Step-by-step instructions for receiving benefits. Additional accrual to maternity and pregnancy benefits

Improvement demographic situation in the country - primary goal government of the Russian Federation. In this regard, at the birth of one, two or more children, new parents are entitled to certain benefits. These include benefits, the amounts of which can be established at the federal and regional level and depend on several factors.

Indexation for 2018

In 2018, the amounts of child benefits were again indexed to the level of inflation that was observed in previous years. In this regard, there were new values, which are paid to parents.

They change every year, and 2018 is no exception. Since this year it has been installed new order , in accordance with which there is an annual increase in payments. It complies with Federal Law No. 444.

According to new accepted rules, the amount of child support payments must be reviewed every year. This takes into account the price increase last year.

The coefficient by which these amounts are indexed is determined by the forces of the state, this happens in January. So, in 2018, Russian statistical committee an indicator was set at 102,5% inflation. According to these data new coefficient re-registration of child benefits amounted to 1,025 .

According to Federal Law No. 460, in May 2018, the minimum minimum wage was indexed in Russia.

Dimensions and legal framework

The size of payments is regulated by the appropriate legislative framework. Exist a few changes in values ​​in 2018.

Billing period

To carry out settlement actions, it is necessary to take into account earnings for the past two years and divide its amount on day 730, income will be received for the day. The maximum daily earnings are assumed to be 2017.81 rubles.

Minimum amount of average estimated income in Lately grew from May 1, 2018. Since this date, the minimum wage has increased up to RUB 11,163.

What else do you need to know

From May 2018, if an employee has no earnings within the billing period or does not exceed the minimum wage, then it is worth using the minimum size wages , equal to 11,163 rubles.

It is on the basis of these legislative principles are produced key calculations. As for the benefits themselves, we can highlight the following is a list of them, which takes place according to data for 2018.

1. Maternity benefit(maternity payments), which is the average income.

From the state and social protection authorities

If parents have official employment, most payments can be received at your place of work. If it is not there, you should contact government bodies, in particular - in the Social Insurance Fund at the place of registration of the child (and, concurrently, the parents).

It is also worth remembering that working men and women can count on a larger size and number of payments than unemployed citizens who are parents.

In this regard, the changes concern the maximum base for accrued insurance premiums (718 and 755 thousand rubles, respectively), as well as the duration of the billing period of 730 days.
2. The minimum wage is also taken into account. It is used in settlement transactions to determine the minimum amount of maternity benefits if the insurance period at the time the woman went on maternity leave does not exceed six months. For 2018 it is equal to 11,163 rubles.
3. From May 1, 2018, fixed amounts of benefits aimed at supporting children have been increased. In particular, we're talking about about minimum indicators monthly amount(for the first child – 4465.20 rubles, for the second – 6284.65 rubles).

Child care benefits

These payments have a broad classification and depend on certain circumstances.

Additional information on benefits is presented in this video.

As everyone knows, “children’s” benefits are accrued upon the birth of a child. As stated in "About state benefits citizens with children”, child benefits include:

• allowance for seeking consultation and registration in early pregnancy (up to 12 weeks);
• one-time benefit after the birth of a child (based on a certificate from the maternity hospital);
• monthly allowance child care up to the age of 1.5 years;
• maternity benefit (payment sick leave).

All listed benefits A woman who gives birth to a child receives it from her employer. The principle of accrual, as well as the upper and lower limits of child benefits, is good for everyone to know - both managers and mothers.

Increase in child benefits in 2017

This year, “children’s” benefits increased not from January 1, 2017, but from February 1, 2017 - by a factor of 1.054 (this amount is determined by the increase consumer basket). This means that benefits in January remain the same, but in February they change. Everyone needs to take note of this fact.

And now - attention: look at how benefits have changed at the beginning of 2017:

1. Allowance for registration up to 12 weeks: from January 1, 2017, a woman received - 581.73 rubles, from February 1, 2017 she began to receive - 613.14 rubles.
2. One-time benefit at the birth of a child: from January 1, 2017, a woman received - 15,512.65 rubles, from February 1, 2017 she began to receive - 16,350.33 rubles.
3. Monthly child care benefit up to the age of 1.5 years: calculated as a percentage of actual earnings for the two previous years (the highest figure is 40%).

