Postnatal payments: for the first child, for the second and third

After the birth of a child, the state pays money. One of the parents can receive all payments. We tell you how to do this.

All child benefits are divided into two types: federal and regional.

Federal benefits. Each and every family in which a child was born receives it. The working parent is paid by the employer through the Social Insurance Fund, and the non-working parent is paid by social security.

Regional benefits. Regions can establish a one-time benefit in connection with the birth of a child.

There is also a monthly allowance from the region. Usually it is received by people with many children or those with low incomes. The conditions for receiving birth benefits are set by the region.

For example, the Volgograd region pays an additional 50 thousand rubles to a woman if she gives birth to a child before the age of 24 - the payment is valid if the child was born in 2019 or later.

In St. Petersburg, for the birth of a first child, they will give 31.1 thousand rubles, regardless of the mother’s age, and if the mother is between 20 and 24 years old, the city will pay another 52.1 thousand on top.

In Moscow, at the birth of a second child, seven subsistence minimums are paid, for 2019 this is 115,241 RUR - it is important that the parents are under 30 years old at the time of the child’s birth.

Regional payments are handled by the social protection authority of the region - OSZN - of the region, so there is no need to try to arrange them at work - the employer has nothing to do with it. Regional payments can be processed through the MFC, and in some regions - government services.

If a child benefit is due to low-income families with a disabled child, it is usually issued through the local OSZN. But this can be done through the MFC - they act as intermediaries between the person and the OSZN.

Depending on whether the parents work, there are several options for receiving payments:

1. at the employer or place of work. A working parent can receive federal benefits this way;
2. at the MFC, social security, government services or Russian Post. Working parents can receive regional payments in this way, while non-working parents can receive federal and regional child benefits.

You can submit documents in person or through an authorized representative. The authorized person must have a power of attorney certified by a notary.

Document packages vary depending on whether the parent works or lives at the place of registration where he is going to receive payment for the child.

There is a basic package of documents that will be needed to process any payment: the child’s birth certificate and a certificate stating that the second parent did not receive such a payment.

A certificate of non-receipt of benefits by the second parent is issued at the accounting department or at the place of duty if the parent works or serves; from the social service agency - if it does not work. If the parent is the only one, he will not need this certificate.

If the second parent works as an individual entrepreneur, then he takes a certificate from the Social Insurance Fund about non-receipt of a one-time child care benefit.

If the second parent does not work and is registered in another district of the city or region, then he needs to take a certificate from the OSZN stating that child benefit was not assigned to him and was not paid from the OSZN of another region or district of the city.

If the parents are divorced , all the money goes to the parent with whom the child remains. Then there is no need to prepare a certificate of unassigned payment to the second parent.

Instead, you need to prepare a divorce certificate and a certificate of family composition in Form 9 - it confirms which parent the child lives with.

If the parents are divorced, then in order to process the payments you need to provide additional documents: a certificate of family composition in Form 9 and a certificate of divorce

If both parents do not work , the parent who will receive childbirth benefits must prepare additional documents:

1. Work record book - if the employer still has the work record book, you need to bring an extract from it, certified by the employer from your last place of work. If there has never been any work, you need to write about this in the application and indicate the reasons why the parent has never worked for work.
2. Bank or post office details for transferring payments.

If the parent is an individual entrepreneur, lawyer, or notary , in order to process payments for the child, he must additionally provide a copy of a document about his status - a license.

It will be possible to apply for a federal benefit through the social insurance fund if the parent has made insurance contributions at least during the last year. If the parent does not pay insurance premiums, through the social service agency.

To receive a one-time federal payment for a child, in addition to basic documents, you need a certificate in Form 24

If a parent goes on vacation before the age of 3, he writes one application in which he indicates this and asks for two benefits - 40% of average earnings until the child is 1.5 years old and 50 R per month from 1.5 to 3 years.

If a parent does not know whether he will go on leave for up to 1.5 or up to 3 years, he can first write an application for leave for up to 1.5 years. If he decides to stay for up to 3 years, he can write a separate statement to the accounting department.

