utility bills (50 percent discount) to disabled people and Chernobyl victims are provided only within the limits of consumption standards, and not for the entire volume of consumed utilities.

As a result, payments for electricity alone increased from an average of 400 to 900 rubles per apartment per month, depending on the composition of the family and the actual volume of consumption.

“Naturally, this raised questions among disabled people and society. This topic was raised at meetings with deputies of the Moscow City Duma and State Duma. She also became the main one at the United Russia forum, which discussed the problems of people with disabilities,” said Vladimir Petrosyan, Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population.

The issue of abolishing the use of consumption standards for electricity, water and other utility resources when calculating benefits for utility services was actively discussed at the Moscow city forum “For equal rights and equal opportunities,” which was held on April 12.

Following the forum, the United Russia faction sent Sergei Sobyanin proposals for disabled people and families raising disabled children to enjoy benefits for utility bills, regardless of the amount of resources consumed (as before, before January 1, 2016). In addition, people with disabilities must receive compensation from the city budget for overpaid utilities after January 1.

The mayor of Moscow supported these proposals. In addition, it was decided to extend the initiative to return benefits for utility bills to Chernobyl victims.

As a result, the United Russia faction introduced into the Moscow City Duma draft law “On amendments to Article 9 of the Moscow City Law of November 3, 2004 No. 70 “On measures of social support for certain categories of residents of the city of Moscow.” It is expected that it will be considered at the next meeting.

And at a meeting of the Presidium of the Moscow Government, a resolution was adopted “On the procedure for providing additional measures of social support for paying utility bills to disabled people, families with disabled children, and citizens affected by radiation.”

This legal act determines mechanisms for the return of benefits for utility bills to more than one million Moscow disabled people, families with disabled children, and Chernobyl victims. From May 1, they will again be provided with a 50 percent discount on the entire volume of consumed utilities without taking into account consumption standards.

The procedure for receiving benefits is standard.

Benefits for paying for electricity: who is eligible, how to calculate and receive

Citizens living in the old territory of the city will be provided with benefits in payment for utility bills in kind. Residents of the TiNAO - in the form of monetary compensation. To exercise their right to receive benefits, most beneficiaries will not need to write an application. If information about them is available in the information databases of the Moscow Government, a 50 percent discount on utility bills for the entire volume of consumption will be established automatically.

Muscovites whose information is not available in the information databases of the Moscow Government can contact any “My Documents” public service center, as well as the district departments of the City Center for Housing Subsidies to establish benefits.

The resolution also provides for the return of overpaid utility bills to disabled people, families with disabled children and Chernobyl victims starting from January 1, 2016. Refunds will be made over four months: January, February, March, April.

Excess funds spent on electricity payments will be returned in the form of a lump sum cash payment to the bank accounts of beneficiaries. Refunds will be issued starting in May.

“This is about a thousand to one and a half thousand rubles for each family,” added Vladimir Petrosyan.

If extra funds were also spent on paying for other utilities (heat, hot and cold water and more), then the corresponding payments will be reduced in the single payment document for May. Residents of the TiNAO will receive back all overpaid funds in the form of a one-time cash payment.

“Sergey Semyonovich, you already know that the volume of budget expenditures will be from three and a half to four billion rubles,” the Minister emphasized.

It is symbolic that the date of consideration of this issue at a meeting of the Presidium of the Moscow Government coincided with the 30th anniversary of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (April 26, 1986).

