Today we will be interested in the state allowance for citizens with children, and other payments due when replenishing in the family as well. These are very important points. After all, the state must somehow support the population. Already recognized that in the country below the poverty line there are mainly families in which there are at least 2 minor children. And it is necessary to somehow get out of this situation. What can parents expect in Russia in one way or another? Federal Law No. 81 of 05/19/1995 tells about state payments. And not only him. So what should parents do anyway? What support should they count on?
Early registration
The types of state benefits to citizens with children are diverse. The first, though not the most significant payment, is monetary compensation for early registration. Both working and non-working citizens can apply for it. The basic rule for receiving payment is to apply to a medical institution for registration up to 3 months from the start of pregnancy. After this period, the production will not be considered early.
How much can you get in this case? Not too much. Since 2016, mothers who have given birth to a baby (important: money is given out only after delivery!) Will receive 576 rubles 83 kopecks for early registration. No more, no less. It doesn't matter if you worked before or not. This compensation is established at the legislative level in fixed amounts.
Maternity allowance
That's not all. In addition to early registration, there is also a state allowance for citizens who have children, which is called "maternity leave". Working citizens can apply for it. Please note that you must be in office for one company for two years.
How much can you get from the state as such support? A lot depends on your earnings (official). It takes into account 100% of the salary that you received on average over the past two years. It is necessary to apply for payment to the accounting department of your employer.
Disabled citizens do not receive maternity and pregnancy benefits. In general, those who are not officially employed are entitled to less benefits. It is worth paying attention to this.
Lump sum payment for childbirth
Another type of incentive for families in which the baby was recently born is a one-time payment for the birth of a child. All is paid only once for each minor. It doesn't matter if the mother worked or not. And the amount of payment does not depend on the number of children. That is, the allowance for the first child, second and subsequent will be issued in the same amount.
At the moment, a lump sum payment is 15 512 rubles and 65 kopecks. It is necessary to apply for it either to the employer or to the social security fund. You will have only half a year to process this payment from the moment a newborn is born. Further, the parents lose the opportunity to receive this benefit.
For military wives
The wives of the military did not go unnoticed either. If their husbands in the later stages of pregnancy, their wives served on the draft, you can count on cash assistance from the state. Important: the obstetric period of the "interesting position" should be at least 180 days. Only in such circumstances can you contact the appropriate authorities to receive money.
How much can you get this way? This state allowance is paid to citizens with children at a time in the amount of 24 565 rubles 89 kopecks. Do not confuse him with a one-time maternity allowance - his woman will also be able to receive after she gives birth to a baby.
Up to one and a half years
The Law on Benefits Federal Law No. 81 of May 19, 1995 provides material support to citizens who care for newborns. True, up to one and a half years. In such circumstances, you can receive certain funds during the specified period. Their size depends on whether the citizen (not necessarily the mother) worked in the last two years, as well as on the salary for the specified period of time. The number of children also plays a role.
If the mother (or another person among the relatives who will care for the baby up to 1.5 years) did not work, you can only rely on small payments in a fixed amount. True, in Russia indexation of this material support is provided.
A relative caring for a baby receives 40% of the average monthly salary for 24 months each month - this is if a person worked at the time a new family member appeared. But a non-working citizen can only rely on, as has already been said, relatively small amounts. 2 908 rubles 62 kopecks are paid for the first baby. But the allowance for a second child under 1.5 years old will amount to 5,817.24 rubles. Subsequent children are paid a similar amount.
Payments before the age of three
Few people leave their babies at a year and a half in order to return to work. Therefore, the state provided a small allowance for a child under 3 years old. It is of little interest to anyone because of its meager size. Now many are talking about how to increase this financial assistance to parents.
How much will the caregiver receive from 1.5 to 3 years? Only 50 rubles. As many parents say, there is no point in filling out this compensation. After all, the paperwork that accompanies the process brings more minuses than the pluses in the end. But remember that a benefit for a child under 3 years old still exists. If you wish, you can get it. Paid monthly in the previously indicated time period.
The exception is the allowance that should be given to the wives of the military. They get really decent support. In 2016, such persons were charged 10,528 rubles and 24 kopecks per month. True, only the period in which the baby's father served on the call is taken into account.
What is maternity capital
There is another type of support for families with minors. But this is not a state allowance for citizens with children. We are talking about the so-called maternal capital. It is issued to families in which two children were born, and at the time of registration of documents they are all minors. This cash assistance can be spent either on the treatment of the child for whom compensation is given, or on his education. But you can also spend capital on improving housing conditions. The latter option is most common in Russia.
