In recent years, our state has finally begun to remember its citizens and even show concern. The housing issue is especially acute in our time, real estate prices have increased at least 10 times over the past 20 years, for many families there is no way to earn money or save up for their own housing, so various government housing programs and subsidies for the purchase of housing, allowing Russians to become the owners of your own apartment. Families of military personnel have been in exactly the same unpleasant situation since the 90s.

Perhaps many have heard and know how officers and contract soldiers waited for years for apartments from the army, how much nerves and effort were spent, and what a joy it was to happily receive an apartment, albeit small, upon leaving. But over the past few years, the situation has begun to change dramatically - a state program has begun to provide subsidies for the purchase of housing for military personnel. Let's figure out what it is, what are the conditions for receiving such a subsidy, terms, nuances and pitfalls, who gets how much, who has the right to additional square meters, etc.

What is a subsidy for military personnel for the purchase of housing?

The procedure and rules for state housing subsidies for military personnel have been significantly simplified in recent years. If military personnel who had previously been on the waiting list for housing were given ownership of living space 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 considerable time getting from home to the place of duty) , now military personnel do not receive apartments themselves, but certain amounts in the form of housing subsidies and they themselves choose which housing to spend it 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 the 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 just in new buildings, thanks to which the purchased housing can be much larger in square footage, more convenient in location, have favorable infrastructure and are more attractive in other respects.

What is the size of the subsidy for the purchase of housing for military personnel?

Most military personnel are concerned about the main question: what will be the payment amount for this housing subsidy? First of all, it directly depends on the number of family members and the length of service of the military man, and the exact amount is determined by an 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 (living 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 stipulates Standards for the required housing area for a family:

• 33 sq. meters for military personnel living alone,
• 42 sq. meters - for married couples,
• 18 m for each family member in those families consisting of 3 people or more.

When calculating the size of the subsidy for the purchase of housing for military personnel, the standard of the average market value of 1 square meter is used, which was approved for 2019 and amounts to 43,374 (forty-three thousand three hundred seventy-four) rubles per 1 m2.

There are standards for the cost of housing in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other subjects of the federation, for example for Moscow this figure is 91,670 rubles for 2019, and for the Moscow region 61,040 rubles, in St. Petersburg the cost per square meter is 71,053 rubles, in the Leningrad region region - 41,220 rubles, on 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 Okrug, in Yakutia 58,420 rubles per square meter.

In addition, when calculating the amount of the subsidy, a correction factor is used, which is determined based on the length of service of the serviceman:

• from 10 years to 16 years of military service - 1.85;
• from 16 years to 20 years of military service - 2.25;
• from 20 years to 21 years of military service - 2,375.

Starting from the 21st year of service of a serviceman, the correction factor (2.45) increases by 0.075 for each year of military service over 21 calendar years - up to 2.75 inclusive (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 (an apartment, a house or a cottage). The size of the subsidy 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.

An example of calculating the amount of a subsidy for the purchase of housing for military personnel:

Officer of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, served in the army for 20 years, married, has a family (wife and three children). Let's start counting: the size of the housing subsidy = 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) = 9,271,192.5 rubles.

As you can see, the amount of housing subsidy is really worthy; for that kind of money you can buy an apartment in almost any city in Russia! To calculate the amount of the subsidy yourself, you can use calculator for calculating subsidies for the purchase or construction of residential premises military personnel http://mil.ru/files/files/calc/.

The nuances of subsidies for the purchase of housing for military personnel

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 a serviceman previously purchased an apartment/house/cottage and this housing is his property (no matter whether it is on the territory of the Russian Federation or abroad), then although he will be entitled to a housing subsidy, the calculation of the footage will be carried out minus the existing living space.

We've sorted out the ownership of housing, its size will be deducted from the estimated subsidy amount, but what happens if a serviceman lives under a social tenancy agreement? Here exactly the same deduction will be made, and the area of ​​subsidized housing will also be smaller. Therefore, in the case of social rent, a serviceman has the right to refuse such housing by submitting a written application to terminate the social rent agreement and transfer the current non-privatized housing to the owner (usually municipal authorities). After which he becomes entitled to 100% of the subsidy, will be able to receive the full amount and buy his own home!

Questions often arise about what will happen to the housing subsidy if both spouses are military personnel? In this case, due Subsidy payments are not cumulative! The law allows a family member to apply for a subsidy, thanks to whom 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 allocated to him for certain reasons.

