In recent years, our state is finally beginning to remember its citizens and even take care. The housing issue is especially acute in our time, real estate prices have grown at least 10 times over the past 20 years, for many families there is no way to earn or save up for their own housing, so various state housing programs and housing subsidies that allow Russians to become owners of your own apartment. Families of servicemen have been in exactly the same unflattering situation since the 1990s.
Perhaps many have heard and know how officers and contractors have been waiting for apartments from the army for years, how much nerve and effort was wasted, and what a joy it was to get a happy, albeit small, but apartment upon dismissal from. But, over the past few years, the situation has begun to change dramatically - a state program has been launched to provide subsidies for the purchase of housing for military personnel. Let's figure out what it is, what are the conditions for obtaining such a subsidy, terms, nuances and pitfalls, who is entitled to what, who is entitled to additional square meters, and so on.
The procedure and rules for state housing subsidies for military personnel have been significantly simplified in recent years. If the military who previously stood in line for housing were provided with housing only in houses built by order of the Ministry of Defense (as a rule, these were new buildings, in not the most convenient places, which entailed the need to spend an impressive amount of time to get from home to the duty station) , but now military personnel do not receive apartments themselves, but certain amounts in the form of housing subsidies and choose for themselves which housing to spend them on.
A serviceman's family in need of housing is provided with a subsidy in the amount that will allow them to purchase high-quality, comfortable housing directly in the area where an officer or contract soldier is serving. The serviceman himself has the right to choose the type of housing for himself and his family, as well as the location of the apartment, street, district, and even city. At the same time, according to the new rules, you can buy housing on the secondary market, and not only in new buildings, so that the purchased housing can be much larger in size, more convenient in location, have a profitable infrastructure and be more attractive in other respects.
Most military personnel are concerned about the main question: what will be the amount of payment for this housing subsidy? First of all, it directly depends on the number of family members and length of service in the military, and the exact amount is determined by the established formula. The amount of subsidies is determined by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation N 76 “On Approval of the Rules for Calculating Subsidies for the Acquisition or Construction of Residential Premises (Residential Premises) Provided to Military Personnel - Citizens of the Russian Federation and Other Persons in accordance with the Federal Law “On the Status of Military Personnel”, it also spells out Standards for the area of housing required for a family:
When calculating the amount of a subsidy for the purchase of housing for military personnel, the average market value of 1 square meter is used, which is approved for 2019 and amounts to 43,374 (forty-three thousand three hundred and seventy-four) rubles per 1 m2.
There are standards for the cost of housing in Moscow, St. regions - 41,220 rubles, in Sakhalin the standard price per square meter is 69,467 rubles, in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (63,535) and Yamalo-Nenets (59,154 rubles) autonomous regions, in Yakutia 58,420 rubles per square meter.
In addition, in calculating the amount of the subsidy, a correction factor is used, which is determined based on the length of service of the serviceman:
Starting from the 21st year of military service, the correction factor (2.45) increases by 0.075 for each year of military service over 21 calendar years, up to and including 2.75 (2.75 is the maximum value of the correction factor).
As a result, housing subsidy payments to military personnel are quite good amounts that will actually allow a military family to purchase housing (a flat, house or cottage). The size of subsidies for the purchase of housing for military personnel can range from 2 to 11 million rubles on average, providing opportunities to purchase living space in almost any region of Russia, including large cities, including Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Officer of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, served in the army for 20 years, married, has a family (wife and three children). We begin to count: the amount of the housing subsidy \u003d 5x18 (18 square meters of living space for each family member) x 43,374 rubles (standard average market value of 1 square meter for 2019) x 2.375 (adjustment factor for length of service) \u003d 9,271,192.5 rubles.
As you can see, the amount of the housing subsidy is really worthy, for that kind of money you can buy an apartment in almost any city in Russia! To independently calculate the amount of the subsidy, you can use calculator for calculating subsidies for the purchase or construction of a dwelling servicemen http://mil.ru/files/files/calc/.
It is important to take into account those nuances in which it is possible to significantly reduce the amount of payment for housing subsidies to the military. If an apartment / house / cottage was previously purchased by a serviceman and this housing is owned by him (it does not matter whether it is on the territory of the Russian Federation or abroad), then at least he will be entitled to a housing subsidy, but the calculation of the footage will be carried out minus the already existing living space.
We have sorted out the ownership of housing, its size will be deducted from the estimated amount of the subsidy, but what will happen if the serviceman lives under a social lease agreement? Exactly the same deduction will be made here, and the area of subsidized housing will also be smaller. Therefore, in the case of social hiring, a serviceman has the right to refuse such housing by submitting a written application to terminate the social lease agreement and transfer the current non-privatized housing to the owner (as a rule, these are municipal authorities). After that, he gets the right to 100% of the subsidy, he will be able to receive the entire amount and buy a home already in his property!
