The lump sum for a child in the current 2013 increased to 13,087 rubles. It is planned that this amount will be increased starting in January 2014. In any case, the relevant articles are planned in the draft state budget 2014.
The child allowance is issued to all mothers, regardless of their financial situation and work experience. There are no restrictions in this regard by applicable law. To do this, you must apply with the appropriate application at the place of study and work. Officials do not have the right to refuse such treatment - this type of social payment is mandatory throughout the country. True, the procedure may be slightly adjusted locally, depending on regional conditions.
Russian law emphasizes that the child benefit is also given to the father if the mother cannot receive it (as a result of death, serious injury, etc.). It is only necessary to collect all documents and certificates. In addition, an option is provided for unemployed parents when they contact the regional office of the Social Security Administration or the Social Insurance Fund.
In order to receive child benefits, you must provide the following documents: the birth certificate of the baby, for dad - a certificate from the place of current work that he has not yet received money for his son or daughter, for single mothers - information about the baby’s father and a certificate from the registry office stating that such data was entered into a single register, and finally, an application for the receipt of the desired social benefits.
For non-working parents, the legal procedure is somewhat different. In order to receive child support, in addition to the birth certificate and a certificate from the district registry office, you need to submit work books that indicate which company the mother and father were fired from, for what article and reason. This is done in order to understand whether they intend to continue to seek labor income or are going to live solely through social payments. However, given that they will be produced in any case, such bureaucratic scrupulousness seems unnecessary.
As for the deadlines for submitting documents, they are registered within six months from the date of birth of the child. After all clearance activities have passed, the actual payment begins 10 days after registration.
Child support is calculated as follows. If your baby has not turned one and a half years old: the annual salary (without vacation and sick leave) is divided by the number of working days. The resulting indicator is the average daily earnings. From this amount, we calculate 40% and multiply by 30.4. This will be the monthly payment.
The allowance for caring for a second child is much larger and approaches 100% of the average salary. We emphasize that the indexation of benefits is not provided for by law, and it is paid in accordance with the standards prescribed in the State budget. In addition, your employer may make such a payment. The amount of up to 50 thousand rubles is not taxed.
