Child care allowance

The vague wording “child benefits” hides a whole list of payments that the state provides to families with children.

The composition and amount of financial assistance is determined depending on the place of residence, level of financial security, number of children in the family, status and even age of the parents! Thus, some regional payments are available only to young families (i.e.

those in which both parents have not yet reached 30 years of age), and only single mothers can count on some benefits.

The main goal of the state is to provide targeted social support to families who are in dire need of money.

All this is part of family policy aimed at solving problems that the average cell of society cannot cope with using internal resources.

In turn, acquiring a material foundation is an important step towards improving the birth rate and improving the demographic situation in the country. Let's analyze the latest data and find out what payments Russians who are preparing to become parents can count on in 2020!

Will there be indexation of child benefits?

Find out what increase in benefits families with children can expect!

Questions about the indexation of child benefits are regulated by the standards of the Federal Law “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children.” The procedure is carried out in the amount and within the time frame determined by the legislative act “On the Federal Budget of the Russian Federation”. The estimate of state income and expenses is compiled on the basis of forecast inflation values ​​- therefore, it is the inflation indicators recorded in 2019 that directly determine how much child benefits will increase in 2020!

The Russian government plans to raise the amount of some payments for families with children in the near future, as well as clarify the rules for calculating them. Russians were assured that all innovations are aimed at meeting basic needs in the sphere of motherhood and childhood. Measures include:

• extension of the federal program “Maternity Capital” until 2021 (the corresponding decree has already been signed by the President of the Russian Federation, which means that the extension of the program can be considered a done deal);
• introduction of a new social support program that provides for the payment of a monthly benefit upon the birth of the first child in a family (payment will be made until the baby turns 1.5 years old). The right to receive such benefits is given to a low-income family in which the average per capita income per member is no more than one and a half times the subsistence level;
• allocation of funds from the federal budget to provide gubernatorial payments. The size of the governor's payment for the birth of the first child is 6,000 rubles, for the birth of a second child - 12,000 rubles, and for the third - 18,000 rubles. It is provided only to young families. When one of the spouses reaches the age of 30, unfortunately, the couple is deprived of the right to this type of payment.

In addition, at the federal level, the minimum wage increased to 11,280 rubles. The amount is commensurate with the size of the minimum wage of the working-age population, established for the 2nd quarter of the previous year. This norm is enshrined in Federal Law No. 481-FZ.

The wages of Russian citizens have also increased, so the amount of insurance contributions they pay to the Social Insurance Fund has increased. This circumstance entails a natural increase in some types of payments in 2020.

These include:

• Maternity benefit. Its size is determined by the amount of income received by the insured person in 2018 and 2019. The accrual is made in the amount of 100% of the average monthly salary of the expectant mother for this period. A restriction has been introduced regarding the maximum amount - maternity pay should not exceed 65,416 rubles;
• Child care allowance until he is 1.5 years old. This year, the maximum monthly benefit amount is 26,152 rubles. At the same time, the calculation formula includes 40% of the income a woman receives;
• Allowance for child care aged 1.5-3 years. In accordance with the presidential decree, a fixed amount of this payment was established, amounting to... only 50 rubles per month. In some regions, the generosity of the benefit is determined individually - for example, residents of Moscow can expect to receive 2,000 rubles. The benefit is paid to a woman if she is officially employed or undergoes military service in the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation. In addition, a mother who was fired from her job due to the liquidation of the organization can receive a payment.

It seems that the only increase in payments will be their indexation by 3.8%

The lower threshold amount of individual payments is tied to the minimum wage. Such benefits will be received by Russian women who are officially recognized as unemployed (a prerequisite is registration of status at the employment center).

Regarding the size of payments in 2020, the Russian government stated: from February 1, 2019, child benefits will be regularly indexed taking into account the level of inflation. According to experts from the Ministry of Economic Development, in 2020 it will be 3.8%.

All types of child benefits will be indexed to this amount, with the exception of child care benefits up to 1.5 years old.

Types of payments available to Russians

Various federal and regional programs operate throughout the country, on the basis of which families are provided with one-time and monthly child benefits.

