The District Duma has introduced amendments to the law on family support in Yugra. From now on, benefits for large families will only be available to citizens who have been permanently residing in the Russian Federation with Russian citizenship for at least 5 years.
"The draft law provides for amendments to the conditions for providing certain social support measures to large families. According to it, in order to receive payments, the applicant must not only be a citizen of the Russian Federation but must also have lived in the country with the status of a Russian citizen for at least five years," explained Irina Moldanova, acting director of the Department of Social Development of Yugra.
The adopted changes do not apply to certain categories. For example, participants in the special military operation and their families, as well as combat veterans, are exempt. They can receive social benefits regardless of when they obtained Russian citizenship.