Questions often arise about what happens to the housing subsidy if both spouses are in the military? In this case, due subsidy payments are not cumulative! By law, it is allowed to apply for a subsidy to that family member, thanks to which the provided living space will look more attractive. For example, this is possible due to the greater length of service of one of the spouses or the additional 15 square meters assigned to him for certain reasons.
Russian legislation provides for a type of deferral for receiving a housing subsidy. That is, if desired, a soldier who is entitled to this subsidy may not apply for it immediately, increasing his length of service and, accordingly, thereby increasing the number of square meters of living space assigned to him in the future. Naturally, this is an attractive factor for those families who do not spend large sums on living in rented housing, otherwise the benefits of delaying obtaining a housing subsidy will be doubtful.
There are certain categories of military personnel who may be entitled to an additional 15 square meters of living space. According to the above Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of N 76, as well as in accordance with Article 15.1. “The norm for the provision of living space. The total area of the dwelling" of the Federal Law N 76-FZ "On the status of military personnel", such rights are defined for the following categories of military personnel:
A serviceman with the military rank of colonel, equal to or higher, who is serving in the military or dismissed from military service upon reaching the age limit for military service, for health reasons or in connection with organizational and staffing activities, the commander of a military unit, a serviceman who has an honorary title of the Russian Federation, a serviceman is a teacher of a military professional educational organization or a military educational organization of higher education, a military department at a state educational organization of higher education, a serviceman is a research worker with an academic degree and (or) academic title, when they are provided with living quarters, including including office accommodation, have the right to additional total living area in the range of 15 to 25 square meters.
It is planned that from 2023, the construction of service housing by order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will be almost completely stopped and the military mortgage will become the main tool for providing military personnel with housing, that is, military personnel serving under a contract will be provided with housing under state military mortgage lending programs.
In accordance with modern legislation, military personnel have a special status that allows them to receive free housing on a preferential basis. This possibility depends not only on the existence of a valid contract with the RF Ministry of Defense, but also on a number of other factors. In the material presented, you can find out who is entitled to UDV for the purchase of housing, and how to get UDV for a soldier.
Who can get a housing allowance? Until 2004, the country had a well-established procedure for providing housing to needy individuals and their families upon dismissal from military service. The Ministry of Defense entered into contracts with construction organizations for the construction of houses, or bought ready-made apartments in new buildings.
The situation changed in 2006. It was decided to completely modernize the existing system. The main idea was to provide UDV to military personnel for the purchase of housing instead of direct living quarters. For more than 5 years, military personnel were issued certificates for EDV in parallel with ready-made housing.
In 2013, the allocation of ready-made housing was completely abolished, and only the unified income for military personnel remained, about which, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, amendments were made to the Federal Law “On the Status of Military Personnel”. The main idea was to provide housing to the military on a permanent basis instead of directly living quarters.
The following categories of persons can submit documents for obtaining a EDV to a serviceman:
Since 2016, only citizens who have registered no later than January 1, 2005, when the Housing Code of the Russian Federation was enacted, have the right to receive a UDV.
In view of such a restriction, since 2016, by decision of the Government of the Russian Federation, the EDV was frozen for military personnel who registered later than the specified period. They will be able to get housing only under the military mortgage program.
Instructions for the payment of UDV for the purchase of housing are approved by the Federal Law “On the Status of Military Personnel” dated May 27, 1998 No. 76-FZ, by Order of the Ministry of Defense dated July 21, 2014 No. 510, as well as Decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation dated February 03, 2014 No. 76 and dated October 24, 2013 No. 942. The first step in exercising the right to EVD will be to place people in need of better living conditions on a waiting list.
The queue for receiving the EDV of a serviceman is formed based on the date of submission of the application. You can track your turn to receive a housing allowance for the purchase of housing in the unified register of housing for military personnel. The maintenance of such a register began in 2010 by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
In the general queue for the provision of certificates, there are categories of citizens who are entitled to the priority receipt of the EDV for an apartment for the military:
Important! A housing certificate can be spent on buying an apartment in a new building or on the secondary housing market, paying off a mortgage, or building a house. Importantly, a serviceman can do this in any region of Russia of his choice.
According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 76, benefits for receiving UDV for residential premises by the military are:
If these persons submit documents for housing allowance for military personnel, they may apply for payment of an additional 15-25 sq.m. housing.
