This is due to the fact that the allowance is tied to the average daily earnings from which it is calculated. Therefore, even if the mother received a lot more, she will not be charged more than this amount. In addition, unlike the minimum, maximum payments are not multiplied by the district coefficient. The same rule applies to benefits granted in connection with childbirth and pregnancy. For maternity leave, lasting 140 days, a woman can get 61 375 rubles a month. For the entire period it will be credited with 282 thousand rubles. But women who have had to survive a complicated pregnancy, the decree will be extended and the amount of accruals will increase.

A employed mother should be contacted at her place of work for a care grant and write a statement, the sample of which will be provided by the organization. At itself it is necessary to have the following:
- certificate of birth of a baby, as well as documents for previous children, if any;
- A certificate from the place of work of the second parent, confirming that he does not receive such assistance;
- a statement on the replacement of years for earlier years, if this is necessary.
If a woman has changed her place in the last two yearswork, then it needs to bring proof that the same benefit was not assigned elsewhere. And also she will need a certificate of income from the previous employer. Only women who have had a high salary before pregnancy can count on the maximum allowance for caring for the baby. But in any case, the charges will not exceed a certain fixed amount.
