Maternity capital in 2020 for 1 child, its amount and conditions for receiving are now one of the most discussed topics in the country. Russian women have many questions and doubts about this, while the government, meanwhile, is preparing a number of amendments to a bill on expanding the capital capital program. The updated project will take effect around the end of the first quarter of this year.

What changed

Before learning about maternity capital for 1 child and how to get it, here are some interesting facts. The state has been supporting families with children for 13 years. This is how much maternity capital acts, which until recently women could receive after the birth (adoption) of their second and subsequent children. Since 2007, the amount of payments has gradually increased (by the inflation rate), but in 2015 it was frozen.

During a recent January message to the Federal Assembly, President Vladimir Putin announced that from now on, maternity capital will be allocated to families immediately after the birth of their first child. And he instructed to increase its amount to 466 thousand rubles. Previously, maternity capital was equal to 453 thousand rubles, that is, the total increase was more than 10 thousand.

It is assumed that more than half a million families this year will receive their first birth certificates for the first time. For the 2nd child, a supplement of 150 thousand rubles is due, therefore, the total amount for families with several children will be 616 thousand rubles. About half a million families with several children will also be able to use the capital this year.

Important! The new rules apply only to children born this year. Maternity capital in 2020 for 1 child, provided that he was born in 2019, will not be indexed! They say that because of this, the network even created a petition where women who gave birth to children last year urge the authorities to issue maternity capital under the new rules to them too. Young mothers consider their babies to be deprived and demand to meet them halfway.

Who can get help from the state

One of the most common questions about maternity capital in 2020 for 1 child: who should get a certificate?

• if you are a woman with Russian citizenship and give birth or have already given birth to a baby after January 1 of the current year;
• you have not been deprived of parental rights;
• you have not taken any illegal actions against your child.

In all these cases, you can apply for maternity capital for the first child. And if you already have two children, one of whom was born after January 1, 2007, and you still have not had time to use the maternity capital, you are entitled to a certificate in the amount of 616 thousand rubles (including indexation).

If the mother is gone or she was deprived of parental rights, the child's father can issue a certificate. Of course, the child must also be a citizen of Russia.

It is interesting that you can permanently reside outside the country, but if you have Russian citizenship, then it will not be difficult to get maternity capital.

A few more clarifications about maternity capital in 2020 for 1 child (conditions for obtaining). You need to collect all the necessary documents. Moreover, it is not necessary to submit them yourself, you can ask a trusted person. The list of required documents includes:

This is the main list of documents, but additional ones may be required.

Perhaps, along with the amount of maternity capital, the conditions for obtaining it will also change. So, by 2022, the authorities promise to increase state aid to families with children by another 40 thousand rubles. The maternity capital program is expected to run until the end of 2026. Surely in the next 6 years the amount will be increased several times.

Latest news

The latest news in 2020 reads: now the maternity capital can be used for the construction or reconstruction of a country house. Corresponding amendments to the legislation will be introduced in the near future.

Earlier it became known that the State Duma discussed the possibility of spending maternity capital on the purchase of a family car. It was assumed that this should be a model of the domestic auto industry worth no more than a million rubles. Considering that maternity capital increased for 1 child in 2020, and the amount is approaching 500 thousand rubles, many families could change to their cars.

But later it became known that the deputies abandoned this venture. The ability to build a house on a personal plot at the expense of materkapital was the only innovation. As before, the certificate can only be used to pay for the education of children, pay off the mortgage, solve the housing issue (details in the video).

Also, mothers can attend to their own future and allocate funds from capital for their funded pension. There is also an opportunity to receive money on the card for the second child. But only if the family is low-income and its income is less than two times the subsistence minimum established in a particular region.
