How much do children pay, up to what age and for how many years are child care benefits paid? How to apply for Putin's benefits for your first child Benefit from 1

Child birth benefit in 2020- a one-time payment provided to one of the parents. At birth two or more children This benefit is paid for each child. If the child was stillborn, no benefits are provided.

Amount of child birth benefit from February 1, 2019(after indexation by a factor of 1.043) is 17,479 rubles 73 kopecks. If you are an employee of the Far North, the benefit amount will increase by the regional coefficient.

A one-time benefit for the birth of a child is paid either at the place of work (for working recipients) or at the place of residence by the Social Insurance Fund (for non-working, full-time students). If one spouse works and the other does not, the benefit will be paid to the one who works.

Documents for receiving child birth benefits

For receiving benefits for the birth of a child in 2020 the following must be submitted documentation:

application for benefits

birth certificate of the child(ren)

a certificate from the other parent’s place of work stating that he does not receive this benefit

a certified extract from the work book or other document about the last place of work (if the benefit is paid by social security authorities)

divorce certificate - if this fact exists

These documents must be submitted no later than six months from the date of birth of the child.

Within ten days from the date of submission of documents child birth benefit must be appointed. It is paid as follows: by the employer - within the specified ten days, by social security authorities - no later than the 26th day of the month following the month of submission of documents for benefits.

Many parents are interested in the payment of child care benefits for children under 3 years of age. Who is eligible to receive payments in 2019 - 2020? What is the payout amount and how is it calculated? What kind of paperwork do you need to collect to receive benefits? How do maternity leave payments affect child care benefits? How many payments can you receive and how to calculate them? How can I get compensation if my child is not given a place in a general education institution?

All these questions concern young parents and people who are preparing to become parents.

Very often, social service workers themselves do not know all the nuances regarding the payment of child benefits, and therefore cannot provide parents with complete and reliable information on these issues.

You should be aware that the amount of benefits will depend on the age of the child. The first child is entitled to one payment; for the second, third and subsequent children the state pays larger sums.

After the birth of the third child, the family is recognized as having many children and additional payments and benefits are provided for it.

I would also like to draw attention to the calculation and payment of the governor's allowance. The amount of this compensation is fixed. For the first child six thousand rubles, for the second twelve thousand rubles, for the third (fourth, fifth, etc.) eighteen thousand rubles. But it is paid only to young families in which the parents have not reached thirty years of age.

There is one more nuance in receiving this benefit. It is not intended for children, but specifically for families, so if mom and dad haven’t registered their marriage, they won’t receive the money.

Or, if this is the mother’s second child, and the father’s only the first (that is, the man married the woman when she already had a child/children), then the family will receive an allowance in the amount of six thousand rubles, as for the first born in the new family. If you have any disagreements with your employer or social security authorities or the Social Insurance Fund regarding the calculation and payment of benefits to women, please contact experienced lawyers for a free consultation.

Increase in benefits from 1.5 to 3 years from July 1, 2019

Russia has adopted the next demographic package and from July 1, 2019, for low-income families, the allowance for children from 1.5 to 3 years old will increase many times and amount to about 10,000 rubles instead of the previously accrued 50 rubles per child. We propose to find out who will receive the right to an increased payment, as well as what other innovations the government plans to increase the birth rate.

Let us recall that monthly compensation for parents on parental leave for a child from 1.5 to 3 years old was introduced back in 1994. Since 2001, the payment amount has been fixed at 50 rubles, which was a symbolic amount even at the start of the program, not to mention 2018 and 2019, taking into account several waves of inflation.

1. extension of the child benefit amounting to 40% of wages from 1.5 to 3 years;
2. increase in monthly compensation.

Once again, the issue of meager payments was raised within the framework of the traditional presidential “Direct Line” on June 20, 2019. Answering questions, Vladimir Putin assured young parents that the problem of the 50-ruble payment would be resolved as soon as possible.

The child care allowance for children from 1.5 to 3 years old will be increased from July 1, 2019 to the child's subsistence level established in the region (approximately up to 10,000 rubles).

It is also important for young parents to consider two factors:

1. The state will pay 10,000 rubles to parents and guardians who have officially received low-income status.
2. The amount may differ in different regions of the Russian Federation. Thus, for the Tambov region this figure in 2019 is 8,807 rubles, and for Yakutia – 16,906 rubles.

