Families with children are usually supported in all countries. Today we will get acquainted with childbirth benefits in Russia. What and under what circumstances can newly-minted parents claim? What documents will be required for state support? Where to go under certain circumstances? Having understood all this, the family will be able to cope with the upcoming paperwork in the shortest possible time. To do this is not as difficult as it seems. The main thing is to know how to act.
Types of Compensation
Childbirth allowance - monetary compensation, which is due to parents (one of them) when the baby is born. Such a measure of support for the population can express in different ways.
Today, regional and federal payments are known. In the first case, the nuances of processing and receiving money are dictated by a specific city. In the second, the conditions for requesting compensation are the same for all citizens.
In addition, Russians may encounter such measures of state support:
- one-time allowance;
- monthly allowance;
- maternal capital.
In reality, everything is not as difficult as it seems. There are a lot of payments, but making them, if you follow certain instructions, is not difficult.
Employment Dependence
What birth benefits do all families have? The answer to this question directly depends on the employment of the applicant. What does it mean?
The thing is that state support is provided to all families with children. It doesn't matter if the parents of the kids work or not. Nevertheless, employed legal representatives of newborns can rely on a larger amount and amount of benefits.
Disabled citizens are entitled to less than a variety of government support measures. Basic compensation is paid to them in minimum amounts.
Only individual benefits for the birth of a child are in no way dependent on employment. They rely on everyone, without exception, in the same size. For example, maternity capital can be attributed to such.
What is supposed to be idle
What benefits are given at birth? To begin, consider the lists of relevant payments in general terms. Let's start with unemployed citizens.
If the applicant does not have an official place of employment, he may request:
- compensation for registration in the antenatal clinic during pregnancy;
- payment of a one-time type for childbirth;
- monthly allowance up to 1.5 years old child.
It's all. No further substantial payments are made to the woman and the family as a whole. In any case, if we talk about federal benefits.
At the regional level, one-time compensation is required for increasing demographics in the country. For example, in Kaliningrad, you can get 3,000 rubles. The childbirth allowance is issued to both working and non-employed parents.
For working
Now you can consider the money that rely on employed moms and dads in connection with the replenishment in the family. This is the most common scenario.
If the applicant parent is employed, he may receive, in addition to the compensations already listed:
- maternity payments;
- money for caring for a baby up to 3 years;
- additional benefits for childbirth (introduced since 2018).
Only women are entitled to maternity compensation. Men can go on maternity leave and receive a monthly birth allowance. But fathers will not receive the money allocated to expectant mothers before childbirth.
For military wives
A separate category of recipients of state support are military families. They are entitled to all the money listed above, but in large amounts.
Spouses of the military are supposed to:
- monthly allowances for the care of babies, if the father serves on conscription;
- survivor's pension (if the woman’s husband has died).
We will talk about how much you can get in a particular case later. To begin, consider the list of remaining payments.
Other support measures
The amount of the childbirth benefit depends on several factors. Therefore, approximate guidelines for payments to the population will be given below.
What else can families with young children qualify for? At the moment, Russia additionally relies on:
- maternity capital of the Federal type;
- regional maternal capital;
- compensation for caring for a child until he reaches 3 years of age (not everywhere).
More detailed information is best specified in a specific region. Some families are eligible for co-payments until the children are 16 years old. But such support measures for the direct birth of babies have nothing to do.
LCD Accounting
Now consider the childbirth allowance that a family can receive in a particular case. The first payment is for early registration in the LCD. It is issued to all women who came to the antenatal clinic for pregnancy in the first trimester.
At the moment, under any circumstances, a woman can get 628 rubles 46 kopecks. The availability of employment does not affect the amount of payment.
If a girl later turned to the LCD for registration, she is not even entitled to such a payment. It is issued after childbirth, along with the rest of the money.
By birth
Payment of a lump-sum allowance at the birth of a child is not carried out immediately. The applicant first prepares the documents and then submits them for consideration. Only after that will it be possible to get a certain amount.