Such government initiatives make it possible to provide children with everything necessary for normal development - from basic necessities to healthy nutrition. In addition, some families are allocated funds to improve their living conditions.

Child benefits may include payments provided in connection with:

• registration at the antenatal clinic in early pregnancy;
• pregnancy and childbirth;
• the birth of the first, second and third child;
• caring for the baby until she is one and a half and three years old.

In regions with low birth rates, an additional benefit is provided if a third child appears in the family (as well as all subsequent children). In addition, the listed types of child benefits are provided to families who have taken in a child without parental care.

Alimony payments

Another payment that can ease the financial situation of single-parent families is alimony - i.e. funds intended for the maintenance of children. They are paid to those parents who do not live with their child. A similar situation arises when spouses dissolve their official marriage. Payment is made in the form of:

• share of wages. Its size is determined by the number of persons whom the payer is obliged to support;
• a fixed amount payable every month or once by agreement of the parties;
• provision of movable or immovable property if the parent does not have a regular income.

Alimony – non-state financial assistance for single-parent families

As a rule, alimony payments are established in court, since they are part of obligatory legal relations. They are withheld from wages and all other income of the defendant based on a decision of the judicial authority.

The fulfillment of alimony obligations is controlled by the Federal Bailiff Service, which opens enforcement proceedings. The amount of alimony is determined by the amount of income the defendant receives and the number of children.

It amounts to:

• for one child – 25% of income;
• for two children – 33%;
• for three or more children – 50%.

Alimony payments are subject to indexation in accordance with the level of inflation and changes in the cost of living established for the corresponding socio-demographic group.

According to current legislation, lack of a source of income does not exempt a parent from paying child support.

If he is not officially employed, then the amount of alimony is set based on the minimum wage - and in 2020, this figure, according to promises from the Cabinet of Ministers, will increase by 2.9% and amount to 11,607 rubles.

Maternal capital

As you know, the Maternity Capital program is a significant (and often irreplaceable) source of income for many Russian families. It provides for the issuance of cash benefits to parents who have a second child.

The right to receive payment is certified by a certificate, which is issued on a standardized form. By the way, those families who have adopted two or more children legally can also count on maternity capital.

True, most of the allocated funds can be used only after the second child turns three years old.

The main purpose of maternity capital is:

• providing support in matters of motherhood and childhood;
• improving the quality of life and strengthening the well-being of large families.

The amount of funds allocated as maternity capital is regulated taking into account the inflation rate recorded in the country. As for the ways in which funds from maternity capital can be used, in 2020 the picture is as follows. Large families will be able to spend money on:

• improvement of housing conditions (i.e. as a down payment when taking out a mortgage loan, or to repay the balance of loan funds taken for the purchase of housing or the construction of an individual residential building);
• formation of mother's pension;
• children receiving a decent education (including preschool);
• passing rehabilitation procedures for children with disabilities.

Today, the amount of maternity capital is 453,026 rubles.

For several years now, indexation of this payment has not been carried out, and the government regularly regaled Russians with promises of a quick increase in maternity capital, and not by a measly couple of percent, but almost up to one and a half million rubles! Unfortunately, the promises remained promises.

However, the payment was unfrozen, and in 2020 maternity capital is guaranteed to increase to 470,241 rubles. through indexing. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, presenting one of the most important national projects related to demography.

In 2020, the amount of maternity capital will be raised to 470,241 rubles

Regional maternity capital

Since 2011, another important program began to be implemented that directly affects the financial situation of large families - “Regional Maternity Capital”.

In many subjects of the Federation, this payment is provided when a third child appears in the family, but there are exceptions - for example, the authorities of the Moscow and Novgorod regions make payments already at the birth of the second child.

The main requirements for potential recipients of the payment are as follows:

• the birth of a third or subsequent children in the family (in addition, parents who have completed the adoption procedure the required number of times can count on the payment);
• permanent residence of the family in the territory of this region;
• provision of regional capital funds after a certain period of time after the birth of the baby. The period is set by local regulations of a particular region.

The amount of regional maternity capital in different regions of the Russian Federation varies greatly, ranging from 25,000 to 350,000 rubles. In most regions it currently amounts to 100,000 rubles. The government has not yet made any statements about the indexation of this type of financial assistance.

