On January 1, 2016, Russia actually began a major social reform, within the framework of which, taking into account modern Russian realities and the prospect of a long-term economic crisis, the prevailing era will change before our eyes "well-fed zero" years principles and approaches to providing measures of material support families with children, currently including:
The result of this work of the Government was social reform, which earned from January 1, 2016.
Indexation of child benefits in 2016
The first priority decision of the country's leadership was suspension of the current indexing procedure basic social benefits and compensations. In fact, this marked the beginning of a big reform, since in the final form for 2016 and 2017 the State Duma approved a fundamentally new approach to an annual review of the amount of payments to families with children.
Changes to the current procedure for indexing social payments
Already on June 25, 2015, this approach was supported by the Cabinet of Ministers (officials only needed an hour and a half of discussions to approve it). Minister of Finance of Russia Anton Siluanov on this occasion he immediately noted: “We will not have the resources to disagree”.
This actually means that the state, by changing the procedure for indexing benefits, has saved money for at least the next year. current payments to families with children- until February 1, 2017 (it is possible that in anticipation of the restoration of oil prices to the level of the “well-fed zero”, in which these obligations were first established by law). However, such a change in the order of indexation based on actual inflation over the past year makes it necessary already from February 1, 2016 pre-index, established from January 1, 2015. Let us remind you:
Upon liquidation of an organization - in a fixed minimum amount
For students - at the place of study in the form of a scholarship
The amount of maternity capital in 2016
Back in the summer of 2015, news began to arrive that at the highest level (Government, State Duma, Pension Fund) it is suggested not to index size of the certificate for maternal capital, at least in 2016.
As a result, by two laws dated December 14, 2015 No. 359-FZ and No. 371-FZ, the State Duma made a final decision, according to which the amount of maternity capital in 2016 does not increase(not indexed) and remains equal to last year’s value - 453026 rubles.
In contrast to what has been changed since 2016, in relation to maternity capital, this is simply a one-time omission of the annual increase in its amount established by law. At the same time, it has already been announced that the amount of funds under the maternal certificate will be indexed next time in the usual way:
- from January 1, 2017 - by approximately 6%, which will be 480 thousand rubles;
- from January 1, 2018 - by another 5%, which will give the amount 505 thousand rubles.
However, for 2016, it was decided to index the repeated anti-crisis payment from the funds under the certificate - the lump sum paid increased by 5,000 rubles and now. However, the time frame for receiving it from the Pension Fund will be reduced this time.
Understanding the prospect of an actual depreciation of maternity capital over at least one coming year, there is an assumption that the Government, as a sign of compensation, will significantly expand in 2016 to help citizens of the country quickly (easier) spend the funds provided by the state.
In particular, one of the new directions was introduced on January 1 - now maternity capital can be used to pay for services and technical equipment for social rehabilitation of disabled children. Next in line in 2016 is also the provision of the right to payment under a certificate for the services of individual entrepreneurs (individual entrepreneurs - private kindergartens or nannies) child care and supervision.
Below is a graph of changes in the growth rate of maternity capital over the past 10 years since the start of the program (2007-2016). In just this time, maternity capital has grown from 250 to 453 thousand rubles(an increase of 81%). That is, on average, the annual indexation of the amount under the certificate for this period was only 8,1% .
Transition to the principles of targeting and need
Prospects for reducing the types and amounts of child benefits and other payments to families with children in 2016 based on principles of targeting and need raise even higher concerns in society.
Currently existing categorical system of social support takes its origins from the Soviet period, and in modern realities, with the growing budget deficit, from the point of view of the country's leadership, it becomes unjustified. In this regard, targeted approaches taking into account need will be widely introduced into the sphere of federal and regional social policy in 2016 - first of all, for reasons of economy budget funds through “reducing ineffective costs.”
Meanwhile, the Government is still conducting lively discussions on issues of development, according to which it would be possible to “target” cash payments not to some categories of social groups as a whole (at the scale of the state or an individual subject of the federation), but in respect specific family And individual citizen.
