Elena Gayvoronskaya, manager of the Social Fund branch in Sevastopol, on the goals of merging the PFR and the Social Insurance Fund

CrimeaPRESS reports:

Since January 1 of this year, the Social Fund has been launched in Russia, which combined the functions of the Pension Fund and the Social Insurance Fund. Elena Gayvoronskaya, manager of the Sevastopol branch of the Social Fund, spoke about the list of services provided, proactive information and the goals of uniting funds on the air. The broadcast took place in the official group of the Government in the VKontakte social network.

First of all, the merging of funds took place to improve the quality of work and the convenience of citizens: those who had to apply to two organizations at the same time to receive services can now do this by contacting the Social Fund. The procedure and rules for receiving public services have not changed, pensions and social support measures are paid on the same dates , — said Elena Gayvoronskaya.

She also spoke about proactive information, which is when citizens receive information about all available support measures, taking into account their life circumstances.

Proactive informing aims to notify a person about the social benefits or benefits due to him in the event of certain life situations. This happens automatically, without asking. For example, young mothers will receive notifications at the birth of a child, and elderly citizens — upon reaching retirement age , — shared the manager of the Social Fund branch in Sevastopol.

In order to receive notifications, you must agree to receive them in your personal account on the public services portal. To do this, go to the «Documents» section, then — «Benefits and payments», the next step is to click the «Request» button.

For employers, the merger of the Pension Fund and the Social Insurance Fund means a reduction in the burden of providing various types of reporting.

Previously, employers in various forms provided reports both to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and to the Social Insurance Fund. Now a single form and a single date for submitting monthly reports has been introduced. The association also affected citizens working under a civil law contract. The types of social insurance have been expanded — the introduction of a simplified reporting form will allow them to receive payments on sick leave , says Elena Gayvoronskaya.

For all questions related to the activities of the Social Fund, you can contact the single contact center 8 800 6-000-000 , through the official pages of the foundation in social networks, as well as during a personal reception.

Recall that live broadcasts in the group of the Government of Sevastopol in the social network «VKontakte» are held on a regular basis. On the eve of the next broadcast, everyone can leave their questions, wishes and suggestions under the announcement post.
