Families of the dead and servicemen with disabilities of the first group receive 10 million drams at a time, people with disabilities in the second group receive 5 million drams. Funds for the fallen soldiers are legally received by the parents and children of the military, as well as brothers and sisters under 23 years of age. For 20 years the families of the victims and the disabled of the first group will receive an insurance payment monthly: for officers they will be 300 thousand drams per month, ensigns - 250 thousand, privates - 200 thousand. For disabled people of the second group, 200, 150 and 100 thousand drams per month respectively. As a result of the implementation of the program, in the event of the death of a serviceman or the receipt of a first-group disability, an insurance payment of 82 million drams will be paid to a military or family member for 20 years, 70 million to an ensign, and 58 million to an ordinary person.