The well-known indicator most often proposed as such a criterion is amount of income per one family member - if it is less than established in the region living wage(or multiples of it), the family can be recognized as needy and appropriate financial support can be provided to it in a targeted manner.
However, as experts note, in the long term this may lead to a desire among citizens to artificially lower their official level of income (or work less), including
The amount of a one-time benefit for the birth of a child before February 1, 2016 is 14,497.8 rubles. To receive a one-time benefit, you are presented with an application form and the necessary documents, as well as a certificate form for non-receipt of a one-time benefit.
A one-time benefit is paid to women in an equal amount for each child born, regardless of their labor status and income level. If at the time of the child’s birth the mother is not officially employed and the child’s father is working, documents for payment of benefits are submitted at the father’s place of work.
One-time benefit amount
With the onset of 2016, the payment amount is 14,497.8 rubles. From February 1, 2016, child benefits, including a lump sum payment upon the birth of a child, will be indexed and the amount of benefits increased.
Where should I go to receive payment?
Parents of a newborn child should submit documents at the place of work (service) of one of the child’s parents. And if both parents are not employed - to the USZN (administration of social protection of the population) at the place of residence of one of the parents. In some regions, a new procedure for receiving benefits is being introduced and you must contact the regional office of the Social Insurance Fund (FSS) directly.
Required documents to receive benefits:
Depending on the parents' employment status, the list of documents differs.
At the place of work, service or study:
- a certificate from the registry office issued upon registration of the child;
- a certificate from the place of work (service) of the other parent about not assigning a one-time benefit - if both parents work (serve);
- if the other parent is not officially employed - a certificate from the Social Insurance Fund stating that he/she did not receive this benefit.
In the USZN at the place of residence of one of the parents - if both parents do not work (do not serve):
- application for benefits;
- child's birth certificate;
- certificate from the civil registry office;
- work books with records of dismissal of both parents;
- for those who did not work – diplomas, certificates and other documents confirming the parents’ absence from work.
For children of single mothers, it is necessary to additionally submit: a certificate from the civil registry office on the basis for including information about the child’s father in the birth certificate.
If the child’s mother is an individual entrepreneur, a certificate from the social insurance fund about non-receipt of this benefit will also be required.
Deadlines for applying for and paying one-time child benefit
Assigned when applying for benefits within 6 months from the date of birth of the child, i.e. When the child turns six months old, it will be difficult or even impossible to submit documents for this payment (you will have to prove that the corresponding application was not submitted for a good reason). Payment of the lump sum benefit is made no later than ten days after submitting the entire package of documents.
We are collecting signatures in support of the adoption of a bill to extend the payment period for monthly child care benefits from 1.5. up to 3 years.
Also, one-time benefits for the birth of a child include regional payments. Below is a list of compensation payments in Moscow:
One-time compensation payment in connection with the birth of a child.
The amount of a one-time benefit at the birth of the first child is 5,500 rubles, the second and subsequent ones - 14,500 rubles. To receive the payment, you should contact the RUSZN, providing the following documents:
- Parents' passports;
- Copies of birth certificates of all children;
- Marriage registration certificate (if available);
- If one of the parents is not a Muscovite, a certificate confirming that the child lives together with a parent who is a Muscovite.
The regional lump sum benefit is paid to the Muscovite’s social card within 10 days after submitting all the necessary documents. The circulation period is 6 months from the date of birth of the baby.
Additional one-time benefit for young families at the birth of a child (Luzhkov payments).
Citizens of the Russian Federation, both under the age of 30 on the date of birth of the child, living in Moscow, have the right to an additional one-time benefit, namely:
- Parents, both of whom have permanent registration in Moscow;
- If one of the parents is registered in Moscow together with the child;
- A single mother living in Moscow is an unmarried woman and there is no record of the child’s father on the birth certificate.
The size of the Luzhkov payment.