For more information about what living wages for children are established for different regions of the Russian Federation, see the far right column of the tables.

What about 2020?

On July 24, 2019, the State Duma adopted a law on benefits for the first and second child, by changing the criterion of need (from 1.5 times to twice the cost of living in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation). At the same time, for such families, monthly payments are introduced for the first and second child from 1.5 to 3 years old in the amount of the regional subsistence minimum per child.

Initially, the benefit will be assigned until the child reaches the age of one year. And then, if the parents submitted a new application, until the child reaches the age of two, and then until he reaches the age of three. Thus, a claim for benefits can be submitted up to three years. Now this period is 1.5 years.

Payments will begin on January 1, 2020 for the first and second child from 1.5 to 3 years old in the amount of the subsistence minimum per child in the subject of the Federation.

Who can receive benefits

At the place of work, in addition to the mother, in order to receive a monthly allowance for children, the following may apply:

• Guardian;
• Adoptive parent;
• Father;
• Grandmother;
• Adult brother or sister;
• Grandfather.

In general, any person who provides direct care for the baby. Let's take a closer look at the categories of women entitled to the benefit under discussion:

• Mothers with first or second disability group
• Military mothers
• Women studying part-time
• Military personnel
• Dismissed due to liquidation of the organization
• Unemployed mothers undergoing retraining
• Women who have children with disabilities from old relatives

Some interesting facts about receiving this compensation:

• The monthly benefit has not changed in size since 1994
• The employer, by paying this compensation to the woman, loses nothing, since taxes will not be charged on these 50 rubles
• Payments are made only if there is an application from a young mother
• The maximum period for applying for benefits is six months from the date of birth of the baby
• The benefit is assigned not from one and a half to three years, but from the birth of the child
• The benefit is considered compensation because it is paid to mothers for the loss of their ability to work
• Payment of compensation is mandatory, and not at the request of the employer.
• Individual entrepreneurs also do not have to pay this compensation to their employees; the obligation rests only with employers-legal entities
• This money is paid from the enterprise’s funds, not from the social insurance fund.

For any questions regarding benefits for up to three years from the employer, you can contact the consultants of our website.

Documents for registration

To apply for child care payments until they reach the age of 3, parents need to collect the following documents:

• Application for benefits
• Work record book
• Child's birth certificate
• A copy of the order on granting parental leave

After the documents are collected, they are presented to the employer in the accounting department.

What will women get who are fired due to the liquidation of the enterprise where they worked? If they do not receive unemployment benefits, then they have every right to receive child benefits.

To do this, they also need to attach to the above documents a certificate stating that they do not receive unemployment benefits.

Documents for benefits are presented to the social protection authority.

After receiving the application and documents, the social protection authorities conduct an inspection within 10 days, after which a decision is made to provide benefits.

Application for benefits

As we have already understood, working parents submit documents for benefits to the accounting department of their enterprise, while the unemployed submit them to the social security authorities.

The application can be submitted either personally or through a representative if he has a power of attorney.

It is also allowed to apply for child benefits through Multifunctional Centers and via the Internet on the government services website.

When an unemployed parent submits documents for benefits to the social security authority, he must present a certificate stating that he does not receive unemployment benefits.

But in the absence of such a certificate, the social security authority is obliged to make a request to the labor exchange and receive this certificate without the participation of the parent. Such an interdepartmental request is carried out within a short time, no more than two days after receiving the application from the parent.

What is the deadline to submit an application?

As soon as the mother of the child goes on maternity leave, she must write an application for payment of benefits. A period of 6 months is allocated for this.

If the application is written later, then the parents will not receive benefits for these six months.

Termination of child benefit payments

If the following conditions occur, the payment of benefits stops on the next day.

So, the conditions for stopping payments:

• A woman returns from maternity leave and returns to work full time.
• If an unemployed mother starts receiving unemployment benefits
• If during maternity leave a woman goes on maternity leave
• If the mother quit of her own free will
• When transferring a child to full state support
• If parents have been deprived of parental rights

Important! The responsibility to inform the employer (or the social security authority) that the above circumstances have occurred rests with the employee himself.