From January 1, 2020, child benefits will be increased to 10 thousand rubles

A new benefit in the amount of approximately 10 thousand rubles for caring for a child under 3 years old will be introduced from January 1, 2020.

Clarification: in September 2019 it became known that the average amount of payments would be 12,000 rubles; a more precise amount is determined depending on the cost of living in the region.

The increased benefit from 1.5 to 3 years was approved as an amendment to bill No. 720994-7 already being considered in the State Duma. From January 1, 2020, payments to families with children will be increased to two subsistence minimums.

In fact, this means that the so-called “Putin” payments will simply be extended to three years (currently they are paid to one and a half). Based on this, from January 1, 2020, benefits up to 3 years will be paid only for the first and second child.

It turns out that payments for the third and subsequent children will not be paid from 1.5 to 3 years. So far this is the schedule. We'll wait, but it's unlikely that anything will change. Apparently, they believe that there is already an allowance for the third and subsequent children.

Payments for a child: to whom and how much

Disputes over increasing payments for children under 3 years of age continue.

Due to the increasing number of requests, we would like to clarify this issue.

August 2nd The President of the Russian Federation V. Putin signed the Federal Law, which amends the Federal Law of December 28, 2017 No. 418-FZ “On monthly payments to families with children.”

These changes apply only to the monthly payment in connection with the birth (adoption) of the first and second child. The payment for the first child is assigned and paid by the LOGKU “Center for Social Protection of the Population”, and for the second - by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

• Today the payment can be received by citizens who:
• – the child was born (adopted) starting from January 1, 2018 and is a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• – the size of the average per capita family income does not exceed 1.5 times the subsistence level of the working-age population established in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.
• From January 1, 2020, the average per capita income will not exceed 2 times the subsistence level of the working-age population established in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.
• The changes also affected the duration of the payment - from January 1, 2020, it will be assigned until the child turns 3 years old.
• In this case, a new application and package of documents to extend the payment will need to be submitted when the child reaches the age of 1 year, and then when he reaches 2 years.
• A citizen will have the right to apply for this payment at any time within 3 years from the date of birth of the child.

We remind you that until December 31, 2019, LOGKU “Center for Social Protection of the Population” assigns and makes payments in accordance with current legislation, i.e. up to 1.5 years. It is important to know that if an application is submitted:

– from 0 to 6 months from the date of birth of the child, then payment is made from the date of birth of the child;

– from 6 months and older – from the date of application.

The Duma finally adopted a law on a benefit of approximately 12,000 rubles for low-income families with children

The bill, which introduces monthly payments for needy families for the first and second child from 1.5 to 3 years old in the amount of the regional subsistence minimum per child, was finally adopted by the State Duma in the third reading. And now all procedures will be developed in detail.

From January 1, 2020, a low-income family will be able to write and complete an application, according to which the period of appropriate payments will be extended until the child reaches the age of three. In this case, initially the payment will be assigned until the child reaches the age of one year, after that - for the period until the child reaches the age of two years, and after that for the period until he reaches the age of three years.

In addition, the document provides for an increase in the number of families receiving benefits for the first and second child by changing the criterion of need (from 1.5 times to twice the minimum subsistence level in a specific region of the country). This means that now the opportunity to receive payments will be given to those families whose income is below twice the value of this indicator for the working-age population.

The government approved an increase in child benefits for low-income families

MOSCOW, - RIA Novosti. The government approved a bill providing for an increase in child benefits for families in which the average per capita income does not exceed two subsistence levels. This is reported on the website of the Cabinet of Ministers.

We are talking about benefits for a child aged from one and a half to three years. From January 1, 2020, they will be equal to the subsistence minimum in the region .

As Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev announced at the end of June, such payments will monthly amount to about ten thousand rubles per child.

1. Now the bill will be sent to the State Duma.
2. Now, as a temporary measure of support, working mothers (or other relatives caring for a child), as well as female military personnel on maternity leave for up to three years, are paid 50 rubles monthly.
3. https://ria.ru
4. Citizens receiving a monthly child care benefit based on need criteria are required to notify the executive authorities of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, exercising powers in the field of social protection of the population, of the occurrence of circumstances leading to the termination of the said benefit within a month.