Russian legislation provides for a type of deferment for receiving a housing subsidy. That is, if desired, the serviceman who is entitled to this subsidy may not apply for it immediately, increasing his length of service and, accordingly, increasing the number of square meters of living space allotted to him in the future. Naturally, this is a factor that is attractive to those families who do not spend large sums on living in rented housing, otherwise the benefits of delaying receiving a housing subsidy will be questionable.

Who is entitled to an additional 15 square meters?

There are certain categories of military personnel who may be entitled to an additional 15 square meters of living space. In accordance with the above Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated No. 76, as well as in accordance with Article 15.1. “The standard for providing living space. The total area of ​​living quarters" of Federal Law N 76-FZ "On the Status of Military Personnel", such rights are defined for the following categories of military personnel:

• Commanders of military units;
• Military personnel with an honorary title of the Russian Federation
• Teachers of military universities (military departments at civilian universities);
• Employees of military scientific institutions with scientific degrees;
• Colonels, generals, marshals.

A military personnel with the military rank of colonel, equal or higher, undergoing military service or dismissed from military service upon reaching the age limit for military service, for health reasons or in connection with organizational and staffing events, the commander of a military unit, a military personnel with an honorary rank of the Russian Federation, a military man - 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 military man - a scientific worker with an academic degree and (or) academic title, when provided with living quarters, including including official residential premises, have the right to additional total living area ranging from 15 to 25 square meters.

It is planned that from 2023, the construction of official housing commissioned by the Russian Ministry of Defense will be almost completely stopped and the main tool for providing military personnel with housing will be a military mortgage, that is, military personnel serving under a contract will be provided with housing under government military mortgage lending programs.

In recent years, the procedure and rules for state housing subsidies for military personnel have been significantly simplified. Previously, military personnel who were on the waiting list for housing were provided with ownership of living space only in those houses that were built by order of the Ministry of Defense, but now military personnel receive certain amounts in the form of housing subsidies and choose for themselves what housing to spend it on.

Russian legislation provides for a type of deferment for receiving a housing subsidy. A serviceman may not apply for it immediately, increasing his length of service and, accordingly, increasing the number of square meters of living space allotted to him in the future. Of course, this factor is attractive for those families who do not spend large sums on living in rented housing, otherwise the benefits of delaying receiving a housing subsidy will be questionable.

Housing subsidies for military personnel for housing

Housing subsidies are one of the ways of economic and financial support for military personnel, which are provided in cash.

• has the right to purchase residential premises on any territory of the Russian Federation, having a certificate for receiving a housing subsidy;
• can buy housing larger in area than required, since the size of the military subsidy for housing often exceeds the market value of the residential premises;
• independently determines the quality of the future residential premises;
• has the opportunity to use maternity capital if there are not enough financial resources to purchase housing.

How to get a housing subsidy for a military personnel

According to the law, the following categories of military personnel are entitled to receive housing subsidies:

• those who entered into a contract before 01/01/1998 (exception: cadets of military educational organizations) and members of their families recognized as in need of improved living conditions;
• those dismissed from military service (upon reaching the age limit, for health reasons or due to staff reductions), who managed to serve 10 years or more, and members of their families, subject to the need to improve their living conditions;
• military personnel who served 20 years and were provided with official housing;
• dismissed after service (minimum 10 years) for health reasons or upon reaching the age limit, who were provided with official housing.

Subsidy payment amount

The size of the subsidy for the military is calculated individually by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, based on three factors:

• standard cost of one square meter of residential premises
• number of squares placed
• length of service of a soldier.

As a result of multiplying the above indicators, the total amount of the subsidy for the right to receive housing for the military is obtained.

The calculation of subsidies for military personnel for housing, first of all, depends on the standard cost of one square meter of housing in Russia. Moreover, it also provides for the calculation of subsidies for housing for military personnel who need housing above the established standard by 15-25 square meters in the following cases:

• for those with a rank higher than colonel (inclusive);
• when conducting scientific and teaching activities;
• when health conditions deteriorate, etc.

The military service record also plays a big role when calculating the certificate for receiving a housing subsidy. The longer the experience, the greater the correction factor: from 1.85 to 2.75.

There are standards for the cost of housing in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other subjects of the federation, for example for Moscow this figure is 90,400 rubles, and for the Moscow region 51,225 rubles, in St. Petersburg the cost per square meter is 58,112 rubles, in the Leningrad region - 41 220 rubles, in Sakhalin the standard price per square meter is 53,723 rubles, in the Republic of Crimea 29,000 rubles, and in Sevastopol - 30,000 rubles.

