The list of benefits for a large family often depends on the region where the family lives. And the very same spouses with children in one region will be able to obtain the status of a “large family”, but in another they will be denied. In the Moscow region there is a law dated January 12, 2006 N 1/2006-OZ On measures of social support for families and children in the Moscow region. This regulatory act regulates the issues of assigning the status of a large family and receiving benefits in this region. I have already described how to obtain the status of a large family in the article - How to obtain a certificate for a large family in the Moscow region.

Two by two
The Mikhailovs are native Muscovites.
Julia from Lukhovitsy, Kolya from Kolomna. And at first everything was like everyone else’s. We met, got married, and decided to have a child. At the first ultrasound, the doctor said: “You are having twins.” Kolya wanted boys, Yulia hoped that they would have both a son and a daughter. So, in dreams and disputes, we waited for the second ultrasound. “The doctor examined me for an hour and a half, then he looked up and... silently showed four fingers,” recalls Yulia. “In complete shock, I go outside, call my husband, and say that we will have four children. And Kolya laughs: “So what? Where there are two, there are four!” In the evening, he rushed home, happy, with flowers... Yulia spent almost her entire pregnancy in the perinatal center in Balashikha. Worried about her health, doctors even suggested performing a reduction—removing one embryo. After all, by that time Yulia had already turned 31 years old, at that age the first birth and with only one fetus is considered risky. But the Mikhailovs decided to save all the children at all costs. Three sons and a sweet daughter were born two months prematurely, weighing from 1200 to 1500 grams. Because of this, the kids were under medical supervision for another month.
What is the size of the benefit for large families in 2021?
All of the above benefits and their amounts will remain unchanged in 2021. Many parents with many children are concerned about obtaining a plot of land for building a house or running a household plot. The area of such a plot is 6-15 acres.
To submit documents to obtain such a plot, you will need to fulfill the following conditions:

- registration in the same house and place of implementation of the program for the last 5 years;

- not have a plot of land or an apartment whose area exceeds the standard for one resident.
Families living in the Moscow region and trying to obtain a plot of land under this program are increasingly encountering the following difficulties:
- lack of land in the Moscow region within the city limits or near it;
- you cannot sell your property, since the plot remains in state ownership and is provided according to a social lease agreement;
- the right to land may be denied if it has been revealed that the family deliberately moved and registered in housing with poor conditions and a small area, and its income is in fact higher than the subsistence level;
- if the family refused the land three times in the hope of getting a better plot.
To register for receiving land, you will need the following documentation:
- application to local authorities;
- certificate of a large family;
- passports and birth certificates of children;
- a certificate indicating the composition of the family;
- documented registration
The decision to place a person on the waiting list must be announced by the authorities within 30 days. Local benefits:
- 100% discount on fees for services provided by municipal kindergartens;
- payment of half the cost of a monthly pass for full-time students;
- free travel for children under 16 years of age;
- free registration and attendance of classes in sports sections;

Who can receive benefits in the Moscow region in 2020
In the Moscow region, the definition of large families includes families with three or more children.
It doesn't matter whether they are born into the family or adopted. But not all of them can qualify for social assistance. To receive payments in 2021, a society unit must meet the following criteria:
- the parents' marriage must be registered by the state;
- there are 3 or more children in the family (natural, adopted, dependent);
- at least 3 children must be under 18 years of age (or under 23 if the adult is in full-time education);
- Children living separately from their parents (with relatives, in special institutions) is unacceptable.
How to get benefits for large families in 2021
To apply for any benefit, the main document is considered to be a certificate confirming the fact of a large family. An additional list of papers is collected taking into account the type of benefit being issued. Eg. To receive a preferential mortgage at a rate of 6%, you will need to meet the following requirements:
- birth of the 3rd or subsequent child after January 1, 2018, but before December 31, 2022,
- purchasing housing on the primary real estate market;
- initial contribution from own funds of at least 20% (including MSK).
The grace period for the birth of the 3rd and subsequent children is 5 years. Upon completion, the rate will increase, but will be calculated using a special formula.
In order to save material income for families with many children, the state has provided tax deductions for them. To apply for income tax benefits, you will need to provide the employer with an application, a certificate from the educational institution, and a 2-NDFL certificate.
Subsidies provided for large families
One type of subsidy for a large family is the provision of a housing subsidy. It is as follows :
- Funds are provided free of charge, but a number of requirements must be met.
- Targeted use of funds: money can be spent on purchasing housing both on the primary and secondary markets, however, on the “primary” market you can only buy if the house is 70% completed
- The purchased property must not be under arrest or be collateral
- You can use the subsidy within 6 months from the date of registration, otherwise you will have to resubmit the documents.
- An additional condition is citizenship of the Russian Federation and residence for parents.