Last news

Drawing a straight line, the President of the Russian Federation announced a new subsidy: starting from January next year, mothers will be paid an allowance for a child from one and a half to three years old in the amount of the minimum subsistence level.

Not all families will receive the increased payment, but only those in need whose income is less than two times the minimum wage. At the moment, mothers receive 50 rubles monthly.

V. Putin agrees that the benefit needs to be indexed, and the Government is ready to increase the amount of payment. According to the President, from January 1, 2020, some families will receive 10,000 - 11,000 rubles for each child.

Note! The support measure will affect over 70% of families with children. The main goal is to increase the birth rate in the country.

The head of the Russian Federation clarified that the new payment will be provided to parents whose total income is below two subsistence levels. At the moment the figure is 11,280 rubles. That is, families with a profit of 45,000 rubles or less will be able to apply for an increased amount of benefits. The support measure will also affect single mothers - they will be paid benefits regardless of their salary level.

Financial assistance is also paid to newborns. In order to support young families, the state decided to pay every month to parents who had their first and second child, an allowance in the amount of the subsistence minimum. Its size depends on the region.

The new bill includes a process that makes it more difficult to receive the increased payment. The main condition is to receive a Mir card, which uses the Russian standard payment system. Using the card will become a requirement from next year.

Types of child benefits in different countries of the world and their size relative to the minimum wage

In all developed countries of the world, the state helps parents raise their children by providing certain benefits or material benefits.

It should be noted that in different countries the need for state support is understood differently: in some countries, primarily single parents can count on state support, in others - large families, and in others - families with little income.

Let's look at what benefits families are entitled to at the birth of children in different countries. To do this, let's study the following table:

As you can see, the amount of child benefits in most cases depends on the number of children in the family, as well as their age. In addition to benefits for the birth of a child (children), as a rule, other types of child benefits are paid.

For example, in Belarus, a benefit is paid for a disabled child up to three years of age, a one-time benefit for women who are registered in the early stages of pregnancy.

In Ukraine, the following additional child benefits are paid: for pregnancy and childbirth, for the adoption of children, as well as benefits for single parents.

In Germany, additional children's benefits include: benefits for single parents, grandparents raising grandchildren, benefits for adoptive parents, guardians and trustees, benefits for disabled children under 25 years of age.

In France, there is an allowance for paying for nanny services, families with children are provided with tax breaks, discounts on the use of transport and accommodation in holiday destinations.

In the UK, guardianship or guardianship benefits and benefits for disabled children are paid.

In addition to regular child benefits, the Swedish authorities pay housing allowances to families with children and make additional payments for large families (if there is more than one child in the family).

In China, benefits are paid to orphans. In Japan, large families have the right to receive discounts in stores.

Benefit for working mother

Officially employed women are paid a monthly allowance for a child up to 1.5 years of age by the employer, and its amount directly depends on her salary at the time of going on maternity leave. The amount of the benefit is equal to 40% of the salary, but cannot exceed 100% of the salary received or the average earnings in the region. Since 2019, the benefit amount has increased to 26,152 rubles. The amount of the monthly child care benefit is calculated per child; if twins are born, the amount increases by 2 times, i.e. equal to 80% of earnings.

If you continue your childcare leave until the age of 3, you cannot count on a monthly childcare allowance. In this case, the mother can only be paid compensation in the amount of 50 rubles.

Child benefit for a working mother

The following should be said about what kind of monthly child benefit a working mother is entitled to: the amount of child benefit on average is 500 rubles, but it is paid only to those who really need it. As a rule, during the first 1.5 years of the mother’s maternity leave, it is paid, but the amount depends on whether the mother is officially married or raising the child alone. Single mothers can count on the maximum benefit amount.

Question answer

Question: Is child benefit really granted from one and a half to three years?

Answer: No, this is incorrect. The start date for benefit payments coincides with the moment the mother goes on maternity leave.

Question: Can an employer not pay the required benefits?

Answer: No, the employer does not have the right to cancel the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation. But parents must submit an application for payment themselves. Without an application, the employer must not make any payments.

Question: If a mother gives birth to twins or triplets, will benefits be paid for each child?

Answer: No, the number of children does not affect the amount of child benefit. The benefit itself is paid to compensate for the fact that the mother is unable to work, being forced to care for the child.

Question: If my employer is a self-employed person, must he pay child benefit?

