If you have such a medal, you can contact social security with a request to issue a certificate.

As a rule, this document should have been issued along with the medal, but if for some reason you lost it, then It's better to restore your rights.

What to do if you are denied the title “Veteran of Labor” - rules for going to court and judicial practice

Registration of status is a long process, requiring careful consideration and verification of documents. It is because of this, as well as due to a lack of financial resources, that many face problems and refusal to obtain the appropriate certificate.

Why?

We will answer:

Firstly, old documents may be submitted that do not indicate your length of service. Usually confirm period labor activity impossible, since the company, organization in which the veteran worked has already been closed and liquidated. But do not despair, you can prove your case and work in this institution through the court, finding witnesses and the head of the organization.
Secondly, a medal or order is not suitable. A lot of attention is paid to this. Since not all awards really confirm your excellence in work activity. For example, the sign “Shock Worker of Socialist Labor” does not mean that you are a Veteran of Labor.
Thirdly, there is no accompanying documentation for the award or order. To confirm that the medal belongs to you, a covering letter should have been attached to it.
Fourthly, Article 7 of this law clearly states, that the leadership of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation can determine whether a citizen is a Labor Veteran, based on a specially approved Regulation.

To avoid getting upset in advance, read all the documentation and laws in your region that relate to this status and its registration.

The main problem is that there is no adopted law or act according to which the status of “Veteran of Labor” would be approved and awarded.

Because Each region has its own requirements and rules, disagreements arise, people have to go to court to resolve issues.

So, if you are denied a labor veteran’s certificate, you should follow these instructions:

Contact the court in your area or city. Write a statement of claim in which you describe the entire situation, as well as your rights. Also, do not forget to indicate which authority rejected you.
Collect all necessary documents. The package will include the papers that we listed above, as well as a notice with the decision made by social security.
If the court decides that you are not entitled to a medal and certificate, do not despair. File an appeal with a higher authority. Also tell them what happened and ask them to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

IN judicial practice There were cases when the issue at the district level was decided not in favor of the applicant, but at the federal level it was the other way around.

Don't be afraid to resolve issues through legal means. This is the only way you can achieve any decision and receive the due labor reward. If you do not have the opportunity to come to court yourself, then you can issue a power of attorney to one of your relatives, or entrust the case to an experienced lawyer who will represent your interests and protect your rights.

Some decided to receive money instead of the preferences provided, while others retained their benefits, which were also provided from the regional budget. A heavy financial burden fell on the shoulders of the regions, as a result of which some were unable to cope with it.

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

What types of rewards are needed?

Main part controversial issues when applying for veteran status, it concerns state awards. The following are the guaranteed basis for awarding the title.

Orders of the Russian Federation (“For services to the Fatherland”, “For personal courage”, St. George, Zhukov, Suvorov, etc.)
Orders of the USSR (Lenin, Glory, Red Banner, October Revolution, Red Star, etc.)
Medals and insignia of the Russian Federation (“For courage”, “For work in agriculture”, “For impeccable service”, etc.)
USSR medals (“For Labor Valor”, “For Distinction in Military Service”, “For Distinction in Labor”, etc.)
Honorary titles of the Russian Federation (People's Artist, People's Teacher, Honored Agronomist, Honored Artist, etc.)
The highest insignia of the USSR (Hero of the Soviet Union, Pilot-Cosmonaut of the USSR, Hero of Socialist Labor, etc.)
Departmental honorary titles of the Russian Federation and the USSR (Honorary Miner, Honorary Metallurgist, Honorary Oil Worker, etc.)
Other awards (Veteran gas industry, Excellent soldier of the border troops, Honorary Donor RF or USSR, Shock Worker of the Five-Year Plan, etc.)

A large number of orders, medals and honorary titles can be the basis for conferring the title “Veteran of Labor”

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

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

Not all state awards provide an opportunity to obtain veteran status. You will not be able to receive it if you have:

Honorary titles, certificates and diplomas from enterprises, military units and public organizations
Diplomas confirming the employee’s qualifications (including those conferring an academic degree)

Thus, it is important not only to earn work experience and honorary awards from the state, but also to prove the rights to the title of labor veteran. Most often, documents confirming the length of service and insignia are sufficient for this. But if you receive a refusal that you consider unfounded, it makes sense to contact higher government bodies or courts.

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

Since 1974 it has been awarded to:

For collective farm workers
Children of war
To workers for hard work

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

When and in what setting is it given?

