New Benefits for Children of Fallen SMO Soldiers Extend to Posthumous Cases
Children of fallen Special Military Operation (SMO) participants are now entitled to benefits, even if their fathers died before their birth. This new provision recognizes legal fatherhood, provided paternity is legally established.
The benefits package includes one-time lump-sum payments, insurance payouts, presidential compensation, monthly child allowances, and survivor’s pension. To claim these, applicants should present the child's birth certificate and legal proof of paternity at the military enlistment office or the deceased serviceman’s unit.
Paternity is legally recognized regardless of the father's death timing, as long as it's court-confirmed. This means the son of a participant who died before the child's birth is eligible for these benefits.
Payments are processed within five business days of the approval decision. This new provision ensures that children of SMO participants, born after their fathers' deaths, receive the support they deserve.
