• perpetual preferential mortgage rate 6%;
• benefits for paying property and land taxes;

Later in the article we will look at them in more detail.

What do families need?

In addition to subsidies, there are also regional benefits at the federal level. They depend on the recipient’s place of residence and are appointed by municipal authorities. The amount of income and the procedure for appointment are also regulated by relevant legislation.

At the birth of the fourth baby or his adoption, the mother can count on a significant increase in the family budget, which is regular and one-time in nature. In addition, many benefits are established for this category of citizens. They can be federal and regional.

Maternity benefit for the third child

Maternity benefits are paid exclusively to the mother of the baby . It was specially designed to compensate women for lost earnings, because in the late stages of pregnancy it is already difficult, and sometimes impossible, to work.

In addition, after giving birth, the mother needs time to recover and care for the newborn.

Payments are due to women:

• officially employed;
• full-time students (both on a budgetary and commercial basis);
• serving in law enforcement agencies or in military service under a contract.

As for unemployed women, this benefit is given only to those who were fired due to the liquidation of the organization. But only on the condition that they managed to register as unemployed at the employment center within 1 year after their dismissal.

Maternity benefits are paid to these categories and when adopting a child under three months old. Maternity benefits are paid immediately for the prenatal and postnatal periods in full .

The amount of benefit for each woman is calculated individually.

For workers, the benefit is assigned in the amount of 100% of the average daily earnings for the 2 years preceding the sick leave.

The duration of leave depends on the duration of sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth. In a normal situation, the doctor will issue it for 140 days . If the birth takes place with complications or ahead of schedule, then by 156 days . And if a woman gives birth to twins (triplets, etc.), then paid sick leave will last 194 days .

To calculate the average daily earnings, you need to add up the entire official salary of the maternity leaver for the 2 years preceding the year of maternity leave. Divide the resulting amount by the number of days in past years - usually by 730 or 731 if there was a leap year. However, sick days and previous maternity leave days are not taken into account.

If the current maternity benefit is insignificant due to earlier maternity leave, the earlier years can be used to calculate the new benefit. But only on the condition that the amount of benefits increases from this.

When a woman works part-time for two or more employers for two years, she can receive maternity benefits for all places of work.

If a woman’s work experience is less than 6 months or her average earnings for the billing period are less than the minimum wage (minimum wage) established on the date of maternity leave, benefits are calculated based on the minimum wage.

From January 1, 2021, the minimum wage is 12,130 rubles. Accordingly, the minimum amount of maternity benefits in 2021:

• for workers - 55,830.60 rubles. ;
• for persons who voluntarily insure themselves with the Social Insurance Fund (individual entrepreneurs, lawyers, notaries, etc.) - RUB 54,780.60.

The amount of the minimum benefit may further decrease. For example, if a woman does not fully use maternity leave or has adopted a newborn.

In addition, the law establishes the maximum amount of maternity benefits. In 2021 it is:

• for standard maternity leave - 322,191.80 rubles ;
• for complicated childbirth - 359,013.72 rubles ;
• for multiple pregnancy - 446,465.78 rubles .

Maternity benefits for students, employees and the unemployed are calculated differently.

Students will receive the full amount of the scholarship, and employees will receive the full amount of money in proportion to the length of maternity leave.

The unemployed are paid benefits in a specific amount, which is indexed annually on February 1. In 2021, it amounted to 675.15 rubles per month.

To assign benefits, a woman applies for a sick leave certificate to a doctor. It will indicate the date of maternity leave and its planned duration. This sick leave must be taken to the accounting department for work/study/service, and for the unemployed - to social security, where they fill out the appropriate application.

Benefits for women registered in the early stages of pregnancy

To ensure that pregnant women begin seeing doctors on time, the state has approved a special one-time payment - a benefit for women who register with a medical organization in the early stages of pregnancy.

The following are entitled to it:

• women working under an employment contract;
• unemployed women laid off due to liquidation;
• those who have ceased to operate as individual entrepreneurs;
• full-time students;
• employees in law enforcement agencies or in the army under contract.

To receive benefits, you must register for pregnancy before 12 obstetric weeks .

The lump sum benefit is assigned and paid at the place of assignment and payment of maternity benefits. Accordingly, you must apply for benefits at your place of work, study, service or social protection authorities.

The basis for the appointment is a certificate from the antenatal clinic or other medical organization that registered the woman for pregnancy in the early stages.

This benefit is assigned and paid simultaneously with maternity benefits. That is, this certificate is issued together with sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth.

