Great news:A new benefit will appear in Russia, designed to make life easier for young families. As part of the implementation of the national strategy for children, Vladimir Putin proposed paying parents a benefit for their first child - from birth to one and a half years. This payment will amount to an average of 10.5 thousand rubles across the country. However, not everyone will receive it, but only those families where the average per capita income is less than one and a half subsistence minimums in effect in the second quarter of this year. Another piece of good news - the maternity capital program in Russia will remain in effect until 2022. Well, on this occasion, we decided to recall what other benefits and payments are due to young parents. These benefits can be conditionally divided into federal and city. The former are the same for all regions, the funds for them come from the Social Insurance Fund. The latter are at the discretion of local authorities and the budget. Some places issue "children's" cards, somewhere - regional maternity capital. You can find out about this from the social protection authorities of your region. Now we will talk about general payments for all working mothers.

What to live in the decree: 3 manuals
1.Maternity benefitThe largest of the one-time payments. Essentially, it is compensation for the period when a woman cannot work and earn money. 140 days (70 before and after childbirth) are paid in full based on the woman's average earnings over the past two years. Have you already counted and enjoyed it? Let us bring you back down to earth. There is a limit to everything, which is regularly indexed. So in 2017, it is 57.8 thousand rubles on average for a full calendar month. In 2017, the amount of maternity benefit for 140 days cannot be more than 266,191.8 rubles and less than 34,521.2 rubles. 2. For early registrationAnother one-time benefit from the "little by little" series. It is paid only if the woman registered with the antenatal clinic early enough - before the twelfth week of pregnancy. In 2017, the benefit amounted to 613.14 rubles. For comparison, last year, "early" mothers received slightly less than 582 rubles. 3. One-time federal After the baby is born, either parent has the right to apply for a one-time federal benefit. Its amount has increased by almost a thousand since February 1. To apply, in addition to the child's birth certificate and a certificate from the registry office, you need a certificate from the other spouse's work stating that this benefit was not assigned to him. The amount of the one-time benefit in 2017 is 16,350.33 rubles.

Instead of a salary
We came back from maternity leave but didn’t return to work.But we want money. Let's consider that child care is also a job. True, it is not paid as well as the main one. And the older the child, the less they pay. If the baby is not yet one and a half years old, the family member for whom the parental leave is issued (and this can be anyone, even a grandmother) will receive forty percent of their average salary every month. As in the case of "maternity" money, the maximum payments here are limited. Moreover, the minimum depends on the number of the child in the family. In 2017, the monthly payment cannot exceed 23,120.66 rubles, but at the same time be less than 3,065.69 rubles for the first child, 6,131.37 rubles for the second and subsequent children. After the child turns one and a half years old, federal generosity ends. They say, you can already send the baby to kindergarten, and go to work yourself. So, from one and a half to three years, the budget allocates only fifty rubles a month to the mother, and in recent years this amount has not changed.
Shoot Capital
Have you decided not to limit yourself to just one child?Commendable. For this you will be “rewarded” with maternity capital – a special subsidy. True, the payment has not been indexed for three years, in 2017 it is 453,026 rubles. And they say that the “freeze” will remain for another three years. But nevertheless, 453 thousand is still money. Not cash, of course, but a certificate. You can get it right away and use it when the child turns three. You can spend the subsidy on buying or building your own home, children’s education or forming a mother’s savings pension. You cannot cash the certificate – it is considered a crime.
And if everything is not easy?
There are as many situations as there are people.Sometimes life gets so twisted that you don't know where to run, what to do, or what benefits to apply for. We decided to choose the most common scenarios. 1. You are expecting two babies at once, or even more. In this case, maternity leave is extended to 194 days (84 before and 110 after the birth of the children. In this case, you will receive an increased maternity allowance. If one of the babies “hides” from the doctors until the last minute, and the doctors find out that the woman is having twins after she goes on maternity leave, then the maternity hospital will issue her a sick leave for another 54 days and then transfer the remaining amount. One-time benefits are paid for each baby separately. In the future, the remaining benefits are also summed up. 2. From maternity leave to maternity leave. You haven’t had time to raise your eldest, and you’re already expecting your youngest. There are two options. First: you remain on maternity leave for your first child and receive the same benefits. Second: you formally leave maternity leave and immediately apply for . Then you will receive maternity money, but there will be no more monthly payments. So consider what is more profitable for you. 3. Work with baby and keep benefits if you work from home or part-time.

In this regard, those who receive piecework wages are luckier. Royalties and percentages can be received while on maternity leave, if you enter into a separate contract or author's agreement. 5. If, while you were giving birth and fussing over the baby, your company closed, your work record should contain a corresponding entry. Then you will receive maternity benefits in the usual amount, and not the minimum. 6. Students are also entitled to benefits. But in the amount of a scholarship, subject to the registration of academic leave for pregnancy and childbirth. If a student decides to continue her studies after giving birth, her benefits will be retained in full. 7. Women - individual entrepreneurs have the right to federal payments if they voluntarily registered with the Social Insurance Fund and paid contributions before that. 8. If the expectant mother worked several jobs before maternity leave, she has the right to receive payments from all employers. The main condition is work experience. You must work in the same place for at least two years preceding the year of maternity leave.
And if you do not work?
There is nothing wrong with housekeepingshameful. Many women, instead of working, take care of the house and family. However, if they decide to give birth, they will have to accept the fact that they will receive all possible benefits only in the minimum amount. Read also:
