The new accrual rules are related to the fact that as early as January 1, 2013, certain changes came into force that were introduced into the law of the Russian Federation under number 255. According to the standards, the employer pays the due childcare allowance until the child turns 1, 5 years This can be done for one of the parents, who in a timely manner and in accordance with the law issued a vacation providing for the care of the child. In the event that a citizen is not officially registered at any workplace, he can receive the benefit at the local social protection authorities located at his place of residence. It should be noted that in this case the citizen will not receive any
unemployment benefits.How to get benefits
After the submission of the required package of documents, the decision to pay compensation is usually made within ten days. Calculation of the term starts from the moment the documents are submitted to the competent authority representing the interests of social protection of citizens. In the event that the employee performs his functions at home and also enters the workplace in a shortened day, childcare allowance is provided in the usual manner. As soon as the documents are reviewed by authorized specialists, an allowance is accrued, which begins to be paid from the next day after the time on the sick leave. Such a document is issued for pregnancy and childbirth.
The payment of benefits ends on the day the baby is 1.5 years old. It should be noted that when a parent leaves immediately after two or more children, the
amount of care
payments will be summed up. However, the total amount constituting the childcare allowance cannot exceed the amount of the established average earnings. But the amount received will also not be less than the total minimum rate of this allowance.
The procedure for paying cash care for a child
Currently, childcare allowance can be obtained if you apply for it no later than six months from the date of birth of the baby. If we talk about vacation, then his woman has the right to use both in full and in small parts. If the mother interrupted the allotted vacation and went to the workplace, then she will not receive payments. Note that if a woman partially took leave, and then went to work, but wants to subsequently resume it, then she has the right to receive the remainder of the allowance. The employer is obliged to allow her to be part-time in her place, which does not completely deprive her of the opportunity to receive the required amounts from the state.
Necessary documents to be submitted to the social security authority
In order to draw up a monthly allowance for caring for a child up to one and a half years old, it is necessary to provide the following documents to the social protection authorities at the place of registration:
- an application for the provision of parental leave and accrual of the appropriate allowance;
- a copy of the applicant’s passport;
- baby's birth certificate;
- a copy of the order from the employer on the provision of parental leave for children up to 1.5 years;
- a certificate from the competent authority of the employment service, which indicates that the parent is not registered, and also does not receive unemployment benefits;
- a certificate from the insurance fund that the benefit is not received by another parent.
Note that, if necessary, employees of the competent authority have the right to require some additional documents. A child care allowance will be accrued only if all the papers are collected on time.
