Today, there are a number of special social programs developed by the government of the Russian Federation for young families. This means that now some categories of citizens can receive benefits for the care of newborns and other categories of material assistance. The same goes for sending babies to preschool facilities.
In 2018, compensation for kindergarten for parents rose to 70%. However, not every category of citizens can receive such payments. To know how to apply for compensation, you need to pay attention to a number of important aspects.
Types of Compensation
To date, the payment may be state or regional. In the first case, information on the procedure for making payments can be found in the legislative framework of the Russian Federation. If we are talking about regional compensation, then the amount and procedure for payment are determined depending on the specific area and its leaders.
The monetary reimbursement directly depends on the level of payment for services that are provided by the preschool institution. It is also worth considering that the leadership of kindergartens does not have the right to artificially inflate tuition fees. Accordingly, the daily payment for kindergarten cannot be more than 100 rubles per day, depending on the age of the baby. This requirement applies not only to public kindergartens, but also private ones. If the leaders of a preschool educational institution not only inflate prices for services, but also ask their parents to make additional contributions (for example, to repair a room or purchase additional equipment), then in this case you need to know that any parent has a legal right to sue directors of kindergarten.
Government payments
Most often, parents apply for this type of compensation for kindergarten. A similar payment is provided for needy families. Therefore, if parents want to receive a refund for the fact that they use the services of a private nanny, then they should forget about this idea.
It all depends on the total earnings of the parents. If the husband and wife in the amount earn more than 150% of the accepted subsistence level, this benefit also does not apply to them. If parents pay a monthly visit to the kindergarten, but the child falls ill and cannot attend the classes for a long time, then all missed days are not taken into account with financial assistance. In this case, there is a different allocation procedure.
In order to understand what kind of compensation for kindergarten is provided for a child, first of all, you need to calculate the cost of one day spent by a child in a preschool educational institution. To do this, it is enough to divide the total price of the services of teachers and kindergarten personnel by the number of working days in a particular month. After that, those days when the baby was in the kindergarten must be multiplied by the cost of one day. The resulting figure is divided by 100 and multiplied by the percentage of compensation, which can be from 20.5 to 70%.
Regional Payments
In this case, parents can rely on compensation for part of the parental fee for kindergarten, for food or additional services from the kindergarten. At the same time, not only those in need, but also large families, can count on regional payments.
In order to receive financial assistance, parents themselves must necessarily write a statement to the authorized body and accompany it with the necessary list of documents. To find out what kind of parental compensation for kindergarten is supposed in a particular region, you need to go to the official website of the Department of Education and find your city in it.
Compensation for lack of seats
Many young parents are familiar with the situation when they have to sit with the baby at home for more than 2 years, since it is simply impossible to find free places in the kindergarten. In some cities, this problem is so acute due to the fact that in the region there is virtually no room for small children.
In this regard, the local authorities decided to allocate a small part of the regional budget and begin to pay compensation for not providing a place in kindergarten, even at the registration of the baby. However, it should be borne in mind that at the federal level, these benefits are not provided. By and large, all this is an auxiliary compensation.
If a family is denied cash, it will be very difficult to appeal. Therefore, parents will not receive compensation for not providing kindergarten.
Who can count on payouts?
If we turn to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, then in this document you can find information that this right is given not only to the baby’s parents, but also to his official guardians.
Whether or not to provide subsidies will be decided on an individual basis. Parents are advised to contact the Department of Education and write a statement. After that, you will need to wait a while until the staff of the institution will assess the costs of raising this or that baby. If they confirm that the child really needs help from the state, then the request will be approved.
To clarify information about whether parents can rely on compensation for part of the fee for kindergarten, you can contact the department of social protection at the place of residence.
Refund for meals
According to a new resolution of the Russian Federation, in 2018, parents have the right to receive compensation for food expenses. However, this privilege is available only to those families that are forced to pay for food directly at the DOU every month.
