Paternal capital: conditions for receiving for 3 children

In 2018, for the first time in the last 10 years, a decrease in the population of Russia was recorded. The Commission of the Public Chamber for the support of family, motherhood and childhood, within the framework of the national project “Demography”, proposed a new program aimed at improving the demographic situation in the country.

• It includes the creation of an all-Russian project “A Country with Many Children”.
• The development is based on the study of demographic processes and the results of the implementation of budget projects in various countries.

In Russia, 90% of the funds from the implemented national project “Demography” go to families with one or two children.

In countries with high demographics, the recipients of 40% of funds allocated to support families with children are large families.

According to the developers of the budget project “Father’s Capital”, its implementation will stimulate the processes of reproduction of the Russian population through the payment of subsidies to stable families raising three or more children.

Sociological studies confirm that the desire to have a third child more often comes from the father . Current programs take into account the role of motherhood, while underestimating the role of the father in the family.

Conditions for receiving paternal capital

1. The developers of the project have determined the conditions that serve as the basis for receiving a subsidy and make it possible to eliminate possible abuses (concluding fictitious marriages in order to obtain an additional source of funds).
2. According to the program developers, families that meet the following requirements will be able to benefit from state financial support:

1.  families that have three or more children will receive paternal capital;
2.  all children must be born in one registered marriage.

apply for a certificate for paternal capital at the territorial office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of residence (stay) or actual residence, at branches of the MFC.

• Download a sample application
• The following documents are attached to the application:

• proof of identity, place of residence (stay) or actual residence;
• confirming the birth (adoption) of children;
• confirming the citizenship of the Russian Federation of a child, in connection with whose birth (adoption) the right to maternal (family) capital arose, as well as a man - the only adoptive parent;
• confirming the death of a woman who gave birth (adopted) children, declaring her dead, depriving her of parental rights, or committing an intentional crime against a child (children).

For which child is the benefit issued?

The goal of implementing the program is to increase the number of large families.

According to the developers, taking into account the experience of different countries, changes in the demographic situation are expected when the state introduces additional material support for large families.

Based on this, families in Russia will have the right to receive benefits at the birth of their third and subsequent children . All children should live and be raised in a family.

What can you spend your capital on?

According to the authors of the project presented by the Public Chamber, the father’s capital can be used to improve the family’s living conditions, to educate children , pay for the services of kindergartens or nurseries, or to the father’s funded pension.

What year does the bill come into force?

The initiators have not yet announced a specific date for the implementation of the project. The development is currently in the discussion stage. Some experts agree that the subsidy will begin to be paid as early as 2019 . in 2020 more likely .

In which regions of Russia will paternal capital operate?

According to the authors of the project, its implementation will begin in the regions of the Far East as part of the implementation of the development program for this region. Priority for launch time includes such geopolitically important regions as the Kaliningrad region and Crimea . In the future, payments will be extended to other regions of the country.

Paternal capital payment amount

The planned amount of payments to fathers with many children is comparable to the amount of maternity capital, which since 2017 is 453 thousand rubles .

The authors of the project emphasize that the introduction of paternal capital payments increases the currently underestimated role of responsible fatherhood and strengthens the financial stability of a large family.

Examples of receiving

It turns out, as it is written on the official website of the Pension Fund of Russia, 260 fathers received a certificate for maternal (family) and paternal capital in the Novosibirsk region in 2017 .

Father's capital: What can the money be spent on?

Paternal capital can be paid in the same way as maternal capital - after the third child. The decline in the birth rate is forcing the state to think about additional measures to support families and stimulate demographic growth. Constantinople decided to figure out what the prospects are for introducing paternal capital in Russia?

His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus' recently called for support for fathers and single fathers with many children and to think about creating paternal capital or pension benefits for them.

In his opinion, the role of motherhood is always put in first place, and the work of fathers, who share the burden of raising children with their wives, remains unnoticed.

The Primate of the Russian Church wrote about this in his article based on his speech at the XXIII Congress of the World Russian People's Council.

The current year is marked, in particular, by the aggravation of the demographic crisis in Russia - the natural population decline is progressing. And this problem requires urgent and specific solutions from the government, namely: the introduction of appropriate programs that would correct the situation.

The prospect of introducing paternal capital has not just been discussed. The Public Chamber discussed the prospect of its implementation back in July.

We still evaluate the latest research by sociologists, which show that the father often initiates the birth of a third child.

