New payment rules for honorary donors in Russia
The President of the Russian Federation has signed a new federal law that changes the procedure for receiving monetary payments for the country's honorary donors. The changes will come into effect on January 1, 2027, and will apply to all citizens holding this status.
According to the new document, the functions of assigning and paying annual allowances are being transferred to the Social Fund of Russia. Previously, these matters were handled at the regional level, but the procedure will now become centralized. This will make the process of receiving funds more convenient and faster for citizens.
For honorary donors, this means they will no longer need to contact various agencies. The Social Fund will automatically process data and transfer payments to the recipients' accounts. The innovation is aimed at simplifying bureaucratic procedures and increasing the efficiency of social support for the population.
This measure is part of a state program to support the donor movement. The authorities emphasize that honorary donors make an important contribution to saving lives, so the state strives to make the system of rewarding them as transparent and accessible as possible.
Thus, starting from the beginning of 2027, all honorary donors in Russia will receive annual payments under unified rules through the Social Fund. Detailed information about the payment procedure will be available at the fund's offices or on the official public services portal.