1st child - five times the subsistence minimum, 2nd - seven times, 3rd and subsequent - ten times. In the third quarter of 2015, the cost of living in Moscow was 15,141 rubles. For a one-time payment with an application and a standard set of documents (passport, birth certificate, referral from the registry office), you should contact the RUSZN within a year from the date of birth of the child. The period for the decision to assign payment is 10 days (30 if additional verification is necessary).
Pay attention to other child benefits that are established by Federal Law No. 81-FZ “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children.”
The birth of a child is naturally associated with both a lot of joyful troubles and very significant expenses. You will need to purchase everything necessary for the normal care of your baby. The amount turns out to be quite large, so the payments that are provided for the birth of a baby will, by the way, be provided to a family with any income level.
The list of required items includes:
- stroller (for winter and summer);
- crib;
- orthopedic mattress;
- car seat;
- warm overalls;
- dishes for feeding and caring for the baby;
- necessary medications to restore the mother’s physical condition, etc.
We will consider below whether the state benefit will be sufficient for these expenses.
Receiving benefits
It will be received, as before, after contacting:
- the employer of the child’s father or mother;
- social security authorities (if parents are unemployed).
The period for calculating benefits is at least six months, counting from the baby’s birthday (a certificate from the maternity hospital is valid for this period).
In 2016, the amount of the benefit, as before, will not be determined by the size of the official salary of the parents, and the source of payments will be the state budget.
What needs to be done to receive
According to analytical forecasts of experts, in the new year financial payments due at the birth of the first, second or third children will be paid in the amount of 15,294 rubles. for each baby (in 2015 – 14497) and the range of these funds is not subject to change until the end of the year.
Regardless of the organization paying the assistance, you will need:
- registry office certificate of the child’s birth;
- document from the maternity hospital (valid until 6 months from the date of issue);
- personal statement.
When contacting the employer, additionally, a certificate from the HR department from the place of work of the second parent (if any) of the child (that no payments were accrued in another organization).
To submit an application, the employer does not need to appear in person; the package of documents can be handed over to a representative of the administration.
When contacting social security authorities, personal presence is required.
Due to the economic crisis, payments are indexed: they increase annually by an average of 5.5%, including benefits for the second, third or more children.
Additionally, other payments are also due in 2016. These include:
- for registration during pregnancy (from 7 to 12 weeks), for which a special exchange card is issued (in 2016 - 576 rubles 83 kopecks);
- maternity payments;
- regional surcharges;
- special supplement for military spouses (RUB 8,822);
- for child care (accrual - 40% of the average income for the previous two years before the birth of the baby - from the day following the expiration of the certificate of incapacity for work). In 2016, this is an amount equal to the salary plus 500 rubles. (in 2015 – 5965), plus indexing (7.5%); if the child is 1.5 - 3 years old - only compensation payments.
Upon the death of a newborn (after reaching the age at which payments should begin), the parents retain the right to issue them with documents confirming the fact of their birth and death, as well as all funds stipulated by law, including maternity benefits.
Birth benefits for subsequent children
As a consequence of the crisis, inflation has increased, requiring constant indexation of state financial assistance to citizens. In 2016, the payments due at the birth of children will be indexed.
Maternity capital, upon presentation of all the above documents, parents are required to pay at any branch of the Pension Fund of the country (at the place of their current residence), and the period for applying for it is not limited.
This year, taking into account indexation, the amount of maternity capital was 453,026 rubles. In the future, it should be 473,412 rubles, not counting regional surcharges. With the birth of a second and, especially, a third or more children, it will increase even more.
Despite the consequences of the crisis and the problems it caused with filling the state budget, the government adopted a resolution to extend the program for another five years, until 2021.
In the current financial year, for its implementation, the budget provides for payments from the Pension Fund of about 344 billion rubles (which is equal to approximately 2.5% of the total indicators of the state expenditure budget for the year, which amounted to 15.2 trillion rubles).
In subsequent years, the indexation of amounts due to families can be carried out according to existing inflation forecasts for:
- 2016 - 5,5%;
- 2017 - 4,5%;
- 2018 - 4%.