And in order to somehow reflect the growing role of the father in family policy, this proposal, it seems to me, deserves attention.

In large families, in half the cases the mother no longer works, and the father bears an additional burden of ensuring the economic well-being and sustainability of the family,

– Deputy Chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation for Support of Family, Motherhood and Childhood Sergei Rybalchenko shared with Tsargrad.

Indeed, the more children there are in a family, the more often a woman leaves work and devotes herself to children. But a man has to earn money, earn extra money, and his father’s capital could be a good help for a large family. A man needs to feel that his fatherhood of many children is encouraged by the state and society in material terms.

By the way, the Public Chamber proposes a broader target list for the use of funds in the father’s capital than in the mother’s capital.

For example, to give the family the opportunity to use funds for housing, for the education of children, for the development of a family business, farming, or for the purchase of a car.

The amount should be equal to maternity capital, which in 2020 will already be 470,241 rubles.

Father of many children, public figure Roman Khudyakov, on the air of the “Editorial Duty” program on the Tsargrad TV channel, said the following:

For the region, the amount of paternal capital of 470 thousand rubles is significant. If the money can be spent on your own business, then this will provide an opportunity to develop the business, create jobs, and pay all taxes. It turns out that the state helps families with one hand, and earns money with the other. The idea is very good.

“In addition to one-time support,” Khudyakov continued, “I believe that large families need to be helped on a monthly basis. However, the state also needs to understand why the birth rate has fallen. It's simple.

People, first of all, think about where they will live, find funds for education and raising a child.

And the logic of the majority is clear: why should we give birth, why should we raise the demographics if the state does not help us?”

During an all-Russian survey conducted by the Public Chamber, it turned out that the majority of respondents consider it necessary to use their father’s capital when buying a home or when building or improving their own home. Many answered that they would spend the money on higher professional education for their children and on purchasing a car.

Our latest study shows that 38 percent of families do not even know about the availability of certain social support measures,” said Sergei Rybalchenko.

“And there are a large number of such measures, and it is very important that every family knows that potential support exists and they can take advantage of it.

Moreover, it is possible to choose independently the areas in which this support can be provided.

As planned, one of the main conditions for receiving the payment should be the appearance of all children in one marriage.

Why do we say that this capital should be paid for the third and subsequent children born in the same family? – Rybalchenko explained. “This means that, first of all, we must support the very stability of the family, support family values.

However, there are those who are not so optimistic about paternal capital. For example, the head of the Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children, Tamara Pletnyova, criticized the idea, saying that maternity capital in itself is already family capital. In her opinion, only single fathers may need separate payments.

Many journalists immediately latched on to Pletnyova’s phrase and hastened to make headlines that the State Duma did not support the proposal of Patriarch Kirill and the Public Chamber.

Actually this is not true. The initiative has not yet been even considered or discussed in the lower house of parliament. For now, the ground is only being prepared and public opinion is being formed.

It is worth noting that the deliberate desire to thicken the clouds and collect traffic on news with a negative connotation only adds a fly in the ointment to a good start.

Well, what’s wrong if we have another additional payment in our country to support large families and single fathers? Moreover, it is first proposed to work out the payment of “father’s capital” as an experiment in the Far East - within the framework of the national development program for the region. There, the implementation of the project will require 70–80 billion rubles over five years.

There is an idea to also include the Kaliningrad region, Sevastopol and Crimea among the pilot regions of the first stage. It is planned to include the demographically depressed regions of the Central and Northwestern Federal Districts in the second wave, and at the final stage all other subjects of the Federation.

And in conclusion, we add: according to the latest survey conducted by the same Public Chamber, 74 percent of respondents support the introduction of paternal capital.

About half believe that the amount of paternal capital should be equal to the size of federal maternal capital, and about 34 percent of respondents said that payments should be twice as high.

These are the results. Moreover, 93 percent of those who took part in the survey were women.

Sometimes they say, will women support us, will we violate women’s rights? Women support the introduction of paternal capital,

– said Sergei Rybalchenko, Deputy Chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation for Support of Family, Motherhood and Childhood.

Father's capital. What is it, conditions amount

Many Russians are familiar with maternity capital. But relatively recently, a new term began to appear in the information space - paternal capital. Today we will tell you what it means, what conditions for supporting large families it implies and for what amount.

Paternal capital is a proposed measure of support for large families with a third child or more. In our country, maternity capital is provided for the second child, but for the third child there is no financial assistance of similar scope. The problem must be solved by paternal capital.

