Does Rostelecom provide benefits to pensioners?
Let's first figure out who gets benefits in this country.
So, people who will have benefits in this company:
- veterans of the Great Patriotic War, the Afghan War, blockade survivors, Heroes of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation, full holders of the Order of Glory, combatants;
- disabled people of 1-3 degrees, disabled people of World War II, disabled people from childhood, families with disabled children;
- labor veterans; veterans of military service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the prosecutor's office, courts and justice, Chernobyl victims;
- victims of political repression, large families, pensioners, as well as those injured during testing at the Semipalatinsk test site.
As the company itself states, preferential relations are regulated by regional and local authorities, and as such the company does not provide special tariffs for certain categories of the population. This means you should start from our legislation, and not from the list of company services.
How to get Rostelecom benefits
If you are part of one of the following groups of citizens:
- pensioners,
- labor veterans,
- WWII veterans,
- disabled people of groups 1 and 2,
It is recommended that you contact your nearest one to receive a special discount offer.
A company employee will ask you to fill out an application for a subsidy. To do this, you will need the following information about you:
- passport details;
- document number confirming your status as a pensioner, veteran or disabled person;
- reasons for the need to receive a subsidy;
- your personal account number if you are already a Rostelecom client;
- details for crediting compensation;
- date and signature.
Depending on your individual situation, the following documents may be required:
- identification;
- pension certificate for pensioners;
- a document confirming your preferential status;
- information about family composition;
- service agreement if you are already a Rostelecom client;
- documentation confirming receipt of various awards.
Your application and information will be forwarded to the social security authorities. If the data matches and you are eligible to receive benefits, you will be notified of a positive decision.
Preferential rates for pensioners and labor veterans
If you want to pay less for your phone and other services, you should apply for compensation. In Moscow, for example, it is 230 rubles, in Astrakhan - 183 rubles. Compensation can be issued to a pensioner, labor veteran, etc.
The amount of compensation is set by regional authorities. At the federal level, there is no law that would regulate the scope and mandatory provision of benefits.
As for tariffs, here you are free to choose what you need, including for pensioners, labor veterans, etc. So, which inexpensive tariff to choose in the near future.
- The “social” tariff will cost 240 rubles/month and connection to it will cost 204 rubles.
- “Time-based” without the included volume of local telephone connections - 204 rubles.
- “Weekend” - with no limit on the volume of local connections on weekends and holidays - 350 rubles.
354 rub. are “Subscriber” and “Combined 350”. “Combined” includes the volume of local connections in the payment, and “Subscriber” provides an unlimited volume of connections in the absence of the technical ability to account for them.
As for the Internet, there are the following tariffs.
- "Express" for 500 rubles. — 200 Mbit/s.
- “For Internet everywhere” 800 rub. — 200 Mbit/s.
- “Game” 900 rub. — 500 Mbit/s.
- “For peace of mind” 900 rub. — 200 Mbit/s.
All tariffs include online TV.
The main thing here is speed and price, so it’s better to start from the above indicators. It is best to take “Express” or “Game”, since there is nothing superfluous in them, especially since we are talking about ordinary pensioners. If you still want extra. includes another 5 GB of additional memory on the Yandex disk, and “For peace of mind” gives a video camera and the ability to conduct video surveillance. This is really for peace of mind.
If you want to order an Internet + TV tariff, then the tariffs are as follows.
- Starter - 600 rubles/month, 200 Mbit/s, 164 channels.
- For impressions everywhere - 850 rubles/month, 200 Mbit/s, 164 channels.
- Gaming - 1080 rubles/month, 500 Mbit/s, 164 channels.
- For a family - 1200 rubles/month, 200 Mbit/s, 164 channels, license for Kaspersky antivirus for 2 devices, parental controls, 5 GB for Yandex disk.
- For everything - 1400 rubles/month, 200 Mbit/s, 195 channels, video camera + video surveillance, Kaspersky, parental controls.
Again, refuse unnecessary services. It’s better to take a cheaper package; don’t overpay for unnecessary functions, which, especially, have analogues.