It is expected that in the coming financial year the limits of maternity capital will be increased, and they may amount to at least 477,942.4 rubles. (in 2015 - 453,026 rubles), next year, 2017 - 499,449.8, in 2018 - 519,427.8. These figures may increase with an increase in the coefficient and when calculating payments for the second and third newborns.
To alleviate the financial situation of families who, in connection with the birth of a second, third or subsequent children, have the right to receive maternity capital, the Government of the Russian Federation decided to allow the receipt of amounts from the total amount due to the family until the child reaches the age of one and a half years. These amounts can be spent immediately on purchasing necessary baby care products.
Cash benefits for child care for 2016
Funds for special benefits for the maintenance of children and other social payments will also be indexed, starting from February 1, 2016, using a coefficient (preliminarily - 1.061 + 6.1%), changing according to the level of inflation.
Provided that the financial indicators of the economy do not change, in 2016 payments (benefits) will be paid in the maximum available amount:
| Name of the grounds for assigning financial state assistance | Accrual system and terms | Expected to be paid (RUB) |
| registering for pregnancy in a medical institution | less than 12 weeks | 576,83 |
| pregnancy and childbirth | 100% of the average range of earnings received for any 2 previous years (minimum wage, scholarships) | |
| the same for the wife of a military man | over 180 days | 24359,27 |
| birth of a child | one-time | 15382,17 |
| the same, conscripted military personnel, up to 3 years of age | 10439,69 | |
| obtaining the status of an adoptive parent, guardian and trustee, adoption into a family for upbringing for each adopted child | 15382,17 | |
| loss of a breadwinner for children of military personnel | 2099,69 | |
| baby care | 40% of average earnings for any 2 calendar periods | 2884.16 rubles - for the first, 5768.31 - for the second and subsequent newborns |
The birth of a baby can always be associated with pleasant chores, but at the same time it is also an additional expense from the family budget. After all, almost all parents want their children to not need for anything. Therefore, the state has accommodated young parents and pays various types of financial assistance, compensating for the costs of caring for and maintaining the baby.
What payments are due at the birth of a baby in 2016 and how to complete all the required documents are two pressing questions that absolutely all new parents ask themselves. Let's try to figure it all out and understand in what cases this or that benefit is paid.
One-time benefit for the birth of a child
A one-time benefit for the birth of a child in 2016 is a one-time deduction to one of the parents. If a woman gives birth to two or more children at once, then the same amount of money is allocated for each child.
From February 1 of this year, the amount of state assistance provided to families when children are born is 15,512 rubles. for one little one. It is extremely important to make the following point. In rural areas and small towns, the total benefit amount depends on wages. That is, a certain coefficient is established that is closely related to your salary. Therefore, the amount of the amount in a particular region may differ slightly.
Not only unemployed people, but, for example, part-time students wanted information about what payments were due at the birth of a child in 2016 to unemployed people. There is an opinion that only officially working parents can apply for financial assistance from the state budget, but this is not at all true. Naturally, the amount of the benefit will directly depend on the mother’s employment, but the fact that deductions are due to all segments of the population is clear.
To receive government assistance in the above amount, one of the parents must apply for it to the relevant authorities at the place of registration of residence (in the absence of official employment) or at the location of the employer.
It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the father can apply for and receive benefits, but only in the case of official employment. If he does not work anywhere, then only the mother has the right to receive the payment.
Child care benefit (2016)
As already mentioned, a one-time deduction for new mothers can be received regardless of the availability of permanent employment. In addition, when the baby reaches one and a half years old, the family will receive a fixed amount monthly.
Working citizens who become parents of a baby should contact their employer to receive legal financial assistance. If it so happens that neither the father nor the mother is employed, then you can apply for this type of social assistance by applying to the executive bodies of the local administration.
The amount of cash payments that parents will receive every month for 1.5 years to care for the baby in 2016 directly depends on the salary and is calculated using a special formula. But it's quite simple. Deductions are made in the amount of 40% of the average six-month salary. The minimum amount of monthly state benefit contributions cannot be lower than 2908.62 rubles. At the same time, the Government also provides a maximum of 5817.24 for the second and subsequent children. Both housewives and student mothers can apply for such deductions.
