How to become a beneficiary
How to become a beneficiary?
After the war unleashed by the enemy on September 27, 2020, Zinapah provided compensation:
- to the soldiers who got 1st or 2nd category disability;
- to the family of soldiers who fell or went missing.
The beneficiaries of a fallen soldier can be:
- the soldier's spouse;
- the soldier’s child(ren);
- the soldier's parent(s).
The Foundation does not compensate cases when soldier fell or got diabilities as a result of non-combat or offensive actions. Beneficiaries can become volunteers or the families of those who have been officially enlisted before leaving for the battlefield. In order to receive compensation, the beneficiaries need to submit a package of the required documents:
- In the regions: legal departments of regional administrations,
- In the City of Yerevan: legal departments of district administrations,
- In Artsakh: the Social Department of the Defense Army.
These structures, if necessary, provide assistance in the preparation of document packages.
The Public Defender's Office provides free legal assistance to beneficiaries with complicated marital relations (office number +374 10 600 713)։ We also compensate soldiers who fell or got disabled between 2008-2016 by providing only monthly allowances. The amount of pension actually provided by the state is deducted from the calculated monthly payment, and the difference is funded by the foundation.

Please be informed that Zinapah makes compensations in the realm of "Kamurj" financing program.
According to the decision of the RA government, soldiers/servicemen injured in the hostilities waged 27 September 2020, will receive 200,000 AMD monthly, for 6 months, also will be given 100,000 AMD, set by the Foundation Board.
The beneficiaries of the "Kamurj" program are soldiers/servicemen whose medical establishment provides a conclusion that the soldier is highly likely to get disability after the completion of treatment.
The medical establishment provides the conclusion, which is guided by the established list of injuries. If the serviceman, during or after the end of the program, receives disabilities, the latter will receive full compensation from Zinapah, from which the amount received under the program "Kamurj" will be withdrawn.
In order to become beneficiaries of the program, a soldier or the family does not need to apply to any establishment. They will be contacted by the Ministry of Defense.
The "Kamurj" program also compensates the families of the servicemen gone missing. Their families will also receive financial assistance in the amount of 300,000 AMD per month for 6 months. If the court finds a serviceman missing during or after the completion of the program "Kamurj", the beneficiaries provided for by the law will receive full compensation from Zinapah, from which the amount received under the program "Kamurj'' will be withdrawn.
