Amount of payments to Chernobyl victims per year. What benefits are provided to Chernobyl victims by law? Indexation of payments and additional payments to them

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.

Following the forum, the United Russia faction sent Sergei Sobyanin proposals that disabled people and families raising disabled children should 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.

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.

Moscow disabled people and Chernobyl survivors will receive benefits for housing and communal services

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.

Previously, 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 that disabled people and families raising disabled children should 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 submitted to the Moscow City Duma a bill “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 defines 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. Citizens living in the old territory of the city will be provided with benefits in payment of 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 the excess funds were also spent on paying for other utilities (heat, hot and cold water, etc.), 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.

February 2015

Tax benefits, personal income tax, transport tax, land tax

From July 1, the procedure for calculating child benefits for citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has changed. In particular, employers do not have the obligation to pay double benefits for the period of parental leave for up to three years. Instead, a payment in a fixed amount has been introduced, which can be obtained from the social security authorities. 1C experts comment on the new provisions.

New rules for paying benefits to children of Chernobyl victims

At the end of 2015, 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” was adopted (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 388-FZ), certain provisions of which have been in effect since July 1, 2016. Innovations concern social protection measures for citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Such measures include various types of compensation and benefits. Some of them are provided by social security authorities, and some are provided by employers (in relation to working citizens). Let's review the most important amendments affecting employers.

Cheat sheet on the article from the editors of BUKH.1S for those who do not have time

1. Until July 1, 2016, for the provision of social guarantees, the length of residence in the “Chernobyl” zones did not matter.

2. From 07/01/2016, citizens who permanently live (work) in contaminated areas for a certain time (1-4 years) immediately before the appointment of maternity leave or child care benefits are entitled to “Chernobyl” social support measures .

3. The list of settlements included in the “Chernobyl” zones is revised by the Government of the Russian Federation at least once every five years.

4. A special algorithm has been developed for calculating the time of residence (work) in these areas in the event of a revision of their boundaries.

5. Such conditions were introduced to stop the practice of registering citizens immediately before the start of maternity or child care leave in order to receive social privileges.

6. Double child care benefits for Chernobyl survivors have been abolished, and fixed payments have been established instead of benefits.

7. From 07/01/2016, individuals must apply for a monthly payment to the social security authorities at their place of residence or place of work (previously the benefit was assigned by the employer).

Responsibilities of employers

Until July 1, 2016, the employer’s responsibilities included (clause 6, 7, part 1, article 18 of the Law of the Russian Federation of May 15, 1991 No. 1244-1 “On the social protection of citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant”, hereinafter referred to as Law No. 1244-1):

  • provide extended prenatal leave for pregnancy and childbirth lasting 90 calendar days;
  • pay double the monthly child care allowance until the child reaches the age of three.
Such guarantees were received by citizens who permanently reside (work):
  • in the resettlement zone before their relocation to other areas;
  • on the territory of the residence zone with the right to resettle (except for prenatal leave of longer duration);
  • in the area of ​​residence with preferential socio-economic status.
The list of these zones was approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated October 8, 2015 No. 1074 (hereinafter referred to as the List).

The length of residence in such areas did not previously matter for the provision of social guarantees.

The amendments stipulate that citizens who permanently reside (work) in contaminated areas for a certain time immediately before the appointment of maternity leave or child care benefits are entitled to the listed social support measures (Clause 1, Article 2 of Law No. 388 -FZ).

The period of residence (work) of citizens must be in the zone:

  • resettlement - at least 1 year;
  • residence with the right to move out - at least 3 years;
  • residence with preferential socio-economic status - at least 4 years.
The list of settlements included in such zones, in accordance with Part 3 of Article 7 of Law No. 1244-1, is revised by the Government of the Russian Federation at least once every five years. In connection with this amendment, a special algorithm is provided for calculating the time of residence (work) in these areas in the event of a revision of their boundaries. This calculation implies that each year of residence (work) in a residential area with:
  • preferential socio-economic status is considered for 3 months of living (working) in the resettlement zone;
  • the right to resettlement is considered for 4 months of residence (work) in the resettlement zone;
  • preferential socio-economic status is considered for 9 months of residence (work) in the residence zone with the right to resettlement.
Such conditions were introduced to stop the practice of registering citizens immediately before the start of maternity or child care leave in order to obtain these privileges.

Another important innovation is the abolition of double child care benefits for children under three years of age. Employers calculated this benefit based on the average earnings of the insured person for the billing period. The rules for its provision are approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 16, 2005 No. 439 (hereinafter referred to as Rules No. 439).