If the certificate is submitted later, the benefit will be assigned and paid no later than 10 days from the date of registration of this certificate.

Unemployed women are granted benefits no later than 10 days from the date of registration of the application with all the necessary documents. Social security authorities pay benefits by mail or to the woman’s personal account (personal card) no later than the 26th day of the month following the month of registration of the application with all the necessary documents.

The amount of the benefit for registration in the early stages of pregnancy in 2021 is 675.15 rubles.

The benefit is indexed annually along with other social payments.

Registration procedure

To provide payments to mom and dad, you need to contact the social security authority at your place of residence. In this case, it is necessary to collect a package of documents, including the following acts:

1. Spouses' passports.
2. A statement made in your own hand.
3. Certificate of birth of the baby.
4. Registration details of mother and minor.
5. Documentation confirming cohabitation with offspring.
6. Certificates of income of the child's mother and father.
7. Certificate of absence of payments for receiving subsidies at the place of employment or through social security.
8. A certificate from the Employment Center stating that the young mother is not registered as unemployed.

Important! Each case of receiving financial support from the state is unique. Identical situations practically never occur. Therefore, in order to clarify your rights, it is recommended to seek free consultation from OSZN specialists or lawyers.

Allowance for caring for a third child up to 1.5 years old

A benefit for a third child can be applied for by either the mother or another relative (father, grandmother, aunt, etc.) who is actually caring for him.

Benefits for working citizens are paid only when taking parental leave.

At the same time, the person caring for the child can continue to work only part- time or at home (i.e., remotely).

For workers, this benefit is provided monthly in the amount of 40% of the employee’s average salary for the 2 previous calendar years of work .

At the same time, there is a legal minimum that will be assigned to the employee if his salary was below the established minimum value. Also, the minimum amount of benefits will be received by:

• unemployed persons;
• IP;
• those engaged in private practice (lawyers, notaries, etc.).

From June 1, 2021, the minimum allowance for caring for a third child under 1.5 years old is 6,752 rubles. It is the same for all of the above categories of citizens.

If a person takes care of two or more children under the age of 1.5 years, then the benefits for each of them are summed up . But in the end, the benefit should not exceed 100% of average earnings (for officially employed people).

The maximum amount of benefits for caring for the 3rd child in 2021 for officially employed people who are on parental leave is RUB 27,984.66 . For other recipients, the maximum payment amount is RUB 13,504.00.

The importance of having an ID

When receiving benefits, the main document is a certificate that confirms the status of a large family. It is processed by the Social Security Administration. The collection of documents in the future is determined by what kind of benefit you want to receive. This can be clarified on the spot. The application is considered within a month. Taking into account all the grounds for issuing the benefit, the verdict of state representatives on consent or refusal is announced.

The state supports a large family with a fourth child with various monetary payments:

Provides maternity capital for 4 children, pays child care benefits every month until the child reaches three years of age, and provides special benefits for the stable well-being of a family with four children. In addition, regional manuals are available.

One-time payment upon birth of a child

The baby who is the third born in the family has the right to receive a one-time birth benefit. This benefit is paid in Russia for each child , excluding :

• family income;
• birth order of children;
• social status of the family.

When two or more children are born in a family, a woman becomes entitled to this payment. Payment is also due if the baby was born alive but died immediately after birth.

From February 1, 2021, the lump sum benefit for the birth of a child is RUB 18,004.12. This amount is the same for all categories of citizens, regardless of the fact of employment.

Like other benefits, the lump sum payment is indexed annually in accordance with the actual level of inflation.

One of the child’s parents (guardian/adoptive parent/adoptive parent) can apply for benefits at their place of work (service - for military personnel) or to the social security authority (if both parents do not work and do not pay contributions to the Social Insurance Fund).

Benefits for large families

The state has long taken a course towards supporting young and large families. All this is explained by concern for the future of the country against the backdrop of a declining population. The state provides benefits to large families.

Which family is considered to have many children?

Any family with 3 or more minor children at the same time is considered to have many children. Grown-up children after the age of 18 do not allow their parents to recognize them as having many children.

It doesn’t matter whether they are natural or adopted children. The main thing is their age. It is impossible in 2021 (as before) for a family in which children are under care under a guardianship agreement to obtain the status of a large family. The family already receives benefits for them.

The legislative framework

The main legislative norm on the topic “benefits for 4 children in 2021” is Federal Law No. 81 of 1995. Here we are talking not only about families with children, but a large section is devoted to this topic. It would also be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development about the procedure and conditions for assigning payments.

Federal maternity capital for the third child

In general, maternity capital under the federal program is not provided for the third child. It is issued only for the first and second child.