Answer: No, you shouldn't. By law, child benefits are paid only by legal entities and organizations. Individual entrepreneurs without forming a legal entity are not subject to this obligation.

Thus, we see that child benefits are paid from the employer’s funds, unless the employer is an individual entrepreneur. Funds from the Social Insurance Fund are not included in this payment. Any parent of a child under 3 years of age who cares for him and took leave before the child reaches 3 years of age, who is employed or dismissed due to the cessation of the enterprise and who does not receive unemployment benefits, has the right to receive a monthly payment from the employer’s funds.

Today, payments for the maintenance of children over 3 years of age are one of the options for state financial assistance to families with low incomes. They are also available to those who are raising a child with a recognized disability category. Single mothers and parents with many children also have the right to count on such support. In the article we will tell you what monthly child benefits are after three years in 2020, and we will consider the payment procedure.

Despite the fact that payments for children over three years of age are established at the federal level, funds for making payments to families come from the regional budget, and therefore the rules for receiving cash benefits and their amount are approved by local authorities. At the federal level, only one payment is provided for a child over three years old; a number of other charges are determined by regional regulations.

Peculiarities of granting benefits to children over 3 years of age

As of the current 2017, the law began to allow local authorities to transfer amounts of federal benefits once every 3 months (quarterly), guided by the targeted principle and income level when assigning payments. First of all, those who need them the most will receive funds.

Innovations regarding benefits for children over 3 years of age

In some regions of Russia, additional restrictions have been introduced that affect the ability to receive benefits. An example is the city of Nizhny Novgorod, where local authorities have established a rule according to which parents of minors over three years old can hope for financial assistance only if the income of each family member is below half the amount of the current minimum wage (7,800 rubles).

To calculate the average level of earnings of family members, you need to take the entire amount of the family monthly budget as a whole and divide it by the number of family members.

If the result meets the requirements of regional authorities, the child’s parents can submit an application and a set of documents for the assignment of benefits to them.

General procedure for assigning benefits to children over 3 years of age

Payments for minors after they reach three years of age are a measure of financial support for families with fairly low earnings. They are also available to the mother and father of a child with disabilities, single mothers and mothers of many children.

Funds for these needs come from regional budgets, and therefore the rules for applying for funds and the amount of deductions should be clarified with the regional social protection authorities at the place of registration of a family with children. Read also the article: → "".

• Who is entitled to benefits for a child over three years of age?
• to a mother and father with many children, if the average per capita income of the family is less than the current regional minimum wage,

• guardians and trustees who are unemployed or earn less than the regional minimum wage,

families with a disabled child.

Payments for a child under 14 years of age

A family in need of state support and raising children under fourteen years of age has the right to apply for financial assistance for each minor. Any parent can write an application for transfer of funds, the main thing is that he is registered in the same living space as the child.

If you take care of re-issuing the benefit every year, you can receive it until the minor turns sixteen. And the fact of receiving an education or the type of educational institution, be it a university, academy, institute or lyceum, does not matter.

If the child continues to study at a school institution, but he has already turned sixteen, the payment will continue until he comes of age.

There is a special benefit for a minor who has not yet turned sixteen, assigned to unemployed single mothers. These include women who have a child 300 days after divorcing their spouse or out of wedlock. The payment amount varies from 500 to 1000 rubles and can be accrued either until the minor dependent turns 16 years old, or until the end of his education, if he is receiving education somewhere.

When a minor reaches the age of 16, the benefit stops being credited to the account of his parents, however, payments can be extended if there is a reason for the child to continue studying at school.

Then you can receive benefits for another 2 years until the child becomes an adult.

The procedure for processing payments and the place to apply for their assignment is no different from the procedures for receiving funds before the age of fourteen and sixteen. Funds will be allocated to families especially in need of additional material support. Read also the article: → "".

Payments for a disabled child

A family raising a child with a disability group can also apply for government support. And since the funds are allocated from the budget of the Russian Pension Fund, this benefit can be called a type of social pension. Payment of benefits is assigned only after the provision of a conclusion by a special medical commission establishing the existence of grounds for recognizing the child as disabled.

• Conditions for recognizing a minor as disabled:
• unsatisfactory state of health - illnesses, injuries,
• inability to move independently, learn, communicate, partial/complete loss of ability to care for oneself,

rehabilitation period after an illness.

