Regardless of whether a woman works or not, she has the right to receive benefits for up to 1.5 years per child.
If a woman is not employed, it is paid from the regional fund. You can obtain it by contacting the USZN or the Multifunctional Center.

The amount of the benefit for the first child in 2021 was 3277 rubles 45 kopecks, for the second and subsequent children 6554 rubles 89 kopecks. Payments are made from the moment the child is born until the age of 1.5 years. You can apply for an appointment at any time during the specified period.

The algorithm for calculating the benefit is as follows: divide the average earnings for the two previous calendar years by 730 (the number of days in a calendar period), multiply by 30.4 (the average number of days per month) and multiply by 40%.

The maximum amount of such benefits for working women is 26,152 rubles 27 kopecks. The minimum is 3277 rubles 45 kopecks for the first child and 6554 rubles 89 kopecks for the second and subsequent children.

How to calculate the payout amount

The subsidy amount will increase by almost 1 thousand rubles and reach 57,037 rubles. The reason for the increase in payments is the planned increase in the minimum wage. The amount of maternity leave is determined based on income for the previous two years. How to count:

Stage 1 . Determination of the number of days in the billing period: 731 (in 2021 - 365 and in 2021 - 366).

Stage 2 . Calculation of average income. To do this, all payments from which payments were made to the insurance company are summed up. If the billing period includes days (months) during which the expectant mother worked at another enterprise (organization), it is necessary to provide documentary evidence of income.

Stage 3 . Calculation of average daily salary. The total amount is divided by the number of days included in the billing period. This excludes the time when the citizen was absent from the workplace for the following reasons:

• release from work with retention of wages if payments to the insurance company were not made;
• maternity leave, periods of temporary disability and maternity leave.

Stage 4 . Calculation of the total amount. Compensation is calculated as follows: average daily earnings × number of calendar days of vacation = payment amount.

If the insurance period does not exceed six months, compensation is accrued in the minimum amount. Its value for a full calendar month cannot be more than the minimum wage.

The volume of insurance payments, as well as the amount of earnings when calculating subsidies, have restrictions. Next year, the maximum threshold will be determined based on the following values:

• 2019 - 865 thousand rubles;
• 2020 - 912 thousand rubles.

Therefore, the maximum income per day corresponds to the value of 2,434.25 rubles. The minimum payment for a full calendar month is 12,392 rubles, excluding regional coefficients.

Benefits for citizens with children

Families with an income below the subsistence level established in the region have the right to apply for benefits, which are assigned from birth until adulthood for each child separately. In some cases, the child's age can be up to 23 years. The benefit is paid monthly, and the amount of the benefit is set in each region separately, taking into account the regional coefficient. For mothers (fathers) raising children without a second parent, the benefit amount has been increased. To apply for benefits, you need to contact the UMSZ or a multifunctional center. The amount of the benefit is determined by each region independently.

Example

The family collectively receives 24,000 rubles.

There are three people in the family.

The cost of living is 9,470 rubles.

The family is considered low-income: 24,000/3 = 8,000 rubles.

In this case, benefits for up to three years are assigned and paid monthly.

In addition to payments, women can count on labor benefits. For example, if working conditions for a pregnant woman are too difficult or have a negative impact on health, then she has the right to write an application to the employer for a transfer to another position or a reduction in output. The employer is obliged to maintain the wages that the woman previously received. No changes are made to the work book.

Important! The employer does not have the right to fire a pregnant woman, and is also obliged to provide annual paid leave upon request, even if it does not fit into the approved vacation schedule.
