How to issue payments to the family of a missing soldier?

Good day.

In order to arrange payments to the family of a missing soldier, it is necessary to submit an application in the name of the commander of the military unit. The detailed procedure is set out in Cabinet Resolution No. 884 dated November 30, 2016.

The family of a missing person can claim various benefits, such as: provision of children with tickets to sanatoriums and resorts with payment of half the cost, a 50 percent discount on the use of housing and communal services, the right to free travel on all types of city transport, a discount on intercity transport, the right to a plot of land and assistance in the construction of a private house and obtaining a living space free of charge.

As for the period during which a person can be considered missing, in general, if there is no information about the person's place of residence in the place of permanent residence - within 3 years.

If a natural person disappeared in connection with hostilities - after the expiration of 2 years from the date of the end of hostilities. Taking into account the specific circumstances of the case, the court may declare a natural person dead even before the expiration of this term, but not before the expiration of six months.