But what payments are due at the birth of the first child in 2016? The birth of their first child allows parents to count on the following amount of government material support:
- A one-time one-time amount when the baby arrives;
- Social benefits when the child reaches 1.5 years old;
- Cash assistance for sick leave based on pregnancy and childbirth.
In order to complete all appointments and receive everything that is due, after the birth of a child within six months, you must go with a complete package of documents to the municipal authorities dealing with social security issues. Payments will not be processed after this period.
In different regions of our country, mothers receive unequal amounts. For example, in order to understand what payments are due for the birth of a child in 2016 in the Moscow region, it is necessary to consider this issue in detail.
For residents of the Moscow region, the required benefit amounts differ. Thus, one-time state financial assistance for the birth of the first child is 10,000 rubles, the second – 20,000 rubles, the third – 30,000 rubles. When twins or twins are born, parents will be provided with an amount of 70,000 rubles. But mothers of triplets are entitled to receive a payment of 150,000.
In turn, the monthly benefit for children living in the Moscow region is 2,206 rubles.
It would seem that they are one country, but in Moscow the amounts of benefits differ from what payments are due at the birth of a child in 2016 in St. Petersburg. It is worth noting right away that in general the differences are not significant. The presence of the “Children's Card” program, available only to residents of the former Leningrad, is the only payment to young parents that is not available in Moscow.
If you are a large family, then you can contact the social protection authorities with a request to accrue social assistance to large families. In this case, before going to the authorities, it is necessary to prepare a package of all requested documentation.
But residents of the northern part of Russia are interested in knowing what payments are due at the birth of a child in Novosibirsk (2016)?
Mothers who live in Novosibirsk will also be able to receive a one-time and regular monthly payment for child care. The principles for calculating benefits are the same. The amount is identical. But there are some differences. An additional amount will be received by young parents who, at the time of replenishing their young family, have not reached the age of 30. Therefore, they receive additional funds in the amount of 6,000 rubles. for the firstborn and 12,000 rub. for the second baby.
Documents for registration
Before contacting the relevant authorities for the assignment of state assistance to families with children, it is necessary to prepare all the required documents. This way you can save a lot of time and get money much faster. All parents must provide:
- an application requesting state assistance in connection with the birth of a baby;
- copy and original of the baby’s birth certificate;
- a certificate confirming that neither of the parents is the recipient of additional payments for the baby;
- a certified copy of the work record;
- a copy and original of the marriage certificate or other documents (divorce, court decision on divorce, change of surname, alimony, etc.) in case of receiving alimony.
If you have not collected a complete package of documents, then you should not run several times to the social security authorities. It would be wiser to collect everything you need and then go to apply for financial assistance. This will, at a minimum, help save your strength and nerves. The main thing to remember is that you can apply for baby money no later than 6 months after the birth of your baby.
When applying for payments for low-income families, it is necessary that each spouse provide the government authorities with a certificate of income from their place of work. Otherwise you simply won’t get paid. It's up to you to decide what to do in this situation.
Maternity capital in 2016
So, you have found out what payments are due at the birth of your first child in 2016, now let’s talk about maternity capital. The “maternity capital” program was developed to improve the demographic situation in the country. Therefore, the state decided to help young parents provide for their children. Families who are having a second or third child are entitled to this financial assistance.
The amount of maternity capital in 2016 is 453,026. These funds can be spent no earlier than the child reaches the age of three.
The birth of a baby is a bright event in the life of every family. But there are also significant financial expenses to provide all the needs of the newborn. Help in the form of a one-time benefit comes in handy here. We will tell you how much money new parents can expect, how to apply for and receive the payment due.
What is a lump sum benefit?
Absolutely all women who are citizens of the Russian Federation, foreigners/stateless persons (if they permanently reside in Russia or temporarily with registration in social insurance as an insured person) are entitled to a one-time state benefit at the birth of a child. Funds can be received both at birth and upon adoption of a baby. Their size is not affected by:
- family income (above or below the subsistence level);
- employment of the mother (funds are paid to unemployed people, officially employed people, students, as well as persons registered as individual entrepreneurs);
- mother's work experience, etc.
