Social support

The State Duma adopted a law on increasing to 2 million rubles the insurance payment in case of death of an employee at work. Thus, payments upon the occurrence of an insured event will double.

Russian President Vladimir Putin (pictured) has signed a law on social support for widows/widowers of combat veterans. The document provides for the provision of social support regardless of the composition of the family in which they live. Benefits will be provided until the conclusion of a new marriage.
