At the birth of a child, certain payments are due, the amounts of which depend on family income, region and some other factors. These benefits are paid by the state, and for this it is necessary to collect and submit the necessary papers on time.
Instructions
Step 1
When a child is planned in a family, it is worth knowing in advance what payments are due to him, and what is needed for this. Even before the birth of the baby, a working woman in the 30th week has the right to go on paid maternity leave for 140 days, while the calculation is based on her average salary for the last 2 years. For 2014, the maximum amount of this benefit is 207,123 rubles, and the minimum is 25,564 rubles. It is credited through the employer after you bring a sick leave from the antenatal clinic and write a statement. The unemployed are not entitled to such payments, with the exception of those dismissed in connection with the liquidation of enterprises during the year before.
Step 2
After the birth of the baby, a one-time allowance is paid in the amount of 13,741 rubles, which increases every year due to inflation. Additional regional benefits are possible depending on where you live. To obtain it, working women need to bring to their employer a child's birth certificate, a certificate from the registry office and a certificate from the spouse's work that it was not credited to him. If a woman does not work, her husband can receive this benefit, and if both are unemployed, or she is a single mother, then payments are made through the social security authorities upon providing the same documents, as well as a copy of the work book.
Step 3
Until the child reaches one and a half years of age, a woman has the right to receive benefits for him. It is assigned to those employed in the amount of 40% of her salary for the last two years, but not more than 17,990 rubles. It begins to accrue after the end of maternity leave (on average 70 days after childbirth), after submitting an application to the employer. If a woman decides to go to work, then she stops receiving this allowance, with the exception of part-time work or work at home. A spouse or relatives of grandparents may also be on leave to care for a child up to one and a half years. If they are still working, then they are also paid for it. Unemployed women receive this benefit from the social security authorities: for the first child, 2,576 rubles, and for the second, 5,153 rubles.
Step 4
After the child turns one and a half years old, the allowance becomes the same for everyone and amounts to 50 rubles - this amount is paid up to 3 years or stops earlier if a woman goes to work. In some regions, the amount of these payments may be increased at the initiative of local authorities.
Step 5
In addition to all these benefits, a child can receive a certain amount of money every month until the age of 16. This happens if he lives with his parents, as well as if his family is recognized as poor, i.e. income for each person is less than the subsistence level. The amount of these payments also differs depending on the region, and you can get it from the social protection authorities by submitting your passports, child's birth certificate, income statement and certificate of cohabitation with the child there. Benefits are increasing for single mothers and people with disabilities.