Law No. 388-FZ, instead of the specified benefit, establishes a monthly payment in a fixed amount (clause 2 of Article 2 of Law No. 388-FZ):

  • until the child reaches the age of one and a half years - in the amount of 3,000 rubles;
  • for a child aged from one and a half to three years - in the amount of 6,000 rubles;
As noted above, the employer was required to provide a double monthly benefit to working citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (clause 5 of Rules No. 439).

From 07/01/2016, individuals must apply for monthly payments to the social security authorities at their place of residence or place of work.

Accordingly, employers no longer have to create lists with information about the insured person (who is assigned a double benefit), his child, and the amount of his care allowance. Let us recall that in accordance with paragraph 7-7.1 of Rules No. 439, such lists of organizations were submitted to the social protection authorities every month.

At the moment, no changes have been made to the current Rules No. 439 to abolish this obligation. However, we believe that this will be implemented in the near future.

Transitional provisions

Changes in the procedure for providing extended prenatal leave and assigning monthly payments for child care came into force on July 1, 2016 (Article 2, Part 2, Article 9 of Law No. 388-FZ).

At the same time, Law No. 388-FZ provides for the following transitional provisions for the implementation of the amendments (Parts 1, 2, Article 8 of Law No. 388-FZ).

If maternity leave and (or) leave to care for a child under three years of age began before June 30, 2016 (inclusive), then the previous provisions of Law No. 1244-1 apply, namely:

  • the employer provides and pays for extended prenatal leave regardless of the length of stay (work) of the employee in the territory of the relevant locality included in the List of populated areas located within the boundaries of radioactive contamination zones;
  • A child care allowance of double size (based on average earnings) is assigned and paid by the employer until the child reaches the age of three.
If the mentioned holidays begin on 07/01/2016 or later, the new rules apply:
  • the employer provides extended prenatal leave to the employee, provided that she permanently resides (works) in the territory of a particular zone during the period established by Article 4 of Law No. 1244-1 as amended;
  • Child care benefits are assigned according to general rules.
Until the child reaches the age of one and a half years, the employer monthly transfers a benefit calculated on the basis of 40 percent of the employee’s average earnings, and a compensation payment in the amount of 50 rubles (Article 15 of the Federal Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ, Presidential Decree of May 30, 1994 No. 1110 ).

During the period from one and a half to three years, the employer pays only monthly compensation - 50 rubles.

In the 1C:Enterprise 8 accounting programs, changes related to the procedure for calculating child benefits for citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster have been implemented. For deadlines, see “Monitoring changes in legislation.”

The procedure for receiving child benefits instead of double benefits

The rules for providing this payment were approved by the Government of the Russian Federation by Resolution No. 588 dated June 28, 2016 (hereinafter referred to as Rules No. 588).

According to paragraph 7 of Rule No. 588, for a monthly payment in a fixed amount (3,000 rubles and 6,000 rubles), individuals must contact the social security authorities at their place of residence or place of work. If a citizen simultaneously lives and works in the territory of a radioactive contamination zone (their list is approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 8, 2015 No. 1074), then the application is submitted to the social protection authority at the place of residence. The documents required for submission are named in paragraphs 8-11 of Rules No. 588. Among them (for working citizens) is a certified copy of the work book or employment contract, as well as a certificate from the employer indicating his location.

Within 10 working days from the moment an individual submits all the necessary documents, the social security authority must make a decision on the assignment of a payment (clause 14 of Rules No. 588).

Citizens are required to notify the social security authority about the following events within a month (clause 17 of Rules No. 588):

  • death of a child before reaching three years of age;
  • relocation of an individual or child to a new place of residence outside the pollution zones;
  • dismissal from an organization located on the territory of a contamination zone, or change of location of the organization - moving to a new location outside the radioactive zone;
  • change of place of residence or place of work within radioactive contamination zones. An application for suspension of payment is submitted to the social security authority at the previous place of residence (work), and an application for its resumption is submitted to the social security authority at the new place of residence (work) (clause 16 of Rules No. 588).
Application forms are not provided in Regulation No. 588. We believe that before the forms are approved, they can be drawn up in any form or based on samples provided by the social security authority at the place of application for payment.

From May 1, disabled people, families with disabled children, and citizens affected by radiation will again be provided with a 50 percent discount on the entire volume of utility services consumed.

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.

The issue of practical measures to implement the party's initiative was considered by the Presidium. 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.

Previously, 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 the 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 that disabled people and families raising disabled children should 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 submitted to the Moscow City Duma a bill “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 defines 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. Citizens living in the old territory of the city will be provided with benefits in payment of 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 the excess funds were also spent on paying for other utilities (heat, hot and cold water, etc.), 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?