The size of the uterus does not depend on the number of children. Please note that this is a one-time allowance. Once and for all is paid absolutely for all minors. In other words, if you issued this assistance at the birth of the second child, after the appearance of the third baby, the maternal capital is not issued.
How much can I get? In 2016, parents were paid the same amount as in 2015. Namely - 453 thousand 26 rubles. We are currently discussing indexing this payout. It is enough to collect a certain list of documents and obtain a certificate of maternity capital. This is not as difficult as it seems.
Single parent
In Russia, additional material support is provided if the parent brings up the baby alone. Often, such cases extend to children with disabilities. If we are talking about such a situation, then compensation for disability in a child is made up to 23 years. A single mother can count on her.
What can you hope for? The basic amount of material support is 6,000 rubles. A similar amount is the allowance for a child under 18 years of age, who is a disabled person of 1 or 2 groups. Only one parent must take care of him. Otherwise, you can not rely on payments to parents. Only a disabled person will receive a pension in connection with his special status.
Help for large families
What else should you pay attention to? A mother with many children has the right to receive additional cash. They are paid not from the employer, but from the state fund. What is supposed for families that are considered to be large? First you need to understand that such a status is given to those who have three or more minor children. Other families are considered ordinary.
As a rule, you can count on government support. A mother with many children may receive certain benefits. The same goes for families with more than two minors. It doesn’t matter, adopted or relatives.
What are the benefits? Firstly, 30% coverage of expenses for kindergarten and utility bills. Secondly, in general education institutions, a similar layer of the population offers free meals. Medical drugs before the 6th birthday of children are also provided. In some cases, you can even get a school uniform for free!
Money should not be forgotten either. With large families, there is a benefit for a child under 18 years old (or up to 16). This is the regional monthly payment, which is different in each region. On average, up to 16 (or 18) years, large families have the right to receive 600 rubles. Somewhere this compensation is less, somewhere more. It is usually paid until the child studies in general education institutions and reaches the age of majority.
Regional assistance for children
However, this is not all. The allowance for the first child, as well as for subsequent ones, can be additionally assigned not only at the state, but also at the regional level. Of course, its size will also depend on your region of residence.
You can get a regional allowance for families with children. This is a one-time financial assistance, usually it is paid for each born baby. On average, its size is from 15 to 30 thousand rubles. Check with your local administration.
There are governor payments. They, like regional ones, depend on your region of residence. And paid from the funds of the FSS of the Russian Federation from the governor. They are of a one-time nature, put on each child. For example, in Kaliningrad, "governor's" amount to 3,500 rubles. Not too much, but not enough. Contact the administration of your constituent entity of the Russian Federation to find out the exact amount of this cash payment.
Making child allowances
What is the procedure for paying state benefits to citizens with children? It is enough to contact the Social Support Fund or your employer to receive this or that money. As an alternative solution - "one-stop service", or MFC. In general, for registration of benefits, it is most often necessary to present:
- birth certificates of children;
- passport of the parent receiving the money;
- written application for one or another material support;
- details of the bank account to which the payment will be made;
- copies and originals of the work book;
- certificate of marriage / divorce;
- statement on non-receipt of unemployment benefits (for unemployed);
- certificate from the antenatal clinic about registration;
- statements of average earnings for the last 2 years (for employees);
- the military ID of the husband (for the wives of the military) or another document confirming the service of the citizen;
- an extract from her husband’s place of work about not receiving benefits (officially not employed - a certificate confirming the absence of unemployment benefits).
The above documents are always necessary. They help to receive cash assistance from the FSS of the Russian Federation. Typically, people immediately turn either to the employer for accounting, or to a social insurance fund. Now the work of the IFC is gaining popularity.
If you want to apply for maternity capital, you will have to collect a new package of documents. So, you were able to apply for child support. Documents for mothercapital need almost the same. Only the list is shortened several times. Now you need to present:
- passport of the recipient parent (and his SNILS);
- birth certificates of all children (+ their SNILS);
- application for capital;
- certificate confirming the registration of marriage.
It's all. Do not forget to make copies and attach them to the application form. The above list is submitted to the Pension Fund of your area. In exchange for it, you can get a special certificate for mothercapital. Nothing difficult or special. The main thing is to prepare documents in advance - this will greatly facilitate your life.
Now it’s clear what state allowance is given to citizens with children in this or that case. In addition to the above assistance, you can get a tax deduction. It helps employing parents pay less taxes. For the first two children, 1,400 rubles are deducted from the salary amount, for the third and subsequent ones - 3,000.
