The Ministry of Labor told how to receive a new benefit for children from 8 to 17 years old

What federal payments and benefits can you get for your third child?

At the birth of a third child in the family, parents have the right to the same payments and benefits as for previous children. In particular, these include:

maternity benefits;
one-time payment for early pregnancy registration;
lump sum payment at birth;
child care allowance up to 1.5 years;
maternity capital (if the parents did not register it for their second child);
Putin's payments from 3 to 7 years inclusive - for low-income people.

In addition, at the federal level, the following benefits are also provided for families with three children:

repayment of part of the mortgage debt in the amount of 450,000 rubles from the federal budget;
perpetual preferential mortgage rate 6%;
benefits for paying property and land taxes;
increased standard tax deductions for the third and subsequent children (summed with deductions for previous children);
accounting for parental leave in the pension period;
early retirement at age 57.

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

What changes will there be?

Amendments to the bill providing for expanded use of maternity capital are being considered in the State Duma. If they are accepted, the amount allocated by the state can be spent on purchasing a car. For large families this will be a very useful acquisition.

When a baby is born, monthly payments to families will increase in 2021, and paid maternity leave will be extended. The new law was approved by the State Duma of the Russian Federation and will come into force on October 1, 2019.

In addition, every year child benefits are indexed to the level of expected inflation.

Support for a young mother

Today there are the following types of state support:

If you register your pregnancy with a medical institution in a timely manner – 630 rubles.
Maternity accruals.
A one-time payment at the birth of a baby is about 16,750 rubles.
Maternity leave to care for a baby up to one and a half years old - from 3,150 to 20,000 rubles.
The next stage (1.5-3 years) was paid 50 rubles/month, however, from January 1, 2019, benefits will be increased to the minimum subsistence level.
Assistance at the birth of all subsequent children.
The allowance for a single mother for minor children (under 18 years old) is about 280 rubles.

A separate item is maternity accruals. They depend on the size of the mother’s salary for the last two years in accordance with the minimum wage. In 2021, the mother's salary will also affect the amount of payments, since maternity accruals amount to 40% of the official salary.

Mortgage rate

This year, a state program to subsidize mortgage loans began to operate. This means that thanks to government assistance to families with many children, mortgages, and therefore the opportunity to improve their living conditions, have become more accessible. The rate will be 6%. However, there are a number of conditions for those who want to take advantage of the low interest rate. The apartment must be purchased on the primary market, and the down payment must be paid with personal funds (at least 20%).

Registration of a plot of land

The land plot of a large family in 2021 will not exceed 15 acres. To obtain ownership of a plot of land, the following is taken into account:

Availability of parents' marriage certificate issued by the relevant authorities.
Presence/absence of other land in ownership.
Joint residence of family members in one apartment (i.e. children live with parents).
Availability of citizenship and residence in the country for at least 5 years.

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.

EDV - regional support for large families

Regional authorities may introduce their own measures to support families with children, which become an addition to the federal program. A similar measure is a monthly cash payment. To understand under what conditions this financial assistance is prescribed to large families and in what volume it can be paid, you can check the regulations of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. Employees of regional social protection authorities can review applications and check the attached documents in order to make a decision on the accrual of EDV.

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.

Even the unemployed are entitled to such a payment, but they no longer receive it at their place of work, but through social security. For large families, this payment per month is 6,131 rubles 37 kopecks.

Additionally, some regions set their own allowances and payments to support large families. Here you need to be guided by regional regulations. But such payments are not indexed in accordance with the established federal coefficient. Their size can be increased at the regional level.

Federal maternity capital for the third child

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

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.

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.
