Center for Social Protection of the Population. Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Labor of Russia)

Dear Vladimir Arshakovich!!! I am again forced to turn to your help, since the subordinate officials of the Lyublino district rule everything, besides, the current legislation does not provide for keeping records (queue) of citizens in need of sanatorium-resort treatment, separately for each preferential category, with registration of citizens to receive sanatorium-resort treatment, a general priority is formed among persons included in the Federal Register who are entitled to receive state social assistance. The result is me, V.I. Zelenin. Veteran of the DB, awarded government and departmental awards of the USSR and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, disabled 3rd grade military service, father of many children (4 daughters 6,9,12,18 years old) by decision of the commission of the South-Eastern District of Moscow Department social protection the population of the Lyublino region is forced to either undergo treatment in winter, autumn, early spring, or (from a letter from Stolyarova I.Yu.) not rest at all. ALTHOUGH I WILL NOT RETURN THE MONEY FOR THE TRIP. HOW TO UNDERSTAND WHERE IS LOGIC AND SOCIAL JUSTICE? To specific questions to social protection employees of Lyublino, South-East Administrative District, Moscow, answers like: “... we have nothing to do with all this, nothing is written down in the documents, the order is not defined. ALTHOUGH in the letter of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated September 30, 2005 N 4677-ВС - CLEAR WRITTEN—-
6.1. The right to receive state social assistance in the form of a set social services. In accordance with this chapter, the following categories of citizens have the right to receive state social assistance in the form of a set of social services:
1) war invalids;
2) participants of the Great Patriotic War;
3) combat veterans from among the persons specified in subparagraphs 1-4 of paragraph 1 of Article 3 Federal Law“On Veterans” (as amended by Federal Law No. 40-FZ of January 2, 2000); And. d. According to the employees: “this is a simple transfer”
A picture is being created - both with the EU and the Doping Control Commission and Russian people. ALSO, SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICIALS DO NOT SEE THE OBVIOUS THING AND ARE EQUAL TO ALL DISABLED PEOPLE AND VETERANS. So it turns out that disabled people who were injured due to drunkenness, in prison, etc., relax in the summer at the sea, and those who deserve to serve in the Fatherland only in the low season or without treatment at all (from the response of officials of the Lyublino OSZN: “we are not obliged to provide a trip annually - since the manual documents indicate no more than once a year....) BUT no one is going to return the money for an unused voucher. I consider these answers, at best, to be disgraceful and callous; at other times, they are hatred and disrespect for merit, for veterans of the military service or CORRUPTION. I ask you to sort it out, pass laws and restore justice to the honored citizens of RUSSIA. And also force social security officials to ANSWER THE QUESTIONS posed, and not write replies “ABOUT FOMA WITH JERY”. The best way to love the Motherland - not to chat about it, but to try to make it better. To do this, you often have to pay attention to the shortcomings of the Motherland, otherwise how can you get rid of them? PLEASE HELP! Sincerely, Zelenin V.I.

Social protection of the population- this is one of the most important directions of the state’s social policy, which consists in establishing and maintaining socially necessary material and social status above all members of society.

Sometimes social protection is interpreted more narrowly: as ensuring a certain level of income for those segments of the population who, for whatever reason, cannot provide for their own existence: the unemployed, the disabled, the sick, orphans, the elderly, single mothers, large families. Basic principles of social protection:

  • humanity;
  • targeting;
  • complexity;
  • ensuring individual rights and freedoms.

The system of social protection of the population and its structure

Social protection system is a set of legislative acts, measures, as well as organizations that ensure the implementation of social protection measures for the population and support for socially vulnerable segments of the population.

It includes:

1. Social Security— arose in Russia in the 20s of the twentieth century. and meant creation state system material support and services for elderly and disabled citizens, as well as families with children at the expense of the so-called public consumption funds. This category is essentially identical to the category of social protection, but the latter applies to a market economy.

In addition to pensions (for old age, disability, etc.), social security included benefits for temporary disability and childbirth, for caring for a child under one year of age, assistance to families in maintaining and raising children (free or on preferential terms, nurseries, kindergartens, boarding schools , pioneer camps etc.), family benefits, maintenance of the disabled in special organizations(nursing homes, etc.), free or preferential prosthetic care, provision of mobility aids to disabled people, vocational training for disabled people, various benefits for families of disabled people. When moving to the market, the system social security largely ceased to perform its functions, but some of its elements became part of modern system social protection of the population.

2. - provision of social benefits and services to citizens without taking into account labor contribution and means testing based on the principle of distributing these benefits according to the needs of available public resources. In our country, social guarantees include:

  • guaranteed free medical care;
  • accessibility and free education;
  • minimum wage;
  • minimum pension, scholarship;
  • social pensions (for disabled people since childhood; disabled children; disabled people without length of service; children who have lost one or both parents; persons over 65 (men) and 60 (women) years old who have no work experience);
  • benefits at the birth of a child, for the period of caring for a child until he reaches the age of 1.5 years, up to 16 years;
  • ritual benefit for burial and some others.