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.

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.

Disabled people;

families with disabled children;

citizens affected by radiation.

Payments to Chernobyl victims are provided in our country for certain categories of citizens. They can be received by people who were involved in the liquidation of the accident that occurred in 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and as a result received radiation sickness.

This category of citizens also includes those who have suffered illness and received a certain degree of disability due to radiation exposure. Also, on January 1, 2016, a law was adopted that allows citizens living in places with high pollution to receive such benefits.

All those employees of the Soviet army, as well as citizens liable for military service who were involved in eliminating the consequences of the accident, today have the right to receive special social payments. Today they have also been supplemented by employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, who already in modern Russia work in various zones hazardous to health.

In addition, the population that was removed from such contaminated areas is also entitled to monetary compensation. At the same time, medical personnel working in an area of ​​increased background radiation are also paid benefits.

For health

In the event that an officially recognized Chernobyl survivor is registered as unemployed, he is paid 100% of the average salary.

People who were involved in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident, like all other categories of citizens, have the right to receive certain additional social assistance, which usually comes in the form of monetary compensation. Here it is worth considering what payments they can receive.

It is important to know: even donors who donated their bone marrow for liquidators and people evacuated due to the accident are legally considered to be persons entitled to receive Chernobyl benefits from the state.

Thus, according to the legislation of our country, the state is obliged to make additional payments to citizens if, after being transferred to a new place of work due to poor medical conditions associated with the liquidation of an accident, they begin to receive a lower salary.

In this case, the person will receive additional payments until his ability to work is fully restored, or he registers a disability for which he will continue to receive payments.

If, due to health reasons, a citizen has completely lost his ability to work for a certain period of time, he has the right to receive a full refund of his former earnings.

For ordinary Chernobyl victims, as well as their children, the law provides for payments of only 300 rubles, which should be used to buy food.

In case of disability, citizens receive larger amounts:

  • in case of disability of the 1st group, payments of 5 thousand rubles are due;
  • if disability is group 2, then 3 thousand rubles;
  • in case of the mildest degree of disability – 1 thousand rubles.

It is worth noting: monetary compensation for disability is paid as compensation for harm to health, while having an unlimited period of payment, that is, funds are received on an ongoing basis.

Additional programs

Most benefits today are regulated by the law adopted on May 15, 1991.

Here it is worth mentioning first of all about payments to widows of Chernobyl victims.

According to the law, the state compensates for half of all utilities in their apartment.

As for children or grandchildren of disabled age who were dependent on a deceased participant in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident, they have the right to receive a one-time payment and a certain monthly allowance.

But the size of the latter already depends on the number of family members of the deceased, and what disability group he had.

For citizens who were evacuated from the exclusion zone, it is possible to receive compensation for material damage due to the loss of property, such as:

  • any residential premises, household premises. buildings, as well as dachas, owned by a person at the beginning of 1994;
  • various things, animals, gardens, plantings and crops.

Not so long ago, a one-time allowance of 500 rubles per person in the family who left the exclusion zone began to be paid to affected people for lost property in connection with the move, and travel was also fully compensated, and every year 100 rubles were paid for health improvement.

In addition, if a Chernobyl survivor goes on maternity leave, she should receive payments twice as much as ordinary citizens.

In addition, Chernobyl victims also have the right to a number of benefits. So, by law they have additional paid leave, in addition to the main one, for a period of 2 weeks. This also applies to their children born before the accident, but their leave depends on how old they were at the time of the accident.

How to get

In total, almost 520 million rubles were allocated from the country’s budget for the payment of benefits and compensation in 2016.

To apply for a subsidy, a person who has received the official status of a Chernobyl survivor, regardless of whether he is a liquidator or a citizen who was evacuated, must come to a social service that provides support to the population.

There he will need to fill out an application in the appropriate form, asking for compensation to be assigned to him. You can make an appeal at any time, regardless of how much time has passed since the accident, since assistance to victims is provided without a statute of limitations.

To do this, you will need to have identification documents and the right to receive such benefits.

The complete list of documents will look like this:

  1. The application for compensation itself.
  2. A photocopy of a certificate confirming the right to receive this benefit.
  3. If you move, you must also provide a copy of the re-registration document.
  4. If the applicant has a disability status, then certificates of family composition are also attached.
  5. If there are children under 14 years of age, photocopies of their birth certificates are provided.
  6. A copy of the work record book (only the title page + last place of work is possible).
  7. Certificate of disability, which clearly indicates the connection with the Chernobyl accident.

Please note: if a citizen has previously received financial assistance, this must also be reported by providing a supporting certificate.