A one-time allowance can be received by families who gave birth to a baby both within and outside of marriage, as well as single mothers. Federal benefits are issued in cash. Assistance is issued at a time at the rate of 1 benefit per 1 family (either to the mother or father of whom the child is registered).
Amount of assistance
The amount of a one-time benefit for the birth of a child in 2018 is fixed by law. For parents whose children were born before 02/01/2018, this amount is 16759,09 rub.
This amount will be paid to the parents regardless of how the baby came into the family - first, second or third - in each case the compensation will be the same.
Every year the size is indexed. The next increase is expected from 02/01/2019. The exact amount is not yet known.
Payments upon adoption
If the spouses adopted one child, then the compensation for them remains in the standard amount 16 759,09
rub. If a child aged 7 years or older is accepted for adoption, then the parents are entitled to a payment in the amount 128 053,08
rub. The same amount is due when adopting a disabled child. If you decide to accept several children into your family who are brothers/sisters, then you will also receive 128,053.08 rubles from the state. for each adopted child. It should be noted that this amount is paid if the adoption certificate is dated 02/01/2018 or later.
Help for a second child
The amount of one-time assistance does not change depending on the number of children in the family. Is the child born first or second, etc. the amount of compensation will be the same.
In this case, the parent will receive state assistance for the birth of each child separately. That is, payment for the firstborn does not deprive the right to receive subsequent benefits upon the birth of new children.
If several children are born at once - twins, triplets (or one is born and the other is adopted), then the amount of the benefit is determined by simple arithmetic addition.
For example, Ivanova O.I. On August 10, 2018, she gave birth to twins. She applies for payment to the employer and the latter is obliged to make a double payment equal to 33,518.18 rubles.
There is also a state program to assist large families, according to which, upon the birth of a second child (and subsequent children), parents receive a certificate for maternity capital. The amount of capital in 2018 was 453,026 rubles, it was not indexed and remained the same compared to last year.
Depends on the receiving region
Although the amount of a one-time benefit in connection with the birth of a child is firmly fixed and equal for everyone, there are still certain deviations. This depends on the region where the payment is received. We are talking about the regional coefficient (Northern coefficients, as they say differently).
Not all territories, regions, and republics of Russia have coefficients. Where it is applied, the amount of maternity benefits increases by the amount of this coefficient. The calculation is simple: the minimum amount of a one-time benefit for the birth of a child in 2018 (basic amount - 16,759.09 rubles) is taken and multiplied by a coefficient. The result is the amount of money to be issued. Otherwise, the payment rules remain the same.
For example, in the Perm Territory the regional value is 1.15. This means that in Perm the amount of state benefits will be equal to 19,272.95 (16,759.09 X 1.15) rubles.

Registration of benefits
In order to receive one-time assistance at the birth of a baby, you need to make sure that:
- You are a citizen of the Russian Federation, or a foreigner or stateless person permanently residing in Russia and insured by the Social Insurance Fund (usually employed).
- the fact of the baby's birth is confirmed by a certificate. The presence/absence of information about paternity in the document does not affect the order and amount of payments; single mothers receive assistance in the general manner.
The parents themselves determine who will receive the benefit at the birth of a child, the father or mother (if both are unemployed or both work). But in some situations there is no choice:
- one parent is employed, and the other is unemployed (individual entrepreneur, student, etc.) - the employed person receives assistance;
- The father and mother are divorced, then the payment is due to the person with whom the child lives.
Where to contact
You can receive benefits from two organizations:
| at the employer |
|
| in the territorial department of social protection |
|
| social insurance fund | Individual entrepreneurs who pay mandatory insurance premiums for themselves. |
| other special institutions | Military personnel serving under contract at their place of duty. |
That is, depending on who pays the benefit, applicants need to apply there.
If in a family one parent is working and the other is not in any employment relationship, then only the employed person can receive benefits.