However, we note once again that for now these are only proposals that have not taken the form of law. The proposal was first voiced in a report by the Public Chamber this year. Considering the active demographic policy pursued by the state today, there are serious chances that, at least partially, such proposals to support a third child will come true.

Why is there a need for paternal capital?

The Public Chamber reported that in 2016, after a slight increase in 2013-2015, the birth rate began to decline again, and natural population growth gave way to decline. These processes are seriously influenced by factors such as the demographic hole of the 1990s and the fall in real incomes of the population.

As a successful example that will help break the negative trend, the authors recalled the experience of the Sakhalin region. Here, thanks to large-scale programs to support large families, a significant increase in the birth rate was recorded. The number of families with a large number of children in the Sakhalin region has doubled over 5 years.

According to the calculations of the report’s authors, if the Sakhalin experience of supporting families is launched throughout the country, this will require significant injections of funds in the amount of up to 2% of GDP annually. But this is still much less than in European countries that today are pursuing policies to stimulate the birth rate.

Also analyzing the provisions of the national project on demography, the Public Chamber noted that most of the funds provided for by the project are aimed at payments for the first or second child in the family. Families with a third child receive only 10% of the total planned project funds.

The author of the report proposed, within the framework of the national project, to develop a separate direction to support large families. The main measure of support here should be paternal capital.

Dad's capital amount

According to the proposal of the Public Chamber, the amount of support for the third child should be equal to maternity capital for the second child. Let us remind you that in 2019 the amount of maternity capital is 453 thousand rubles. In 2020, they want to index the amount of assistance for the second child, as a result of which the amount of support will be 466 thousand rubles.

If the proposal on paternal capital is accepted, it turns out that large families will have the opportunity to receive double capital - for the second and third child. This will be significant financial support. Financially stable families will not need to take out microloans on the card and will not have to borrow money to last until the next paycheck.

Conditions for issuing assistance

The conditions for issuing assistance look quite simple. In particular, the applicant must meet the following criteria:

• The appearance of a third child in the family
• The birth of all three children in one family
• Presence of a registered marriage

Dad's capital will be paid only once. However, it should not replace maternity capital. These two forms of support are expected to operate simultaneously.

In which regions can the support program be launched?

According to the authors of the report, a new demographic set of measures, which will also include paternal capital, will require significant investments in family policy. According to the proposals, the program should start from the Far East, where 5.5% of the country’s population lives today. Also among the priority regions should be the Kaliningrad region, Sevastopol, and Crimea.

During the second stage, a set of measures will be launched in the weakest regions in terms of demographics in the Central and Northwestern federal districts. At the final stage, all regions of the country will join the project.

What can the money be spent on?

An important issue that is of great importance for all Russians is the moment of using funds. Since everything so far only exists on paper and in the form of proposals, it is too early to talk about directions for using paternal capital.

But there are already responses from Russians and their wishes regarding what the money could be spent on. According to the results of monitoring by the Public Chamber, it is known that 74% of families today support the introduction of paternal capital.

Most often, Russians named the following areas for spending funds:

• Purchasing residential property
• Mortgage repayment
• Purchasing a car for the family

What kind of help is offered today for a third child?

When discussing forms of support for large families, it is necessary to note the systematic work of the authorities in this direction. Among the latest initiatives, mortgage compensation, which appeared this year, should be highlighted.

The bottom line is that citizens who have a third child in their family from 2019 to 2022 are helped with repaying their mortgage. They help in the amount of 450 thousand rubles. Thus, the lucky person who meets the conditions contacts the bank where he has an unpaid mortgage and asks to write off the indicated amount at the expense of the state.

If a large family does not have a mortgage loan, they can always get one. This must be done before 2023. Accordingly, after the loan is issued, the family can benefit from compensation.

With a mortgage, a family can buy a finished apartment, a new building, or even a plot of land to build a house. Real estate must be located in the country. You can buy it from both individuals and legal entities.

Some experts are already calling mortgage compensation new maternity capital for the third child. Let's imagine that a second and then a third child appeared in the family.

If a family has a mortgage loan from a bank, they can pay off the debt from the state budget in the amount of 900 thousand rubles, which includes maternal capital at the level of 450 thousand rubles, as well as mortgage compensation in the same amount.

In some regions of the country, you can buy an entire apartment for this amount.