Need criteria for receiving child benefits

“The criteria for the need of families will be raised from January 1 from 1.5 to 2 subsistence minimums per person,” Dmitry Medvedev said recently. That is, from the new year, the “threshold” for all new child benefits (for the first child up to 1.5 years from the federal budget, for the second up to 1.5 years from maternity capital, for anyone from 1.5 to 3 years) will be a family income of 2 minimums.

The calculation will take into account all monetary income of the family: salaries, bonuses, pensions, benefits, sick leave, scholarships, alimony, monetary compensation and allowances for military personnel, internal affairs officers and other law enforcement agencies. If the child is the first, documents will need to be submitted to the social protection authorities at the place of residence or to the MFC.

If the second - to the local branch of the Pension Fund or to the MFC. All mothers will receive it, whether they are working (full-time or part-time) or not working, on maternity leave or not. Whether or not the child goes to a nursery or kindergarten. If the income per family member is less than 2 PM, then they must give. Mommies. This is just a project!!!! January 1, 2020 is still a long way off.

Who will receive child care benefits from one and a half to three years

• The following can count on a monthly childcare benefit for a child under 3 years of age:
• working or serving mothers (fathers), other relatives who are on care leave and actually caring for the child;
  those dismissed during maternity leave or parental leave due to the liquidation of organizations and caring for a child;
  unemployed mothers or fathers, guardians actually caring for the child (including full-time students),
• if the average per capita family income does not exceed 2 times the subsistence level of the working-age population established in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation for the second quarter of the year preceding the year of application for the specified payment.

New payments for children

To stop the natural population decline - in order to prevent the loss of controlled territory - the federal authorities periodically introduce support programs to support the Russian family.

New payments in 2020 for children received the name “Putin” (by decree of the current Russian President Putin). More families will be able to receive these payments.

Under certain conditions, the so-called “Putin payment” can increase 200 times.

Who will receive the “Putin payment”

With the advent of 2020, updates to Federal Article No. 418, approved by Putin on August 2, 2019 as Federal Law No. 305, gained legal force. The maximum age of a child to receive a payment previously did not exceed 1.5 years, but now it has been increased to three years.

The period for receiving payment has been doubled. A family in need of such state support is now equated to one when the income of the father or mother does not cross twice the minimum subsistence level.

This value, in turn, is established by the federal government in terms of the consumer basket of a particular region.

Any officially able-bodied citizen falls under the criterion of being in need - for him this level is indexed from July 1 of the previous year. The last indexation of PM was in July 2019. Previously, the “Putin payment” was awarded to all citizens whose income did not cross 1.5 times the subsistence level. The average PM mark in Russia is 12,130 rubles.

If there are three people living in a family, then the total monthly income will not exceed 72,780 rubles. In 2020, payments for a newborn are calculated according to the child's monthly minimum, determined by regional and federal authorities for the second quarter of 2019. The average PM value for the country will be slightly more than eleven thousand rubles.

The exact value of PM varies by region: 9,000 rubles in the Belgorod region and 23,000 rubles in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

Conclusion: since the beginning of 2020, the following innovations have taken place in families with small children.

1. The number of young families in Russia applying for such benefits will increase sharply - up to 70% of their total number.
2. For families in which small children are 1.5 years old but not yet three, the problem of a 50-ruble “handout” from the state will be resolved. This amount will be multiplied 220 times - up to those same 11,000 rubles.

This decision on the part of the authorities is connected with the woman’s maternity leave for three years. Previously, state support for child care stopped when he turned 1.5 years old.

What does it take to receive the “Putin payment”

Other conditions of the updated child benefit are consistent with the previous support provided by the state for a child under 1.5 years of age. Federal Law No. 418 regulates these conditions as follows.