Deadlines
The timing of payment of a lump sum benefit at the birth of a child is strictly established.
You can apply for benefits within 6 months from the date of birth of the child. If this deadline is missed, compensation will be denied. And the term can only be restored through a judicial procedure.
After submitting the application, the money is paid within 10 days (from the employer or the Social Insurance Fund).
If you have to receive benefits from Social Security, payments are made until the 26th of the next month after submitting the documents.
We arrange assistance through the employer
What documents are needed when applying for a one-time benefit at the birth of a baby?
If you are officially employed and plan to receive funds through your employer, then you will need:
- birth certificate/court decision on adoption (copy);
- a copy of the marriage certificate (if divorce, then dissolution);
- a certificate stating that the second parent did not receive benefits (from the father/mother’s place of work or from Social Security);
- application (a sample application for a one-time benefit for the birth of a child is usually provided by the accounting department or human resources department. In the application, in addition to personal data, the bank account number for transferring funds is indicated);
- a certificate from the Criminal Code stating that the baby lives with you (if you are divorced and are applying for compensation for yourself);
- form No. 25 (If you are a single mother).
All collected papers must be transferred to the place of work no later than 183 days from the baby’s birth.
In order for the funds to arrive on time, keep the second copy of the application (with a mark of transfer to the employer) submitted to the HR department along with other documents. No more than 10 business days must pass from the date specified in the application until the funds are received in your account (or issued at the company’s cash desk).
Payments through RUSZN
All citizens who do not pay insurance payments to social funds apply to social security for benefits. As a rule, these are the unemployed (or unofficially employed) and students. Also, through Social Security, benefits are issued to individual entrepreneurs (if they do not pay contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for themselves).
To receive compensation, you need a standard package of documents. That is, the same documents for payment of a lump sum benefit at the birth of a child as when contacting an employer (see description above). Additionally, in addition to the specified papers, you will need:
- passport (certified copy with the original provided);
- a copy of the work book (if available);
- certificate of individual entrepreneur, as well as a certificate of non-receipt of compensation from the Social Insurance Fund;
- certificate from the place of study (for students);
- certificate of family composition (registration of family members);
- a document confirming that the husband/wife is unemployed (certificate from the employment center, copy of the work record book, etc.).
As in the case of registration through the employer, a certificate stating that the second parent has not received benefits is required. The exception is single mothers.
The application is drawn up on the form of the social security department.
You can submit all collected papers in a way convenient for you, namely:
- personally bring it to Social Security or the territorial MFC. On site, an employee of the institutions will check the completeness of the documents and their correctness. You can correct errors there;
- through a representative under a notarized power of attorney;
- by mail with a notification letter. Do not forget to put an inventory in the envelope, indicating all the enclosed documents. Having received the letter, the Social Security employee will check the actual availability of the papers with the inventory and sign for receipt;
- submit an electronic application through the State Services electronic resource. To do this, you need to register on the website gosuslugi.ru and fill out an application through your personal account.
About the fact of acceptance of documents, a Social Security (MFC) employee draws up a special receipt, which is transferred or sent (if the documentation was sent by mail) to the recipient of state assistance.
There is no choice about where to receive benefits, since the applicant must have a bank account where the payment amount is transferred.
The deadline for receiving funds is no later than the 26th day of the month following the month of submission of documents.
Example No. 1. A baby has appeared in the Skvortsov family. Father Skvortsov V.S. is employed, mother of Skvortsov T.K. - University student. Who can receive benefits? Since Skvortsova T.K. does not work and does not make payments to social funds, then the payment is made to father V.S. Skvortsov. at his place of work. To receive funds, in addition to other documents, Skvortsov will need a certificate from Social Security stating that his wife did not receive funds through the Social Security authorities.
Regional one-time payments
In addition to national payments, parents can additionally count on a one-time child benefit from regional authorities. For example, residents of Moscow receive one-time compensation payments in the amount of 5,500 (at the birth of the first child) or 14,500 (for the second and subsequent children). To receive the payment, you need to contact the regional social protection authority (RUSZN), or the MFC. If only one of the parents is a Muscovite, then to submit an application, in addition to standard documents (passport, birth certificate of the baby), you will need a certificate stating that the baby lives in Moscow (with a Muscovite parent).