Please note that when calculating this benefit, certain criteria have been developed by law; their levels in 2017 are as follows:

• at the birth of the first child, the lower criterion - from January 1, 2017 was 2908.62 rubles, from February 1, 2017 it was 3065.69 rubles.
• at the birth of the second child and subsequent ones, the lower criterion - from January 1, 2017 was 5817.24 rubles, from February 1, 2017 it was 6131.37 rubles.
• the upper criterion for women who had to quit during maternity leave- from January 1, 2017 was 11,634.50 rubles, from February 1, 2017 it was 12,262.76 rubles.
• the upper criterion for employees - from January 1, 2017 - 21,554.85 rubles, from February 1, 2017 - 23,120.66 rubles.

4. Payment for pregnancy and childbirth (“maternity benefits”): the basis for it is the sick leave certificate submitted by the woman from medical institution, and the calculation is made upon the fact real earnings over a period of two previous years(i.e. 2016 and 2015).

The amount of the benefit is calculated from the number of days of sick leave:

• in 140 days, the lower benefit amount from February 1, 2017 is RUB 34,473.
• in 156 days, the lower benefit amount from February 1, 2017 is 38,413 rubles.
• in 194 days, the lower benefit amount from February 1, 2017 is 47,770 rubles.

The above benefit is paid to women once upon presentation of sick leave.

Maternity leave for a woman and calculation of its payment

Calculating average daily earnings woman giving birth, it is necessary to take into account the actual accrued wages for the period of time in the two previous years (this year for 2015 and 2016). We must remember well that the maximum benefit from the Social Insurance Fund this year is affected by the tariff of 670,000 rubles. for 2015 and tariff in 718,000 rub. for 2016. Don't forget that This year's billing period is 731 days, after all last year marked as leap year

It follows that the maximum payment for maternity leave from social insurance funds can be calculated as follows:

• with a sick leave duration of 140 days: (670+718)/731=1898.80 rubles. × 140 days = 265,832 rubles;
• with a sick leave duration of 194 days: RUB 1,898.80. × 194 days = 368,367 rubles;
• with a sick leave duration of 156 days: RUB 1,898.80. × 156 days = 29,6212 rubles.

As everyone knows, the minimum amount of maternity leave directly depends on the minimum wage. Since the minimum wage has not changed since January 1 of this year and is 7,500 rubles, it is easy and simple to calculate the minimum average earnings (7,500 rubles × 24 / 731). This calculation can be used if the salary of a woman giving birth is lower.

Now let’s calculate the minimum maternity benefit in January 2017:

• with a sick leave duration of 140 days: (7500 × 24)/731 = 246.24 rubles. × 140 days = 34,473 rub.
• with a sick leave duration of 194 days: 246.24 rubles. × 194 days = 47,770 rub.
• with a sick leave duration of 156 days: RUB 246.24. × 156 days = 38,413 rubles.

Do I need to recalculate benefits up to 1.5 years?

The answer to this question is unequivocal - no. General rule states: child care benefits up to 1.5 years old are assigned once and only on the start date of the vacation.

The benefit will need to be recalculated if there is a break in care leave in 2016, and the need for it arises again in 2017. In view of the fact that for a new vacation issued in 2017, the years 2015 and 2016 will be taken into account. And, of course, the benefit amount may change significantly.

Maternity capital in 2017

The amount of maternity capital for the second child this year will not change and will be RUB 45,3026. The last certificate increase occurred two years ago, and the amount has not changed since then.

The Government of the Russian Federation associates the freezing of maternity capital with the budget deficit and lower inflation. In addition, the price of 1 sq.m of housing (where capital funds mainly go) in our country is not growing, but is even decreasing.

Increase in the minimum wage from July 1, 2017

It must be remembered that from July 1, 2017, the minimum wage was increased to 7,800 rubles, therefore, this will affect all types of benefits.

Pavel Timokhin, Head of Accounting Consulting Department "

10.05.2017, 21:36

Due to the increase in the minimum wage to 7,800 rubles, the amount of child benefits has changed since July 1, 2017. What are the new child benefit levels? Is it necessary to recalculate benefits already assigned? Has the minimum amount of child care benefits increased? What are the amounts of maternity benefits? WITH similar questions Employees are happy to turn to the HR department (despite the fact that the accounting department is usually involved in calculating benefits). Therefore, we will consider changes in the amounts of child benefits from July 2017 in more detail, and we will also provide a convenient table with the new amounts of child benefits.