Each mother (or father) can apply for a one-time maternity allowance. It is paid by the state. Employment does not in any way affect such compensation.
The amount of support is 16,759 rubles 8 kopecks. They will pay so much to parents who decide to adopt the baby. Funds are allocated for each child in equal amounts.
Maternity money
The benefits provided at birth are varied. For example, working mothers are entitled to maternity benefits. Usually, the appropriate funds are issued before childbirth - at 30 weeks.
How much can I get for the decree? The answer depends on the salary at work and on the duration of the leave. Below are the minimum amounts of childbirth benefits:
- 43 675 rubles 39 kopecks - an ordinary pregnancy;
- 48 667 rubles 32 kopecks - complicated pregnancy;
- 60 522 rubles 18 kopecks - multiple pregnancy.
There are maximum compensation sizes. They are established at the legislative level. The limit amounts will be 282,493 rubles 40 kopecks, 314,778 rubles 8 kopecks and 391,454 rubles 80 kopecks, respectively. Apply for "maternity" must be directly to the employer.
Up to one and a half years
Now you should pay attention to the monthly benefits. Let's start with paying up to 1.5 years old baby. This measure of state support relies on both working and unemployed.
If the parents do not work (namely, the applicant has no place for official labor), they will receive monthly:
- 3 142 rubles 33 kopecks - for one baby;
- 6,284 rubles 65 kopecks - for the second and subsequent children.
That is, the allowance for the birth of a second child increases. And with the third, it remains exactly the same as with the appearance of the second baby in the family. This is quite normal.
Speaking about the employed parents, it can be noted that the amount of the allowance for the birth of a child for maternity leave will depend on the average earnings of the recipient. 40% of the salary is issued, but not more than 24 536 rubles 57 kopecks per month.
Leave for the upbringing of a newborn to paid parents is paid up to three years. If the recipient decided to return to the company earlier, the compensation will be canceled.
Up to three years
In some regions, there is still a payment for caring for a baby up to three years old. Corresponding money is given to non-working people.
Usually, few pay attention to such a birth allowance. After all, the size of the corresponding state aid is too small. It is about 50 rubles a month. Therefore, the bulk of the citizens simply refuses such money. The paperwork for the appointment is serious. This is what repels people. The allowance is so small that people do not remember it at all.
The military and their families
As we have said, there are payments that are only due to the wives of the military. What is the right of the spouse of a soldier?
In 2018, citizens apply for:
- payment for pregnancy - 26 539 rubles (for wives of "conscripts");
- for the upbringing of the baby to "one and a half" - 11,374 rubles;
- survivor's pension - 2,287 rubles.
No more federal benefits for the birth of a second child or subsequent military are allowed. Only if the family becomes large.
Capital for mothers
The payment of a lump-sum allowance at the birth of a child is carried out only after the parents declare their rights. Otherwise, money will not be allocated from the state budget.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that each family in which more than 1 child is brought up can count on federal maternity capital. This is a payment, which is executed in the FIU. It does not depend on the number of children. The amount allocated as a support to the cell of society is dictated by the state annually.
Unlike all the funds listed above, citizens can spend maternity capital only for certain needs. Namely:
- to increase mom's pension;
- to improve living conditions (repair or purchase of housing);
- to treat babies;
- for teaching minors.
The amount of maternity capital in 2018 is 453 thousand 26 rubles. Since 2015, this amount has not been indexed. In such amounts, mother’s capital will be paid until 2020.
Money to the needy
Since 2018, Russia has been paying a monthly allowance to the poor. Families in which children are born after 2018 are entitled to appropriate compensation. It is issued primarily to working cells of society.
How much will be allocated and until what time? The new payment of 2018 is up to 1.5 years old baby. You will have to apply for benefits at birth 2 times: from 0 to 12 months of a newborn and from a year to 1.5 years.
The amount of funds depends on the cost of living in a particular region. On average, in Russia, a family will be given 10,000 rubles for a baby. In 2019 - 11,000. Over time, they want to gradually increase the corresponding state aid.