If the company closed and the mother was fired during maternity leave, it is necessary to bring a work book to the social security authority. If the employer has an employment record, then an extract from it certified by that employer. If the employer paid her maternity benefits, she will need a certificate about the amount of the benefit.

The employer or OSZN will assign payments within 10 days after receiving the application and documents. The money will be transferred by the 26th of the next month.

If only one parent works, the family can only receive benefits from that parent's job. If both work, you need to decide who will draw up the paperwork and receive the payment.

One-time payment on the occasion of the birth of a child. A working parent goes to the employer’s accounting department and writes an application for payment.

It is better not to delay submitting the application and documents. If you bring them later than 6 months after the birth of the children, the policyholder will pay benefits only if there is a good reason: an earthquake, flood, fire or other unavoidable circumstances occurred that prevented you from coming and submitting an application.

If the mother did not work and did not go on maternity leave, she can still receive a monthly payment for the child, but it will be minimal: 4465.20 R after the birth of the first child and 6284.65 R for the second. This money will be paid by social security.

Child care benefits can be received by the mother, father or relative - grandparent, who will actually look after the child after his birth. But he needs to be officially employed in order to receive payments from the employer.

If a parent works, through the MFC he will be able to receive payments from the region. If you are unemployed, an individual entrepreneur, a lawyer, a notary, or someone whose professional activity is subject to state registration, all payments can be processed.

How to apply. Come to any MFC with documents. The employee will accept the application and documents and give a receipt for their acceptance. He will tell you when to come for an answer.

Receipt for acceptance of documents for processing child benefits

In OSZN, payments can be received by non-working parents and individual entrepreneurs who have not paid contributions to the Social Insurance Fund.

If the child’s father undergoes military service due to conscription, an additional monthly allowance for the birth of a child is issued by the mother to the OSZN. To do this, the father takes a certificate that he actually serves, indicating the period. With this certificate, the mother goes to the OSZN.

How to apply. Come to the OSZN at your place of residence with documents.

How to apply. Log in to the regional government services portal, fill out the form, attach scans of the required documents and send the application. The system will assign a number to the request by which you can track the status of the application. The result will be sent by email.

You can send documents by Russian Post to process payments to OSZN - this method is suitable for unemployed parents.

How to apply. Make copies of documents: birth certificate, parent’s passport, if necessary, labor document. You must attach the original application and certificates.

You must send the application and documents by registered mail to confirm the fact of departure and its date. Send to the OSZN address at your place of residence.

If not all documents are attached to the application, the OSZN will return the letter within 5 days after receipt and will write in the response the reason for the return.

Payments upon birth of a child: benefits for the first, second and 3 children

Good afternoon, I am interested in a complete list of payments and compensation to the family upon the birth of their first child, including the monthly payment. Where to go for them and what documents are needed, thank you.

At the birth of a child, the parent must receive a lump sum benefit, as well as monthly payments for up to 1.5 years.

Other types of benefits are assigned subject to certain conditions:

• working mothers receive money for registering before the 12th week of pregnancy, as well as maternity benefits and compensation for a baby up to 3 years old;
• wives of military personnel receive an additional lump sum payment during pregnancy, and may also qualify for additional subsidies in the event of the death of a spouse until the child turns 1.5 years old;
• low-income families are provided with targeted assistance upon application and “Putin” payments.

One-time payments

It is useful to remember that the article describes the most common situations and does not take into account many subtleties and nuances. To solve your specific problem, get legal advice through the online consultant form or by calling toll-free:

One-time payments are the amount of material support that is allocated in full immediately. The expectant mother can receive some of these subsidies even before birth:

• payments to working women who registered before the 12th week of pregnancy - 655.49 rubles;
• maternity benefit from the 28th week - 100% of the average salary for the last 2 years.

The latter can be applied for not only by working mothers. Unemployed women who were fired from their last job less than 1 year ago due to the liquidation of the enterprise can count on maternity leave. The employer is also obliged to accept an application for maternity benefits if a woman goes on maternity leave within a month after dismissal for special reasons.

In addition, benefits are paid to full-time students and women who serve under contract. You must submit your application at your place of work or study.

Birth benefit

After the birth of the baby, the mother has the right to a lump sum birth benefit. The amount in 2019 is 17,479.73 rubles, however, increased coefficients are applied in the northern regions of the country. You can apply for money from the moment your baby is born until he is 6 months old.

A lump sum benefit is not received for the birth of a stillborn child.

Parents or legal guardians receive the money. The application is submitted to the accounting department of the organization where one of the parents works or studies. If both guardians are unemployed, then the documents are submitted to the district social protection department. Along with the application for a one-time benefit, you will need a standard package of documents:

• parent's passport;
• medical certificate of the child’s birth in form No. 24;
• child's birth certificate.

How to write an application for a one-time benefit at the birth of a child

Depending on where the documents are submitted, their list may be increased. At the place of work, these are enough, but to the social security authorities you need to bring SNILS, a certificate from the Criminal Code or Housing Office about joint residence and a copy of the last completed pages of the work book.

A mandatory requirement is a certificate of non-payment of benefits to the second parent. It is necessary if the parents are married. The document is ordered from the accounting department of the organization where the second spouse works, and if he is unemployed, from the social security department. This certificate confirms that the benefit was not previously received.

When twins are born, the benefit must be received separately for each, that is, in double size.

Other types of lump sum payments

At the birth of their second and subsequent children, parents receive a certificate for maternity capital in the amount of 453,026 rubles. This subsidy is issued to families where the second and subsequent children were born or adopted after January 1, 2007. You can receive a certificate before the child turns 18 years old at the regional branch of the Pension Fund.

Until what year is the maternity capital program valid?

Pregnant wives of conscripts receive additional support. After the 28th week of pregnancy, the spouse can receive a subsidy in the amount of 27,680 rubles. The application is submitted at the husband's place of service.

Regional benefits

In the regions there is an additional system of incentives for young parents. However, the types of compensation vary greatly. For example, the federal maternity capital program has regional analogues.

In Bashkiria, upon the birth of their first child, young families are paid 300,000 rubles to improve their living conditions. In the Sverdlovsk region they receive 126,405 rubles for the third child.

As in the case of federal maternity capital, money can only be used for certain needs.

Families with children want to simplify the process of applying for benefits

• The State Duma adopted amendments to the law “On monthly payments to families with children” in the first reading.
• They plan to simplify the process of processing documents for receiving a monthly benefit for the birth (adoption) of a first or second child.
• According to the bill, an application for benefits can be submitted not only at the place of registration, but also at the place of stay or actual residence.

Now the application is accepted only in the city where the citizen is registered.

True, in Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the place of residence is where the citizen permanently or primarily resides.

If the project becomes law, subsidy recipients will have to inform the territorial departments of social protection or the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation about a change in their region of residence.

Information on the purpose of payments will be collected in the Unified State Social Security Information System.

For the third child, benefits are provided in the same amount as for the second. Similar payments are given for subsequent children.

Governor's payments

In some regions, there is a system of gubernatorial payments, when at the birth of a child not only a federal benefit is paid, but also additional compensation from local authorities.

The amount of the reward depends on the type of child in the family. Region also plays an important role. For example, in Chelyabinsk they pay 2 thousand rubles for the first-born, and with each subsequent child the amount increases by a thousand, but not more than 6 thousand rubles. And in Novosibirsk, parents receive 6 thousand rubles for their first child, 12 thousand for their second child, and 18 thousand rubles for subsequent children.

Postpartum payments and benefits: what you can get and how to apply for them

Postpartum payments are funds that many families need for the development of their baby: purchasing things, medicines, baby food.

Benefits are divided into several parts and depend on the mother’s length of service and salary, the number of children in the family, and financial situation. There are payments that are intended for everyone, regardless of their working status and the number of children in the family.

Others are issued only to those who received a certain amount of wages or gave birth to several children.

What are the payments - general information

When and what kind of maternity benefits are paid? The size depends on the time since birth, region, level of financial support. Benefits for all of Russia:

A certificate is provided stating that the funds have not yet been received previously. Read more about the packages of documents and methods of receiving payments below.

The state provides for an infant up to 1.5 years old, if there are no aggravating circumstances in the family. For families with many children, without a breadwinner, and with disabled children, payments can be extended up to 3 years or even up to 18 years (23 when studying).

In the capital, registered residents are provided with larger benefits. This is due to the large volume of living expenses.

Maternity benefit

Money is issued once. Only mothers who are officially employed have the right to receive increased benefits. In the absence of an official place of work, payments are minimal. The husband cannot receive payment for his wife.

Maternity benefits allow you to compensate for the costs of purchasing an initial set of children's clothing, baby formula, furniture and medical support for childbirth.

Maternity benefits are intended for parents to purchase everything necessary for a newborn

When and where to contact

A woman who was officially employed at the time of pregnancy and went on maternity leave should contact her place of work (to the accounting department or directly to the boss, if there is no financial department). You only need to have a certificate of incapacity with you.

Important! You must apply no later than 6 months after the birth of your child. Otherwise, payments may be denied.

If the young mother did not work or was an individual entrepreneur, then she should contact the local department of social security and insurance payments. Individual entrepreneurs must provide a certificate of average income so that the social security department can calculate the required amount.

To receive payments, you must have a completed certificate of incapacity for work.

How to calculate

Maternity benefit - how much do they pay working and unemployed mothers? The amount of payments for the unemployed and employed is different:

• for employees – 100% of wages;
• for the unemployed - the minimum amount of payments, that is, 3,065 rubles at the birth of the first newborn and 6,131 at the birth of the second.

The amount of compensation for individual entrepreneurs is calculated separately.

If the payment is made through the employer, information about average earnings is not needed. If a person applies to the insurance payments department, then it is necessary to provide a certificate of average income for the last time, as well as a work book for unemployed people.

One-time allowance for children

The second lump sum payment to support mothers and children is a one-time allowance for a child. Payments after childbirth in this case are the same for both employed and unemployed. The benefit amount for 2017 is 16,350 rubles.

The one-time benefit is the same for both previously employed and unemployed women

Who is eligible

Postnatal care is provided to all mothers (or fathers), including individual entrepreneurs, the unemployed, students, beneficiaries, etc. To receive funds, you only need to collect an official package of documents.

Parents can choose for themselves who the benefit will be issued to - the father or the mother. Legally this doesn't matter.

Where to go and how to apply

A one-time allowance for children is issued either by the employer or by the social protection authorities at the place of residence. In the first case, the employed are accepted, and in the second, the unemployed. The decision on the issue of payments is made within 10 days from the date of application, and the application must be submitted no later than the day when the child turns six months old.

You need to collect a package of documents:

• a certificate of birth of the baby and registration in form 24 of the Civil Registry Office, which is issued in exchange for a document issued at the maternity hospital;
• application for assignment of security;
• a document from the place of work of both parents that the funds have not yet been paid (for workers) or from local social security authorities if the parents are not employed.

If parents do not work, they must provide a work record book with a record of their previous place of work. For those who have not yet started working, it is enough to show diplomas or certificates of education or other evidence of absence of work activity.

For persons who did not give birth to a baby, but adopted them, the package of documents changes. Instead of a birth certificate, an extract from the court decision is required, which established that a married couple (or one person) becomes the guardian (adoptive parent) of the baby.

After submitting the application, funds will be paid within 10 days.

What payments are due to young mothers?

Maternal capital

From recently until December 31, 2018, the maternity capital program has been in effect. Families with 2 or more children are entitled to receive an amount of more than 400 thousand rubles. To do this, you need to have a second or subsequent (3,4) child and contact the social protection department.

The exact amount of capital depends on many factors. You can spend money for educational purposes or to improve the family’s living situation. At the same time, you can pay for the education of both the second or third baby (the one after whose birth the payment was given), and for the education of the eldest.

Payments for the birth of a third child

At the birth of the third small member of the family, she receives the status of having many children. Does this mean that she gains the opportunity to enjoy additional benefits?

Yes, benefits are provided for travel and food for children, education. But postpartum payments don't change much. Additionally assigned:

• compensation payments for the birth of a child in a young family (up to 30 years old) in Moscow - 150 thousand rubles;
• providing for a child not up to 1.5, but up to 3 years;
• monthly allowance 2500 up to 3 years, 1500 thereafter;

Payments for the third child are somewhat different from others in size

One-time benefit for the birth of a third child

The size of the lump sum benefit, which is paid upon the birth of 3 babies, does not change. It remains at 16 thousand rubles. For registration, the same documents are required as when applying for payments for the first and second time.

Maternity capital at the birth of 3 children

When the 3rd baby is born, the family can receive maternity capital in the amount established by the state, but only if it did not receive a certificate earlier, when the 2nd baby was born. You can receive a certificate until December 31, 2018, and use it at any time, even after the cancellation of the Maternity Capital program.

One and a half million rubles at the birth of the third child

In 2015, a bill was considered, according to which maternity capital could be introduced for the third newborn in 2017. Its amount was 1.5 million rubles. However, the bill was rejected at the first hearing due to a large number of nuances:

• the project would have hit the budget hard, increasing the cost of providing for families by 2 times;
• families with 3 children, whose last child was born before 2017, would be in a depressed position, because they would not receive benefits;
• the decision to pay 1.5 million rubles only in 2017-2018 could lead to a birth boom, which is bad in an economic crisis;
• the money could only be spent on improving the family’s living conditions, which constrains the parents.

As a result, the laws remained the same - at the birth of 3 heirs, no additional certificates are issued.

Monthly child care benefits

The amount of monthly child care benefits directly depends on the woman’s salary

Mothers or fathers can receive monthly child care benefits for up to 1.5 years. The minimum amount for the birth of the first child is 3,000 rubles, for the second – more than 6,000.

Child care benefits up to 3 years of age are provided only to preferential categories of the population

Monthly allowance for caring for a third child

Officially, the monthly benefit for the third child under one and a half years old does not differ from the benefit for the second child. The minimum amount is 6 thousand, the maximum is 23 thousand, or 40 percent of the parent’s salary. But add. funds are given due to the large family status.

Note: Large families are given additional monthly payments. Up to 3 years of age, families receive 2,500 rubles, and when the baby turns 3 years old, payments are reduced to 1,500 every month.

How to get it - registration rules

This additional money is given to large families and families with conscripted fathers and children under 3 years of age.

• Prenatal and postnatal maternity benefits

Every adult woman knows that a pregnant woman must work for 7 months, and then 2 months are given for rest and preparation for the most difficult day in motherhood - childbirth.

And since this process is very difficult, after pregnancy is resolved there is another 2 weeks of sick leave. This bill has not changed since the times of the USSR and has been in effect successfully for many years.

Popularly, such sick leave is called “maternity leave,” while government agencies call it maternity benefits.

• How to get maternity leave? Become registered with a gynecologist at your place of residence or work. The doctor will calculate the gestational age based on tests and ultrasound, setting the 30th week. On the last day of the 30th week (if the pregnancy is multiple - at 28 weeks), the doctor issues a sick leave, which is valid until childbirth. Another sheet is issued from the date of birth and is valid for another 14 days.
• Who should I give sick leave for during pregnancy? For working people - to the personnel department for work, for students receiving a scholarship - to the dean's office of the educational institution, for military personnel - to the unit. If you are not working, go to the social service at your place of registration.
• What is the amount of maternity leave? The amount of maternity benefits is always different and directly depends on the amount of payments to the woman over the last 24 months. It should be taken into account that the amount of 100% of the average salary is always taken into account when calculating sick leave, regardless of length of service.
• If you are a full-time student and do not work anywhere, the calculation of the amount will be based on the amount of the scholarship, but not lower than the specified minimum in your region.
• Military personnel receive maternity benefits based on monetary allowance calculations, and the calculation formula is completely similar to working women.

What to do with unused vacation? Pregnant women are always advised to take days off from unused vacation. This is better than later arguing with the HR department and accounting department about compensation.

How much money do they pay to care for their first child under 1.5 years old?

As soon as the firstborn is born, one of the household members must leave their workplace and look after the baby until he reaches at least 1.5 years.

