Young people are reassured that their help can be invaluable and that if sufficient quantity donated blood It will be quite possible to cope with many serious illnesses and injuries among our compatriots.

Active informing of schoolchildren and students bears fruit: for Lately The number of voluntary blood and plasma donors has increased significantly, and their number is only increasing every year. This is one of the most clear examples of the activity and responsibility of modern youth; yet many people continually criticize the current generation for the lack of these qualities.

Along with the active expansion of the circle of donors in Russia, there is also an increase in the number of honorary donors. Accordingly, this award is no longer so privileged. In this regard, the legislation has changed somewhat - the government has amended the bill regulating the receipt of an honorary badge.

In this article, we will tell you in detail not only about changes in the legislation on blood and plasma donation, but also about how to receive an honorary badge. You will also find out which legal basis There are now mixed blood donors. Especially for new donors, we will tell you:

Legal regulation of blood donation

Legislation that regulates the relationship between the donor, the host organization, and the volunteer’s place of work is both Labor Code Russian Federation, And the federal law“On the donation of blood and its components.”

The Labor Code is involved here primarily because the organization in which the volunteer is employed is obliged to provide him with some privileges during the donation of blood or its components (plasma, red blood cells, and so on). We will talk in more detail about the privileges that are provided to the donor from his organization a little later.

The federal law regulating the legal status of blood donors prescribes all the requirements for volunteers quite clearly and unambiguously. In the next section of the article we will analyze in detail all the requirements that are currently imposed on blood donors.

Who can become a blood donor in the Russian Federation in 2018-2019

The official website of the blood service presents a very convenient algorithm that allows you to determine whether you can become a blood donor in our country. The algorithm is quite simple, but converting it into text form is extremely difficult, and it will take up too much space. Therefore, we will simply briefly list the basic requirements for volunteers.

The most basic requirement is age. Unfortunately, citizens under eighteen years of age cannot become participants in such a program. This is why schoolchildren who receive information about donation are so disappointed when they learn about this requirement. But when they reach adulthood, the desire to become a voluntary donor of blood and its components turns into a completely conscious desire, which pushes them to take this important step.
The volunteer's weight should not be less than fifty kilograms. This is due to simple concern for the health of Russian citizens. If an adult weighs less than fifty kilograms, then taking such an amount of blood can have an extremely negative impact on his well-being. As a rule, thin citizens have an extremely difficult time even simple tests blood from a vein - what can we say about donation, which involves donating enough large quantity blood.
Absence of any chronic diseases affecting blood composition or immune system. This is a completely obvious requirement and there is no need to explain it.
It is necessary that the volunteer has never left our country within the last month. Abroad - especially in such exotic countries as the countries of the African continent, South America, south Asia and so on, there is great amount various infections, which our body, unadapted to them, is simply not able to tolerate. These infections enter the blood and change its composition, and therefore blood service employees are obliged to make sure that the citizen is not infected with any such infection. Of course, no one will require any documentary evidence of this fact from you. However, please note that if you have been abroad for last month, then you will have to delay submitting the material. This period is set so that the infection (if any) has time to manifest itself. If within a month after returning home a person does not experience any ailments, then everything is in order with his health.
For girls and women there are some special rules. First of all, donating blood depends in part on menstrual cycle. You cannot donate blood during menstruation and for five days after. This is due to hormone surges and some changes in blood composition that accompany each menstruation in girls. Therefore, the donation of material at the blood collection point must be coordinated with your women's calendar. The second “female” rule concerns young mothers. You cannot become a voluntary blood donor within a year after giving birth.

When you hand over the material at the collection point you will receive:

one paid day off from your organization;
free food;
monetary compensation (this must be waived if you want to receive an honorary badge).

A voluntary donor is a person who donates blood for healthcare needs and expects state compensation. For many citizens, donation has become an integral part of life, which is always honorable and in demand in medicine.

For its part, the state is implementing a program of subsidies and provision of material and social benefits for donors. With regular changes in legal regulations, the government always pays close attention to help and support for people who voluntarily donate blood.

The latest changes regarding donation were made in 2012. Currently, a citizen who meets the following criteria can be considered a donor:

A donor is considered to be a person who has donated blood at least once;
if by medical indications a person became a donor twice in a year;
a citizen who has the status of “honorary donor”.

Our lawyers will promptly and free of charge provide legal advice on the issue of interest to the donor. We will help you deal with officials, all kinds of refusals and obstacles in receiving the required subsidies and benefits.

A citizen who has fulfilled all mandatory requirements and rules can become an honorary donor. To confirm his rank, a person receives a badge and a corresponding certificate. It is the assignment of donor honorary status that will make it possible in the future to claim material and social payments. Any interested citizen who meets the following standards can receive the title:

You will need to provide documentary evidence of free blood donation to the regional Ministry of Health;
obtain confirmation of the badge from the Ministry of Health;
Obtain a verified badge and ID from your local health authority.