Such acts usually set a limit on work experience: from 3 to 10 years.

How to get a title in Moscow

We have already said that the procedure for conferring the title of veteran is specified by regional laws. For the capital, the Moscow Government Resolution No. 443-PP dated June 27, 2006 “On the procedure for conferring the title “Veteran of Labor” (as amended on April 5, 2016) applies.

Let's try to highlight what the differences are.

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

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

Payment benefits utilities, free pass in public transport, preferential medical services for Labor Veterans are provided in almost all regions of the country

In almost every subject of Russia there are benefits:

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

What is due to labor veterans in Moscow in 2018?

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

- Free travel by public and suburban railway transport
- 50% discount on utility bills
- 500 rubles to compensate for the payment of a landline telephone
- Free production and repair of dentures, the cost of precious metals and metal-ceramics is paid by the veteran
- For non-working veterans - free trips to sanatoriums and reimbursement of expenses for round-trip railway travel
- Monthly payment of 1000 rubles to retired veterans

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

- Free registration " Social card Muscovite"

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

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

What to do if there are no rewards

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

Therefore, employees of organizations who have worked, perhaps all their lives, in one place or have a long continuous work history cannot automatically calculate the title. Their work must be assessed by a ministry or department at the federal level.

Work experience for rank

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

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

Registration procedure

The entire procedure for processing documents related to the assignment of the status of a labor veteran is prescribed in the relevant Resolution of the regional (territorial, republican) administration.

Typically it looks like this:

A local social security worker registers the applicant’s application and forms a case.
These papers are sent to the regional department. Here they are examined for authenticity by the relevant commission. It is created by the decision of the regional administration. A month is allotted for verification
If the issue is resolved positively, the papers are sent to the regional administration for approval.
In case of refusal to assign a rank, the applicant is informed in writing about this with an explanation of the reasons for the refusal. This must be done within five days from the date of the decision.
An extract from the Resolution of the regional administration on the assignment of status, together with supporting documents, is sent to the place of application
District social protection issues a VT certificate
This document is registered in a special book and handed over to its owner.
Copies of papers from the case opened in social security are stored in pension matters veteran
His pension book also contains the stamp “Veteran of Labor”, certified by the body that issued the certificate

In case of an unjustified refusal to assign VT status, it is necessary to go to court.

IN Lately Applications to social security authorities can be made electronically.

But due to the fact that consent or refusal is obtained in writing, it is ultimately necessary to provide this application in person or through a proxy.

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

In our time, it is possible to obtain the status of “Veteran of Labor” without awards. To do this, it is enough to have the appropriate work experience. This entire procedure takes 35 days.

Regulations on shock workers of communist labor

Several years ago there was a lot of debate about the legality of granting a veteran of labor to those who had the “Shock Worker of Communist Labor” badge. This is also a badge of distinction, confirming the fact of the citizen’s work and his outstanding merits, which went to the benefit of his country.

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

Drummer Badge Communist labor by decision Supreme Court cannot be the basis for conferring the title Veteran of Labor

The basis for the court's decision was the fact that the issuance of such badges was carried out as additional motivation for high-quality and conscientious performance of work duties. There was no connection to the department or length of service of the recipient.

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

Military units
Public organizations
Sports communities
Commercial structures
Structures of federal authorities

What does work experience consist of?

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

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

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

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

Medal 1974

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

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

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

Courts often side with citizens and oblige government employees to award the plaintiff the title of labor veteran. However, one statement of claim is not enough. It is necessary to provide a complete package of documents and prepare an evidence base. It is best to hire an experienced lawyer to represent your interests in court. He will be able to competently convey your position, based on current laws.

What kind of support can citizens expect?

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

Federal benefits	Regional benefits
Non-commercial service In municipal clinics	Special pension supplement (not in all regions)
Free travel or provision compensation for his payment on everything municipal transport	The right to receive some medications free of charge in municipal pharmacies and clinics
50% subsidy for utility bills payments	Subsidy for medicines
Right to a 50% discount upon use broadcasting services about some organizations	Special discount for veterans in all stores using a social card
Free treatment and prosthetics Zubov	50% discount on the purchase of train or plane tickets
Registration of vacation when it is really convenient for a veteran	Various tax deductions
Various tax deductions and benefits	Other benefits and preferences that are established in a specific region

Let us remind you that a veteran cannot use all benefits at once. After receiving a certificate confirming the right to these preferences, he must write an application to choose those benefits that are relevant specifically for him.