The amount of this compensation for kindergarten will directly depend on how many minor children attend preschool educational institutions. This payment can be received by a needy or large family, as well as preschoolers, in whom one or both parents were Chernobyl victims or participated in the liquidation of the accident. In this case, you will also need to submit documents to the Department of Education. After that, parents must submit to the kindergarten each month an original receipt for payment for food, as well as a document confirming that monthly subsidies were accrued.
Compensation calculation features
It is worth considering that the amount of compensation for parental fees for kindergarten depends on the number of children. For one baby you can get about 20% of the money. If we are talking about a second child, then in this case the percentage rises to 50. If the family has three or more children, the amount of compensation will be 70% of the fee for kindergarten services.
If we talk about arithmetic calculations, then they can be done independently. In this case, it is necessary to perform the same manipulations that were described above. Let's look at an example.
Suppose that a boy, Vitya, visited a kindergarten in May for only 16 days. Payment for the services of a preschool educational institution is 1600 rubles per month. Next, you need to divide 1600 by 19. This figure is the number of working days in May. Based on this, we get 84.21 rubles. The resulting amount must be multiplied by 16. The result is 1347.36 rubles. This means that parents had to pay exactly this amount in the DOW. After that, it must be multiplied by 20%. The result is 269.47 rubles. This will be the amount of parental compensation for kindergarten if Vitya is an only child. If there are more kids, then you need to multiply by 50 and 70%, respectively.
Features of accruals
All funds received are credited to the bank account, which the baby's parents must indicate when submitting the application. If we talk about how the procedure happened earlier and now, then the actions are slightly different. In the old days, receipts were issued to parents, and they immediately received compensation for paying for kindergarten, respectively, by default, parents always paid a smaller amount. Today, the father and mother of the child must first pay the full cost of the services of the DOW and only after the recalculation they can rely on the reimbursement of part of the funds. Accordingly, this process is delayed.
What documents will be required
To apply for compensation for kindergarten, you must fill out the appropriate application for cash payments. The paper must be signed by one of the parents. Depending on the specific region, the sample application may vary, so you should contact the education department of your city.
You will also need a passport of the parent who is applying. In addition, a child’s birth certificate and a certificate confirming the composition of the family are required. In addition, you need to submit a document from the bank in which all the details for the transfer of funds will be indicated.
Additionally, it is necessary to provide information on the wages of both spouses. According to the law, this package of documents does not have to be personally carried to the education department. In some preschool educational institutions, you can submit documents to the head of the organization, who will transfer all the necessary papers on. However, it all depends on the particular institution.
However, it is worth knowing that, regardless of whether the institution is private or public, management must independently draw up a statement. However, some DOW representatives are delaying this process.
Payment Procedure
The standard scheme should look like this. First, the head of the preschool educational institution receives a package of documents from the child’s parents. He makes copies of the received papers and certifies them with the seal of DOE. After that, all originals are returned to parents. Copies are sent to the city education authority or to social security.
After that, you will need to wait a few months until the application is considered. On the official website of the educational authorities or social protection lists are available that indicate new circumstances and changes in legislation regarding compensation for kindergarten fees.
If the application has been reviewed and confirmed, then the parents will begin to receive payments to the bank account. If the details change, it is necessary to inform the head of the preschool educational institution about the new data.
In which regions is paid
Today, the possibility of obtaining such compensation is provided for all regions of the country. However, when it comes to compensation for lack of seats, this is not always possible. For example, residents of St. Petersburg and Moscow will not be able to apply for such compensation. It is believed that in these cities there are a sufficient number of public and private kindergartens in which parents can enroll their children.
In other regions, payments are not fixed. For example, in Samara, parents can receive compensation in the amount of 500 rubles. To get more accurate information, you need to clarify the situation in a specific region of residence. You can also contact a preschool educational institution.
Finally
Not all parents know that they are not always obliged to pay the full cost of the services of educational institutions. For example, if a mother and father are forced to raise many children or they cannot earn enough money in order to provide the children with the proper level of education. The main thing is to know what documents to prepare, and not to be afraid to apply for compensation directly to the kindergarten management. If the parents are refused, then you should contact the Department of Education and clarify the information there.