1. The “Putin payment” is obtained for the 1st or 2nd child in the family - it doesn’t matter whether he is born or adopted. A child should appear in such a family only after the end of 2017.
2. In order for the money to be credited to the current account (or the mother’s bank card), a young family contacts the Pension Fund or the State Services portal on any day before the child reaches three years of age.
3. Both the child and the father and mother must be legal citizens of Russia and permanently live within the Russian Federation.
4. Any of the parents should not lose parental rights on the date of such an appeal (to the appropriate authorities).
5. A child cannot be on full government support.
6. Payments for the first child are made in the name of the mother, father or guardian. Payments for the second are in the name of the family member to whom the maternity capital certificate is assigned.

Payments in the name of the second child are paid towards the existing maternity capital. A report on the expenditure of money is not required - it is spent on any family needs. Families who have fully used maternity capital do not have the right to count on repeated financial assistance from the state.

How to get the “Putin payment”

The procedure for obtaining benefits is determined by the number of children:

• for the first of the children - financial support is provided from the state treasury, documents are provided to the social protection department at the place of current residence;
• for the second of the children - state support is provided not from the state treasury, but from funds previously allocated for maternity capital, documents are submitted to the nearest department of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the procedure is timed to issue a certificate for maternity capital;
• for twins - two applications are submitted - to the Pension Fund and to the social protection department.

Before applying for benefits for a second child, keep in mind that based on the results of monthly payments, until the same child reaches three years of age, the maternity capital will be fully utilized. At the same time, there is no money to improve living conditions, as well as funds allocated for the child’s education or other types of spending maternity capital permitted by law.

Initially, payments are made until the child is one year old. The following year, parents will submit a second application. If a family’s income has increased sharply, parents are not entitled to receive government support for the next year of the child’s life.

Other monetary compensation

The provision of new monthly state assistance by the state does not cancel the right of parents to receive other previously assigned cash benefits. Some of the previously accrued payments will increase from January 1, 2020 - the minimum wage in the country will be increased to 12,130 rubles.

Everything that is not included in this re-discount will be re-indexed at the beginning of February - indexation will be 3.8%. Starting from 2016, indexation for these 4 years did not affect the maternity capital - or rather, the remainder of it that was preserved from the time of partial spending of the money allocated by the state.

The amount of maternity capital will be 466,617 rubles. The exact data is listed by date and age of the children.

Monthly child benefit for low-income families in Moscow

Child benefits in Moscow have increased significantly in many respects. The capital has long been considered one of the few regions that provide serious support to Russians at the regional level. An undoubted advantage is not only the appearance of new benefits, but also a noticeable increase in existing payments of a material nature.

Which family is considered low-income?

• In order for a family to receive benefits as a low-income person, it must have an average per capita income below the regional subsistence level.
• To calculate the average per capita income, you need to remember that according to the law, the family includes all relatives living in the same territory and leading a joint household: mother and father, children, including stepsons and stepdaughters, children under guardianship, grandparents.
• The average monthly income of all family members is calculated for the last 3 months. Income includes:

• wage;
• pensions;
• bonuses;
• scholarships;
• incentive payments;
• alimony;
• severance pay;
• all types of dividends;
• income from property (for example, if the family rents out another apartment).

Important!!! If a family has an able-bodied adult family member, then the family can no longer claim the status of a poor person. The exception is women who are on maternity leave.

The subsistence minimum can change once every three months, and there are several types of subsistence minimums, namely:

• per child;
• for a pensioner;
• for an able-bodied citizen.

To determine the average per capita income, it is necessary to add up all family income for three months and divide by three. The resulting number must be divided among all family members.

If this value turns out to be below the subsistence level in Moscow, then the family can apply to the social security authorities to receive benefits as low-income citizens. Any family member can make a payment.

You just need to collect a certain package of documents in advance.

The cost of living in Moscow in 2020

In Moscow, the cost of living in 2020 is:

Subject of the Russian Federation Living wage in 2020 For a pensioner For a child For an able-bodied citizen Moscow 11,420 rubles 13,938 rubles 18,453 rubles

What child benefits can a low-income family receive?

At the federal level, several types of benefits have now been introduced for low-income families:

• Monthly payments for the first child up to 1.5 years old . Assigned to low-income families in which the baby was born after January 1, 2020.
• Monthly payments for the second child from maternity capital . Assigned to low-income families in which 2 children were born after January 1, 2020.
• Benefits for large families for children under 3 years of age . They are paid only in those regions where the fertility rate has not yet exceeded the desired level of 2.
• benefits for low-income families for children under 18 years of age.