Matkapital: main directions

Maternity capital remains a significant form of support for Russian families. It is paid for the birth of a second child in the family. Citizens can spend money on 3 key areas, including improving housing conditions, forming a funded part of a pension, and educating children.

The most popular direction in Russia remains improving the quality of living conditions. With the help of state support funds, Russians buy apartments, pay off mortgage loans, etc.

Many citizens want to be allowed to spend maternity capital on purchasing a vehicle. Similar bills are periodically submitted to the State Duma, but each time they are rejected.

Therefore, today citizens can only count on regional maternity capital. In some regions of the country, it can be used to buy a car.

Paternal capital: conditions, amount, law and how to get it

The state is applying a set of measures to improve the demographic situation. A new program - father's capital - has been proposed as additional financial support. It is planned that special benefits will begin in 2020.

What is paternal capital?

The rationale for the creation of this program is set out in the report of S. Rybalchenko, officially presented at the plenary meeting of the RF OP in the summer of 2019. The following unfavorable factors are noted in the statistical part:

• decrease in the population of the Russian Federation since 2016 after several years of growth;
• a decrease in the number of newborn children in Russia to 2007 levels;
• return of the fertility rate per woman to less than 1.7 (comparable to 2011 figures).

A detailed examination of current measures focuses on the lack of support for large families at the birth of a third child. To eliminate this shortcoming, a special financial support scheme has been proposed. The general conditions are expected to be made by analogy with the current maternity capital program.

Legislation

Currently, S. Rybalchenko’s initiative has been approved by the President of the Russian Federation and has received support from legislative bodies. The formation of legal documents has begun.

According to current information, the provisions of the adopted law (Federal Law No. 256 of December 29, 2006) will be used as a basis.

It is planned to expand the right to use financial assistance not only to improve living conditions, but also for other needs:

• child's education;
• purchase of vehicles;
• purchase of equipment for running personal farming;
• replenishment of the savings part of the parents’ pension fund.

Conditions

Since a special law on paternal capital has not yet been adopted, it is possible to provide data only according to current standards. Additionally, it is necessary to take into account the announced initiatives. According to available information, in addition to expanded use, several conditions should be noted for receiving government financial assistance:

• birth of a third (4th or subsequent child);
• official registration of marriage relations.

For your information! Let's take into account adopted children. You cannot receive paternal capital for a child in different families.

What is the amount of payments provided?

It is expected that the amount to be accrued will be comparable to the amount of current payments. According to the plan, maternity capital will be increased to 466,000 rubles in 2020.

The calculation confirms that to implement the new initiative, an additional allocation of funds from the state budget in the amount of >1 trillion rubles is necessary.

Cumulative measures are aimed at improving demographic indicators. In particular, the fertility rate should exceed 1.9.

Calculator

When the paternity equity law comes into force, you can use the money received to make a down payment or pay off existing mortgage debt. For the convenience of economic calculations, this section presents a specialized program. Using the calculator, you can clarify changes in regular payments taking into account different initial conditions.

On what date will the law come into force?

The first beneficiaries will receive paternal capital in 2020. The first stage involves testing the support scheme in individual Russian regions. The initiator of the program proposes to begin the implementation of legislative norms with the Far Eastern Federal District.

Taking into account the relatively small population, financing will require a little more than 70 billion rubles, which will not create an excessive burden on the budget.

At the same time, it is planned to include territorial entities with a special status in the program: Crimea and the Kaliningrad region.

At the next stage, preferential conditions will be offered to residents of the Central and Northwestern federal districts. Further support will be provided to other regions. The basic criterion for joining the paternity capital program will be an average birth rate below 2.15 per woman.

How to get

The conditions for receiving paternal capital will not differ significantly from the current rules. Below is an algorithm of actions used in Moscow and the Moscow region. If necessary, it is not difficult to make corrections taking into account the specifics of another region.

You can apply for a certificate using several methods:

• in remote access mode after official registration on the State Services portal;
• in the same way (online) on the official website of the Pension Fund;
• in person at the territorial branch of the Pension Fund of Russia (specialized center for public services).

For your information! When living outside the territory of the Russian Federation, citizens apply to the Moscow or regional division of the Pension Fund of Russia. It is understood that in this situation there is no registration of place of residence (stay).

Review of the application will take no more than two weeks. The law establishes a maximum permissible period of 1 month. After approval, the decision is sent within five working days to the specified details. The certificate can be issued as follows:

• in standard form on paper using forms of the strict reporting category;
• electronic file certified by a qualified signature of the responsible executor.

