The appearance of a new child in the family is always a happy moment for the mother and father. However, often due to lack of money, many citizens postpone this moment, even if they strongly want a baby. Rarely, parental care comes from strong selfish motives, but for many families, the state’s offered monthly financial support becomes extremely necessary.
It has long been known that a small child in the period of his growing up requires a large amount of money for education. Diapers, diapers, food - every month all this flows into substantial amounts, especially for young, not yet fully settled families. Taking into account the fact that mothers cannot bring money into the family in the postpartum period, family income decreases even more, and the current situation with the inability of the child to go to the nursery or kindergarten due to the constant shortage of places may extend this period.
Often it is this social support at the federal and regional level that helps many families provide the child with everything they need. The types of assistance change a little each year to improve the support program, and 2018 was no exception with innovations.
FL on monthly payments to families with children
The new federal law under the number 418 and the title “On monthly payments to families with children” has only entered into force on 12/28/2017. Prior to this law, the situation with children's allowances was to some extent irrational, since the money was relied only on those families that proved their plight, and often such payments were relied on only once a quarter.
They almost always lacked money in the regional budget, so the amount was disgustingly small - about 500 rubles, which does not change anything in the realities of the modern market.
The new law provided several types of various monthly cash benefits, which are paid from the federal budget. The introduction of such measures is intended to improve the demographic situation, which is currently very sad in the country. However, like any legal document, this law has its own requirements:
- Get paid can officially employed citizens.
- The allowance is relied on by those who are registered with the employment service, however, in this case, the person will need to refuse to pay unemployment money.
Officially, the monthly benefits for the care of newborns are managed by the Social Insurance Fund, but if the mother still wants to receive this money, then she should simply contact the accounting department at her place of work, they will submit the necessary documents.
Monthly payments
For the first child
This type of payment is currently provided by the state as the main guarantee of support for Russian families with a small child in the postpartum period. Not only the mother can receive it, but also the father with other relatives or guardians, if they directly provide care and upbringing before the child reaches one and a half years.
The money is given at the place of work, however, you must first write an application for benefits and submit a full package of required documents.
At the moment, the amount issued is determined at 40% of the average income that a person received over the previous 2 years. The cash limit was set:
- the maximum amount is 24,536.55 rubles:
- the minimum is 3142, 33 rubles.
If the family has more than 1 child who is entitled to pay up to 1.5 years, then the sum is added up. In this case, it in no case should not exceed 100% of average earnings.
If the person who is supposed to pay the benefit is officially employed, the payment starts to operate only after the end of the maternity leave, at the same time he can receive this money if part-time work - they are added to the salary for the time worked.
Unemployed people are entitled to receive money immediately after the birth of a child in the world in the minimum amount. To do this, they need to contact the social security department at the place of residence.
If the child was born after January 1, 2018, the family has the right to receive a new monthly allowance. It is set at a rate considered by the state sufficient for a living wage, about 10 and a half thousand rubles.
They will be paid until the child reaches one and a half years. It is relied only on those whose income does not exceed one-and-a-half of the subsistence minimum, any income in excess of this, even for a small amount, is considered a reason for refusal.
Get new payments can not those who receive a monthly child care allowance.
On the second
Paying monthly benefits to your second child has a deeper meaning. Funds for them will go from the parent capital, which gives it an additional opportunity to use. The amount of payment and the targeted approach is maintained at the same level as for the first child.
That is why in order to issue a payment, you must first obtain a certificate for receiving maternity capital. The application will need to be updated annually, so when the child reaches the year, it will be necessary to re-assemble the package of documents in order for the cash benefit to continue to be received for another 6 months.
It is best to apply for receipt of the payment until the child is six months old, since in this case everything is charged right from the moment of birth, otherwise payments will be made without taking into account the missed deadline.
This measure is good because it can help not to lose the parent capital, frozen for a couple of years due to the difficult economic situation in the country. Inflation annually eats large sums out of it, so if it is not used ahead of time, then in the end result the money put will simply be depreciated.
The amount of monthly payments will reduce the maternity capital on the money paid. However, payment is not compulsory at all, so each parent decides, but no money will be paid forcibly without an application.
Large families for the third child
Back in 2012, the President signed a decree according to which a monthly payment was payable to 3 children and subsequent ones. It is aimed at supporting large families until the baby is 3 years old.
In general, in 2018, the program only acquired expansion, including a dozen more Russian regions, where there is a very low birth rate.
In general, the new law has its own number of pros and cons. On the one hand, extra money will help low-income families to raise their children with dignity, without denying them the right things. But at the same time, the conditions are set fairly tough - the child should be born only in 2018, that is, even those born in December 2017 are no longer eligible to receive a new allowance.
In addition, low wages are taken into account - the subsistence minimum in the country is low and often does not correlate with the real life situation, therefore the framework is becoming ever narrower, which calls for those who have not secured a normal future to have children.