Local branches directly decide on the assignment of a title if a citizen is recognized as an honorary donor back in the USSR. The applicant must be a citizen of the Russian Federation and legally reside in the country. There is a certain feature for calculating the amount of blood donated. The man has legal right engage in donation for payment, and each paid case is not counted when calculating to obtain the status of an honorary donor.

Occasional blood donation does not allow one to claim deserved status. To become an honorary donor, the following conditions must be met:

the blood donation procedure must be carried out more than 40 times;
for plasma, you will need to go to the blood transfusion center 60 times;
donation of blood components more than 25 times, taking into account plasma donated 40-60 times depending on the overall composition.

Help for preferential categories of citizens is always provided from two sources: federal and local. In the case of donation, the rules are slightly different from the standard. The citizen receives a support package from the state and employer or educational institution where the student is studying. Largest quantity conflicts and legal disputes arise between the honorary donor and the entrepreneur if employment takes place in a private enterprise.

The guidelines must provide the donor with additional paid leave and pay compensation in accordance with federal regulations. All such rules are strictly followed at state enterprises and in budgetary organizations. In case of individual entrepreneur or legal entities management is trying to get rid of the employee or demands that possible benefits be waived.

A complete list of subsidies and benefits can be found after assigning status to the authority social security by area of residence. You can ask questions of interest to citizens on the official website of social insurance.

annual one-time payment of more than 12 thousand rubles. To receive funds, you will need to write a corresponding application and attach your documents confirming your eligibility;
visit medical organizations and specialists without a queue, upon presentation of an ID;
preventive health measures at the expense of the employer or educational institution;

For getting medical services and registration of vacation benefits, you must present a certificate. Material funds are transferred to a person upon application and presentation of a passport and donor ID.

In addition to federal installations, there is the possibility of providing subsidies and benefits by the local government. The authorities are not legally required to subsidize honorary donors; there are only recommendations. This is why many regions are curtailing social programs, citing budget difficulties. Meanwhile, there are regions that provide donors with significant local government support.

The Moscow region is rightfully considered the most prosperous in terms of support from honorary donors. The rules have been created and operate since 2008, while the areas of support are comprehensively expanded every year. No full list benefits provided to honorary donors living in Moscow:

free travel on public transport;
free dental care, including prosthetics;
50% discount on utility bills;
upon request, a 50% discount on medications prescribed by a doctor.

In some cases, subsidies are provided to donors who currently continue to donate blood while already being honorary citizens. Past merits confirmed by a certificate do not always allow you to take advantage of the entire permissible list of support. For example, it is necessary to provide a certificate of donation of blood and plasma in the reporting year, three and seven times, respectively. Having received the “Honorary Donor of Moscow” sign, you can count on much greater compensation for your activities.

Moscow residents previously received regional monetary compensation, but this was abolished in 2017. Muscovites can get federal funds in the amount of 12 thousand rubles, allocated to all donors in the country. Compensation is indexed simultaneously with other social payments and increases annually. You can receive funds within a year, after coordination and approval of the application.

If inspectors have doubts about the authenticity of the certificate, the owner may be required to provide additional documentation confirming the legality of receipt.

Those who donate blood are required to mandatory requirements: weight more than 50 kg, age over 18 years and passing medical commission. Citizens of the Russian Federation who are permanently registered and are not susceptible to chronic diseases who have no medical restrictions. After donating blood, the donor receives a voucher for free food at the specified catering establishment.

According to the previous rules, it was possible to exchange a coupon for money, but at the present time citizens are deprived of such an opportunity. According to calculations, the cost of lunch is 400 rubles, which would not be amiss for many citizens who donate blood. It should be taken into account that previously, when applying, the citizen received all payments for those years when he was already considered an honorary donor. By existing rules, payments are issued for the year of application, no later than April 1 or later, upon application. Payments are not taxed and do not need to be declared.

If you decide to donate blood, you should not be afraid of this procedure, which is carried out quite quickly and painlessly. It usually takes 10 minutes to donate blood, and the plasma is collected within 30 minutes. The collection is carried out using certified and sterile equipment, eliminating the possibility of infection of the person donating blood.

At the blood transfusion station, each donor is given a certificate on a standard form about the collection operation performed, and all necessary registration information is noted. The decision to confer an honorary title is made within 95 days, and the applicant is notified of the positive decision.

Benefits for honorary donors

Our state provides whole line benefits and subsidies for citizens who have been awarded the titles “Honorary Donor of Russia” and “Veteran of Labor”. How to get both of these statuses, and what preferences are provided at the legislative level?

The concepts of “Honorary Donor of Russia” and “Veteran of Labor”

“Veteran of Labor” is a special title that is awarded to persons who have a certain length of service and awards for labor activity. () This status gives the right to insurance pension payments in an increased amount.

The length of service required to obtain this category is established by current Federal and regional legislation, and depends on working conditions, climate zone and other factors.