Circulation period
How quickly do you need to apply for certain benefits? There is a fixed period during which families can apply for state assistance.
The bulk of the studied payments is issued if the request of the established sample was sent to the registration authority no later than 6 months after the baby was born. It is this restriction that is better to focus on.
Maternity capital has no special deadlines for receipt. The main thing is that the family should have at least 2 children. It is advisable to contact the Pension Fund as soon as possible for a standard certificate.
Where to send the request
And what bodies are involved in processing and issuing the studied payments? The answer depends on who the applicant is.
Non-working citizens may apply to:
- MFC;
- social protection services.
Employed persons must apply for benefits to their employers. There are no other options.
The exception is the federal capital. It can be requested directly from the FIU. This is the most common scenario.
Large families
The allowance for the birth of a third child allocated to parents will be exactly the same as in the case of the second baby. Nevertheless, if there are more than 2 minors in the cell of society, it will be considered large.
In the regions, there are mainly compensations for the third and subsequent children. Most often, lump sum payments. They are called maternal capital. The amount of funds varies from 10 to 100 thousand rubles. More accurate information will have to find out in a particular city.
Additional support measures
The payment of a lump-sum allowance at the birth of a child in a large family is not the only state bonus. The cells of society can get some other benefits.
A large family in Russia is entitled to:
- mortgage discounts;
- 50% reduction in utilities;
- the issuance of free medicines;
- permits to sanatoria and camps;
- free meals in educational institutions, school uniforms and textbooks;
- the right to visit a cultural institution free of charge once a month;
- scholarships for university students;
- benefits for admission to kindergartens and schools.
The exact list of "bonuses" for large families directly depends on the place of residence of the family. You can find out what is necessary for such a cell of society in the bodies of social protection of the population.
Documents for Payments
An application for a lump-sum allowance at the birth of a child, as well as when drawing up monthly assistance to the family, is submitted only if there is a certain package of papers.
Most often, a family is required to:
- statement;
- income statements;
- birth certificates of all children;
- certificates from the place of work of the second parent stating that he does not receive any benefits;
- labor books;
- certificates from the place of study;
- extracts from the place of residence of minors;
- a statement of the birth of the baby (issued at the registry office).
That's all. Certificates of benefits at birth are required only in the original. Copies of them will not be considered by the registration authority.
Confirmation of non-receipt of benefits can be obtained from both the employer and the employment centers. Lack of employment will also have to be confirmed.
Important: when receiving payments, you must specify the details of the account to which the money will be transferred. It is advisable to attach the original passbook or bank card.
Documents for mothercapital
A slightly different package of papers is useful in order to obtain maternity capital. In this case, applicants will be required to:
- statement;
- passports of parents;
- birth certificates of all children;
- certificates of registration of minors;
- SNILs of all participants in the process.
This will be enough. Additionally, parents can attach citizenship inserts. Such paper is required only if it is available or if there are problems with determining citizenship.
Right to refuse
The birth allowance for the first child is the most difficult to issue. Usually with subsequent children to cope with the task is much easier. The main thing is to clearly know how to act.
Citizens may refuse to receive state support after childbirth. To do this, you simply do not need to submit applications of the established forms to the registration authorities.
But can the family be denied appropriate payments? Yes, but this is extremely rare. For example, if:
- one of the parents is already receiving compensation;
- an incomplete set of documents is submitted;
- The term for applying for state aid has expired.
They can’t refuse money without a reason. This is a violation of the law.
Important: some benefits at birth are provided only for natural children. Adopted babies in this case will not be counted.
Conclusion
We found out what the family in which the child is born has the right. All of the listed measures to support the population are relevant in 2018.
In general, the postpartum algorithm looks like this:
- Register your baby in the registry office.
- Register a child a residence permit.
- Apply for SNILS.
- Collect listed packages of papers.
- Submit a request for cash from the state to the registration authority.
That's all. Now it’s clear how to act in a family in a particular case. If you prepare in advance, paperwork for obtaining benefits at the birth of the first child will cause a minimum of problems.