Since January 1, 2002, the amount of benefits associated with the birth of a child has been increased. Thus, the amount of a one-time benefit for the birth of a child increased from 1.5 thousand rubles to 4.5 thousand rubles and in 2006 - to 8,000 rubles, the monthly benefit for the period of parental leave until the child reaches the age of one and a half years from 200 up to 500 rubles, and in 2006 - up to 700 rubles. This benefit provided 25% of the living wage able-bodied person. The monthly allowance for a child under 16 years of age has not been revised and is 70 rubles. Its ratio to the child's subsistence level was 3.0% in 2004. In Moscow and some other regions, this benefit increased to 150 rubles in 2006.

A type of social guarantees are social benefits. They represent a system of public guarantees provided separate groups population (disabled people, war veterans, labor veterans, etc.).

It includes travel on suburban transport, free drug provision, spa treatment and travel to the place of sanatorium treatment. The law provides that from January 2006, beneficiaries will be able to choose between a social package and receiving the corresponding amount of money.

From January 1, 2006, monthly cash payments in accordance with the law were established in the following amounts: disabled people of the Great Patriotic War - 2000 rubles; WWII participants - 1500 rubles; combat veterans and a number of other categories of beneficiaries - 1,100 rubles.

Disabled people who do not have a degree of limitation to work, with the exception of disabled children, receive 500 rubles monthly.

Social insurance— protection of the economically active population from social risks on the basis of collective solidarity in compensation for damage. The main social risks associated with loss of ability to work, work and, accordingly, income are illness, old age, unemployment, motherhood, accident, work injury, occupational disease, death of the breadwinner. The system is financed social insurance from special off-budget funds, formed through contributions from employers and employees, as well as government subsidies. There are two forms of social insurance - mandatory (with state support of its funds) and voluntary (in the absence of state aid). Support for citizens is provided primarily through cash payments (pensions and benefits for illness, old age, unemployment, loss of a breadwinner, etc.), as well as through financing the services of health care organizations, vocational training and others related to the restoration of working capacity.

Social support(assistance) is provided to socially vulnerable groups of the population who, for one reason or another, are unable to secure an income for themselves. Assistance is provided through both cash and in-kind payments (free lunches, clothing) and is financed from general tax revenues. Social assistance is usually means tested. Assistance is provided to those people whose incomes are below the minimum standard of living, and acts the most important element policies to combat poverty, ensuring a minimum guaranteed income, as the realization of the right to life.

Social support is not limited to financial assistance. It also includes measures in the form of assistance and services provided individuals or groups of the population by social services to overcome life difficulties, maintain social status, adaptation in society.

Activities of social services in social support, provision social and household, medical, pedagogical, legal services and material assistance, carrying out social adaptation and rehabilitation of citizens in difficult life situations was formed in separate industry social sphere - social services.

System of institutions social services in Russia it is developing at a very rapid pace. For the period 1998-2004 total quantity social service institutions increased by a third. At the same time, the number of institutions for the elderly and disabled has increased by more than one and a half times compared to 1985, and by 18% compared to 1998. Number of social assistance centers for families and children for 1998-2004. increased by 2 times, social rehabilitation centers- 2.5 times. There are 25 rehabilitation centers for young disabled people and 17 gerontological centers. New types of social service institutions have appeared: crisis centers for women, so far the only crisis center for men, crisis departments for girls.

Work aimed at providing assistance, support and protection to people, and especially to the socially weaker sections of society, is called social work.

Object social work are people who need outside help: old people, pensioners, disabled people, seriously ill people, children; people caught in
I wish life situation: unemployed, drug addicts, teenagers who have fallen into bad company, single-parent families, convicts and those who have served their sentences, refugees and displaced persons, etc.

Subjects of social work— those organizations and people who carry out this work. This is the state as a whole, implementing social policy through government bodies social protection. This public organizations: Russian Association social services, Association of social educators and social workers etc. This charities and relief societies such as the Red Cross and Red Crescent.

The main subjects of social work are people engaged in it professionally or on a voluntary basis. There are about half a million professional social workers (that is, people with appropriate education and diplomas) around the world (several tens of thousands in Russia). The bulk of social work is carried out by non-professionals, either as a result of circumstances or out of conviction and a sense of duty.

Society is interested in increasing effectiveness of social work. However, it is quite difficult to define and measure it. Efficiency is understood as the ratio of the results of activities and the costs required to achieve this result. Efficiency in social sphere is a complex category that consists of goals, results, costs and conditions social activities. The result is the final result of any activity in relation to its goal. It can be positive or negative. In social work, the result is the satisfaction of the needs of its objects, clients of social services, and on this basis a general improvement in the social situation in society. Indicators can serve as criteria for the effectiveness of social work at the macro level: financial situation family (person), life expectancy, level and structure of morbidity, homelessness, drug addiction, crime, etc.

Closely related to the criterion of efficiency is the problem of the limits of social assistance to citizens. As with the implementation of income policy, it is necessary to take into account possible negative consequences massive social support: the appearance of dependency, passivity, reluctance to make decisions and solve one’s problems. Negative phenomena may arise in the social sphere (for example, active support for single mothers may result in a decrease in the marriage rate and, ultimately, the birth rate).