Usually for women this is at least 20 years of continuous experience, and for men - 25.

The status of “Honorary Donor” is regulated by other legal norms and is assigned to citizens who have donated blood or its components in a certain amount throughout their life (40 or more times).

To encourage people to do such useful work, the state developed special programs, and changes were made to the Pension legislation, allowing an honorary donor to be treated as a veteran of labor and receive similar pensions and benefits.

These two statuses are regulated by different regulatory framework, therefore they cannot be identified. Each of them provides certain benefits and compensation.

It is necessary to remember that such a title as “Honorary Donor” is awarded by the Government on the basis of the Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation in accordance with July 20, 2012.

Legal basis

Can an honorary donor to Russia receive the title “Veteran of Labor” and take advantage of all the benefits and other material compensation?

This issue is clearly regulated by the following legal acts:

Federal Legislative Act No. 125 of July 20, 2012 “On Donors”. Articles 23, 24 of this law establish the legal grounds for obtaining this status, as well as the number of donations of blood and its components that a person must donate in order to be awarded this title.
Federal legislative act under the year number, regulating the procedure for calculating pensions. The norms of its articles 30 and 32 indicate that citizens who have received the status of “Honorary Donor” have every right to receive a special pension.
Regional legal documents, which regulate the receipt of donor and veteran statuses in specific constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Based on the above regulations, the titles “Honorary Donor of Russia” and “Veteran of Labor”, although they differ from each other, give citizens the opportunity to enjoy all the benefits and privileges given to these categories of people. But it's worth considering! The title “Honorary Donor” does not provide privileges for conferring the title “Veteran of Labor”, since donation is not considered a contribution to work activity.

Special attention should be paid to judicial practice on such issues. In 2009, the Supreme Court put an end to disputes related to the assignment of pension payments to people who often donate blood and have government preferences for this.

You need to know that an honorary donor is given a special distinctive sign and a corresponding certificate. According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, the “Honorary Donor” medal is not a state award.

Who is awarded this title?

Stateless persons can also count on this status, but at the time of registration of documents they must have a residence permit and prepare to become citizens of Russia. Registration of citizenship for such persons is necessary in order to take advantage of the benefits and other compensations provided by the PD and receive an insurance pension.

It is important to remember that stateless people, even if they donated a lot of their blood, cannot count on pensions, benefits and other privileges in the Russian Federation. Only citizens of our country have the right to this.

How many times do you need to donate blood?

To earn this title, a person must fulfill the condition specified in Federal Law No. 125 (donate blood a certain number of times).

PD statuses are assigned to the following people:

donating blood or its components (except plasma) more than forty times;
those who have donated blood or its components more than 20 times;
persons who have donated blood plasma more than 60 times;
people who have donated blood with its constituent components and plasma more than 60 times.

Some regions establish separate requirements for the amount of blood donated in order to receive donor payments and other compensation. For example, to receive the title “Honorary Donor of Moscow”, it is enough to donate blood more than 20 times and plasma more than 30 times.

Only blood donated free of charge is considered to receive the title “Honorary Donor”.

What documents need to be provided

If a labor veteran wants to become an honorary donor, then such a person must submit a certain package of documents to the Ministry of Health:

medical certificates from relevant institutions about the fact of donating blood and its components, certified by the seals and signatures of the relevant employees (in the case of free blood donation);
medical papers on paid blood donation and its components, certified accordingly, indicating the amount of funds paid;
medical donor card (book), where each fact of donation of this biological material is recorded;
passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation or a document confirming a residence permit.

It is necessary to remember that all facts of blood donation must be recorded. If, for example, it was rented out to acquaintances, friends, and medical institution, which does not specialize in accepting, processing and transporting donor blood, this will not be counted.

Benefits for honorary donors

Having figured out whether the honorary donor is a labor veteran or not, you now need to determine exactly what benefits such people are entitled to.

They are divided into several categories:

Labor preferences. The right to additional paid time off, separate vacations for up to two weeks, regardless of the main one.
Assignment this status at the same time gives the right to receive annual material compensation in the amount of 13 thousand rubles, benefits and compensation provided for by Federal and regional legislation.
Extraordinary medical service in government and municipal institutions healthcare.
Receiving free health vouchers to boarding houses and.

You need to know that regional authorities also have the right to give such citizens additional preferences. For example, discounts on utility bills.

Early pension for honorary donors

Since the status of “Honorary Donor” does not provide privileges for conferring the title “Veteran of Labor,” there can be no talk of accruing an early pension. This is directly regulated by the provisions of Articles 30 and 32 of the Law “On Insurance Pensions”, which state that badges and statuses of this category of citizens do not belong to departmental distinctive signs, certificates of honor and other documents equivalent to them. Therefore, PD cannot count on such a preference.

You need to know that if someone who often donates blood has sufficient length of service or departmental orders and awards, he has the right to early retirement, but not according to the above status.