It is worth mentioning Victory Day separately. During its celebration, the company provides benefits to people with disabilities, as well as pensioners and veterans of the Second World War.
During the period from May 7 to May 9, the company provides the opportunity to make intra-zone, intercity and international calls within the CIS and the Baltic states for a total of 60 minutes per day free of charge. You can also send telegrams for free under the same conditions, as well as make free calls from the main clinical hospital of the FSB of Russia.
Benefits of RT
In simple words, Rostelecom benefits are discounts provided for socially vulnerable categories of the population and other special groups of citizens. The terms and conditions for their provision may vary depending on the region of residence of the user and other factors. It is also worth considering that many “bonuses” for pensioners and disabled people are temporary. Below we will consider what citizens of the Russian Federation who are members of special groups can count on.
For pensioners
Rostelecom provides benefits to pensioners and disabled people for television services. The provider provides access to analog and digital TV with the ability to connect additional packages. At the same time, some categories of citizens have the right to count on a 50% discount. This category includes:
- Low-income pensioners who live on their own (without children or spouses) and are subsidized by the state.
- Families that include only pensioners, subject to receiving subsidies.
- Single disabled people.
- Heroes of the USSR or the Russian Federation, holders of the Order of Glory.
As you can see, Rostelecom has provided benefits for pensioners and disabled people of groups 1 and 2 under certain conditions. To connect, you need to contact the provider’s office and fill out an application for a discount (more on this below).
Additionally, Rostelecom provides benefits for pensioners and labor veterans (if the appropriate age) for mobile communications. The Veteran tariff plan is available to clients. It is provided under the following conditions:
- Free access to calls within the network.
- Minutes inside the zone - 3000 min.
- Long distance calls - 3000 min.
- Near abroad and international - 100 min.
- Payment once a month - 220 rubles.
- The number of free minutes is 500 rubles.
- Calls to landline phones - 50 kopecks;
- Call to another region - 1.35 rubles, etc.
Detailed terms of the tariff plan for pensioners from Rostelecom can be obtained on the official website rt.ru. It is worth considering that conditions may change over time, so tariffs need to be clarified.
Rostelecom also provides temporary benefits for pensioners over 80 years of age and WWII Veterans. Thus, in 2021, veterans had access to free calls. In addition, Rostelecom home phone users are automatically transferred to the Veteran tariff package with free calls. The benefit will be activated automatically from May 1, 2021. At the same time, lists for applicants are formed in the regions.
If you have questions about obtaining preferential conditions, pensioners, disabled people and WWII participants can dial 8-800-20-077-66 and get the necessary information. Rostelecom employees tell you what benefits are available and how a pensioner can connect to the Veteran tariff.
Additionally, discounts are provided for local telephone services. In particular, the promotion takes place in May 2021 and concerns residents of some regions of the country.
For invalids
Some of the benefits discussed above also apply to people with disabilities. Thus, the Rostelecom company provides benefits to single disabled people of groups 1 and 2 on TV (50% discount). Free 100 minutes for calls in different directions are also provided:
- on the territory of residence;
- to another locality or region;
- to neighboring countries, etc.
A detailed description of preferential conditions for disabled people and pensioners is given in the news or on the company’s website. In addition, additional bonuses are provided for the Victory Day, for example, free sending of telegrams.
For labor veterans
In different regions, Rostelecom offers benefits to veterans on telephone payments. The discount on payment for services is 25%. Other people can also count on such a discount: WWII veterans, disabled people, combatants, concentration camp prisoners.
The cost of connection must be clarified at the company’s office, because it differs in many regions. The terms of Rostelecom's benefits for labor veterans may also change depending on the place of residence. Additionally, labor veterans can count on other “bonuses”, for example, a discount on utility bills.
conclusions
This is the meager list of benefits our dear Rostelecom can provide us with.
All privileges are regulated at the regional level due to regional settings.
If you have a relative who is retired, disabled, a labor veteran or someone similar, then it is better to contact a lawyer or apply for subsidies for compensation and benefits. And then, it’s better to take a simple tariff that includes TV (although you can completely refuse the box), Internet (or refuse it if you or your friends simply don’t want to see this article anymore) and telephone.