In particular, people who do not take public transport may not choose to qualify for free travel.

Veterans of labor who are retired are exempt from paying income tax individuals and property tax. They can also issue a deduction for treatment, including sanatorium-resort treatment.

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

If social security refuses to assign status

Having received a package of documents, social protection authorities make a decision. If the applicant is refused, this is due to the lack of grounds or the provision of awards that do not give the right to benefits under local law.

When the applicant believes that the refusal was unlawful, the procedure for his actions is as follows:

Write a complaint to the head of the regional social security department
Contact the regional Ministry of Labor for clarification
File a lawsuit

For example, the applicant has a badge “For hard work,” but the regional law does not indicate such an award as a basis. The court may decide on the weight of the award, and the applicant will become a labor veteran.

The “veteran of labor” certificate was lost

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

The duplicate is prepared within 2 days. There is no need to pay any fines for loss or accidental damage to a document.

Basic moments:

The title “Veteran of Labor” is given to persons who have departmental insignia, awards of the USSR, RSFSR and Russia. Work experience in the industry is 15 years or more and the total work experience is 20 years (women) or 25 years (men).
Without awards, the title is given to persons who began working during the Second World War.
A compelling argument for receiving the title of veteran is the applicant’s ministerial certificate of honor.
After July 1, 2016, each department issued orders that determine which departmental awards entitle them to “Veteran of Labor.”
The procedure and conditions for assigning the title are established by regional laws; they differ across the country. The lists of benefits provided to labor veterans are also not the same.
An unlawful refusal by social security authorities can be challenged in higher organizations or in court.
If you lose your ID, a duplicate will be issued within 3 days by the social security authorities.

The conditions for granting an honorary title for long-term and impeccable work are established by the Federal Law “On Veterans”. According to Art. 7 of this law, two categories of citizens can become a labor veteran:

persons who began working as a minor during the Great Patriotic War and have a work experience of at least 40 years for men and 35 years for women;
awarded with orders or medals of the USSR or the Russian Federation, or awarded honorary titles of the USSR or the Russian Federation, or awarded diplomas of the President of the Russian Federation, or awarded the gratitude of the President of the Russian Federation, or awarded departmental insignia for merits in labor (service) and long work (service) - no less 15 years - in the relevant field of activity (sector of the economy) and having labor (insurance) experience taken into account for the assignment of a pension, at least 25 years - for men and 20 years - for women, or the required length of service.

How much experience is needed to become a labor veteran?

Please note that as of July 1, 2016, the requirements of the law have become more stringent: departmental awards give the right to an honorary title only if the award is associated with at least 15 years of work or service in the relevant industry. However, this rule does not have retroactive effect, i.e. it does not apply to those who were awarded the indicated insignia before 06/30/2016.

Along with the presence of state awards and departmental insignia, a candidate for the award of a veteran title must have the appropriate labor (insurance) experience taken into account for the assignment of a pension, or the length of service necessary for the assignment of a pension.

The length of service is the total duration of periods of work and other activities that are counted towards the insurance period for receiving a pension. In turn, the insurance period is understood as the total duration of periods of work and (or) other activities for which insurance was accrued and paid. insurance premiums V Pension Fund RF, as well as other periods counted towards the insurance period in accordance with pension legislation.

Where to contact

The procedure and conditions for obtaining the title “Veteran of Labor,” as well as the social support measures provided, are determined by laws and other regulations. legal acts subjects of the Russian Federation.

As a rule, a veteran’s certificate is issued by social welfare authorities at the place of residence. When applying, you will have to fill out an application and provide the necessary documents.

In almost all regions, an application can be submitted both on paper and electronically.

What documents are needed

Scroll necessary documents, which will be required to obtain a veteran's certificate in different regions, are quite similar. After all, you need to confirm the existence of the grounds established by federal law.

For example, how to become a labor veteran in Moscow in 2019 is stated in the Decree of the Moscow Government “On awarding the title “Veteran of Labor” and issuing a veteran’s certificate in the city of Moscow.” To obtain a certificate giving the right to benefits, you need to contact the department of social protection of the population at your place of residence with an application in the established form, and also attach the following documents to it:

passport or other document proving your identity and place of residence in Moscow;
a work record book or archival certificates confirming the length of service required to grant an old-age or long-service pension, or confirming the corresponding length of service and the start of work as a minor during the Second World War, excluding the period of work in temporarily occupied territories;
documents confirming the awarding of orders or medals, certificates of honor or gratitude from the President of the Russian Federation, departmental insignia in labor or the assignment of a corresponding honorary title;
photograph measuring 3x4 cm.