To make it more clear, let's look at an example:

Officer of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, served in the army for 20 years, married, has a family (wife and three children). Let's start counting: the size of the housing subsidy = 5x18 (18 square meters of living space for each family member) x 35,915 rubles (standard average market value of 1 square meter for 2015) x 2.375 (adjustment factor for length of service) = 7,676,831.25 rubles.

What documents are required?

List of required documents:

• passports of the applicant and all members of his family;
• certificate of marriage or divorce;
• birth certificate of the child(ren);
• an extract from the personal file on military service in federal executive authorities;
• a court decision to establish family ties with the applicant as citizens of the Russian Federation;

The package of documents is small and will not be difficult for you to collect.

general information

Subsidy calculation formula

Government Decree No. 76 clearly sets out the formula for calculating the amount of subsidies that the family of a serviceman under a contract can receive.

So, for the size of the final monetary amount, the decisive roles are played by:

• the standard cost of one square meter of residential premises in the Russian Federation, determined by the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation (St);
• standard of total housing area (Np);
• correction factor for military service life (K).

Subsidy amount formula: P=Np*St*K,

where P is the final amount of the subsidy.

At the same time, for each period of service under the contract, a correction factor is provided, which is taken into account when allocating funds to the serviceman and his family.

Correction factor

The amount for housing for military personnel can be increased due to an adjustment factor. The principle of its determination by the state is simple - the longer the service life, the greater the coefficient.

Clause 7 of the Rules for calculating subsidies for the acquisition or construction of residential premises (living 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”:

The correction factor is set as follows:

• from 10 years to 16 years of military service - 1.85;
• from 16 years to 20 years of military service - 2.25;
• from 20 years to 21 years of military service - 2,375.
• Starting at age 21, the adjustment factor (2.45) increases by 0.075 for each year of military service over 21 years, up to and including 2.75.

Those military personnel who have worked longer under a contract can count on a higher coefficient. And, therefore, for a large amount of subsidy.

Required documents

To obtain the status of someone in need of housing, you must submit the following documents:

• application of the established form;
• a copy of the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• copies of passports of all family members;
• copies of birth certificates of children under 14 years of age;
• a copy of the marriage or divorce certificate, if the marriage was concluded/divorced;
• copies of all documents that confirm the right to receive a subsidy for the purchase of residential premises (for example, an extract from Rosreestr about the absence of real estate in the property);
• copies of financial personal accounts of all military family members for the last 5 years;
• copies of extracts from house books at the place of residence for the last 5 years.

If it is impossible to provide copies of financial personal accounts or extracts from house books, you must attach to the application a document confirming the absence of such a possibility.

The application processing time is 30 working days.

The result is either recognition of the military man and his family as needing housing, or refusal to assign such status.

Procedure for obtaining subsidies

After a family or single serviceman has received the status of those in need of housing, it is necessary to send an application to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (housing department) to receive a subsidy for the purchase or construction of living quarters, or for improving existing living conditions.

In order for the funds to be paid by the state, you need to open a personal bank account, to which the cash assistance will be transferred.

In addition, it is necessary to conclude an agreement for the purchase of residential premises or its construction, and attach a copy of the agreement to the application.

The contract must include a clause on repayment of the entire cost of the apartment or house or part of this cost from the funds of the military certificate. Otherwise, the agreement may not be taken into account as a basis for receiving subsidies from the state.

According to established standards, the total period for transferring funds is 30 calendar days.

That is, during this time, the serviceman must receive a certificate for the purchase, construction or improvement of housing conditions in a bank account.

Features of purchasing an apartment or house using a certificate

Unlike family capital A military certificate is issued only to the military person who receives it.

In this case, registration of ownership of a house or apartment remains at the discretion of the recipient of the certificate: personal or shared.

The law establishes that if there are minor children, their interests must be taken into account. That is, the parent who receives the certificate registers shared ownership for himself and his children without fail.

Citizens who were dismissed from contract service, but had more than 10 years of service and did not receive housing, do not lose their right to receive financial assistance.

Citizens who, for other reasons, are considered a priority for receiving benefits and subsidies (for example, large families), like military personnel, also have a priority right to receive assistance from the state. Including to receive financial payments for the purchase of an apartment or house.

Applications from such families are considered first.

The idea of ​​giving money to the military instead of apartments is not new. As is known, over the past 15 years, along with the outdated practice of the Ministry of Defense, the construction and issuance of finished housing to military personnel has been used with varying degrees of success - state housing certificates.