Does a divorce affect military personnel for receiving EVD? If military personnel are presented with documents for obtaining a EVD without taking into account other family members (for example, when divorce), the calculation of the payout amount will be significantly reduced. In this case, the standard for one soldier will be used - 33 sq.m.
Is the EDV paid for housing to military personnel, if, according to Rosreestr he had real estate? If the documents for the receipt of the UDV for military personnel contain information on the ownership of other residential premises, the standard when calculating the payment will be reduced by the area of the existing real estate.
The current housing program provides not only children's right for part of the UDV of military personnel for the purchase of housing, but also a significant increase in the size of the payment. For example, for a family of three, the maximum payment will be tripled.
Payment of EDV for the purchase of an apartment involves the following algorithm of actions:
Queuing is carried out in the executive authority of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation at the place of military service. A decision on an application for registration must be made within 30 days.
After the serviceman's family is registered, he enters the queue of those in need. Upon reaching the required queue, the documents are submitted to the Housing Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation - an application and a bank account agreement are submitted.
An exhaustive list of documents for obtaining a UDV by military personnel is approved by Order of the Minister of Defense No. 510. The application must be signed by all adult family members of a military serviceman.
According to the new rules, the amount of the UDV payment for housing for military personnel in 2017 depends on:
If the family lives in their own apartment, but its footage is lower than that established by housing legislation and the family is recognized as needy, then the amount of the UDV for the purchase of real estate by the military will be equal to the amount for which you can purchase the “missing” meters.
Options for improving housing conditions are chosen by the serviceman himself, however, he is obliged to report on the acquisition of housing within a period not later than 30 days after registration of ownership.
As soon as the full list of documents for obtaining the UST for housing for military personnel is received by the Department of Housing of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, a ten-day period begins for making a decision on payment. If a positive decision is made, it is subject to execution by the Department of Financial Support of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation at the expense of the Federal Treasury.
Important! In order to receive the EDU next year, you must apply no later than April 1 of the current year. This is due to the need to plan federal budget funds.
Data for EDV for housing can be transmitted through the military registration and enlistment office at the place of service of the applicant for payment. Military commissariats are the authorized body of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, including when resolving housing issues for military personnel and those transferred to the reserve.
Housing for discharged servicemen should be provided no later than the day they are discharged from military service, although they can purchase an apartment after they have been discharged from the ranks of the RF Armed Forces.
What does it take to get a EDV for military personnel? In order to receive a EDV for an apartment for military personnel, the following package of documents should be collected and submitted to the appropriate department of the Ministry of Defense:
Getting an apartment under the EDV is a complex process with a number of nuances and pitfalls. In this regard, we recommend that you seek the help of qualified lawyers when buying a home with the involvement of such funds.
A similar procedure for improving housing conditions contains a provision for obtaining EDV by military personnel in the Federal Penitentiary Service. However, in this structure, the payment is issued in the form of a certificate, and persons who have served for at least 10 years and are dismissed from service for health reasons or organizational and staff events are entitled to receive it.

Creating suitable living conditions for the military is part of the state policy. The traditional queue for an apartment has been replaced by new forms of social support – subsidies and mortgages. In these cases, the needy person has the opportunity to receive partial or full payment for housing at the expense of the state.
A special state subsidy provides military personnel with the opportunity to purchase not only a new or second-hand apartment, but also a private house, a building plot, etc. The allocation of funds from the federal budget is targeted and carried out in a non-cash way. This means that the subsidy received can only be used for the purchase (or partial payment of the cost) of housing.
Subsidizing housing for military personnel is similar in nature (creating financial conditions for better housing conditions) to mortgages, but there are differences between them. The difference is as follows:
According to the current legislation, the housing subsidy is designed for citizens of the Russian Federation, employees under the contract, or dismissed from the ranks of the Armed Forces. In this case, the recipient of the grant must:
The current legislation considers the issue of subsidizing housing conditions for servicemen from different angles. The main legislative documents on this issue are:
The set of circumstances under which a serviceman can qualify for housing subsidies are given in Law No. 76-FZ. This includes persons:
A separate category is made up of widows of soldiers who died in the line of duty. By law, the right to receive a military subsidy for housing also applies to them, moreover, taking into account the share of the deceased spouse. At the same time, the wife of the deceased should not own real estate or own living space smaller than the established standards.