Who can count on a refund of overpayments for housing and communal services?	More than one million Moscow disabled people, families with disabled children, Chernobyl victims and other victims of radiation disasters.
How to get a recalculation?	Most beneficiaries do not need to write an application. If information about them is in the information databases of the Moscow Government, a 50 percent discount on utility bills for the entire volume of their consumption will be established automatically. Muscovites whose information is not in the information databases of the Moscow Government or if they do not see the benefit for the entire volume of consumption in the payment document for May 2016, to establish a benefit, can contact any public service center “My Documents”, as well as the district departments of the City Center housing subsidies.
How will the overpayment be refunded?	Citizens living in the old territory of the city will receive benefits in paying for utility services in kind. Residents of New Moscow - in the form of monetary compensation. Excess funds spent on electricity payments will be returned to beneficiaries living in the old city territory in the form of a one-time cash payment to bank accounts. Payments will be made in May 2016. Excessive funds paid by beneficiaries living in the old territory of the city, spent on paying for other utilities (heat, hot and cold water, etc.), will be returned by reducing the corresponding payments in a single payment document for May 2016. Residents of New Moscow will be refunded overpaid amounts for all utilities in the form of a one-time cash payment also in May 2016.
For what period will the recalculation be made?	The resolution provides for the return to disabled people, families with disabled children, Chernobyl victims and other victims of radiation disasters of overpaid funds for utilities starting from January 1, 2016 (that is, reimbursement will be made for four months - January, February, March, April).
What documents need to be provided for recalculation?	Benefits according to the new (returned) rules will be accrued automatically, since all beneficiaries are in the databases of Moscow social security departments.
How long will it take from submitting documents to receiving money?	Cash compensation will automatically be sent to the account to which social benefits are transferred to each beneficiary. If for some reason the beneficiary does not receive compensation or a payment with new calculations in May, he can write a statement at the City Center for Housing Subsidies or any “My Documents” government service center.

Veterans of labor have the right to compensation for part of their electricity costs.

What benefits are available to disabled people of group 2?

To receive government assistance, a number of conditions must be met.

In Russia, labor heroes are supported by providing them with federal benefits.

Benefits for labor veterans for electricity include compensation for part of the cost of paying bills.

A labor veteran is a person who has a large seniority, awards, thanks and badges for conscientious performance of duties.

To qualify for compensation for electricity costs, a citizen must fulfill one of the following conditions:

have extensive work experience - women over 35 years old, men over 40 years old;
have awards, orders or badges;
being minors, begin working during the Great Patriotic War.

Important! Requirements for obtaining veteran status may vary from region to region.

Amount of benefits

In comparison, discounts of 30% and 70% are applied as benefits for utility bills for large families.

As for labor veterans, they are entitled to a 50% discount in the form of compensation for the money paid on their electricity bill.

persons who received the title of Hero of the USSR and the Russian Federation;
persons who have the Order of Labor Glory.

Procedure for calculating compensation

When calculating the amount of compensation, social authorities pay Special attention family composition. To correctly calculate compensation, you need to know the number of family members living with the beneficiary. The amount of compensation is also affected by the current electricity standards for a particular region and the area of the apartment (house).

In addition, the absence of debts on payment of electricity bills is taken into account. If there is debt, the applicant will not be able to receive assistance.

Innovations – electricity limits

Since January 2017, so-called limits on electricity use have been introduced. If previously the benefit was provided for the total amount of light consumption, now everything has changed. The beneficiary can no longer use electricity excessively and pay for it at a discount. Now a certain limit has been established, and compensation is provided subject to compliance with this limit:

if the beneficiary lives alone, then he is entitled to 50 kW/h for a month if he has a gas stove and 80 kW/h if he has an electric stove;
if a veteran lives with a family of several people, then he is allocated 45 kW/h with a gas stove and 70 kW/h with an electric stove.

If the established limits are exceeded, the excess must be paid according to general standards without applying any concessions.

The above standards are valid in Moscow and the Moscow region. In other regions they may differ significantly.

Benefit calculation example

A lonely veteran lives in a Moscow apartment and uses an electric stove. The calculation of the benefit directly depends on whether he met the established limits or exceeded them.

If the beneficiary has not spent the established limits, then the calculation will be as follows.

The actual amount of kilowatts consumed is multiplied by the discount provided. For example, 50 kW × 50% = 25 kW. In this case, the veteran must pay for electricity as if he had consumed not 50 kW, but only 25 kW. The result obtained is multiplied by the regional standards.

If the veteran has exceeded the limits, the calculation will be made differently.

The first step is to determine the difference, i.e. the number of kilowatts exceeded. To do this, you need to subtract the limit from the total number of kilowatts per month, in this case - 80 kW.