But since 2014, the military department decided to abandon the construction and maintenance of housing stock, and at the same time close the issue of queues for housing. For this purpose, a fundamentally new program of housing subsidies for military personnel was developed. People called it “Shoigu’s apartment revolution.”

The size of the subsidy for a military personnel depends on length of service and family composition. Now the average amount of a new type of subsidy is quite enough, for example, to purchase an apartment in St. Petersburg or a cottage in the Leningrad region. It should be noted that with social benefits, a serviceman can purchase housing at his discretion in any region of the country.

Who is eligible to receive subsidies for military personnel?

The list of categories of citizens who can apply for subsidies for military personnel and their priority is regulated by Order of the Minister of Defense No. 510 of July 21, 2010 and.

The following citizens can become recipients of subsidies for military personnel:

• military personnel with at least 10 years of service;
• military personnel who do not own any housing, or who have residential premises with an area less than the standard.

The following categories of military personnel have priority rights to receive subsidies:

• those who entered into a contract before 1998 (except for cadets of military universities) and were recognized as in need of housing;
• those who have served more than 10 years and were dismissed from service upon reaching the age limit, due to health reasons or layoffs;
• those who served more than 20 years and received official housing;
• dismissed after 10 years of service, upon reaching the age limit, health conditions or layoffs, who are provided with official housing.

Procedure for providing a subsidy

To receive a subsidy for military personnel, you need to stand in a regional queue to improve your living conditions. Queuing is regulated by the Federal Law “On the Status of Military Personnel” No. 76-FZ as amended on July 13, 2015, Article 51 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and Government Decree No. 512 as amended on August 28, 2015.

The main regulatory act regulating the procedure for providing subsidies to military personnel is Order of the Minister of Defense No. 510 of July 21, 2010.

1. A military serviceman (including retired) or his family members must submit to the authorized body of the Ministry of Defense an agreement on opening a bank account and an application for the transfer of a subsidy. You also need to provide a package of documents confirming the composition of the family, the need to improve housing conditions, documents confirming the ownership of existing housing (if any), as well as extracts from house books for the last 5 years.
2. The Ministry of Defense sends a request to the Federal State Registration Service (Rosreestr) to obtain data from the Unified State Register (USRE) to confirm that the serviceman (or his family members) is eligible to receive a subsidy. Usually the response comes within 10 business days.
3. After receiving data from Rosreestr, the Ministry of Defense agency makes a decision on the payment of the subsidy. The law also allows no more than 10 days for this. A subsidy can only be refused if there are grounds for deregistering a serviceman as in need of housing or improved living conditions.
4. A positive decision is sent to the financial support department of the Ministry of Defense, from where the subsidy amount is transferred to the account specified in the serviceman’s application.

Subsidy calculation

The calculation of the subsidy amount is regulated by Decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 76 dated 02/03/2014 and No. 942 as amended on 01/29/2015. The subsidy for military personnel is calculated from the following components:

• required housing area;
• the standard cost of 1 sq.m of residential premises in the Russian Federation, determined once every 6 months by the Ministry of Construction of Russia;
• length of service coefficient (1.85 for 10-15 years of experience, if more than 15 years - the coefficient increases).

The housing area is calculated depending on the number of people in the serviceman’s family:

• for a serviceman without a family (single) - 33 sq.m;
• for a family of 2 people - 42 sq.m;
• for a family of 3 or more people - 18 sq.m. each.

An additional area of ​​15 sq.m is provided for officers with ranks of colonel (captain 1st rank) and above; teachers of military universities; commanders of military units; if you have an academic degree or honorary title of the Russian Federation.

If the serviceman’s family already has housing with an area less than the standard, then the amount of the subsidy is calculated based on the number of square meters that is not enough to meet the standard. For example, having an apartment of 40 square meters when the required 60 square meters, you can qualify for a subsidy in the amount of only 20 square meters - i.e. the difference between the available 40 sq.m. and the required 60 sq.m.

Possible problems when implementing housing subsidies for military personnel

An unprepared person usually faces a number of problems when implementing a subsidy. This matter has many nuances. Often, independent implementation of housing subsidies does not lead to anything good. For example, a long search for an apartment or incorrect paperwork may result in a bank refusal - in this case, the entire procedure will have to be completed again. If the implementation of subsidies is carried out by a person who has no experience in this type of activity and is far from the legal subtleties of the issue, this can lead not only to a loss of time, but also to a serious “getting stuck” of the process in the labyrinths of bureaucracy. Don't take risks! Getting a situation out of a dead end is always more difficult than getting there.
