How to receive Putin payments for a child born in 2018

Amount of one-time benefit in 2018

The initial amount of a one-time benefit for the birth of a child is 8,000 rubles. However, for payment this amount is increased:

• by the indexation coefficient, which is established annually by the Government of the Russian Federation from February 1;
• by the regional coefficient. It is used for benefits to employees who work in the Far North, equivalent areas, as well as in areas with special climatic conditions.

The amount of the one-time benefit must be established on the date of birth of the child (Article 11 of the Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ). Accordingly, if a child was born in February 2021, then the benefit is in the amount that was in force in February.

What was the benefit amount in 2021?

If the child was born on February 1, 2021 or later, then the amount of the one-time benefit, taking into account indexation, is RUB 15,512.65. The same amount was applied in January 2021. However, from February 1, 2017, the child birth benefit was increased by an indexation factor of 1,054 (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 26, 2017 No. 88 “On approval of the amount of indexation of payments, benefits and compensation in 2021”). Therefore, from February 1, 2021, benefits were paid in the amount of 16,350.33 rubles. (RUB 15,512.65 x 1.054).

If an employee had two or more children, then benefits had to be paid for each of them. For example, if an employee had twins in February 2021 or later, he was required to pay RUB 32,700.66. (RUB 16,350.33 × 2). Also see “Lump sum benefit for the birth of a child in 2021“.

Indexation in 2021

In 2021, permanent rules for indexing child benefits will come into force (Federal Law No. 444-FZ dated December 19, 2016). So, in 2021 and in subsequent years, child benefits must be indexed annually from February 1 by a coefficient established by the government. A similar procedure has been temporarily introduced for 2021 and 2017.

Indexation applies to the following benefits paid by the employer:

• a one-time benefit for women who registered in the early stages of pregnancy;
• lump sum benefit for the birth of a child;
• monthly child care allowance.

From February 1, 2021, benefits will be indexed by a factor of 1.025 (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 26, 2018 No. 74 “On approval of the amount of indexation of payments, benefits and compensation in 2021”). To calculate the new benefit, the base amount is multiplied by the indexation coefficients for all years. If the lump sum benefit for the birth of a child in 2021 is increased by 2.5 percent, then the new amount is 16,759.09 rubles. (16,350.33 × 1.025) (see table).

If two or more children were born, then the benefit is based on each of them. For example, if twins were born in February 2021 or later, the total benefit amount will be RUR 33,518.18. (RUB 16,759.09 × 2).

Two new payments for children from 2021

On November 28, 2021, V. Putin, at a meeting of the Coordination Council for the implementation of the National Strategy for Action in the Interests of Children, proposed introducing completely new monthly payments to young families starting in 2021. For these purposes, the Federal Law “On Monthly Payments to Families with Children” was adopted, providing for two new “children’s” payments: for the first and second child.

Thus, upon the birth of the first child, the payment will be financed from the state budget. And for the second child, you can receive monthly payments from your own maternity capital. Payments will be possible until the child reaches one and a half (1.5) years of age.

The fundamental question was whether maternity capital would be extended after 2021? Vladimir Putin gave the answer to this question in November 2021 - maternity capital will be extended until December 31, 2021.

In 2021, the amount of maternal (family) capital will remain at the same level and amount to 453,026.0 rubles . Starting from 2018, some families will be able to receive money from maternity capital in the form of monthly payments for their second child. And maternity capital, accordingly, will decrease.

Documents for obtaining benefits

To apply for benefits at the place of work (service) in 2021, a working person sends the following set of documents to the accounting department (or human resources department):

• application for benefits;
• certificate of birth of a child from the registry office;
• a copy of a birth certificate abroad (if necessary);
• a certificate from the place of work (or social security service) of the second parent stating that the benefit was not assigned to him.

More details about the required documents are stated in paragraph 28 of the Procedure, approved. by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated December 23, 2009 No. 1012n. At the same time, employers need to take into account: benefits must be assigned and paid to employees within 10 days from the date of receipt of all documents. It is also worth paying attention to:

• if the child’s parents are divorced, a lump sum benefit for the birth of a child in 2021 is assigned and paid to the person with whom the child lives;
• If the marriage between the child’s parents is not registered and the paternity of the child is not established in court, then only the mother can receive benefits in 2021.