The refusal must include justified reasons. The actual availability of rights to receive the required state support for the third child is checked. Compliance with the conditions for receiving paternal capital discussed above is clarified. It is necessary to fill out the application correctly without typos, corrections or other defects.

Package of documents

In addition to a civil passport and a completed application to receive paternal capital for 3 children, they provide:

• birth (adoption) certificates of children;
• documentary evidence of Russian citizenship;
• notarized power of attorney (if actions are performed using an order).

The application shall include the following information:

• status (father, mother, child);
• citizenship;
• gender, date and place of birth;
• a document used for personal identification;
• SNILS number;
• address of actual place of residence, contact telephone number;
• data of the authorized person (if necessary);
• information about all children (natural and adopted) in order of birth.

The same document separately confirms:

• absence of a previously issued similar certificate;
• personal responsibility for the correctness of the information provided;
• desire to receive a document on paper or in electronic form;
• postal address for receipt;
• list of applications.

Taking into account the specifics of real initial conditions, additional documentary evidence of the following information about parents (adoptive parents) may be needed:

• of death;
• intentional crimes against the person;
• cancellation of a previously registered adoption;
• deprivation of parental rights.

News

A special law on paternity capital for 3 children may come into force in 2020. It is possible that federal programs will be supplemented by special events at the regional level. Current thematic news will help to obtain additional information for accurate planning of actions for potential recipients of financial assistance.

A public discussion of paternal capital is being organized in Bashkiria. According to officials, the money will be given after confirmation of the birth of the third child in the family. It is expected that existing benefits will be maintained.

Therefore, it is permissible to simultaneously receive funds from the father’s capital in the amount of the mother’s. Information sources emphasize the need to give birth (raise) children in the same family and formalize the marriage.

The plan for the entry into force of legislative initiatives from 2020 is confirmed.

RIA Novosti reports support for the federal initiative of father's capital by the overwhelming majority of families surveyed (74%). This information was obtained based on the results of the monitoring in the materials of the specialized commission of the RF OP. The following figures confirm the intended purpose of additional funds (in%):

• improvement of living conditions – 80;
• repayment of mortgage debt – 68;
• purchase of transport – 61.

Alternative father capital

Is it possible to implement the presented project; when legislation will be adopted; who can count on receiving money; how much funds will be allocated for paternal capital - until specific decisions are made, it is impossible to accurately answer the questions raised.

Some conclusions can be drawn after studying the decision-making process on allocating 450,000 rubles to large families. The main features are listed below:

• in February 2019, Putin ordered the creation of a support mechanism - 07/03. the same year a special law came into force;

Paternal capital in Russia: conditions for receiving, amount of payment for the 3rd child

The decline in the birth rate is encouraging authorities to introduce new programs to support families with children. Often people do not have more than two children due to financial difficulties.

At the moment, a bill is being considered to introduce a new payment - paternal capital .

A cash subsidy will be provided to men who have three or more children born in one marriage.

What is paternal capital for the 3rd child and who is entitled to it?

Since 2007, the Russian Federation has had a maternity capital program. After a ten-year period, it was considered successful and was therefore extended.

But, despite a certain increase in the number of families with two children, birth rates are gradually declining.

At the state level, various projects are being developed primarily aimed at increasing the number of parents with many children.

• Firstly, the parents must be in a registered marriage.
• Second, the father must be biologically related to all three children. Thus, the project is entirely designed to increase the birth rate and does not affect adoption.

After news about the new bill appeared online, many citizens became confused about maternity capital. According to official data, fathers also receive it from time to time. This is permissible if the mother has died or been deprived of parental rights. However, this is not paternal capital. At the moment, the program to encourage conscious fatherhood is not yet implemented in Russia.

When will the official bill be introduced - latest news

There are no specific implementation dates for the project yet. The proposal itself came up for discussion only in May 2019 and is for now purely advisory in nature. It will likely take at least a year for the law to come into force.

Subject to positive implementation, paternal capital will be introduced throughout the country.

Clarifying when the law will come into force, we note that according to the plan, a pilot program will begin in several regions in 2020. The project is planned to be organized everywhere by 2025. Let us note that there will be a gradual implementation throughout Russia.

First the above regions, then the Northwestern and central districts. In regions with high birth rates, this program will be updated last. The priority task of the state in these regions is to improve the well-being of the population.

Conditions of receipt

When developing the project, specialists tried to take into account all aspects. On the one hand, the program should become a real help to large families, on the other hand, it cannot provoke actions aimed at enrichment without real grounds. The conditions for receiving funds are as follows:

1. A third child is born in the family.
2. The parents' marriage union is officially registered.
3. All children were born from a single father in one union.

It is planned that the registration of paternal capital will be implemented through the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

There are still some inaccuracies in the program, for example, it is not known whether a man will be able to receive a payment if he has registered his father’s maternity capital.

This benefit is provided for the second and subsequent children born after 2008, therefore, a situation may arise when a parent has three children born within the same marriage, but the mother has died.

Legislators are in no hurry to give answers to these kinds of questions, because they require separate discussion.

Amount of payments to large families

While there is no exact information regarding the amount of paternal capital , it is assumed that the amount will be similar to the maternal benefit, that is, 453,000 rubles . Please note that by the start of the project implementation, the size of the capital may also change.

Considering one of the goals of the program is to emphasize the importance of the institution of responsible fatherhood, the financial ratio of payments is logical . Let us note that in addition to this benefit, which will be financed from the federal budget, a large family receives a range of payments from regional authorities. The amount and conditions for receiving cash grants depend on the subject.

Let's look at how to get paternal capital:

1. Comply with all conditions set within the project.
2. Collect a basic package of documents.
3. Contact the Pension Fund at your place of registration.

All steps must be performed by a man.

What can the payment be spent on?

At the moment, there is no clear answer to the question of what the father’s capital can be spent on. Most likely, the directions will be similar to the current program for mothers. That is, the money will be spent on:

There is a possibility that the range of spending will increase. As for when the money can be used, the question is still open. Note that access to maternity capital appears three years after the birth of the second child. Considering that a limited number of families will already have the right to paternity, there is a chance that the money will be issued immediately.

Will the father's capital program operate in Crimea?

The highest authorities of the Russian Federation invited the managers of Crimea to become one of the first subjects where the father's capital program will be implemented.

Currently, in the new southern regions of Russia there is a decrease in the birth rate.

In this regard, promoting an increase in the number of large families, accompanied by financial assistance from the state, will have a positive impact on natural population growth.

Residents of Crimea were enthusiastic about the idea of ​​​​introducing their father's capital. Families that already have one or two children did not decide on a third primarily because of financial issues. And if you add up the two capitals, the amount is almost a million. With that kind of money you can buy housing or give your children a decent education.

Considering all the benefits that the birth of a third child provides, an increasing number of families in Crimea are committed to expanding their family. Also, as experts note, such a program stimulates the preservation of the traditional family, as well as the official registration of marriage.

Receipt conditions for Kaliningrad

The Kaliningrad region is a subject of Russia with a special status. Since the region is separated from the main territory of the country, life in the city and its environs is different. In recent years, not only the outflow of residents, but also a decrease in natural growth has become obvious. In this regard, the region was chosen as one of the few as a pilot region for the father's capital program.

The conditions for receiving the payment are still being discussed, but there is reliable information that they will not differ depending on the region, since this is a federal program. At the moment there is information that money will be provided if:

• The family has 3 children;
• All babies were born from the same father and mother;
• The marriage between the spouses is officially registered;
• Both parents are citizens of the Russian Federation, permanently residing in the Kaliningrad region.

As for the amount and directions of spending, the situation is similar with maternity capital. Potentially, the father will be able to receive 453,000 rubles if the payment amount is not increased by the time the project starts.

Is there paternal capital for the 2nd or 4th child?

The essence of the program is to encourage families to have a third child, so payments will be assigned only if a third child appears in one union. Along with this, this may be a man’s fourth or fifth child; only minors within the same marriage are taken into account.

However, you should not think that there are no special payments for other children. Let's look at the key benefits provided to families with children:

In addition to these benefits, there are also regional assistance programs. They differ depending on the financial capabilities of local authorities and the needs of the subjects.

For example, in areas with low birth rates, large payments are provided for the 2nd and 3rd children in the family.

Where natural population growth rates are high, maximum financial support is given to parents raising more than four children.

Based on this, we can draw the following conclusion: despite the fact that paternal capital does not apply to the second and fourth child within the same family, parents will receive decent financial assistance from the state.

In 2019, consideration of a bill related to the launch of the father's capital program began. It is planned to introduce additional financial incentives for families where a third baby is born.

The father will receive the payment provided that he is related to all the children and is officially married to their mother. The amount of the benefit will be the same as maternity capital.

