In order to improve the demographic situation and stimulate the birth rate in the country on May 7, 2012, the President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin signed decree No. 606, according to which large families receive additional assistance for their third child under 3 years old. Since then, the state support program has undergone a number of changes that potential recipients of child benefits need to know about in 2021.

All types of benefits for children under three years old

The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for several types of child benefits, including relying on the third child.

Payment type	Payout amount	Features of accrual
Maternity (up to 1, 5 years old)	40% of the average monthly salary for the previous 2 years	Monthly
For the birth of a third child	Determined by the amount of the child's subsistence minimum established in a specific constituent entity of the Russian Federation	Monthly, until the child turns three years old
Benefit for a child under three years old	50 rubles	The action ended in accordance with the presidential decree No. 570 of 2019-25-11
Childcare for a child up to three years old for families of military personnel	12 231 rubles	Monthly
Benefit for children if their mother lived in the Chernobyl zone	Up to 1, 5 - 3 485, 21 rubles From 1, 5 to 3 years old canceled	Monthly
For the birth of a child	18 021, 59 rubles	One-time payment
Compensation of payment for attending a kindergarten	For the first child - 20%, for the second - 50%, for the third - 70%	Monthly

Care allowance up to one and a half years

This type of payment is provided for a parent or guardian who works remotely or works part-time. The amount of the benefit is set according to the value of the minimum wage or at the rate of 40% of earnings. The volume can vary from 6,554.89 to 26,152.27 rubles.

Regional benefits for children under three years of age

The authorities of the regions that are problematic in terms of the demographic situation provide additional support to large families in the form of regional payments. The amount of the child allowance for the third child under 3 years of age in 2021 is determined depending on the subsistence level established in a particular subject.

Its change is the basis for the recalculation of benefits. Basic conditions for obtaining:

• income for each family member does not exceed the PM;
• children are citizens of Russia, have a permanent registration on the territory of the Russian Federation and appeared in the family after January 1, 2012;
• the age of the child (children) - no more than three years.

Maternity payments

The Government of the Russian Federation has approved new rules for calculating insurance payments, which will also affect the amount of child benefits, in particular, payments up to 1, 5 years old and maternity benefits. So, after giving birth, a woman will be able to count on receiving monetary compensation in the amount of 322,192 rubles, while the maximum monthly payment will be 27,985 rubles.

In addition, large families are reimbursed for utility bills in the amount of 50% of the amount spent.

Who Can Become a Child Benefit Recipient

The basis for calculating the payment is the very fact of the appearance of a third child in the family. In this case, it does not matter at all whether the parent is employed or unemployed, and the child is a blood relative or an adopted child.

Such payments are made, as a rule, for the mother, but in some cases, the baby's father can also become the recipient. Unlike one-time compensations, which are accrued automatically upon birth, a full package of documents must be submitted to apply for a monthly benefit.

The list includes:

• baby's birth certificate;
• a document confirming the low level of family income (1.5 times lower than the regulated PM);
• a document confirming that the child is the third in a particular family;
• passport of a parent claiming compensation;
• certificate confirming cohabitation with the child;
• if the family has both parents, then a marriage certificate is provided, in other cases - a certificate of divorce or death of the second parent;
• details of the bank account to which the funds will be transferred.

The term "family" here means the cohabitation of citizens who have a common household. When determining the property status of a family, the following incomes are taken into account:

• the earnings of each adult household;
• monetary allowances for military personnel and categories of the population equated to them;
• social and other charges.

How to arrange

It is necessary to submit an application for registration of payments for the third child until he is 1, 5 years old. In 2021, this can be done by contacting the MFC branch, the social security authority, or using the public services portal.

To receive the service remotely, you must fill out the form at the EPGU. The information specified by the applicant when registering on the portal is filled in automatically, so he only needs to enter the missing data and attach electronic copies of documents to the application.

The questionnaire is sent to the appropriate authority, while the applicant for receiving the payment can track its current state by opening the section "My applications". Notification of approval or rejection of the application for child benefits under 3 years old will go to the applicant's personal account.

Reasons for refusal

The biggest problem and reason for refusal is the incorrectly drawn up mandatory documentation on the basis of which payments are assigned. But this deviation is not final, since the documents can be resubmitted.

In addition, the law establishes norms for family income, and if they change, the social security body has the right to refuse to satisfy the application.

Additional help for large families

Large families can count not only on financial support from the state, but also on non-material benefits, which include:

• free travel on public transport for school-age children;
• the possibility of a child entering a preschool institution out of turn;
• free meals in schools and vocational schools (compensated from the regional budget);
• free provision of children under 6 years of age with necessary drugs.

In addition, parents are given the right to receive a preferential mortgage, as well as a land plot for the construction of a residential building.

Thus, such reforms of the state support system for families with children are designed not only to improve the demographic situation in the country, but also to provide parents with many children with a decent standard of living. But only on condition of their timely appeal to the relevant authorities and the preparation of the necessary documentation.

Summarize

1. In the event of the birth of a third child, families can count on state support in which the level of income for each is 1.5 times lower than the established subsistence minimum. The subsistence level depends on the region of residence.
2. Any citizen of the Russian Federation can apply for and receive a federal payment, regardless of whether he is employed or not.
3. The application is submitted through the portal of public services, as well as when visiting the territorial body of social protection or the MFC.
