Monthly Stipend of 11,000 Rubles: Recipients Identified by the State Department
In a recent development, President Vladimir Putin has issued a decree increasing the allowance for caregivers of individuals with disabilities from the "childhood I" group in Altai Krai.
The application process for this allowance needs to be done once a year. However, there is currently no clear information available on who in Altai Krai is eligible for a 50% compensation of the cost of an OCAGO (compulsory motor third-party liability insurance) policy.
Generally, such discounts or partial compensations for OCAGO policies are applied to specific categories, including certain social groups, large families, participants in state support programs for motor transport, veterans, and other recognised beneficiary categories. For precise and official eligibility criteria in Altai Krai, it is recommended to consult the regional government websites, insurance regulatory authorities, or specific decrees concerning motor insurance subsidies there.
Moving on, there has been a significant change in the allowance for caregivers of individuals with disabilities. Prior to 2025, only parents or guardians of a child with disabilities could claim the allowance of 10,000 rubles. As of January 2025, any relative or able-bodied citizen who cares for a child or adult with disabilities from the "childhood I" group can apply for the allowance. This change allows more caregivers to receive the increased allowance.
The new monthly state allowance is nearly 11,000 rubles, a 9.5% increase from the previous 1,200 rubles for other caregivers. This allowance is granted by the Social Fund.
This increase in the allowance is a welcome move, providing much-needed support to caregivers of individuals with disabilities in Altai Krai. For more information on the eligibility criteria for the OCAGO policy compensation or updated details on the caregiver allowance, it is advisable to refer to the official regional documents or authorities.
The Altai Krai regional government may potentially consider extending the 50% compensation for OCAGO policies to caregivers of individuals with disabilities from the "childhood I" group, given their increased financial burden due to the new caregiver allowance. An open discussion on the potential application of such subsidies could take place in the realms of finance, business, politics, and general-news.
The growing financial support for caregivers of individuals with disabilities is a significant development in the social sector of Altai Krai; however, it may also create a need for adjustments in other areas, such as transportation costs, which could influence both business and policy decisions.