At the moment, the project is still under consideration, so adjustments are possible, both in the conditions for providing funds and in the amount of payment.

Father's capital. — Lawyer Plus

It is no secret that large families are supported in Russia, including with the help of funds allocated from the regional or federal budget. Our country has several government programs aimed at improving the demographic situation, and one of them is the program for providing maternity capital. In May 2019, the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation submitted for consideration a new bill regarding the provision of cash payments to families with three or more children, that is, the so-called paternal capital, which is provided for parents with many children.

In Russia, more than ten years ago, they began paying families with a second child 250 thousand rubles, now the amount, taking into account indexation and inflation, has reached more than 450 thousand rubles. Social support measures have somewhat improved the demographic situation in the country.

What is paternal capital and who will it be entitled to according to the law?!

The conditions for receiving paternal capital are very similar to the conditions for receiving maternal capital, but there is one “but” - families with three or more children can count on it.

Also, to receive paternal capital, conditions must be met, such as living and raising children in the same family.

All children must be together, and step-children or adopted children must be officially adopted.

Like maternal capital, paternal capital cannot be cashed out, because this money can only be spent for its intended purpose.

In particular, this is improving living conditions, buying housing, construction, repaying loans, educating a child, or this money can be put into the father’s personal account to form the funded part of the pension.

It should also be noted that state financial assistance to children with many children can be directed either to one or divided into several goals. In particular, leave part of the money for the child’s education, and use the other part to pay off loan obligations.

When will the bill come into force?

The law has not yet entered into force, and it has not been signed by the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. It is planned that the Federal Law will be approved and come into force around 2024-2025. In some regions, the law on paternal capital will be in effect in test mode starting in 2020.

It is unknown which regions will participate in the experiment, but sources close to the official authorities indicate that this could be the Far East and the Trans-Baikal Territory. At the same time, the monetary investment will be quite substantial.

If the experiment to introduce the new bill is implemented in the Far Eastern District, then, according to preliminary estimates, about seventy-two million rubles will be needed to implement it.

Payments on paternal capital under the certificate can only be received once. The amount of social assistance based on “paternal capital” is compared with maternal capital. In the period 2007-2020, financial assistance to mothers is equal to 453 thousand rubles.

At the same time, married spouses will have access to two family capitals after the birth of their third child. To implement this project, it will be necessary to raise more than 1 trillion rubles, which is 2% of the country’s GDP annually.

With these measures, the fertility rate is expected to increase significantly by 2024.

Conditions for receiving paternal capital

The “Demography” project, which provides for the payment of paternal capital, began to be developed a couple of years ago. In countries with high demographics, forty percent of funds and subsidies go to families with three or more children.

According to the developers of the budget project, its implementation will help stimulate the natural birth rate in our country, because it is no secret that recently, according to the population census, it is in a rather sad state. Before receiving paternal capital, certain conditions must be met.

They serve as the basis for excluding abuse of trust and obtaining funds illegally for the purpose of enrichment.

First of all, when contacting government agencies, the following will be taken into account:

• All children must be born not in a civil marriage, but in an officially registered marriage;
• Only large families receive paternal capital. In the Russian Federation, families with more than three born or officially adopted children are recognized as having many children.

An application for paternal capital is submitted to the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund at the place of residence of the family. You can also contact the multifunctional center of the MFC.

The application is written in simple written form and the following types of documents are attached to it:

• Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation (you need a passport of both husband and wife);
• Birth certificates of children;
• If the children in the family were adopted, then it is necessary to provide documents about their official adoption;
• Other types of documents confirming the death of one of the parents or deprivation of parental rights.

According to the authors of the project presented by the Public Chamber, the father’s capital can be used to improve the family’s living conditions, to educate children, pay for the services of kindergartens or nurseries, or to pay for the father’s funded pension.

As noted above, the bill is not yet in force, but according to many legal scholars, after January 2020 it will come into force and then large families will be able to count on social subsidies from government bodies.

In addition to the Far Eastern District, it is planned that paternal capital will be introduced in the Republic of Crimea and the Kaliningrad region.

Such a support measure will make it possible to receive additional funds along with maternity capital, a one-time allowance for the birth of children and regional payments intended for large families.

Father's capital

At the moment, families can receive maternity capital in the amount of 453,029 rubles. (at the birth of a second or subsequent child), as well as 450 thousand rubles. to repay the mortgage (if there are 3 or more children in the family). An additional measure of social support can be paternity capital, which will be paid to the man after the birth of his third child.