What benefits are considered “children’s”

• allowance for registration in early dates pregnancy;
• lump sum benefit for the birth of a child;
• monthly allowance for child care up to 1.5 years;
• maternity benefits (“maternity benefits”).

At the same time, we note that in some regions of the Russian Federation there is pilot project FSS for payment of benefits directly from the fund’s budget. FSS units in the experimental regions themselves calculate and pay “children’s” benefits to employees.

If an organization or individual entrepreneur has employees to whom he is obliged to pay “children’s” benefits, then the employer should know the amount of benefits, including the amount of child benefits from July 1, 2017. So, let's talk about the sizes that have changed several times (including indexed) this year.

Benefit amounts in January 2017

There has been no indexation of child benefits since January 1, 2017. Therefore, in January 2017, employers should have paid child benefits to employees in the same amounts as in 2016. We present in the table the amounts of benefits that are determined by law in fixed amounts and are subject to annual indexation:

February indexation 2017

As we have already said, the “children’s” benefits shown in the table are subject to annual indexation. At the same time, maternity benefits (“maternity benefits”) are not subject to state indexation.

In 2017, legislators provided for indexation of 1.54% from February 1, 2017 (Government Resolution Russian Federation dated January 26, 2017 No. 88). In this regard, the amount of “children’s” benefits has increased since February. Here are the indexed sizes:

Regional coefficients

In areas and localities where regional coefficients for wages, “children’s” benefits (both in January 2017 and from February 1, 2017) will be higher - they need to be additionally increased by the amount of the increasing coefficient (Article 5 of Law No. 81-FZ).

Child benefits from July 1, 2017

From July 1, 2017, the minimum wage increased to 7,800 rubles. But did such an increase affect the amount of child benefits from July 1, 2017? Let's look at this in more detail.

Maternity benefit

The new minimum wage (RUB 7,800) affected the calculation of maternity benefits from July 1, 2017 in the following cases:

• if in billing period there were no payments or their amount was small;
• if the employee’s insurance experience at the time of granting benefits was six months.

What is a billing period

The billing period is two calendar years preceding the start of maternity leave (from January 1 to December 31). Accordingly, if a woman goes on maternity leave, say, in July 2017, then the billing period will be 2015-2016.

New minimum maternity benefit amount

We immediately consider it appropriate to remind you that an employee who is assigned maternity benefits has the right to contact the accounting department to replace one or two years of the billing period with other years (if there is no earnings in the billing period or it is very small). The accountant should replace the years while simultaneously meeting 3 conditions:

1. a woman wants to change the years in which she was on maternity leave or parental leave;
2. the years selected for replacement precede the billing period (letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated August 3, 2015 No. 17-1/OOG-1105);
3. As a result of changing years, the benefit amount will become larger.

But if there is no right to change years, then the accountant will need to calculate the maternity benefit from the minimum wage - in the minimum amount. In such a situation, it is necessary to determine the minimum average daily earnings using the following formula:

Minimum average daily earnings = minimum wage at the beginning of maternity leave x 24 / 730

From July 1, 2017, the minimum wage is 7,800 rubles. Accordingly, from July 1, the minimum average daily earnings for calculating benefits is 256.438356 rubles. (RUB 7,800 × 24 months) / 730. Let’s give an example of calculating child benefits from July 1 using the new value average daily earnings:

An example of calculating maternity benefits from July 2017

A.V. Nikolaeva wishes to go on maternity leave from July 28, 2017. The billing period is from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016. There was no earnings during the billing period. Insurance experience – 7 months. Regional coefficient does not apply. The minimum average daily earnings is 256.438356 rubles. (7800 rubles × 24 months) / 730. Daily allowance – 256.438356 rubles. (RUB 256.438356 × 100%). As a result, the amount of A.V.’s benefit Nikolaeva is over 140 calendar days maternity leave, calculated from the minimum wage in the minimum permissible size, will be 35,901.37 rubles. (RUB 256.438356 × 140 days).