Payments to low-income families with children under 3 years of age

Until the child is one and a half years old, a working woman receives from the employer a cash benefit in the amount of 40% of her earnings (monthly) or the established minimum wage. After this period, the woman must go to work, since compensation in the amount of 50 rubles is too little to provide for the child.

In this regard, in 2015, a proposal was put forward to extend child benefits for families in need. But, unfortunately, this is too much expense for the state budget, and the measure has not yet been introduced. Now in some regions the government is independently introducing payments for children aged 1.5 to 3 years. Financial assistance is paid as part of an increased child benefit for low-income families.

In Moscow, payments for 2020 are shown in the table below.

Family category Moscow, in rubles Up to 1.5 years Up to 3 years Standard 1500 10000 Single mother 15000 15000 Parent evades paying child support/does military service 6000 15000

Payments to low-income families with children under 18 years of age

After the child reaches the age of 1.5 years, low-income parents can only count on this type of payment. The conditions for receiving this payment are as follows:

• the total family income is below the subsistence level in the region;
• the benefit is assigned to each child under 18 years of age;
• funds are allocated for payment of benefits from the regional budget;
• the amount of this benefit is reviewed annually.

In Moscow in 2020, this type of benefit is presented in the table:

Family category Benefit amount from 3 to 18 years Standard 1,500 rubles Single mother 2,500 rubles Parent evades paying child support/does military service 1,900 rubles

Benefits for low-income families with many children

This type of benefit is established with the aim of increasing the birth rate in the region. Payment of benefits is assigned for each child starting from the third. Families can receive the payment:

• having more than three children;
• Russian citizenship is required

Important! The benefit amount is equal to the subsistence level in each region.

At the beginning of 2020, financial payments are provided for 60 regions of the country that still experience an unfavorable demographic situation (less than 13.3 newborns per 1,000 people).

Who can apply for child benefits in a low-income family?

Benefits can be received by citizens whose per capita family income is below the subsistence level in Moscow, which is 17,500 rubles.

The following may apply for benefits:

• Spouses of military personnel serving on conscription.
• Wives and children of contract workers.
• Single fathers or mothers with dependents aged 3-18 years.
• Single-parent families where the second parent does not pay child support.

How to apply for child benefits for a low-income family

A family that wishes to obtain low-income status must contact the social protection authorities at their place of residence. If you don’t have time to stand in queues, then you can submit an application remotely through the Public Services portal.

It is very important to provide truthful information about the total income of family members. Otherwise, the deception will still be exposed, and the state will not provide assistance to the family (no matter how much it needs money).

List of required documents:

• An application of the appropriate form for recognition of a low-income family is issued on the spot;
• Passports of all family members over 18 years of age;
• Birth certificates for minor children;
• Marriage certificate;
• A certificate confirming the income of each working family member;
• Certificate of family composition;

• Certified work book for a working family member;
• Certificate of disability (if available);
• Bank details for transferring benefits.

Sometimes situations occur when the location of one of the family members cannot be determined. In this case, payments from the state can still be processed. To do this, you must first write a statement to the police so that a criminal case can be initiated to find the missing family member.

Deadlines for applying for child benefits in a low-income family

In order to receive due payments on time, you must comply with the deadlines for submitting documents:

• To receive payments for minors under 1.5 years old, you must apply no later than six months from the date of birth of the baby;
• for payments from 1.5 to 3 years, as well as from 3 to 18 years, the right to receive arises from the moment the child reaches the age of receiving the corresponding payments.

Payments upon the birth of a second child

Just a few years ago, state support for families was at an insignificant level, because the financial assistance received could not even cover the costs of basic necessities.

But now the situation has changed dramatically. At the moment, there are bills aimed at providing financial assistance to parents.

To support families, payments will be increased for the birth of a second child in 2020.

The state provides financial support to families who have become parents through a variety of benefits, which make it possible to worry less about costs when a new member of society appears. Absolutely all women in labor can receive most of them. What financial assistance can young mothers expect?

