You decided to receive social assistance from the state ... What documents are needed to apply for child allowance? Let's look at what these payments are and what types they are.
So, in Russia, children's benefits in 2013 are of the following types: a one-time payment at birth, help for mothers raising a baby up to one and a half years, and the so-called "children" who pay for children until they reach the age of 18. If all citizens can count on the first two types of
social assistance , then in order to receive monthly help for children, you need to be included in the category of
low-income families, that is, have an income below the subsistence level.
How much will they pay and where to get children's benefits?
For the birth of a child, a Russian woman will receive ten thousand rubles, a Muscovite - 15 500 rubles. Until the age of one and a half years, a mother can expect 40% of her salary or one thousand five hundred rubles if the child is the first, they will pay a little more for the second - three thousand rubles, “children’s” in each region have their own, a minimum of 70 rubles, a maximum of 1000 rubles in Moscow. You can apply for any social payments in a service called “One Window” and refers to the local government administration.
What documents are needed to prepare a child allowance in case of the birth of a baby and care for him?
It is necessary to write an application for the due payment, provide the passports of the parents, the birth certificate of the baby and a copy of it. In addition, you must take at work a certificate stating that such social assistance was not assigned to you earlier, as well as a certificate on the amount of your mother’s wages for the previous twelve months.
What documents are needed to apply for child allowance for children over 3 years old, but who are not yet 18?
This is a bit trickier. Such payments will be assigned only if the income per person in the family (parents with children) does not exceed the cost of living. Everywhere it is considered differently: somewhere more, and somewhere less. You must provide passports for adults, a certificate of extract on the composition of the family (in some places they require an extract from the house book), a document on the birth of children, a certificate of income received for the last three months from the place of work or the amount of pensions and other subsidies, scholarships for a child, if he is studying in a secondary or higher educational institution. In any case, if one (or both) of the parents does not work, you need a work book with a record of the last job. The service will calculate all your income. Still need a certificate of confirmation from the place of study of children from school. After that, a payment is prescribed.

Before you think about what documents are needed to apply for a child’s allowance, decide how much you really need them. Payments themselves are negligible, but this status gives the right to receive additional bonuses in the form of free meals at school and spa treatment. At the same time, you should not even start this business if you work without official employment or if the father of the child does not pay child support, as they are also considered income. You will have to run a lot to prove that you do not have them. Whether the benefit of your nerves is worth it is up to you.
