Подскажите, есть ли в английском какой-то устойчивый нормальный аналог слова "льготник"? Это люди, пользующие различными социальными льготами, как-то: бесплатный проезд, льготная оплата коммуналки и т.д. Все эти 
person entitled to benefits как-то не катят...

У нас в США, такие льготы обыно только с возраста 65 лет. Поэтому мы говорим о "senior citizen discounts."

Конечно понимаю положение в России. Можно было сказать "persons entitled by law to discounts or special privileges".

Переиначте, типа groups of citizens entitled to special rates /special discounts. По‒русски ведь может быть и льготный билет, и льготная ставка на ипотеку.

в МБРР льготы на проезд, ЕМНИП, назывались subsidy
Longman Dic of Business Eng: Subsidy money given by a government to certain producers, such as farmers, to help them to produce without loss to themselves,at yet at a low price, goods and services need by the public. Possible subsidies include food subsidies and housing subsidies, export subsidies to encourage foreign trade, and employment subsidies to prevent unemployment.

Но это только если государство компенсирует, как я понимаю. А не то, что сама компания за свой счет.

Как-то не встречал общего термина. Льготная цена проезда, в странах Содружества - concession fare, в США - discount fare. О друих услугах, соответсвенно, concession/discount rate.

Every agency (public transit, phone company, national park service) may have its own rules who's entitled to concession/discount fares/rates (e.g., old-age pensioners ["senior citizens" in the US], students, children, disabled, army veterans, poor people who are eligible to Medicaid under the rules of a particular US state, or whose income is below a certain threshold, etc). So there is rarely a context where you can be talking about some uniformly defined population that enjoys such discounts throughout all the services in a given state/province where such consessions/discounts may exist.

In the context of a particular agency, they just use a descriptive phrase: "People eligible for discounted fares", "customers eligible for reduced fares" ( http://www.sdmts.com/fares_discounted.asp ), "Approved Beneficiaries eligible for concession fares prices" (a very bureaucratic way of saying this in Australia: http://www.redbus.com.au/ticketing/concession-fares ), "eligible low-income consumers" (who can receive a US government subsidy for telephone service - http://www.fcc.gov/guides/lifeline-and-link-affordable-telephone-service-income-eligible-consumers ), "Consumers who meet [a particular discount program's] eligibility rules" ( https://www.californialifeline.com/source/FAQs.aspx), etc.
One can also say "[name of a program]'s beneficiaries", e.g. "Mitchell-Lama Beneficiaries" (those who get discount-rent housing in NY State: http://www.nysun.com/new-york/increasingly-mitchell-lama-beneficiaries-are/48110/ ), "concession beneficiaries" (e.g. regarding people who can purchase pharmaceuticals at a concession price in Australia);
this also applies to those who get, essentially free service - as in "Medicaid beneficiaries" in the US.
