In Kursk, the Prosecutor’s office protects the right of the child to a survivor’s pension

In the regional center, a 15-year-old resident appealed to the prosecutor's office of the Seimas district with a request to help her receive a survivor's pension. The girl from birth lived with her father, who fully supported and raised her. But he died in the summer of 2026.

The problem arose due to the fact that the father was not listed on the girl's birth certificate. This became an obstacle to documentary evidence of kinship and registration of pensions. However, genetic testing confirmed paternity.

To protect the rights of the child, the supervisory authority applied to the court to establish the fact of recognition of paternity. If the court grants the claim, the girl will be able to issue documents for a pension. The application has already been accepted for consideration, the prosecutor's office of the Kursk region said.