However, if the applicant applying for maternity capital has not applied for it before for some reason, he can receive capital for a third child.

Let us remind you: maternity capital for a child can be obtained only if the applicant and the child are citizens of the Russian Federation.

You can receive federal maternity capital at the birth of your third child if:

1. 1. The two older children were born before 2007 (before the adoption of the Law on Maternal Capital).
2. 2. The family could not take part in the program.

In this case, the amount of maternity capital will be 466,617 rubles , and 616,617 rubles after 01/01/2020.

If the second child appeared after 01/01/2007, and the third child after 01/01/2020, but the applicant did not apply for maternity capital, he is entitled to it for the second child in the amount of 466,617 rubles . There will be no additional payment of 150,000 rubles for a third child .

Regional benefits and benefits for the third child

There are also regional benefits:

• regional maternity capital (issued in addition to federal);
• free plot of land (in some regions, instead of land, large families are entitled to monetary compensation );
• monthly benefit up to 3 years of age (recommended by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated May 7, 2012 No. 606);
• tax benefits;
• priority admission of children to kindergarten;
• free meals for schoolchildren and students of colleges, technical schools, schools;
• free clubs and sections;
• free school and sports uniforms for the entire period of study at school;
• free medicines for children under 6 years old according to doctor's prescriptions;
• free travel on public transport;
• the opportunity to receive a voucher for health improvement;
• free entry to museums, exhibitions, parks 1 day per month;
• discount on utility bills - no less 30%;
• preferential loans, subsidies, interest-free loans for housing construction and the purchase of building materials;
• priority allocation of garden plots;
• employment of parents with many children, taking into account their needs and capabilities.

If parents with many children want to organize a farm, they can count on:

• allocation of land for these purposes;
• land tax benefits;
• financial assistance or interest-free loans to reimburse the costs of running such a household.

If parents with many children want to implement another small business option, they are entitled to:

• rent benefits;
• full and partial exemption from paying registration fees for entrepreneurs.

1.5 million for the third child

Many families in which a third child was born are interested: will the state pay 1,500,000 rubles for him? Answer: no , it won't. Russian legislation does not provide for .

This question arises due to the fact that earlier draft law No. 571638-6 “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Additional Measures of State Support for Families with Children” was submitted to the State Duma. He proposed to issue maternity capital only for the third child, but in the amount of 1.5 million rubles.

However, this bill was rejected back in 2015, and the maternity capital program was first extended for second children, and then expanded not to third children, but to first children born in 2021.

Additional Help

For all parents with many children, it will be good news to hear that in many Russian regions there is also a regional maternal capital program, which consists of receiving financial assistance at the birth of a child. It is smaller in size than the amount of funds allocated by the state, as it is additional assistance. Thus, large families have the opportunity to receive two types of this cash benefit. On average, the additional amount fluctuates around one hundred thousand rubles. Obtaining regional maternity capital is possible under the same conditions: Russian citizenship, living in one region for five years, not previously using capital for previous children.

A certificate for receiving maternity capital is issued by personally contacting the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or the MFC. The service will be provided after two months from the date of application. It is also possible to submit an electronic application on the State Services website. Within five days after the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation receives an application for financial assistance at the birth of a child, you must bring or send by mail all documentation to the authority specified in the application. This service is provided free of charge. You can pick up the certificate in person at the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or receive it by mail. The required documents to obtain are: passport, birth certificates of all children and a document on Russian citizenship.

Allowance for a third child under 3 years of age

In accordance with Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated May 7, 2012 No. 606 “On measures to implement the demographic policy of the Russian Federation,” an allowance is provided for the third child until he reaches 3 years of age.

This payment is not federal, but is only recommended for establishment in the regions. However, in constituent entities of the Russian Federation with a low birth rate (where on average there are less than two children per woman of reproductive age), this payment is co-financed from the federal budget.

The size of the benefit and the frequency of its payment are established by regional legislation. For 2021, 75 regions can participate in this program .

Regional lump sum benefit for the birth of a third child

In a number of regions, upon the birth of a third child, the family is entitled to a lump sum payment. The decision to assign such benefits to families is made based on financial capabilities and priority areas for the development of the region. Payment amounts vary in different regions of the Russian Federation.

The conditions for receiving this benefit are:

• financial well-being of the family;
• family composition;
• the age of the woman who gave birth (for example, up to 30 years).
• This benefit is aimed at stimulating the birth rate in certain regions, reducing the number of abortions and maximizing the reproductive potential of women of childbearing age.