Most often, the mother plays this role, but sometimes there are exceptions. Previously, only a woman in labor could go on maternity leave; now this prerogative is available to the father, as well as to anyone living with the child.

Accordingly, the payments will be received by the one who is raising the newborn.

So, one (usually the mother) applies for maternity leave and benefits, and the second working parent (usually the father) draws up a certificate at his place of work stating that he does not request these payments from the state.

What is the amount of maternity leave up to 18 months? Payments at the birth of a baby are 40% of the average salary in the region, but not less than the federal norm - 3,227 rubles. At the same time, in 18 months you cannot receive benefits of more than 26,150 rubles.

How much money do they pay to care for their first child up to 36 months?

As soon as the baby reaches one and a half years old, he can be enrolled in a nursery, but if desired, one of the family members can continue to look after the baby independently. At the same time, the state reduces the amount of benefits to 50 rubles once a month. The amount is very symbolic, but here the parent himself decides whether to look after the baby or go to work to earn money for a living.

In the near future, it is planned to increase payments at the birth of a baby to the subsistence level (information was announced by the president during the Direct Line), but so far it is only in the realm of negotiations.

Benefit paid to disabled children of group 1 from birth

Families in which children with disabilities of the first group are growing up are actively supported by the state and charitable foundations. From July 1, 2019, the benefit amount is 10,000 rubles. The amount does not change, regardless of the amount of family income.

Social assistance to low-income families

How to get “Putin’s” benefits for your first child

If you believe the statistics, the majority of first-time mothers have not crossed the 22-25 years mark.

It is not surprising that at this age, a husband and wife live well on two salaries, and if they remain on one, they slowly descend to the level of the low-income.

And if we take into account the number of single mothers who independently raise heirs, then the number of parents of first-born children has a very impressive percentage.

Recently, social assistance, the so-called “Putin” ones, has been added to payments for the birth of the first child in 2020. In order to receive it, your minimum must not exceed 1.5 times the regional subsistence level per family. But in the very near future (they promise from January 1, 2020) the equivalent will be increased to 2. And this will give the majority of families the right to claim this payment.

What is the amount of “Putin” for children? The amount is calculated individually, depending on the income of one or two working parents, as well as the cost of living in the region.

Until how many years do “Putin’s” pay? Social assistance is paid until the child turns 18 months old (the last payment is due for the 18th month).

Social assistance assigned locally

If the family is low-income and needs additional help, it is possible to contact social services with a request for social assistance. Depending on the budget of the region, as well as the situation in the family, both one-time and monthly social assistance may be assigned for a certain period.

In order to find out what benefits and one-time payments are due in your locality and region, analyze all sources of information:

• Ask moms who have recently given birth;
• Check with the social service hotline;
• Study the information on the website of the social service in your region.

In addition, families who have a difficult financial situation can turn to charitable foundations. Such organizations do not pay benefits, but actively help with food, medicine, clothing and toys. This will greatly facilitate the life of young parents who find themselves in a difficult life situation.

Payments at the birth of the first child: reviews

Reviews about payments at the birth of a child:

• Maxim : that’s how it is, we are not taught our rights and opportunities. My future wife and I moved to Penza several years ago. When we found out that we were expecting our first child, we didn’t know what to do, because there was nowhere to wait for help, and we didn’t want to return to the village. Thanks to the HR department for advice on the laws. We received a mortgage for a one-room apartment at very favorable payments, one-time assistance of 328 thousand, one-time social payments, and when my wife went on maternity leave, a subsidy. Thanks to the kind people and the state - we made our dream come true! Our daughter was born in our apartment!
• Albina : a pregnant single student is very difficult. Thanks to the parents and kind people, my son and I coped with everything! Girls, no matter what situation you find yourself in, there is always a way out. Don’t be afraid to ask your gynecologist, colleagues, neighbors, or social services about benefits. Don’t be afraid to collect documents - it’s not much work, but the payments allow you to maintain a normal standard of living. I was able to achieve very decent payments and survive with the baby until registration in the nursery. And I went to work for a charity foundation that had been helping me all these months. Now my life is helping young girls just like myself.