• When registered before the 12th week of pregnancy.
• Reimbursement of funds spent on vitamins.
• One-time payment at the birth of each child.
• Care allowance until the child reaches 1.5 years of age.
• Material support for low-income families.
• Regional support.
• A subsidy accrued until the child reaches three years of age.
• Maternal capital.

It is necessary to take into account the fact that officially working mothers receive significant amounts of maternity and childcare benefits.

But even without maternity benefits, unemployed women will receive government financial support.

First, you should figure out which benefits will be accrued in the form of a one-time fixed amount, the same for everyone, and which require monthly payments until a certain age of the child.

One-time payments upon the birth of a second child

This financial assistance consists of several payments.

• The very first is possible long before the baby arrives. It is provided to expectant mothers who contact the antenatal clinic in advance (up to 12 weeks) to register for pregnancy. The amount will be approximately 655 rubles. But it is necessary to understand that these payments are not provided for women in labor who have a job.
• The second benefit refers to a one-time payment that parents receive upon the birth of their first, second and subsequent children. The approximate amount is 17,479 rubles. It is paid to everyone, regardless of parents’ employment and their level of income, social and financial status.

The above figures may increase slightly. This is due to the annual indexation of benefits. Therefore, they can grow by an average of 4-5%.

• The third payment is a refund for vitamins if they are not issued. In many regions, it is carried out using receipts provided for several packages at once.

Due to an error by some accountants, maternity payments are also included in lump sum benefits. But this is wrong, because they may not exist due to the lack of official employment. Therefore, to avoid confusion, such payments will not be considered here.

In many regions of the country, there are additional programs to encourage families who want to have another child. In this case, they can receive additional funds provided at the local level.

The amount of these payments depends entirely on where you live. Therefore, it can be large enough to provide the baby with everything necessary for the first time. Such payments include those that are accrued one-time.

What changes will affect maternity capital?

Maternity capital, although it is a one-time benefit, due to the presence of certain factors, cannot be considered as such. This is due to the fact that it is a certificate issued upon the birth of a baby, with a certain denomination. It is impossible to cash out funds - this is punishable by law. Only women who have given birth to a second, third, etc. can count on it. child. That is, you can apply for it even after the birth of your third or fourth baby, if you have not received it before.

Those who are planning or will give birth in 2020 are in luck, as they will have the opportunity to receive a certificate, because the program has been extended. But it is worth paying attention to the fact that it will only be valid until 2021. It is also planned to increase the amount of payments starting next year.

Over the past few years, maternity capital has never been indexed, so all this time the amount remained the same. Although inflation compensation will not be carried out for the entire period, it is expected that the payment will increase by approximately 4%. Therefore, you should expect about 470 thousand rubles.

But this is only an assumption, so it is better to stay with the previous figures for now. Now the certificate contains the amount of 453,026 rubles.

Money can be spent not only on the baby through whom it was received, but also on any other family member:

• Can be used to pay for educational services;
• As initial capital or repayment of a home loan;
• And also to pay for the treatment of disabled children.

Allowance for caring for a child until he reaches 1.5 years of age

Planned payments for up to one and a half years have long become commonplace for all mothers. As you know, absolutely everyone is entitled to them, regardless of whether they are employed. Therefore, both students and the unemployed can count on them. But it is worth noting that the amount of money received for each of them will be very different.

For example, for mothers who had an official job before the birth of the baby, in 2020, the benefit is calculated based on the amount of wages. It is impossible to say a specific figure, since it will be completely individual for everyone. But it is quite easy to calculate it yourself.

This benefit is paid in the amount of 40% of the mother’s average salary calculated over the last two years.

There are certain limits for these charges. The maximum payment amount will not exceed 26,152 rubles.

That is, even with an income above 50 thousand rubles per month, it is impossible to receive more than the specified amount.

Accordingly, there is a minimum allowable amount. It is received by those who had a minimum salary, or the person was not officially employed. The payment amount will be 6554 rubles.

We remind you that indexation is planned, so next year the amount may be slightly increased.

A separate category includes unemployed women whose husband is a military man. This applies to those whose father was undergoing military service at the time of the birth of the child.

