All families that are soon preparing to have large families are interested in the question of what benefits and privileges are provided to them by the state. And this is not surprising, because the more children there are in a family, the higher the costs of upbringing, education, food and accommodation in general become. And in order to normalize the demographic situation in the country, the government is developing special programs for large families in order to somehow make their life easier.
What is a large family?
Presidential Decree No. 431 of 05/05/1992 says that, depending on national and cultural aspects, authorities in different regions themselves name the types of families that are considered large families. The decree regulates the main points regarding the provision of assistance to families with a large number of children.
In 2021, privileges can be received by parents of many children, or by a person raising three minor children on their own. Some regions increase the age of benefits - up to 23 years.
IMPORTANT! Sometimes circumstances arise when a family cannot adopt or adopt a child; they only have the power to formalize guardianship. Even if the parents are mentors of three minor children, the family cannot claim privileges, since they will not be included in the category of having many children.
A large family is a unit of society that contains all jointly born (or adopted) children or children left over from former unions. If the mother and father were deprived of parental rights, or they deviate from raising children or sent them to an orphanage, they also cannot be considered as having many children and use privileges.
What do you give at the birth of 4 children?
Parents who have a 4th child already have the status of a large family. The latter is assigned at the birth of the third child and is associated with the provision of additional benefits. The birth of a fourth child does not provide any additional status.
In general, all payments of this type can be divided into federal and regional. The difference lies in the source of funding for these programs. Thus, most of the benefits that are paid at the birth of children, including the fourth baby, are federal.
These include:
- A one-time payment upon the birth of a child. In 2021, its size is 18,143 rubles.
- Payment for early registration with a gynecologist at the antenatal clinic. The amount of money is 675 rubles 15 kopecks.
- Cash payment for pregnancy and childbirth. The amount of this benefit may vary as it depends on your pre-pregnancy employment and income level.
- Care allowance for up to one and a half years. Its size can also vary and directly depends on the woman’s salary.
Reference! Federal payments are subject to periodic annual indexation.
In addition, in a number of regions of the country there may be other programs for financial incentives for women who have given birth to a fourth child. For example, in Moscow there is a program of financial assistance to young families.
So, if at the time of birth the mother was under 30 years old, then for the third and subsequent babies she is entitled to a cash payment ten times the minimum subsistence level established by the city authorities of the capital.
Amount due
The amount of maternity capital is subject to annual indexation. In 2021 it was 3.7%. If part of the money has already been spent, then the remaining funds are indexed. Currently the MSC is:
- For the 1st child – 483,882 rubles.
- For the 2nd and subsequent children - 693,432 rubles.
If the mother applied for maternity capital for the first baby born after the beginning of 2021, then for the birth of the second child an additional payment in the amount of 155,550 rubles is due.
If there is a mortgage loan, a family can receive an amount of up to 450,000 rubles from the state. for its repayment. The exact amount of the subsidy is determined by the outstanding balance. To receive money, you just need to write an application to the bank that issued the loan. This measure was introduced in 2021 and applies to families where a third or subsequent child was born. For now, the program is limited to the end of 2026.
Benefits and benefits if there are 4 children in a family
Benefits and preferences for families with four children are usually established by regional authorities independently. Among the federal benefits, especially noteworthy are those that were announced by V.V. Putin in his address to the Federal Assembly.
Thus, it has been established that upon the birth of a third and subsequent child, families can count on state assistance in paying off a mortgage loan. The amount of state support in this case will be 450 thousand rubles.
In addition, families that do not have a sufficient level of income equivalent to the subsistence minimum for one person in the family can count on receiving a monthly benefit amounting to an amount equal to the subsistence minimum in the region.
However, it should be noted that these payments are made at the expense of maternity capital, so if the family has previously used this form of state support, then the benefit in question will not be provided.
The main volume of benefits for families with many children is established by local regional authorities. Among them, the following should be highlighted, which residents of most regions are entitled to:
- compensation for housing and communal services;
- preferential medical coverage;
- benefits for admission to preschool institutions;
- compensation for travel on municipal public transport;
- exemption of families from part of the tax burden (only within the competence of regional authorities);
- provision of discounted vouchers to health camps and sanatoriums;
- free meals in preschool and secondary education institutions.
To clarify the full list of benefits provided to a large family, you must contact your local social security authority for advice.
In addition, in a number of regions of the country there are so-called “regional capitals”, which are programs created by analogy with maternity capital, but financed from local budgets and having a smaller size. The conditions for receiving government support for such programs vary.
For example, in the Ulyanovsk region there is a “Family” program, within the framework of which, upon the birth of a second child, families are issued a certificate for 50 thousand rubles. When the third and subsequent children appear, this amount increases to 100 thousand rubles.
Payments to large families: who is entitled to what?
A family with 3 or more children is recognized as having many children. Foster children and adopted children are also part of the family. In some regions the age is limited to 14 years. Usually the number of children under age is taken into account.
How to obtain the status of a large family
- At the birth of a third child, regional authorities pay the family monthly assistance. In 2021 it is equal to 11 thousand 850 rubles.
- At the birth of 3 children, regional maternity capital is paid in the amount of 100 thousand rubles.
- Payments are provided for adoptive parents and foster parents.

Types of payments for the fourth child in 2021
All payments for the 4th child, which will be made in 2021, are divided into two categories: one-time and regular (monthly).
One-time subsidies
Families in which a fourth child was born can count on the following types of financial assistance:
- allowance for visiting an antenatal clinic in the early stages of pregnancy - 655.48 rubles;
- child birth benefit - 17,479.72 rubles;
- maternity benefit - the amount is determined by average earnings;
- allowance for the adoption of a child over 7 years old or a disabled person - 133,559.35 rubles.
Monthly benefits
This group includes the following payments:
- for child care up to 1.5 years, up to 3 years, from 3 to 7 years;
- benefits for children under 18 years of age.
An application for payment of child care benefits is sent to the employer if the child’s parents are officially employed. In other cases, you must contact the territorial department of social protection of the population or the MFC, where all collected documentation is provided.
This can be done by visiting the authority in person, as well as sending the necessary documents by mail or through the State Services portal.
Benefit for a child up to one and a half years old
In 2021, the minimum compensation amount will be 6,284.65 rubles. If the mother worked before maternity leave, then the amount of the benefit corresponds to 40% of her average monthly salary for the two years preceding the filing of the application.
Child benefit under 3 years of age
It is regional in nature. The size is determined by the cost of living established in the region of residence. To assign compensation, you must contact your local social protection department with an application and a package of documents.
Child benefit from 3 to 7 years old
A decree introducing a new type of payment was signed by the President of the Russian Federation in 2020. The amount of assistance is 50% of the subsistence level for children in force in the territory of a particular subject of the Federation.
If the family is recognized as low-income, that is, the income of both parents does not exceed the minimum monthly wage, then the payment amount is doubled.
Benefit for a child under 18 years of age
Monthly assistance is provided only to those who need it. In particular, we are talking about low-income families.
The calculation is made as follows:
- the incomes of the father and mother are summed up;
- the amount received is compared with the cost of living in the region.
Putin's benefits for the poor
Low-income is usually defined as a family whose income over the last three months is less than the subsistence minimum.
Low-income people are entitled to the following benefits:
- One-time payment. Timed to coincide with certain life situations (for example, the birth of a child).
- Regular payments. Accrued once a month.
Regional benefits
Regional payments for 4 children in 2021 are made in 69 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In some regions of the country, citizens cannot take advantage of this privilege. This is due to the fact that the budgetary capabilities of local authorities are very limited.
A general overview of the funds available to large families
To obtain the status of a low-income family, it is enough to sum up the salaries of the father and mother and divide by the number of family members. If the income for each person is less than the regional monthly minimum, a large family can receive not only a monthly allowance, but also financial assistance for the birth of their next child. Its size is determined by local authorities and in some regions reaches a very decent amount; according to rough estimates, the average payment in Russia for a fourth child is more than 100 thousand rubles.
Other ancillary payments
The government paid special attention to helping large families even before the onset of distress during the spread of the global pandemic. The statuses of a large family and a low-income family in many cases coincide - raising children is not cheap, expenses for a small child in many cases coincide with expenses for an adult.
The time for consideration of the application is approximately one month. It happens that when families with four children first submit an application for assistance, they refuse to accept it due to a lack of documents. In this case, you can repeat the application on another day or contact higher authorities.
It is also possible to increase the funded part of the pension of a mother with many children using capital funds. To do this, the following documents must be available: passport, SNILS and an application for disposal of money from the payment or part thereof.
Right of use
- Free delivery of linen for newborns.
- Children under six years of age are given free medicines and vitamins with a doctor’s prescription, benefits for medical care and first priority with doctors in public clinics.
- A child from a large family is admitted to kindergarten first of all. It is also possible to return 20 - 70% of the cash payment for the garden.
- Receiving a monthly allowance until the child reaches 1.5 years of age to care for him, received only by his mother. The size of the payment depends on the woman’s average income over the last two years.
- Advantages when enrolling in school.
- Schoolchildren can travel on city and suburban railway transport for free (with the exception of minibuses and taxis). One parent is also entitled to free or discounted travel.
- The right not to pay for sets of textbooks, if such are available at the school.
- The child eats free of charge in the school cafeteria. This benefit applies to students of technical schools and higher educational institutions.
- School students are provided with free clothes for every day and a suit for sports throughout all years of study.

Read more about what specific assistance and in what volumes families with children in our region can count on in the joint special project of the Bashinform news agency and the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic.
In Bashkiria, absolutely all families into which a child was born can count on support from the state, regardless of their material well-being and the number of children. At the same time, some categories of citizens - large families, low-income people, single mothers and parents of disabled children - have additional financial privileges.
How to get it: paid to one of the parents at the place of work. If you do not work, take the documents to the branch of the Republican Center for Social Support of the Population at your place of residence, the nearest MFC office, or apply for benefits through the State Services portal. IMPORTANT POINT. You need to bring only those documents that the social service cannot request from government agencies on its own. The link opposite these documents in the far right row says “no”. This applies to all other links too.
The main directions of the state’s social policy for a long time have been supporting vulnerable segments of the population and stimulating the birth rate in order to improve the demographic situation in the country. And providing assistance to large families solves both of these problems at once. In most regions, parents with many children are considered to be those raising at least three children who have not yet reached adulthood. It goes without saying that when a fourth child appears in a family, the law also provides for incentive payments and benefits, in addition to generally accepted child benefits. We suggest you figure out what benefits (payments) families are entitled to at the birth of their fourth child in 2021.
Maternity benefits
The list of maternity payments for the birth of a fourth child includes:
- Lump-sum maternity benefit (B&C). Available for women only.
- Monthly child care allowance. It takes the form of a monthly payment. Both the mother and the father can apply for benefits.
Based on Art. 255 TC, the holiday for the BiR is 140 days. In case of multiple pregnancy or complicated childbirth, the period increases.
Care leave, according to Art. 256 TK, provided for children up to 3 years old. Until this moment, the employee has the right to be absent from the place of work under the conditions of maintaining his position. If the employee wishes, the period may end earlier.
Reference! Care allowance is provided only until the child is 1.5 years old.
The deadline for applying for payments, according to Art. 17.2 of Law No. 81-FZ and Art. 12 of Law No. 255-FZ, - no later than 6 months from the end of maternity leave or from the day the child turns 1.5 years old.
Payments to employed people
The amount of maternity benefits for working persons directly depends on wages. The calculation is made taking into account Art. 11 and art. 11.2 of Law No. 255-FZ.
The compensation amounts will be as follows:
- 100% of average earnings - the amount of the B&R benefit;
- 40% of an employee’s average salary – monthly child care allowance for up to 1.5 years.
Funds for payments are transferred from the Social Insurance Fund, however, a request for their accrual should be submitted to the employer. The personnel service or accounting department will need to present a certificate of incapacity for work issued at the antenatal clinic.
After receiving the application, the funds are transferred to the employee’s card within 10 days. Or on the next day of payment of wages to other employees.
Benefits for non-workers
Unemployed women do not have the right to benefits under the BiR. The exception is cases where the expectant mother was fired on the basis of the complete liquidation of the enterprise or individual entrepreneur. In this case, she receives 300 rubles.
Based on Art. 6 of Law No. 81-FZ there is a rule - the reduction must be carried out no later than a year before the onset of pregnancy. During the same period, the woman is obliged to register her unemployed status and register with the employment service.
An unemployed woman has the right to payment when registering before the 12th week of pregnancy, only if she is entitled to benefits under the BiR. According to Art. 9 of Law No. 81-FZ, these amounts are interrelated.
A care allowance for up to 1.5 years for a non-working woman is assigned regardless of employment.
As Art. 13 of Law No. 81-FZ, for payment to be calculated, dismissal must take place during the period:
- pregnancy;
- holidays according to the BiR;
- maternity leave.
In these cases, the amount of benefits is calculated on the basis of Art. 15 of Law No. 81-FZ. The amount will be commensurate with 40% of the woman’s average earnings for the last year preceding the date of dismissal.
If the mother of the fourth child is a housewife who is not registered with the employment center and was not fired due to the liquidation of the organization, then the amount of care pay will be minimal. The monthly benefit will be 6,752 rubles.
Maternity payments for the birth of 4 children for non-working women are issued through social protection authorities. You will need to have a certificate of incapacity with you. If the mother was fired due to the liquidation of the enterprise, then an extract from the work book and a certificate from the employment center declaring the woman unemployed should be prepared.
For individual entrepreneurs and military personnel
An individual entrepreneur can receive maternity benefits in full if he has timely transferred insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund. You should also submit an application for payment here.
Also, labor and care allowances for up to 1.5 years are provided to military personnel and full-time students of universities, technical schools, and vocational schools. In the first case, the mother will need to contact the commander at her place of duty. Students must submit a request to the dean's office of the educational institution.
What can you spend it on?
The payment is targeted. Spending funds under the state program is allowed only for certain purposes:
- improving living conditions (building a house, buying an apartment, a house, reconstructing a living space with an increase in area);
- payment of the first or next installment on a mortgage (housing) loan;
- payment for educational services for children;
- monthly allowance for a child under 3 years of age (for low-income families);
- to increase the funded part of the mother’s pension;
- payment for goods and services that help a child with a disability adapt to society.

Ask a Question
In most cases, you can use state support 3 years after the birth of a child (for more details, see the article “What can you use maternity capital for”). But if money is needed to pay the down payment on a mortgage loan, then the funds can be used immediately. The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation will also approve an application for disposal of certificate funds if maternal capital is used to pay for educational services for children or goods and services for a child with a disability.
Benefits for the birth of 4 children

The birth rate in our country is lower than the death rate. This means that there is a gradual natural population decline - several hundred thousand people a year. Although this is not so noticeable in general numbers, since the influx of migrants is taken into account. And this despite the active government policy in increasing the birth rate.
Today there are many state, regional and regional programs to support not only large families, but also parents with 1-2 children. They affect almost all areas of human life - work, finance, education, recreation, etc. It is quite difficult to list them all, and they also vary from region to region. But the main list is worth going through.