For example, 100 kW – 80 kW = 20 kW surplus. Thus, the veteran will be given a discount for only 80 kW, and for the remaining 20 kW he will pay at the general tariff.

How to get compensation

To register the right to compensation, the applicant must prepare the following package of documents:

Russian passport and its copy;
application for the right to benefits;
SNILS insurance certificate;
pensioner's ID;
a document confirming the status of a labor veteran;
certificate of family composition;
a certificate of absence of debts for payment for electricity;
bank account details.

It is allowed to submit documents through a representative, but in this case, a notarized power of attorney for the right to represent the citizen’s interests must be attached to the package of documents. Copies of all submitted documents must also be certified by a notary.

Where to contact

The provision of benefits is carried out by the social security authorities of citizens. You can contact us either directly or through the multifunctional center.

However, in some regions, documents must be submitted to the regional operator. For example, in Moscow, documents are submitted through Mosenergosbyt.

Terms of consideration

Social security authorities are given 10 days to review the documents and make a decision. If the decision is positive, the veteran is issued a certificate granting him the right to a benefit in the amount of 50%. With this certificate, he needs to contact the management company, which maintains the house and which charges for electricity.

Important! Electricity benefits can only be provided for one veteran's home or apartment. If there is other real estate, the veteran is required to pay the costs in full.

Starting next month, payments will be accrued using the discount. The veteran will receive benefits to the specified bank account in the application when submitting documents.

Payment for housing and communal services falls heavily on the shoulders and wallets of the majority of the country's citizens. The amounts on receipts are growing, but income is not keeping up with them. Therefore, benefits for electricity and other types of housing and communal services are now in demand, as are subsidies.

People try to use every opportunity to reduce payments. Let's figure out who gets benefits in 2019.

What are benefits and how do they differ from subsidies?

The state has a social function. It obliges him to take care of citizens who are unable to pay for their own needs. In particular, a preferential electricity tariff is established for some categories.

Sometimes people confuse this preference with subsidies. But these are different things.

A benefit is a reduction in pay due to belonging to a special category.
The subsidy depends on the ratio of income and payment for housing and communal services.
Preferential preferences are not legally linked to income. They are established for socially vulnerable or deserved citizens.

Electricity discounts are not automatically provided. You must declare your right to the relevant company providing the service.

Who is eligible for benefits?

It is necessary to understand that part of the payments falls on the budget. For example, if a citizen is given a preference of 50%, then the state is obliged to reimburse the service provider. Moreover, the payer is the region, not the federal budget.

It follows from this that the categories of citizens to whom benefits are established are determined by the regional government by its act. They may vary depending on the subject of the Russian Federation. However, there are categories of people who are universally assigned preferences. Let's consider them.

The following categories may not be eligible. For clarification, you should study the documents of the regional government.

Participants of the Great Patriotic War and hostilities

People who risked their lives for their homeland are respected in the country. They are entitled to the most preferences, including for payment of housing and communal services. The group called “World War II participants” is quite extensive.

It is divided into subgroups. Each one has its own preferences: only for the beneficiary or for the whole family.

The reduction in payments depends on the specific category. So, half of the established norm per person can be paid by:

WWII participants;
disabled members of their families;
rear workers;
citizens who survived the siege of Leningrad;
family members of deceased disabled people/World War II participants.

The preference applies only to the beneficiary.

There are honored citizens whose benefits are taken into account for the whole family. These include:

disabled people of the Second World War;
concentration camp prisoners;
WWII participants who became disabled later.

For them, the discount will be 50% on the consumption norms of the entire family.

Preferences can be obtained only for one apartment: by registration or by actual residence.

Disabled people

The next large group of citizens considered socially vulnerable. Electricity discounts for these people have changed slightly in 2018. The percentage of preferences remained the same - 50%. Changes have occurred in the calculation method, causing their payments to increase slightly. This category includes:

disabled people of all groups;
disabled children.

The preference of half the payment according to the consumption rate applies to the entire family in which this beneficiary lives.

Other categories

Each region is free to expand the list of persons for whom the budget pays. Thus, in some regions of the federation discounts are provided:

large families (from three minor children or more);
Labor veterans who are pensioners;
liquidators of accidents at Chernobyl and other nuclear power plants;
close relatives of the liquidators.

