Allowance for caring for a child up to 1, 5 years old is included in the list of social benefits aimed at improving the welfare of families with children. In 2021, citizens who are on leave of the same name can count on such assistance. The amount of compensation is determined depending on the region of residence and the level of the applicant's earnings.

WHO CAN BECOME A RECIPIENT OF THE BENEFIT

The circle of recipients of such payments is much wider in comparison with the list of persons eligible for maternity benefits. They are given the right to formalize the appropriate compensation.

If two or more close people are caring for a child, only one of them (by choice) can count on financial assistance. The following categories of citizens have the right to receive childcare benefits for a child under 1, 5 years of age:

• relatives of the baby, insured under the social insurance program;
• relatives who are not insured under the social insurance program, in the event of certain circumstances: deprivation of the mother and father of parental rights, death of one or both parents;
• fathers, mothers, guardians, including full-time students;
• women serving on a contract basis, as well as fathers and mothers who serve in the structures of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian Guard, the Federal Penitentiary Service and other similar bodies;
• citizens dismissed due to the liquidation of the enterprise: relatives - during the period of caring for an infant, mothers - during the period of carrying a child or being on leave for BiR.

Part-time work, as well as work from home, cannot serve as a basis for termination of payments.

If the recipient has a part-time job in another organization, the benefit is provided by the funds of the employer chosen by the employee.

In case of coincidence in time of two holidays (for BiR and childcare), a woman is entitled to only one type of social support. In some cases, payments are made by the forces of social security authorities.

PACKAGE OF DOCUMENTS

To process the payment, the mother, father or any other relative of the child must submit the following documents:

1. Application for the appointment of compensation.
2. Birth certificates of all children.
3. Birth certificate of a child (form 24). Issued by the registry office in a single copy.
4. A certificate from the place of work of a parent who continues to work. The document must contain information that the second parent is not on parental leave and is not a recipient of the compensation of the same name. In the event of a divorce of the spouses and their separation, such a document will not be required. The funds will be credited to the bank account of the parent with whom the newborn lives. In this case, a divorce certificate will be required.

If the parent is not officially employed, a certificate is issued by the social security authorities. If the care is carried out by the grandparents and other relatives, such a document will be required from both parents.

In addition to basic documents, you may need:

• a certificate from the Department of Internal Affairs confirming the fact that the whereabouts of the wanted parents are unknown;
• a certificate of the parents' stay in places of detention (when the child is transferred to a foster family or under guardianship);
• other certificates and documents.

All information indicated in the document is certified by a signature, and the date of application must also be indicated. It is recommended to fill out the application directly in the department of social protection or in the accounting department of the enterprise according to the provided sample.

CHANGES IN LEGISLATION

From 2021, some categories of recipients can count on an increased amount of childcare benefits for a child up to 1.5 years old. First of all, this applies to low-income families in which the income for each household, including a child, does not exceed 2 LMs established in a particular constituent entity of the Federation.

On average in the Russian Federation, this indicator is determined in the amount of 12 130 rubles. But each region has its own value. For example, in the capital, in the Far East and in the regions of the Far North, the value is higher, and in some regions the figure is much lower.

NUANCES OF APPOINTMENT OF AID

Parents should be aware of some of the nuances provided for by law and concerning the procedure for awarding compensation. The right to receive material assistance has a limited duration of 12 months, after which the benefit must be reissued. That is, given the fact that the payment period has been extended to three years, the mother will have to apply for registration twice more.

If the allowance was issued within six months from the moment the baby was born, accruals are made for the entire period (6 months). If the application is submitted later, the funds are credited from the moment of application.

The allowance for the first child is formed from the state treasury, while the payment for the second is a kind of cash out of the maternity capital. Therefore, you should be aware that when such compensation is issued, the amount of MK will decrease monthly.

The payment does not apply to children born in 2017. This type of benefit is not paid for the third and subsequent children.

PAYMENT AMOUNT

The amount of compensation is equal to 40% of the average salary, while the law establishes a minimum threshold below which the amount of payment cannot be. It will depend on the order of the appearance of the child (first, second and further).

The majority of families in 2021 can hope to receive a payment in the amount of 6,752 rubles. The increased minimum allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old will be received by parents of the second and subsequent children, but only if the mother / father has served in law enforcement agencies or lost their jobs during the period of caring for the baby.

For the unemployed, students and other categories who are charged a fixed amount, the amount of the payment remains regardless of the order of birth of children. The minimum monthly payment for unemployed citizens is:

• for the first child - 3,375 rubles;
• on the second - 6,751 rubles.

Minimum, taking into account the minimum wage:

• for the first child - 4,852 rubles;
• on the second - 6,751 rubles.

The maximum is limited at the legislative level. That is, a person who receives a high salary cannot count on a child allowance higher than the level enshrined in the legislation of the Russian Federation:

• for the first-born - 27,984 rubles;
• for the second baby - 27,984 rubles.

It should also be borne in mind that each region applies regional coefficients, depending on the territorial location. For example, in the Urals, the subsidy is increased by 15%, and in the Far North - by 1.5-2 times.

SUMMING UP

1. When calculating the final amount of the childcare allowance, the level of salary of the family member caring for him, the region of residence and the size of the minimum wage are taken into account.
2. Parents cannot receive compensation below the legal threshold.
3. The maximum amount of the benefit is also limited by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
