An addition is planned in the family, or has the baby already appeared? So financial resources are now spent much more. During pregnancy, vitamins and medicines are required, after the birth of the baby, the costs increase at times. A stroller, crib, clothes, food - all this takes a pretty decent amount. And if you take into account that my mother is not working right now, then the family has less money, and more costs. That is why the state has provided not only a lump-sum allowance at the birth of a child, but also a number of other payments that are obligatory for families with a newborn baby.
Maternity leave
The very first payment is for maternity and pregnancy leave. This can even be called not leave, but sick leave, because for the entire prescribed period the doctor of the antenatal clinic writes out a sick leave. It is issued for a period of 30 weeks, from this moment mom may no longer go to work. Vacation is seventy days before childbirth and already after the same amount (in complicated births it is extended to 86, for mothers of twins 110). Payment is made once and in one amount. According to old legislation, the calculation is made for one year prior to vacation. In a new way, this is two years. But for now, until the end of 2012, mothers can choose a payment period. The next payment will be after childbirth - this is a one-time allowance for the birth of a child.
One-time birth allowance
The baby was born, the birth certificate has been received, then it is time to apply for childbirth benefits. Today its size is 11703 rubles, they are supplemented with regional allowances and coefficients, which depend on the region of receipt. Both young mother and father can receive these funds, but only once. If they are received by a working parent, then a special application is written to the accounting department, a certificate from the local registry office, a certificate from the place of employment of the second parent about not receiving benefits is attached to it. If the second parent is not working, it is necessary to provide the accounting department with a certificate from social security about the non-receipt of these funds and a copy of the work book certified by a notary.
A non-working parent a lump sum at the birth of a child accrues social protection. The list of necessary documents includes a work book, a certificate of employment (meaning the second parent), passports.
Holiday to care for the child
Payment begins after the end of the maternity leave and pregnancy. As in the calculation of maternity leave, the calculation period so far can be chosen. This is one previous year or two. Payment is made until the baby reaches three or one and a half years. Vacation does not have to take the mother of the baby. This can be a father, grandfather, grandmother, guardians and other relatives.
The payment is monthly and amounts to 40% of the salary (counted for a year or two). But there is a maximum limit to this allowance. If the calculation is made for the year, then it is 13,833 rubles, if for two - 14,625 rubles. Moreover, the regional coefficient is not added. There is also a minimum bar. For the first child, it is 2325 rubles, for the second, third, and so on - 4651 rubles. This money was laid on the child reaching one and a half years, after this age and up to three years, the amount is only 50 rubles.
As well as the application for benefits at birth, documents for leave are transferred to social security or accounting of the employer. Non-working citizens are assigned a minimum payment amount.
These are federal payments applicable in all regions of Russia, but some additional entities provide for some additional payments, compensations, and benefits. Somewhere, monthly benefits are assigned to pregnant women, in other regions provide additional payments for a third child.
