Sample of filling out an application for compensation from the Social Insurance Fund
Let's look at an example of filling out an application for reimbursement.
Atlantis LLC purchased in 2021 for the purpose of coronavirus prevention:
- non-contact thermometer for organizing an input filter for 5 thousand rubles;
- reusable masks for 100 rubles. (number of employees – 20 people, amount of expenses – 2 thousand rubles);
- individual disinfectants for 100 rubles. (total purchased for 2 thousand rubles);
- premises disinfection products – by 11 thousand rubles.
All expenses amounted to 20 thousand rubles. and were included in the company’s preventive action plan to combat the spread of coronavirus.
For 2021, the company’s payroll amounted to 7,200,000 rubles, sick leave for “injuries” was not paid, financing is possible within 20% of the amount of insurance premiums.
The contribution rate for “injuries” is 0.2%. Insurance premiums accrued for 2021:
7,200,000 x 0.2% = 14,400 rubles.
Considering that the reimbursement will be 20% of the accrued contributions for 2019, Atlantis LLC submits an application in the amount of 2,880 rubles. (14,400 x 20% = 2,880 rubles).
In this case, it turns out that there is no point in collecting a package of documents for each item of expenses incurred. It is quite enough to confirm the expenses, for example, for the purchase of a thermometer, and attach:
- a list of purchased devices indicating quantities and prices;
- a copy of the document of compliance, if the thermometer is subject to mandatory certification.
A completed application for reimbursement of coronavirus expenses looks like this:
What does the new report include?
The report consists of two tables. The first table indicates:
- the name of preventive measures to reduce industrial injuries and occupational diseases;
- planned expenses, which are agreed upon with the regional branch of the Social Insurance Fund;
