Funeral benefits in Minsk: the process of obtaining, where to apply

Funeral services are an important part of social services and an inevitable part of every family's life. In Minsk, there are companies that provide funeral assistance. Citizens receive benefits—targeted cash payments that cover the cost of funeral ceremonies. These are quite substantial amounts, especially for those with limited financial resources.

How benefits are calculated

Benefits are calculated at the institution. They contact those authorities that correspond to the social category of the deceased. The topic is relevant for 6 months from the date of death, before the expiration of this period you need to submit an application and receive compensation. The benefit is given to the person who took upon himself the financial expenses for the funeral. If it is possible to organize a free funeral, then no benefit is issued.

Some categories of citizens receive larger benefits. For example, pensioners of investigative expert, law enforcement and regulatory agencies, military structures and the like. Payments are equal to the deceased’s wages for 1 month - the listed workers have higher pay than ordinary citizens. Disabled persons of the Great Patriotic War are entitled to a two-month pension benefit. If the calculations turn out to be less than the salary, then the usual payment is taken into account - the size of the average salary in the country.

What are the benefits, documentation?

The benefit amount is equal to the employee's average salary, but the month before the date of death is taken into account. For example, if the amount in March 2023 was 1684,9 rubles, then in February it was 1915,6 rubles. This means that the benefit amount varies. To receive it, the following documents are required:

• application;
• death certificate for funeral benefits (it is taken from the registry office with a stamp certificate);
• passport of the applicant (the one who is responsible for organizing the funeral).

If death is confirmed in another country, a death certificate issued there must be presented. If a child has died, then you need to provide a birth certificate, and for a student aged 18-23 years - a certificate of completion of training.

To apply for benefits, you need to contact the deceased’s place of work, if he was on the company’s staff, for those not working - to the Social Security Service (Sobes) or the executive committee. The last resort is for payments for stillbirths, deaths of prisoners and people without a fixed place of residence, for unidentified deceased.