Moscow authorities have allocated another type of assistance to support young families. One-time benefits are paid to parents under 30 years of age (citizens of the Russian Federation, both under the specified age). The amount of funds depends on the established minimum subsistence level (ML) and is 5 LM at the birth of the first child, 7 LM for the second and 10 LM for subsequent children. If the baby was born in January - March 2018, then the PM is applied at the rate of 15,786 rubles.
Example No. 2. Residents of Moscow, the Orlovs are a young family (S.V. Orlova is 29 years old, K.T. Orlova is 28 years old). In August 2013, the Orlov couple had their first child, P.S. Orlov. Three years later (in March 2018), the Orlov family was replenished with a daughter, E.S. Orlova. Let's calculate how much the Orlov family received from the Moscow municipal authorities for each child:
- for their first son, the Orlovs received a standard compensation payment of 5,500. Since at the time of the birth of their son, each of the spouses was under 30 years old, the Orlovs also received benefits under the program to help young families (the so-called “Luzhkov payments”) - 5 PM. The cost of living indicator at the date of birth of the baby (Q3 2015) is 15,141. Thus, the Orlovs were paid an additional 75,705 (15,141 * 5). In total for the son of Orlov P.S. the family will receive assistance 81.205 (5.500 + 75.705);
- at the birth of her daughter Orlova E.S. the family is entitled to only compensation of 14,500. Since in March 2018 each of the Orlov spouses was over 30 years old, they were not eligible for payments under the program to help young families.
The total amount of funds that the Orlovs received from the Moscow municipality was 95,705 (81,205 + 14,500).
It is not only the Moscow authorities that support families with children. For example, residents of St. Petersburg whose family has their first child receive funds in the amount of 29.839, the second - 39.788, and for large families (third and subsequent children) compensation is 49.733. In the Vladimir region, in addition to providing standard regional assistance (3,913 for the first child, 7,824 for the second and subsequent ones), payments are provided for twins (13,039) and triplets (19,559). In the Altai Territory, parents are entitled to a free plot of land for their third child. In the Orenburg and Pskov regions, compensation for the third and subsequent children is 100,000 rubles. In order to clarify information about the amount of assistance in your region, you need to contact the RUSZN at your place of residence. They will also tell you what documents are needed when paying benefits for the birth of a child, in addition to the standard ones (passport, birth certificate of the baby, application) and what is the procedure for paying a lump sum benefit of regional significance.

Question answer
Question:
Can a father apply for and receive a lump sum benefit upon the birth of a child?
Yes maybe. But only if the baby’s mother did not take advantage of this right. To confirm this fact, the RUSZN authorities, along with the standard package of documents, must provide a certificate from the mother’s workplace (for workers) or Social Security (for non-workers) stating that the mother did not receive funds for the child.
Question:
Can a young family count on “Luzhkov payments” as part of the Moscow family assistance program if one of the spouses is under 30 years old and the other is older.
No, each spouse must be no more than 30 years old.
Question:
Can a foreigner (non-resident) receive one-time assistance if the child was born on the territory of the Russian Federation?
Yes maybe. If a foreigner permanently resides in the Russian Federation (for example, has a residence permit) or is temporarily registered and registered with the Social Insurance Fund (for example, due to employment), then benefits will be received at his request.
Question:
The child's father and mother are divorced, the child lives with his mother. Who is entitled to a lump sum benefit in this case?
The mother has the right to receive assistance, since she actually lives with the baby. To apply for benefits, along with other documents, the mother must provide a certificate of divorce, as well as a certificate from the Housing Office about the composition of the family.
Question:
Can a mother who is a citizen of the Russian Federation who has gone abroad for permanent residence receive benefits?
No, despite the fact that my mother has official Russian citizenship, she cannot receive funds because she permanently resides abroad.
