The state is trying to encourage citizens who form strong and reliable families, as this affects the consciousness of the younger generation. People who have been married for a long time ensure the preservation of traditions and Russian culture.
Therefore, if spouses have lived together for more than 50 years, then they can receive a large one-time payment, although it is assigned only by local regional authorities.
Is payment due on the 50th anniversary of marriage?
The benefit was first paid in 2002. It is presented as a gift to unusual spouses who have lived together for 50 or 60 years. But since 2007, such a gift has become available to all spouses who are on a date. This applies not only to 50 years, but also to 55, 60, 65 and other anniversaries.
In some regions, local authorities pay funds even to couples who have lived together in an official marriage for less than 50 years , so they set their own terms and conditions. But this requires that citizens reach retirement age and also be officially employed. It is additionally important that the pension of one spouse exceeds the pension of the second by 2.5%.
Reference! Funds are paid in a lump sum, and the payment is approved by local regulations, therefore the amount differs significantly in different regions of the Russian Federation.