In this situation, the mother will receive a minimum benefit equal to 11,863 rubles, excluding possible indexation.

Regional support

When calculating payments for the birth of a second child, you need to look not at the federal programs provided for megacities, but at the information from your region/city regarding payments.

This is due to the fact that in each of them there may be different types of surcharges. It is also worth taking into account the availability of various local programs that are provided by the city or region.

In addition, there can be a wide variety of gifts for mothers.

Eg:

• A couple of years ago in Tomsk, women in labor were given double bonuses when receiving a birth certificate.
• In addition to the mandatory so-called northern surcharge, they were given a set of baby care products.
• In some areas, along with all sorts of gift sets, mothers with two children are entitled to additional benefits.

In order to find out whether you have such programs, you need to contact the social security office at your place of residence, because they are not implemented at the federal level and may vary in each region. In connection with this, the size of the subsidies provided can vary dramatically and reach quite decent amounts.

For certain families where a second child is born, another small but pleasant bonus may appear. They are given the opportunity to use the dairy kitchen or receive baby food without collecting any documents.

Benefit for low-income families

This form of subsidies for the birth of a second child has become a kind of incentive to participate in increasing the birth rate in the country. The reason for this was that these are real funds, unlike maternity capital, which cannot be cashed out and can only be used in certain cases. The time when the child is not even one and a half years old, and the mother does not have the opportunity to start earning money, is the most difficult for the family, since there is no additional source of income, and expenses increase. If the breadwinner does not have a job or for other reasons, everyone will be left without a livelihood.

For families with two children, this situation is risky. Receiving at least one living wage allows you to relax at least a little. It is for such cases, when each person in the family does not have at least one and a half times the subsistence minimum, that this program exists.

It is also planned to change the required income level of recipients. That is, to receive this benefit, one family member should not have more than two subsistence minimums required in the place of residence.

Therefore, when calculating possible payments, take into account what the cost of living is in your region.

By the way:

• in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug for mothers with two children, the payment amount will not exceed 22 thousand rubles;
• and in many other areas you will have to be content with nine thousand.

It is also worth noting that this benefit for the first and second child is taken from different sources. After the second birth, funds are deducted from maternity capital, and they will be relevant only until the baby is 1.5 years old. But do not despair, because it is planned to change the duration of the periods during which financial state support will be accrued.

Subsidy for child care until he reaches 3 years of age

In 2019, the president spoke about the need to develop a new project, which involves calculating benefits that are significantly different from the others. In principle, it will be similar to financial support for families with a minimum income.

It is supposed to be paid until the child turns 3 years old. But there is a limitation. These payments are available to a family where each member does not have to pay double the minimum subsistence level. For example, in a complete family with two children with an income above 80 thousand or more, it is impossible to receive this assistance.

At the moment, the draft law has not yet entered into force, as it was adopted only in the first reading. Therefore, the conditions for assigning payments may change, and their implementation may be rejected or postponed.

It is worth noting that there is still no information about where funds will be allocated to pay it, as well as on what basis they will be allocated.

It is possible that here subsidies will be received in the same way as when receiving benefits for children under one and a half years old. That is, perhaps the first funds will be provided from the budget, and when the second child appears, from maternity capital.

But we remind you that obtaining this certificate is limited until 2021. That is, it is still unknown what awaits these subsidies for child care up to 1.5 and 3 years after the expiration of this period.

It is possible that the emergence of new payments may cause changes in the system for assessing the standard of living of a family.

Therefore, to understand whether financial assistance is required, new methods can be applied that can use the information provided by state-owned banks. Such checks also involve the fight against dishonest employers.

All employers will be subject to total control in order to identify various frauds in the paper and real wages of employees.

Payments upon the birth of a second child in 2020, taking into account existing and proposed benefits, will be able to help support children in families where there are problems with money. The most noticeable and significant assistance is the extended opportunity to use maternity capital by obtaining certificates.

 

Most other payments are not generous - the payments received, even if a second child is born, are very modest. Only having an official job and, accordingly, maternity benefits will allow you to look into the future calmly.

It remains to be hoped that the fight against concealing the real income of citizens will be able to force unemployed women to look for official work so that they can receive significant funds for childcare.