Funds can be approved for payment only to unemployed parents and guardians who are dependent on a child with the first group of disabilities. The condition is to undergo a regular medical examination every 3 years in order to confirm the category of disability, otherwise the right to benefits is lost.

If the baby’s mother has an official place of work, she will also not be left without support, only now she will be entitled to benefits established by the Labor Code. Parents of a disabled child can apply for a benefit to pay for utility services in the amount of half the cost. They also have access to discounts on travel on public transport, health resort events and medical care.

Amount of benefits for a child over 3 years old

The amount of child benefit for a child who has reached the age of 3 can vary from 500 to 1300 rubles, depending on the city of residence of the family. To support a disabled child, an allowance of 1,200 rubles is paid in addition to the disability pension equal to 11,445 rubles 68 kopecks.

The article discusses issues related to this type of payment: how child care benefits are calculated, who can receive assistance and what documents are needed for this, where working and non-working mothers and fathers should apply.

Who is eligible to receive benefits?

All citizens of the Russian Federation are entitled to monthly state assistance, including:

• officially employed;
• unemployed and unofficially employed;
• recently laid off;
• students of universities, technical schools, vocational schools, etc.

Not only mothers (relatives or those who have adopted a child), but also fathers, as well as other relatives (grandparents, etc.) can receive funds. It depends on who is actually caring for the baby.. If the grandmother goes on maternity leave and the mother continues to work, then it is the grandmother who has the right to receive a monthly benefit.

That is, if a relative cannot work and receive a salary because he is taking care of a child, then he has the right to receive monthly assistance from the state.

Certain categories of foreigners and stateless persons can also count on assistance if they permanently reside in Russia on the territory of Russia (have a residence permit) or temporarily (but are employed and insured by the social insurance fund).

It is unacceptable to assign benefits to persons:

• deprived of parental rights;
• those who have left for permanent residence abroad (despite maintaining Russian citizenship);
• whose child is on state support.

How are payments made?

State aid is transferred monthly from the day the baby is born. Parental leave is given for up to 3 years, but You can receive funds only until the baby is 1.5 years old.

Funds are paid for all 18 months, regardless of when you submitted documents for payment (the main thing is to apply for assistance before the child reaches 2 years old).

Currently, for mothers (or other relatives) on maternity leave, compensation is provided in a fixed amount of 50 rubles per month, which is transferred from the age of 1.5 to 3 years of the baby. The amount of compensation in different regions of the Russian Federation may differ slightly, since a correction factor is used in the calculation.

Monthly assistance amount

The amount of money you will receive to care for your baby directly depends on whether you work or not. Below we will look at each of these cases in detail.

Payments for workers

If you are officially employed and are currently on maternity leave, then the payment amount will be calculated based on 40% of your average monthly earnings. The average income is determined based on salary data for the last 2 years.

◊ To calculate assistance, use the formula:

P = NW / D * 30.4 * 40%

Where P is the amount of child care benefits up to 1.5 years;

SZ – the amount of earnings for the previous 2 years;

D – the number of calendar days (over the last 2 years) minus excluded periods;

30.4 – average calendar days per month (constant value).

If you went on maternity leave in 2018, then the calculation formula for you will look like this:

P = SZ / (730 – excluded periods) * 30.4 * 40%,

Where 730 is the number of days in 2016 and 2017.

Excluded periods include the following days:

• sick leave;
• maternity leave;
• maternity leave to care for another child (for example, in 2016 you were on leave to care for your first child, and in 2018 you gave birth to a second baby);
• You were not at work for other reasons, while maintaining your average earnings, and insurance premiums were not paid from it (for example, you served as a juror).

Along with the excluded days, the salary amounts received for these days are also excluded.

Absenteeism, vacations at your own expense and others are not excluded from the calculation days.

Example No. 1

Sviridova S.D. goes on maternity leave from 06/01/18. The calculation of compensation for her is based on 2016 and 2017. During this period Sviridov:

• was on sick leave – 23 days;
• was on maternity leave – 140 days;
• I was on annual leave - 39 days.

To calculate, 163 days must be removed from the total number of calendar days in 2016 and 2017 (731 days) (23 days are sick days, 140 days are maternity leave). Days of annual leave (39 days) are not excluded from the total, since the company pays insurance premiums from their amount. Thus, in the formula for Sviridova, you need to use the indicator 568 days (730 - 162).

◊ Restrictive dimensions

Minimum payments care 3142,33 rub. for the firstborn and 6284,65 rub. on subsequent ones. That is, if, during an individual calculation, the amounts turn out to be less than those indicated, then the monthly assistance will be equal to these minimum indicators.

Maximum payout can't be more 24 536,57 rub.

That is, no matter how high the salary is, there is an income ceiling. In 2018, these limits look like this: income for the year is no more than 815,000 rubles, per day no more than 2,017.81 rubles.

In 2017, these indicators were as follows: for the year - 755,000 rubles, per day - 1,901.37 rubles.

In 2016: for the year 718,000 rubles, per day - 1,772.90 rubles.

Example No. 2
Kondratyeva E.G. went on maternity leave on 03/01/18. Based on the results of the previous 2 years, her income was:

• income for 2016 – 618,620;
• income for 2017 – 780,310.

Despite the fact that Kondratieva earned 780,310 in 2017, the value of 755,000 (as the maximum allowable) will be used to calculate the benefit. The total income for both years will be 1,373,620 (618,620 + 755,000). As a result, the monthly payment amount will be 22,881.12 rubles.

◊ Cases with part-time work

Same employer. Combining positions in one organization allows you to summarize all income within the limits.

Example No. 3. Utkina V.L. economist at JSC Status. In April 2017, Utkina combined her workplace with the position of an expert analyst in the same organization. In March 2018 Utkina V.L. goes on maternity leave. Her income for the last 2 years was:

• for the position of economist: in 2016 – 438.110; in 2017 – 488,320;
• for the position of expert analyst: in 2017 – 251,330.

Let's calculate the amount of monthly payments for Utkina.

The total income for 2016 and 2017 is summed up, including the salary of the part-time worker. Total in 2016 Utkina received 438.110, in 2017 – 739.650 (488.320 + 251.330). The income for both years will be 1,177,760 (438,110 + 739,650).

The number of calendar days is determined as follows:

730 (number of days in 2016 and 2017) – 59 (excluded days: maternity leave, sick leave, etc.) = 671.

Thus, Utkina can receive benefits in the amount of:

RUB 1,177,760 / 671 days * 30.4 * 40% = 21,343.60 rubles.

This indicator does not exceed the maximum allowable (24,536.57), so the calculation is not trimmed.

Employment with different employers.

The picture looks different. Let's consider typical situations:

1. You are going on maternity leave in 2018. In 2016-2017 (calculation period) and 2018, you worked part-time in both company “A” and “B”. The payment must be from one organization (“A” or “B”) of your choice. Yves The calculation takes into account the income of only one organization. It is advisable to apply for child benefits up to one and a half years through a company with a higher income. All you need from the second employer is a certificate stating that no benefits were provided.
2. In March 2018, you apply for parental leave. At the time of going on maternity leave, you are working in company “C”, and part-time in company “D”. In 2016 – 2017, as well as in January 2018, you held the main position in “A” and were a part-time position in “B”. Which organization (A, B, C or D) will make payments, you choose yourself. When determining the amount of payments, it is necessary to take into account income in the billing period 2016 – 2017 (salary received in “A” or “B” - at your choice), the amounts of which are confirmed by relevant certificates.

We clarify that when working part-time in the same company, all earnings for all positions are included in the calculation of benefits.

Earnings include not only salary, compensation amounts (for hazardous work, overtime, overtime, special climatic conditions, etc.), but also bonus accruals.

But material assistance, benefits, subsidies, etc. are not included in the calculation.

If the calculation period of 2 years includes the time spent on maternity leave, pregnancy leave or child care, then the assistance can be calculated for the period that was before these leaves.

Example No. 4. Karpova A.E. In March 2019, she goes on maternity leave to care for her second child. Moreover, from March 2017 to September 2018, she was on leave to care for her first child. For 2017 and 2018, respectively. the amount of salary influencing the amount of benefits was insufficient. In 2015 and 2016, the monthly earnings were higher. Karpov, take the salary amounts for 2015 and 2016 to calculate child benefits in 2019.