What is paternal capital?

Paternal capital will not only become an analogue of maternal capital, which is issued to a woman after the birth of her second or subsequent child.

The list of areas for spending paternal capital will be significantly wider than that of maternal capital.

As of August 2019, only the general conditions for receiving paternal capital are known, since the bill has not been submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation:

• a man will be able to receive paternal capital after the birth of his third or subsequent child;
• all children of a man must be born and raised in the same family in a registered marriage (at the moment there is an alternative proposal to take into account the total number of children born and adopted);
• paternal capital will be allocated once, i.e. You cannot apply for it at the birth of subsequent children.

The initiator of the introduction of paternal capital in Russia was the Public Chamber under the President of the Russian Federation. Although the proposal passed the public hearings favorably, it was not presented as a bill. Therefore, talking about the timing of the introduction of such a social measure. support is impossible, since the Government of the Russian Federation and the State Duma of the Russian Federation do not even have a draft document.

There is a possibility that in 2020 the paternity capital program will be introduced in test mode in the Far East, Kaliningrad region, and Sevastopol. Based on the results of the experiment, the conditions of the program will be clarified and extended throughout the country.

Amount of payment from paternal capital

Based on the results of public hearings, a decision was approved to equate the amount of paternal capital to MSC funds. In 2019, maternity capital is 453,029 rubles, and from the beginning of 2020 it will reach the amount of 470,241 rubles. Therefore, if the law on paternal capital is adopted, in 2020 its size will be 470,241 rubles.

Where and how to get paternal capital

The procedure for submitting an application and allocating paternal capital funds is not yet known. Most likely, the state will adhere to the same rules that apply to maternity capital, i.e. You will have to submit documents to the Pension Fund units or through the MFC.

Where can I spend my father's capital?

An important feature of paternal capital will be an impressive list of areas in which money can be spent. This list includes the same areas as for MSC funds, as well as a number of fundamentally new spending options:

• for the purchase of housing on the primary or secondary housing market, through shared-equity construction;
• to build your own house;
• to pay the down payment on the mortgage, current payments and interest;
• for the child and other family members to receive education;
• for the purchase of vehicles for family needs;
• for the development of peasant (farm) farming, the acquisition of agricultural equipment;
• to open your own business (registration of a business or legal entity, acquisition of fixed assets, other areas).

It is possible that individual areas for spending paternal capital will be determined by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, while at the federal level only a basic list will remain. It will be impossible to receive money in cash, i.e. they will be transferred from the budget for the purposes specified in the statement.

Father's capital

There are several government programs in Russia aimed at improving the demographic situation in the country.

In May 2019, the Public Chamber submitted for consideration a project that provides for paternal capital for 3 children.

More than 10 years ago, Russia began paying an amount of 250,000 rubles to families where a second baby was born. This made it possible to stimulate the birth rate, however, in recent years, its decline has been noted again. The bill is designed to improve the demographic situation and provide additional financial support to large families.

• It is planned that the new payment will be in effect from 2020.
• According to the project, in order to receive a subsidy, the following conditions must be met:
• * A third child appeared in the family.
• *Parents are officially registered.
• * All children are born and raised in the same marriage.
• At the same time, receiving a subsidy does not exclude the possibility of obtaining maternity capital, the amount of which is planned to increase to 470,240 rubles in 2020. (currently the amount is 453,026 rubles)
• “Paternity” payments are an addition and a new incentive for planning a third child.

Funds cannot be received in cash. They can be used, like maternal capital, to improve living conditions, the father’s pension savings or the education of any of the children (including payment for kindergarten).

1. Let me remind you that not only a woman, but also a father can apply for maternity capital for a second child, if he is raising minor children on his own.
2. The planned conditions for receiving “father’s capital” are more stringent.
3. If the receipt of maternity capital is not affected by whether a two-parent family or a woman raises children on her own, then in order to receive a new type of state support, a man must be officially registered with his wife.
4. They note that initially payments will not be made everywhere, but only in certain regions.

It is planned to start from the Far East, Crimea, and the Kaliningrad region. This is due to the fact that currently the demographic situation in these regions is worse than in others.

The second stage of the project involves connecting the Northwestern and Central Federal Districts to the payment.

Over time, the subsidy is planned to be issued in other regions. According to preliminary calculations, more than a trillion rubles will be needed for these purposes over the next 5 years.