Who is eligible for the new payments?

To obtain the right to receive new payments for children, several conditions must be met:

Regional allowances

Some regions of the Russian Federation provide additional benefits for the birth of a child. For example, in Moscow, additional financial support is provided to young families (Moscow Government Decree of April 6, 2004 No. 199-PP). In the Moscow region in 2021, Law No. 1/2006-OZ dated January 12, 2006 is in force, according to which, for example, at the birth of the first child, an additional benefit is 20,000 rubles. However, keep in mind that in 2021, additional regional benefits are only available from the Social Security Administration. It is useless to contact the employer for it. Moreover, not everyone is entitled to it. Please check these questions with your RUSZN.

New benefit for the birth of the first child in 2018

Also, starting from 2021, a new monthly benefit has been introduced for the birth of the first child until he or she reaches 1.5 years of age. It is paid through social security benefits. However, not everyone is entitled to it. To obtain it, family income is taken into account. See “Monthly payment for the first child from 2021”. To obtain the right to payments (for the first or second child), the average per capita family income should not exceed 1.5 times the subsistence level of the working-age population of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation for the second quarter of the year preceding the year of application. The table shows the amounts of new benefits broken down by region for 2018.

Note that if a second child is born in the family, then the new benefit can be received from maternity capital funds.

Maternity benefit

This type of benefit is paid in a lump sum for the entire period of maternity leave (in practice it is often called “maternity leave”). The duration of maternity leave is established by Art. 10 of the Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ “On Compulsory Insurance...” and depends on the course of pregnancy:

1. In general (singleton pregnancy without complications) – 140 days.
2. For complicated births – 156 days.
3. In case of multiple pregnancy – 194 days.
4. When adopting children under three months of age - from the date of adoption until the expiration of 70 days (for two or more children - 110 days) from the date of birth.

“Maternity benefit” is paid in the amount of 100% of a woman’s average earnings. Income is calculated for the two years preceding the year of benefit accrual. If during these two years the woman was already on maternity leave or child care leave, then she can choose the previous period for calculation (if this will lead to an increase in the amount of the benefit).

Limits on the amount of maternity payments are set both “from above” and “from below”. More precisely, it is not the benefit itself that is limited, but the average daily earnings on the basis of which it is calculated.

The maximum amount of such earnings cannot exceed the sum of the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for the two years preceding the year in which the benefit was accrued, divided by 730 (Part 3.3 of Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ). If benefits have been accrued, then you need to take data for 2021 and 2021. Thus, the amount of benefit per day cannot exceed:

• (RUB 718,000 + RUB 755,000) / 730 days = RUB 2,017.81

The maximum base for the Social Insurance Fund is established annually by the Government of the Russian Federation (for example, by Decree No. 1255 dated November 29, 2016). This amount is in no way tied to the minimum wage, therefore the maximum amount of “maternity” benefits does not depend on the minimum wage. In general (with a “normal” pregnancy) this size will be:

• 140 days x 2021.81 rub. = 282,493.15 rub.

Also see Maximum Benefit.

But the size of the minimum wage has the most direct impact on the minimum amount of maternity payments. The minimum average daily earnings used in this case must not be lower than the average daily minimum wage on the day of maternity leave. In accordance with clause 15(3) of the Regulations, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated June 15, 2007 No. 375, the lower limit of daily earnings is calculated using the formula:

(minimum wage x 24 months) / 730 days

Thus, the minimum benefit amount in a normal situation (payment for 140 days) will be:

Minimum maternity benefits from May 1:

• for complicated childbirth - ((11,163 rub. x 24 months) / 730 days) x 156 days = 57,252 rub. ;
• for multiple births - ((11,163 rub. x 24 months) / 730 days) x 194 days = 71,199 rub. ;

In addition, there is a special case when, with the help of the minimum wage, it is not the minimum, but the maximum amount of maternity pay that is limited. This situation arises if the employee’s total length of service at the time of going on maternity leave does not exceed 6 months. (Clause 3 of Article 11 of Law No. 255-FZ). In this case, even if the average daily earnings for the billing period are higher than the minimum, the benefit must be calculated in such a way that for each month of payment it does not exceed the current minimum wage.