How long to wait and how much does it cost

The decision to grant or deny veteran status is made by employees of social protection authorities within no more than 30 calendar days, and up to 5 additional days may be provided to notify the applicant of the decision made. When positive decision you will be issued an appropriate veteran's ID.

There is no need to pay either for submitting the application or for the certificate itself. According to current legislation, the entire process of conferring the title “Veteran of Labor” is free of charge.

How to become a labor veteran in case of refusal

You may be denied status in the following situations:

no rights to obtain status;
there is no permanent registration in the locality where you submitted your papers;
documents have lost their legal force or contain false information.

In this case, the citizen is given written refusal in conferring the title “Veteran of Labor”, indicating the reasons for the refusal. But do not despair - such a refusal can be appealed to a higher social security authority and/or in court.

For example, sometimes there is an award, but there is no certificate for it - they forgot to issue it or it was lost over many years. In such cases, people are often denied an honorary title. However, when resolving a dispute in judicial procedure courts often side with the citizen, believing that if there is an award itself, an entry in the work book and confirmation in archival records, then the absence of a certificate is not a basis for refusing to assign a veteran title.

There are also many controversial situations related to the approval of departmental awards and their list. After all, each industry has its own awards and, therefore, to confirm their legitimacy, you need to find the right basis. In this case, you should seek help from a competent lawyer.

What else to pay attention to

People often have the following question: how to get a labor veteran’s certificate if it has been damaged or lost? In this situation, it is enough to contact the social security authorities with a statement, indicating the circumstances of the loss of the document or the reasons for its damage and asking for a duplicate. Issuance of a duplicate is also free of charge.

Keep in mind that if you have the right to receive the title “Veteran of Labor,” then you can obtain it in advance, but use provided benefits It will be possible only after retirement.

The conditions for obtaining the title “Veteran of Labor” and the certificate of a labor veteran in the country and in the city of Moscow, in particular, have undergone significant changes since July 1, 2016.

This is due to the fact that on July 1, 2016, Article 3 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2015 No. 388-FZ came into force, which introduced fundamental changes to the Law of January 12, 1995 No. 5-FZ “On Veterans” in terms of requirements for work experience to obtain the title of labor veteran.

Federal Law No. 388-FZ dated December 29, 2015 “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation regarding accounting and improvement of the provision of social support measures based on the obligation to comply with the principle of targeting and application of need criteria”

All these changes are discussed in more detail in my previous materials:

Social support measures for Federal and Regional labor veterans from July 1, 2016
Conditions for conferring the title "Veteran of Labor" and the procedure for its registration under the new legislation from July 1, 2016
What length of work experience is needed to obtain the title of labor veteran under the new legislation from July 1, 2016?

One of the reasons for these changes (but not the only one; read about other reasons in these materials) was that the concept of work experience as a result of the 2015 Pension Reform in pension legislation from January 1, 2015 it was replaced by insurance experience.

However, in regional laws and acts establishing the procedure for conferring the title of labor veteran in the regions, work experience was still mentioned and is still mentioned in some places.

The Federal Law of December 29, 2015 No. 388-FZ “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation...” was called upon to resolve these contradictions, which introduced corresponding amendments to the Federal Law “On Veterans” No. 5-FZ regarding the procedure and conditions for assignment title of labor veteran.

The changes came into force on July 1, 2016, and it was from that time that subclause 2 clause 1 of the Federal Law “On Veterans” No. 5-FZ on the requirements for the length of work experience to obtain the title of labor veteran has acquired more specific wording.

According to this innovation in the law on veterans, citizens whose work (insurance record) at the time of applying for the title of labor veteran will be no less than:

20 years - for women;
25 years - for men.

This condition applies to citizens who are recipients of an insurance pension; for recipients of a state pension, the requirement for work experience to obtain the title of veteran of labor is different, namely, the length of service necessary to assign a pension for long service in calendar terms.

if one of the grounds for conferring the title of labor veteran is a departmental award, the applicant’s work experience in the relevant field or economic sector cannot be less than 15 years old.

And taking into account the considered innovations in the federal law on veterans, in terms of length of service requirements for obtaining the title of labor veteran, regional authorities must adjust their regional legislation.

This has already been done in a number of regions, for example in Moscow. Let's see what comes of it.