On average, each category has a 50% discount. However, for liquidators it applies to all family members. Their close relatives (if they live separately) use it only themselves. For families with many children, preferences vary depending on the region. Their value varies from 30 to 70%.

Low-income families can also qualify for discounts. But they are not installed in all regions.

Who doesn't pay their electricity bills?

There are citizens who enjoy a 100% discount. It is necessary to understand that it applies to standards, and not all electricity used. 100% beneficiaries include:

Knights of the Order of Labor Glory;
Heroes of Socialist Labor;
Heroes of the Soviet Union or Russia;
orphans or children left without parental care.

Pensioners who do not fall into one of the categories do not have benefits.

Consumption standards

The next point is to determine the indications that are eligible for the discount.

The question is not easy. It often causes difficulties for citizens.

The fact is that the budget does not have the ability to pay for everything that benefit recipients use.

The regional government calculates and determines how much electricity a citizen needs for a normal life. This is the consumption norm.

As a rule, the norm is significantly lower than actual consumption.

It must be remembered that the norm depends on:

weather conditions of the region of residence;
provision of premises with slabs;
characteristics of the region itself.

For example, in the capital the standards for 2018 were:

for houses with gas stoves:
- single residents - 50 kW/h;
- family - 45 kW/h;
with electric stoves:
- single residents - 80 kW/h;
- family - 75 kW/h.

The consumption rate is set by the regional government. Discounts apply only to her. Citizens pay the rest in full (unless otherwise provided).

Confirmation of preferences

Any discounts on tariffs begin to apply only after a citizen declares them. In the case of electricity, you need to go to the company that provides the population with electricity.

You must have the following documents with you:

passport;
certificate confirming the category;
a certificate of family composition, indicating the area of the premises;
payment receipts.

At your appointment with a specialist, you will need to fill out an application. It has a set form. Citizens can find the form on the company’s official website and fill it out themselves at home. In addition, you must leave copies of documents confirming your category along with your application. It is checked, since the budget will pay extra.

Since the end of 2018, citizens have been relieved of the obligation to document their lack of debt when preparing an initial or repeated package of documents for applying for benefits. Such information will be requested by officials themselves through their interdepartmental communication channels.

Discounts will begin to apply the next month after the date of application. Preferential tariffs are not established for debtors.

Counting example

Let's demonstrate the logic of discounts using the example of a single disabled person. Let's say he lives in an apartment equipped with an electric stove. The norm for this citizen is 80 kW/h.

The discount will be taken into account according to the following logic:

If less than the specified norm is consumed, then you will have to pay 50% of the electricity used. When the meter reading is 60, it is calculated as follows: 60 kW x 50% = 30 kW.
If more than the norm is consumed (let it be 130 kW), then the calculation is different. First you need to subtract from general indications standard: 120 - 80 = 50. The discount will be 50%. Consequently, you will have to pay on a general basis for 40 kW out of 80 kW. To these should be added consumption that exceeds the norm. 40 kW + 50 kW = 90 kW.
In money as of March 2017:

90 kW x 3.52 rub. = 316.80 rub. (here 3.52 is the price per kilowatt).

You need to carefully look at the distribution of the discount: is it assigned only to the beneficiary or to the whole family.

Regional differences

Discounts and preferences are established by local authorities. This also causes confusion. For example, in the capital, single pensioners are eligible for benefits. And in the region there are no discounts on electricity for such people.

honorary donors of the Russian Federation and the USSR;
combatants and others.

To accurately determine the size of preferences and categories of citizens, you need to look at the regulations of the regional government. Typically, this information is posted on the official websites of both the government authority and the company providing the services.

Citizens who are unsure of their rights are advised to contact their electricity supplier. Have all documents with you. If the beneficiary cannot go to the company office, a relative or social worker.

February 10, 2017, 18:01 March 3, 2019 13:50

Relatively recently, the population of the country received disappointing information regarding the abolition of benefits intended for people with disabilities. The cancellation, according to the information, concerns those services that helped pay disabled people the amount for electricity, and since in 2019 the payment for it increased again, everyone is worried about the current situation.

