At the end of December 2020, information appeared that the deadline for raising the allowance for children from 3 to 7 years old in 2021 will come from January 1 of the new year. But that did not happen. In mid-January, reports were received about the discussion of this problem with the President of the country and the development of a draft new decree by the Ministry of Labor. It talks about a new, three-step algorithm for assigning benefits and other changes.

New assignment algorithm

The most complete answer to the question when the benefit will be raised from 3 to 7 years in 2021 is detailed in the latest news. A phased introduction of a new format is planned to improve the living standards of low-income families.

Earlier, the population was informed about the start of payments, the documents that are required to receive state aid, and the expected amount of the benefit in 2021. Payments for children in 2020 amounted to half of the subsistence allowance in the region, and on average in the country it was about 6 thousand rubles.

The implementation of the phased algorithm means:

1. From January 1, the allowance will remain the same and will amount to half of the subsistence minimum determined by the local authorities. If it increases, the amount of the benefit will also increase.
2. At the second stage (the exact terms are not yet known), the payment for children from 3 to 7 years old will be 75% of the regional subsistence allowance. This increase will not happen for every family, but only for those whose income for each member has not reached the subsistence level, even if they receive 50%.
3. The third stage starts on the same conditions - to receive payments in the amount of the regional subsistence allowance. At the same time, it is necessary to confirm that each family member still does not have an income in the amount of the subsistence minimum established by the authorities.

A total of 4.7 million families across the country received benefits. The government was not ready for such a number of applicants. The introduction of a three-tier system will determine the family's eligibility for payment. For this, a new criterion will appear in the assessment system - the presence of movable and immovable property.

Terms of receipt

There is no definite information about when the allowance for children from 3 to 7 years old will be increased in 2021. At the official level, according to the latest news, it was only reported that more "fine address settings" would be introduced. What is meant by this definition is not yet clear. It is assumed that the registration will take place according to the previous algorithm, in a lightweight form, but the property status will be checked within the framework of interdepartmental interaction.

To assign an increased benefit, you need:

1. Find out the value of the regional subsistence allowance and calculate your income for each of the family members, clarify the criteria by which the accrual will be made in order to ensure the right to receive. It is likely that the benefit will not be awarded to owners of premium cars, spacious apartments in new buildings, large private houses.
2. To write an application. This can be done by either parent, no matter the mother or the father. You can apply for payment from the beginning of the second quarter - from April 1 of the current year. There are several ways to do this - go to the State Services website, visit the MFC, send it by mail with acknowledgment of receipt, make a personal visit to the social security agency.
3. Wait for notification to increase the benefit to 75%.

Those who have previously submitted an application do not need to re-submit it. Those who will be eligible for the increased benefit based on income will be eligible for benefits from January 2021.

If there is no opportunity or desire to do calculations, but the dire financial situation is evident, and there are children of this age in the family, you can simply write a statement and forward it in any of the suggested ways. The result will be denial or increased appointment notice.

Outcomes

The allowance for children from 3 to 7 years old is a relatively new payment provided by the state as assistance to families with children. It is not known when the three-stage system will start working, but an application can be submitted from April 1 and not a single month of the year will be left without payments if the family is really in poverty. It is expected that 75% of the PM will be introduced first, and then another increase if this measure does not work. You can apply for an increased size from April 1, but you do not need to do this again.