If the salary in 2018 (from September to December) was higher than in 2015, 2016, then you can rely on the salary received in 2018. Only 4 months will be taken into account (September, October, November, December, the rest of the time: parental and maternity leave is not taken into account), from which the amount of earnings and dividing days will be calculated (not 730, but 122).

Having made the calculation, Karpova can decide what is more profitable for her. And she will have the right to choose the billing period.

◊ Payments for several children at once

The calculations for each child add up. This often happens when twins are born or the period between the first and subsequent children is short.

But the total size is limited. The limit is determined by the average earnings of the recipient of assistance two years before the birth of the child/children.

The calculation principle is the same as for one child, only instead of 40% of income, 100% is taken into account.

The formula will look like this:

P (by 2) = NW/D X 30.4.

There is also an absolute limit (when benefit applicants have high salaries). In 2018, it is equal to 61,341.36 ((718,000 + 755,000)/730 X 30.4) rubles.

◊ Regional (increasing) coefficients

In many regions with harsh climatic conditions, coefficients are provided (for example, in the Perm Territory - 1.15, in the Altai Republic - 1.4, in the Arkhangelsk Region 1.2, etc.).

Material resources calculated in the usual way are multiplied by the coefficient of the corresponding region. In this way, the final value is obtained taking into account the socio-geographical characteristics of a particular subject of the Russian Federation. That is, the amount of child care benefits will be larger than in a typical situation.

Regional indices also increase the lower and upper limits of benefits.

Help for the unemployed

A benefit is also provided for unemployed persons, but the calculation of the amount is different than for employed persons.

◊ There are 2 categories of unemployed people, depending on the method for determining the amount of child benefit.

Persons not insured by social insurance. These could be:

• full-time students;
• total work experience does not exceed 6 months;
• You are caring for a child due to deprivation of parental rights to the mother and/or father;
• there is no employment at the time of going on leave;
• You are an individual entrepreneur without registration in the Social Insurance Fund for yourself.

State assistance is set strictly at a minimum amount (without settlement actions): if the first child appears in the family - RUB 3,142.33; for the second and subsequent children - RUR 6,284.65.

Those left without work during maternity leave, namely:

• dismissed due to the liquidation of the enterprise during maternity leave;
• mothers dismissed during maternity leave due to the transfer of their husband from military units outside the Russian Federation to Russian territory (return to the Russian Federation).

For these unemployed people, payments are made not at a minimum amount, but at the rate of 40% of average monthly earnings. That is, compensation is calculated in the general manner, similar to those employed, but the maximum amount of payments provided for citizens in 2018 is no more than 12,569.33.

◊ If there are two or more children under the age of 1.5 years, the amount of benefits for each child is added up .

For the regular category of unemployed.

The benefits just add up.

Example No. 6 Sokolova G.N. has three children: a son (born 01/08/2017) and two daughters (born 12/24/2017 and 10/01/18). Sokolova G.N. – unemployed, so she can count on minimal payments:

• For a son - 2,908.62 rubles. (from birth to January 31, 2017), RUB 3,065.69. (until January 31, 2018), RUB 3,142.33. (until 01/31/2019);
• For daughters – 6,131.37 (born in 2017) and 6,284.65 (born in 2018).

Thus, Sokolova G.N. will receive monthly:

• From the moment of the birth of her first child until the first indexation (01/31/17), Sokolova will receive 2,908.62 rubles;
• From 02/01/2017 until the birth of the second child 3,065.69 rubles.
• From December 24, 2017 until the next indexation (01/31/2018), care assistance for two children is already 9,197.06 rubles. (3.065.69 + 6.131.37);
• From 02/01/2018 until the first baby is 1.5 years old (07/07/2018) - 9,426.98 rubles. (3.142.33 + 6.284.65);
• From 07/08/2018 to the date of birth of the third child - 6,284.65 rubles. (payments stop for the first one);
• From the date of birth of the third baby (to date), the amount of payments is 12,569.30 rubles.

If the mother is unemployed due to her dismissal during maternity leave.

Then the total amount of assistance cannot exceed the income received by the recipient of assistance 12 months before the birth of the child.

It should be borne in mind that the amount of child benefit up to 1.5 years for the second child and subsequent children does not depend on whether payments are made for the first or have already been completed (not tied to the age of previous children), if the mother is not deprived of rights to the first child (then it is not taken into account).