Has the benefit actually been cancelled?

Analysts claim that such an event is not being prepared for 2019, and people with disabilities will need to pay about the same amount for electricity as last year. However, certain changes in the preferential system did occur.

Preferential changes primarily apply to those disabled people who live in the capital of Russia and are considered low-income citizens of the country. In particular, they touched upon:

citizens who are partially or completely unable to find work due to illness;
Russians who are unable to provide for themselves on their own due to injuries received or any type of injury;
families raising disabled minors;
categories of persons who have become disabled due to radiation exposure.

In 2019, benefits for electricity and the use of housing and communal services are provided for the above-mentioned citizens of the country, but not in the same quantity as before. From 2019, people with disabilities will be able to pay half the amount for the following types of services:

City heating.
Electricity and natural gas.
Cold and hot water supply.
Use of sewerage.

The law, created in 2017, states that people with disabilities are provided with the same 50% discount on the payment for the above services, but the amount for electricity will become larger, as there have been changes in the preferential payment procedure.

New preferential payment

In 2019, people with disabilities will be recalculated with a preferential discount using a different system based on the total volume of utilities used by low-income citizens of the Russian Federation. It will be removed by control and statistical authorities from special devices that are designed to keep track of utility bills. During this event, all instrument readings will be monitored. Control authorities must prove that the readings from the devices of low-income citizens who need benefits do not exceed the consumption standards approved by the legislation of the country.

What do people with disabilities need to have to apply for electricity benefits?

In order for people with disabilities to receive a preferential discount on electricity in 2019, they need to visit the USS (Social Security Administration). The following documents must be submitted to the territorial government agency to receive a preferential discount:

original and photocopy of personal passport;
a certificate indicating the composition of the family;
medical confirmation of disability;
certificate of retirement age, if there is such a document;
a handwritten application to the USS, which will contain a request for benefits for utility bills or electricity.

It is worth adding that if all the documents are correctly completed, and the debt for electricity or other types of utilities has not been repaid, then disabled people will be denied a discount.

New electricity consumption standards in 2019

As mentioned earlier, starting from 2017, low-income citizens of Russia and people with disabilities can apply for a preferential discount on housing and communal services. This innovation applies to both citizens living in the capital of the Russian Federation and Russians located in other cities of the country. The electricity benefit will be calculated based on the total amount of resources used when reading meter readings. During this event, the consumption rate is taken into account, which should not exceed the indicator approved by the legislation of the country. There are certain standards regarding electricity consumption for disabled people, which do not exceed the limit allowed by law:

for a citizen who has received a disability and lives in an apartment without a family, 75-80 kW/h per month is provided for using an electric stove and 45-50 kW/h per month for using a gas stove;
for disabled people living in a family, 65-70 kW/h per month is provided for an electric stove and 40-45 kW/h for a gas stove.

If preferential standards have not been used within a month, they are not carried over to the next month.

How does preferential payment work in 2019?

If a Russian citizen who has a disability and received a benefit for paying for electricity consumption consumed less electricity during a calendar month in 2019, which is calculated from instrument readings, then a 50% benefit will apply to the entire volume consumed. That is, if, when taking readings, the device shows a consumption of 50-60 kilowatts, then you will have to pay only 25-30 kilowatts, exactly half of the device readings.

If the volume of preferential consumption standards turns out to be higher than the indicator provided for in the legislation, then disabled people must pay as much money as provided within the normative indicators, taking into account a fifty percent discount. The remaining payment for exceeded standards will have to be paid without benefits, that is, at the regular rate.

Payment for electricity by region of the country

Since the economic conditions of different regions of Russia are not equal, individual regions were allowed to independently indicate electricity consumption standards in 2019 for disabled people and low-income citizens. This point also applies to payment for housing and communal services, for which Russian citizens have the right to receive payment benefits.

Throughout 2019, single Russians over 70 years of age can receive an additional 50% discount for major renovations of their apartment or private home. And if a citizen is over 80 years old, then they can be completely exempt from this payment.
