Benefits for children, especially for low-income citizens, constitute one of the main items of government spending. Let's take a look at what payments are due to children under 18 and low-income families in 2021.

Does the region of residence matter

First of all, it is important to note that you can apply for benefits not only within your own region, but also in Moscow. For example, if at least one of the parents and the child have a temporary registration in the capital, then they can apply for each of the proposed payments through a multifunctional center for providing services to the population.

What is required for this:

• fill out an application for the desired allowance;
• submit documents to the MFC employee according to the established list;
• indicate the details of the bank account to which the funds will subsequently be transferred;
• get a receipt for the accepted documents.

Further, within 3 working days, the process of receiving and processing the application by the relevant department takes place, after which the authorities notify the status of the following to their personal account on the public services portal or through a printed notification:

• whether the application has been approved;
• for what reason the refusal was given.

If you receive a positive answer, then within a few days the funds will be credited to the account (if the application was submitted before the 26th). Depending on the type of allowance, payments can be made either from the moment the application is submitted, or from the moment the child reaches a certain age.

If none of the parents have at least a temporary registration in Moscow, then they can draw up and submit an application exclusively within their region. Next, we will analyze what specific benefits in 2021 are due to families with minor children under 18 years of age.

What benefits are eligible for persons before the age of majority

There are a number of child benefits. Some are credited to a parent's bank account once, while others are credited monthly. Among these benefits, there is a clear distinction for families with one or two children, for large families.

Let's analyze the full list of benefits for children under 18 years of age:

• payment for early registration in the antenatal clinic;
• payments for vitamins and various complexes to support pregnancy;
• payments to pregnant women whose husbands are called up for service;
• registration of payments for pregnancy and childbirth;
• one-time payment at the birth of a child;
• maternity capital due to each family at the birth of even the first child after January 1, 2020;
• payment for childcare for the first and subsequent children until they reach 1, 5 years;
• payment to children from 3 to 15 years old;
• payment from maternity capital for children from 3 to 7 years old.

Recently, each of the above payments can be received for each newborn in the family, regardless of what kind of account it is. Maternity capital will now be able to receive not just once, but for each baby born after January 1, 2020.

The calculation of maternity benefits varies depending on the parent's experience, the amount of transfers to the pension fund, the number of babies, as well as the complexity of labor. The payment amount is equal to the lower limit of the subsistence minimum, and the upper one is several times higher than it. Maternity charges can be 3 or even 4 times higher than the average subsistence minimum.

If maternity pay is paid monthly or until the child reaches 1, 5 years of age, or until 3 years of age, then the childcare allowance is paid only up to one and a half years.

The amount of the payment is set depending on the subsistence minimum. Not only working, but also unemployed parents can apply for funds, since the payment is provided to all citizens.

Payments to the wives of the military, as well as for various vitamins and mineral complexes, appeared relatively recently. Thus, the state wants to support families, focusing on the program of demographic growth of the country's population.

It is also worth noting the support of families in the form of maternity capital, which is currently available to absolutely all families, regardless of the number of children. Families can receive it by the end of 2026, but there is a possibility of further extending the payment.

According to the adopted amendments, with the help of maternity capital, a family can cover a mortgage loan in the amount of 450 thousand rubles. Benefits for children living in low-income families are of no less importance. Let's look at what payments low-income families can apply for in 2021.

Child benefits for low-income families

Families with minor children who are listed in the social protection authorities as poor are entitled to additional payments. These are the following categories:

• single mothers not receiving child support;
• families where parents do not work;
• families where parents receive a salary that does not exceed the minimum wage.

There is also special support for those families with more than 3 children. It comes into force under the following circumstances:

• with a sharp increase in total monthly expenses, the family will receive about 619 rubles for each of the children, if their number is less than 5, 774 rubles for each, if there are more than 5 children;
• 696 rubles are allocated for food;
• 538 rubles, if not more than 4 children, and 1,077 rubles, if there are more than 5 children in the family, are allocated to pay off receipts for housing and communal services;
• if the family has more than 10 children, then she gets the right to additional funds on Family Day, as well as to prepare children for school in the amount of about 10-15 thousand rubles.

The main allowance for low-income families is issued every year until the child reaches the age of 18. The amount is from 1,500 rubles. Parents whose income does not exceed the subsistence level can apply.

Often the applicants are:

• military wives;
• single mothers who do not receive child support from the child's father.

Also, as an aid to such families, the social protection authorities offer to issue an allowance in the form of food cards. If the income does not exceed the subsistence level, then parents can apply for the purchase of food ration cards, which they can then exchange for food.

Such a measure provides an opportunity to get not only food, but also some vital essential goods. For example, baby care items. In addition to food or some kind of hygiene products, the family can receive medicines for children under 3 years of age.

Presidential payments for low-income families deserve special attention. These payments include benefits:

• from birth until the child reaches 1, 5 years of age;
• from 1, 5 to 3 years.

To obtain it, it is important that the family meets the requirements for low-income categories:

• parents do not work;
• do not receive wages in excess of the subsistence level;
• do not receive unemployment benefits.

It is also known that from January 1, 2021, the benefit from 3 to 7 years will increase by 2 times. Thus, there are many government programs available to families and low-income citizens with children under the age of 18. To learn more about each of them, it is enough to contact an employee of the MFC or the social protection authorities.

Summarize

1. The allowance can be drawn up at the place of registration. If the family is officially registered in Tyumen, but at least one of the parents has a temporary registration in Moscow, then he has the right to apply for Moscow payments.
2. Some payments are transferred to a bank account at a time, some are paid until the child reaches a certain age. For example, at the birth of a baby, the mother receives 18,004, 12 rubles only once, and the allowance for caring for him will be received until the child reaches 1.5 years.
3. Families with one child and large families are eligible for benefits for the poor. It is important to have the status of poor citizens.
4. Such citizens also have the right to receive cards that can be exchanged for food, hygiene products and medicines for a child under 3 years old.