Registration of state assistance for the purchase of housing implies the recognition of a person in need of improved living conditions. The general procedure for financing the military is fixed by Law No. 76-FZ and Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 512. The provision of budget funds is as follows:
The package of documents that is submitted to the Regional Office (department) includes:
Taking into account all the ongoing procedures and checks, with a positive decision to allocate a subsidy, the applicant must receive a certificate 30 days after submitting all documents to the Regional Office (department). The specified period is the maximum allowed by law, in practice the issue is resolved faster - in 2-3 weeks.
Special formulas allow you to calculate the amount of housing subsidy. Knowing the value of individual parameters, a serviceman can independently make calculations and find out how much subsidy he can be given. The calculation is carried out according to the formula RVS \u003d NZHP x SCM x KVL, where:
The Government of the Russian Federation approved the norms for the provision of housing for military personnel. They vary depending on the size of the military family, and can be raised or lowered for individual situations. The table shows the value of the basic standard:
Law No. 76-FZ provides for an increase in the standard by 15 square meters. This additional area is provided:
The current legislation also allows for a reduction in the norms for the provision of living space. This is possible in the following cases:
The price per square meter of living space used in the calculations is annually determined by the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation. These figures vary across regions of our country. The table shows the base value of the average market value of living space in certain regions of Russia for 2019:
The duration of service directly affects the amount of the allocated subsidy. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 76 provides special correction factors that regulate the total amount depending on the length of service. Knowing the required values, it is possible to calculate the housing subsidy for military personnel using the above formula. The table shows the value of the correction factor for different lengths of service and the amount of benefits that a military family from the Moscow Region can claim in 2019.

Therefore, they serve for the good of the Motherland, worrying about its peace. Thus, she must take care of her subordinates. The classic option, the acquisition of living space on credit (mortgage).
But we all perfectly understand how significant this duty will be, which falls not only on the shoulders of a soldier, but also on his entire family, fettering life in movements and enjoyment. Another thing is when there is state support as a housing subsidy to a military citizen.
What is a military subsidy? Simply put, this is a program to help military citizens (servicemen), provided as a quick solution to the housing issue.
At the same time, it becomes much easier for the military to buy housing. The Government of the Russian Federation has developed regulations, according to which it is possible to allocate certain funds (at a rate) for those in need of military in decent housing.
This money can be used for the following purposes:
The housing subsidy for the military is a lump sum, which means that the payment is made once in full. We can say that it is like an alternative to the usual queue for housing.
In order to require such assistance from the state, the employee must meet the conditions of the definition and be registered as in dire need of new housing
This regulation is prescribed in the Federal Legislation of the Russian Federation No. 76-FZ and Art. No. 51 ZhK RF.
In order for you to be recognized as the need to provide a housing subsidy, you will need to visit the relevant executive authority with a package of documents. The decision is made within a month (no more than 30 days).
Consider the package of required documents:
It takes an average of 20 to 30 days to process a submitted application.
The provision of a housing subsidy is regulated by Russian law. What legal decrees and decrees establish the rules for granting benefits to servicemen:
It is necessary to follow the established procedure in order to receive the expected funds and acquire the long-awaited square meters.
First of all, the military must submit a report (statement) indicating the desire to receive, the reason and purpose of use.
Then, in order of priority, do the following:
It does not matter in which market the purchase will be made - in the primary or secondary, the main thing is that everything suits the serviceman and his family.
A clear understanding and observance of the required conditions is prescribed in the decree of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation No. 510 and Art. 15 RF "On the status of military personnel".
What is meant:
The document is referred to as the "Application for the transfer of housing subsidies." In its content, the applicant himself writes:
To calculate the required subsidy to a military citizen, regardless of the type of housing acquisition (building a new one or buying a finished one), three influencing factors are taken into account:
The prescribed size of living space per military man is 33 square meters. m., according to the regulations of the Russian government.
If members of his family are taken into account, then the area increases in values:
All terms regarding the payment of housing subsidies to military personnel in 2019 are prescribed by the legislation of the Russian Federation:
After submitting an application for consideration from a serviceman, the military authorities check the availability of residential property with him, as well as all family members | Processing time takes about 10 days |
Over the next 10 days | After receiving a response on the application of the military, a final decision will be made |
Over the next 3 days | The final decision is redirected to the financial security department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation |
A copy of the result of the decision is provided to the employee | Even if he is retired, family members in 3 days |
Maximum term for transferring funds | May not exceed 30 days |
After receiving money from the military | Within 3 days fin. the authority will inform the housing authority about the operation |
It is important that a refusal can be received for only one reason - a serviceman is not worth it or deregistered as needing to provide subsidies for purchased housing.
Those military citizens who meet the following parameters can receive benefits:
Not only military servicemen themselves, but also members of his family can apply for housing. This right also applies to the widows of soldiers.