Let us recall that maternity leave is a legally established paid period of 140, 156 or 194 days, which is entitled to every woman to give birth to a child and restore her health.

Until July 1, 2017, the minimum wage was set at 7,500 rubles. And if maternity leave began in 2017 (from February 1 to June 30), then the minimum average daily earnings for calculation maternity benefit should be taken equal to 246.575342 rubles. (RUB 7,500 × 24 months / 730). This value is used for further calculation of benefits if it turns out to be greater than the actual average daily earnings of the employee. The minimum amounts of maternity benefits before June 30, 2017 were as follows:

• RUB 34,520.55 (246.575342 rubles × 140 days) – in the general case;
• RUB 47,835.62 (246.575342 rubles x 194 days) – in case of multiple pregnancy;
• RUB 38,465.75 (RUR 246.575342 x 156 days) – for complicated childbirth.

From July 1, 2017 the minimum size maternity payments you need to calculate from the new minimum average daily earnings 256.438356 rubles. Here are the new values ​​of minimum maternity benefits from July 1, 2017 for different lengths of leave:

• RUB 35,901.37 (256.438356 × 140 days) – in the general case;
• RUB 49,749.04 (256.438356 x 194 days) – in case of multiple pregnancy;
• RUR 40,004.38 (256.438356 x 156 days) – for complicated childbirth.

Let's compare minimum values maternity benefits from the latest minimum wage in the table:

If the experience is less than 6 months

At the start of maternity leave, a woman’s work experience may be less than six months. This happens, for example, if this is your first job. Then maternity leave for a full calendar month should not exceed the minimum wage (Part 3 of Article 11 Federal Law dated December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ). In areas with regional coefficients - in an amount not exceeding the minimum wage, taking into account such coefficients.

When calculating maternity benefits for less than six months of service, you should use the minimum wage in effect in the month the maternity leave begins. That is, if the vacation began, for example, in June 2017, and ended in October, then in order to limit the amount of benefits in June, you need to rely on the minimum wage in the amount of 7,500 rubles, and in July, August, September and October - 7,800 rubles. The accountant should calculate the maximum daily allowance for each month using the following formula:

How to calculate minimum allowance with less than 6 months of experience

Maximum daily benefit for less than 6 months of service = minimum wage in force in the month of vacation / number of calendar days in the month of maternity leave

Accordingly, if we are talking, say, about maternity leave in July 2017, then the maximum daily benefit for this month will be 251.6129 rubles. (7800 rubles / 31 days), since in July 2017 there are 31 calendar days. Let us give an example of calculating benefits in such a situation.

Example of calculation for less than 6 months of experience

L.S. Sadovskaya has been going on maternity leave since June 21, 2017. It will end on November 8, 2017. In the billing period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016, she has no income. Insurance experience – 5 months and 1 day. The regional coefficient does not apply.

Let's determine the average daily earnings from the minimum wage, which was applied at the beginning of maternity leave (that is, in June). The average daily earnings will be 246.58 rubles. (RUB 7,500 × 24 months / 730 days). Accordingly, the daily allowance will be 246.58 rubles. (RUR 246.58 × 100%).

The maximum daily benefit depending on the number of calendar days is as follows:

• in June – 250 rub. (7500 rub. / 30 calendar days);
• July, August and October – 251.6129 rub. (7800 rubles / 31 calendar days);
• September and November – 260 rub. (7800 rub. / 30 calendar days).

Now let's compare the size daily allowance from the minimum wage with a maximum daily allowance for each month of maternity leave. And it turns out that the daily allowance from the minimum wage does not exceed the maximum daily allowance in all months of maternity leave:

• RUR 246.58< 250 р.;
• RUR 246.58< 251,6129 р.;
• RUR 246.58< 260 р.

Thus, the accountant has the right to calculate the allowance from the daily allowance calculated from the minimum wage - 246.58 rubles. As a result, the amount of benefit to L.S. Sadovskaya for 140 calendar days of maternity leave will be 34,520.54 rubles. (246.58 rubles × 140 days), where 140 days is the duration of maternity leave.

