In the Sverdlovsk region will simplify the issuance of prostheses and support beneficiaries

At a meeting of the regional government on November 12, Governor Denis Pasler announced new social solutions. The head of the region wrote about it in social networks.

An additional 1 billion rubles were allocated to compensate for the costs of housing and communal services for preferential categories of residents. Taking into account the previously provided funds, the total financing of this support measure in 2026 will be about 12 billion rubles.

The right to compensation in the Sverdlovsk region have 30 categories of citizens – including disabled people, participants of the Great Patriotic War and large families. This year, more than 390 thousand Sverdlovsk residents took advantage of the benefit. The amount of payment is calculated taking into account the area of housing, the composition of the family and the amount of charges for residential premises.

It was also decided to simplify the procedure for providing prostheses to workers in the rear of the Great Patriotic War and poor residents of the region - if there are medical indications, prostheses are provided at the expense of budget funds.

Now it is enough to apply only for assistance. The remaining documents, including the conclusion of the medical commission, will be requested within the framework of interdepartmental cooperation - without the participation of the applicant.

In May, MK-Ural wrote that as of the end of March 2026, 65.6 thousand families of the Sverdlovsk region had used the right to receive subsidies for housing and utilities. This is 1.0 thousand families less than at the end of March 2025, the press service of Sverdlovskstat reports.