How to apply: procedure and documents

You can request and receive a monthly allowance for child care up to one and a half years old through your employer (for employed persons).

We issue at the place of work

To receive funds you will need:

• a free-form application indicating personal data and bank details for crediting funds. The document form can be obtained from the accounting department or human resources department. As a rule, one application is written for both leave and maternity benefits;
• birth/adoption certificate of the child (a copy is provided and the original is presented);
• birth/adoption/death certificate of previous children (if available);
• a certificate from the place of work (social security department, if not working) of the second parent stating that he does not receive benefits;
• a certificate stating that you do not receive compensation at another place of work (for part-time workers);
• Depending on the specific case, other documents may be needed. (For example, a relative who is caring for a child applies for help, then a certificate of family composition, a certificate of cohabitation with the child, etc. is needed).

You can submit documents for child care benefits from the birth of the baby, but no later than the baby turns 2 years old. For example, if the baby was born on 05/18/17, then the application date cannot be later than 05/18/19. If, for good reason, you were unable to submit the papers within the prescribed period, the deadline will be restored in court. Provided that there are supporting documents, certificates, etc.

The employer has 10 working days to process the documents, after which the funds should be transferred to you.

The money is paid on the days on which the salary was received, monthly. If the application was late, then the amount accumulated from the moment of birth until the application is paid in full. That is, it is as if the debt is closed, even if it is the entire amount for 18 months.

Payments through Social Security

Persons not insured by the Social Insurance Fund (unemployed, students, individual entrepreneurs, laid off during the liquidation of an organization, etc.), as well as citizens with work experience of up to 6 months, contact the Social Security Authority at their place of residence (RUSZN).

To apply for child care benefits for children up to 1.5 years old through RUSZN you will need:

• application (You can download a sample application for payment of benefits for up to 1.5 years on the Internet on the social service website or contact the RUSZN directly for a form). Now the application is filled out by the specialists themselves;
• birth certificate of the baby (for whom the subsidy is received) and previous children (if any);
• a certificate from the Employment Service that you do not receive unemployment subsidies;
• a certificate with information on average earnings for those categories of unemployed citizens who receive funds based on 40% of income (those dismissed due to the liquidation of an enterprise; mothers dismissed due to the transfer of husbands from military units outside the territory of the Russian Federation);
• a copy of the dismissal order and an extract from the work record book (if you were laid off during pregnancy or maternity leave due to the liquidation of the organization);
• certificate confirming that the spouse has not received benefits.

There are several ways to transfer papers to Social Security:

• You can personally submit the entire package of documents by visiting the Social Security office at your place of residence or the territorial MFC;
• if you are unable to come to the institution in person, you can send a postal letter (with notification and a list of attachments) or issue a power of attorney for the provision of papers by another person;
• You have the opportunity to use the electronic resource gosuslugi.ru and submit documents electronically. To do this, you need to register on the website and fill out the form in your “Personal Account”.

The deadlines for submitting documents to Social Security are similar to the procedure for registering funds through an employer - all papers must be submitted before the child reaches 2 years of age. Child care benefits are paid to your bank account until the 26th of the next month after submitting your application.

Additional regional payments

In addition to the basic benefit for child care up to 1.5 years, Russians can count on additional regional assistance. For example, for residents of St. Petersburg, compensation payments are provided until the child reaches 1.5 years of age. Funds are allocated for the purchase of children's goods and food. Additional payments are transferred in the following cases:

• recognition of a low-income family;
• a family is raising a disabled child (and funds are allocated for both the disabled child and the child from the family where the disabled child is being raised);
• the baby is HIV-infected (or there is an HIV-infected child in the family);
• the baby's parents are disabled;
• the baby has individual medical indications for special dairy products (term of assistance is up to 3 years).

It is important to note that such assistance is provided not only to residents of St. Petersburg, but also to other citizens who are temporarily staying in this city.

Monthly assistance is provided for by regional legislation not in all subjects of the Russian Federation, but in the majority. At the same time, in different regions/territories/republics there are different:

• payment amounts;
• composition of application documents;
• requirements for applicants;
• etc.

To obtain comprehensive information about the amount of additional monthly assistance, the procedure for receiving it and the necessary documents, it would be advisable for you to contact the regional Social Security authority. You can also ask a question in the comments to the article.