Maximum sizes of maternity

As for the maximum amounts of maternity benefits, they have not changed since July 1, 2017, since the maximum amount of the minimum wage does not affect in any way. For calculation maximum amount maternity leave from 2017, you need to take into account the maximum amount of average daily earnings. It is calculated using a formula that takes into account not the minimum wage, but the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for the billing period.

In 2015, the maximum value of the base was 670,000 rubles. (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 4, 2014 No. 1316), and in 2016 – 718,000 rubles. (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 26, 2015 No. 1265).

That is, in 2017, the maximum average earnings are taken into account as 1901.37 rubles. (RUR 670,000 + RUR 718,000) / 730. Accordingly, as can be seen from the table below, maximum limits from July 1, 2017, remained at the same levels.

Child care benefit from July 1, 2017

The employer must pay child care benefits to the employee monthly in an amount equal to 40% of average earnings, but not less minimum size(Clause 1, Article 11.2 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ).

The minimum care allowance has increased

The minimum basic amount of child care benefits is established by Part 1 of Article 15 of the Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ and is:

• when caring for the first child - 1500 rubles. per month;
• when caring for the second and subsequent children - 3000 rubles. per month.

These amounts are annually indexed by the appropriate coefficient. Taking into account all indexation coefficients, as of February 1, 2017, the minimum child care benefits were as follows:

• RUB 3,065.69 – for the first child;
• 6131, 37 rub. – for the second and subsequent children.

However, due to the increase in the minimum wage, the minimum amount of child benefit will increase from July 1, 2017. After all, the amount of the minimum benefit (for the first child) from July 1, 2017 cannot be less than the amount calculated from the new minimum wage, namely 3,120 rubles (7,800 rubles x 40%). However, you should only use the new value if your maternity leave started on or after 1 July 2017. At the same time, the “minimum wage” for caring for the second and subsequent children does not change. It remains in the amount of 6131 rubles on and after July 1.

The maximum care allowance has not changed

The maximum amount of child care benefit is not limited. However, the amount of average daily earnings on which this benefit is calculated is limited.

It has been established that the amount of average daily earnings for calculating benefits cannot exceed the amount limit values base for calculating insurance premiums for the two years preceding the year of parental leave, divided by 730 (Part 3.3 of Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ). Therefore, to calculate the maximum amount of average daily earnings, use the formula:

Maximum average daily earnings = sum of the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating Social Insurance contributions for the two previous years / 730

Therefore, if a woman’s vacation begins in 2017, then in the calculations we should take the values ​​of the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for 2015 and 2016

Taking into account the indicated values ​​​​of the marginal base, in 2017 the maximum value of the average daily earnings for calculating the monthly care allowance is 1901.37 rubles. (RUR 670,000 + RUR 718,000) / 730. That is, the calculations apply exactly the same principle as when determining the maximum maternity benefit.

Now let’s calculate the maximum average earnings for whole month. For these purposes, we multiply the average daily earnings by the average monthly number of calendar days - 30.4 (Part 5.1 of Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ). In 2017 the maximum size average monthly earnings to calculate the benefit will be 57,801.64 rubles. (RUR 1,901.37 × 30.4).

The amount of the monthly childcare benefit for a child up to 1.5 years old is generally equal to 40% of the average monthly earnings (Part 1, Article 15 of Law No. 81-FZ). Therefore, in 2017, the maximum amount of monthly benefit per child will be 23,120.66 rubles. (RUB 57,801.64 × 40%). This maximum amount of child care benefits applies throughout 2017. And, as you can see, the increase in the minimum wage from July 1, 2017 simply could not affect it

Recalculation of child benefits

If the right to leave to care for the first child arose before July 1 and the accountant calculated the minimum benefit (RUB 3,065.69), then no recalculation should be made. However, if the vacation began on July 1, 2017 or later, then the woman is entitled to 3,120 rubles for each month. Accordingly, if you paid the woman less, then you need to recalculate and pay extra.

You will also need to review and pay additional maternity benefits if, after July 1, 2017, you assigned them without taking into account the increased minimum wage in the cases described above (no earnings in the billing period or less than six months of service).

Benefit amounts from July 1: summary table

So, we have shown with examples how changes in the minimum wage affected the amount of child benefits from July 1, 2017. However, some “children’s” benefits have not changed in any way due to the increase in the minimum wage.
