Social aid recipients in Magadan have until October 1 to modify the format of their welfare benefits.
In the Magadan region of Russia, federal beneficiaries have the opportunity to choose the form in which they receive their Social Services Package (SSP) starting from January 1st, 2026. This package includes benefits such as free medication, spa treatment, and transportation to and from the treatment facility.
As of 2025, 5055 people in the Magadan region receive the SSP, either fully or partially, in kind. The cost of the SSP in 2025 is 1,728.46 rubles, broken down as follows: medication, medical devices, and dietary supplements (1,331.30 rubles); a spa treatment voucher (205.95 rubles); and transportation to and from the treatment facility (191.21 rubles).
If a recipient does not plan to change the form of their SSP for the next year, there is no need to submit an application. However, for those who wish to switch to monetary form or continue receiving some services in kind while opting for others in monetary form, an application must be submitted by October 1st, 2025.
The application can be submitted through the government services portal, at a Multi-Functional Centre (MFC), or at the nearest client service office of the Social Fund of Russia in the Magadan region. It is essential to provide identification documents and proof of federal beneficiary status along with the application.
It is worth noting that the chosen form of receiving the SSP does not equate to a monetary equivalent for the in-kind benefits. Additionally, citizens with Group I disability and children with disabilities have the right to receive a second voucher for an accompanying person, as well as free transportation to and from the treatment facility.
For detailed and updated instructions specific to your situation and the 2026 regulations, it is recommended to visit the official website or office of the Magadan regional social protection department, look for announcements or updated procedures for 2026 regarding social services packages for federal beneficiaries, or call local social services centers.
If a new governmental decree or resolution is expected for 2026, it will likely be published on official portals such as the Magadan regional government website or the federal Ministry of Labor and Social Protection website.
Since no recent or direct information is available in the search results, checking official sources or contacting relevant authorities in the Magadan region is the most reliable way to obtain accurate instructions.
For further information, you can contact the single contact center at 8-800-10-000-01 (Monday-Friday, 9:00-17:00).
In light of the upcoming change in the choice of SSP form from January 1st, 2026, recipients may consider the significance of science and health-and-wellness in their decision, as the current package includes benefits such as medical devices, dietary supplements, spa treatment, and transportation to treatment facilities.
Moreover, those who wish to tailor their SSP to their specific needs by receiving some services in kind and others in monetary form should be aware that the process involves submitting an application by October 1st, 2025, and providing necessary identification and proof.
