The innovations regarding child benefits have prompted many expectant mothers to think about how to get a one-time childbirth allowance in the current 2020. Has the procedure remained the same, how much can you expect? Let's try to figure it out.

The main thing is to collect all the documents

How and where to get one-time childbirth allowance in 2020? Monetary support from the state, as before, is due to the mother, father or one of the child's guardians. If the child was stillborn, benefits will be denied.

Payments for a child can be arranged at work of one of the parents. In this case, the money is allocated from the funds of the Social Insurance Fund. The accounting department is obliged to clarify all the nuances. But if you want to know in advance how to get a lump sum for the child, we recommend that you first start collecting the necessary papers. If some kind of certificate is not enough, the process of obtaining material assistance will be delayed.

So, for a lump sum payment on the occasion of the birth of a child, you will need:

• statement;
• a copy of the baby's birth certificate;
• certificate from the registry office;
• a certificate from work indicating that the allowance was not paid earlier, if both parents work or if one of them is not employed, is a student, student. A certificate stating that a one-time benefit has not yet been accrued can be issued through the State Services;
• an extract from the adoption decision, if the newborn is adopted.

Families with twins or triplets are allowed to submit one claim for benefits.

The question often arises: will the package of documents for obtaining a one-time child benefit in 2020 differ if the mother does not work and is going to receive money from the social security agency or a multifunctional center?

Yes, you will need additional papers. In addition to those listed above, these are also:

1. Extract from the work book or military ID with the last place of work. If the beneficiary was not employed before the birth of the child and remains unemployed, this must be indicated;
2. A copy of the identity document. Non-working citizens may need to provide a copy of their residence permit or refugee certificate;
3. A copy of the temporary residence permit in the country.

If the mother and father do not work and apply for benefits to the social security fund at the place of residence, it is necessary to provide a certificate from the fund at the place of residence stating that the benefit was not accrued earlier.

At the time of this writing, the parents of the baby may be divorced. In this case, one of the parents with whom the child permanently lives can count on material assistance from the state. The money can be received at the place of work or at the nearest social security agency.

What kind of help is needed for this? A certificate that the marriage is terminated is mandatory. You will also need a document that will confirm the fact of the baby's residence with the parent who claims to be paid.

About indexing benefits

The question of the amount of payments is the second most popular after the question of how to get a lump sum at the birth of a child in 2020. The state is trying to regularly index payments for children. So, if until January 31, 2020, mothers were paid about 17.5 thousand rubles, then since the beginning of February this amount has increased and now amounts to 18 thousand.

Parents whose children were born before January 31 should understand that indexation will not affect them and they will receive the previous allowance in the amount of 17.5 thousand rubles. That is, it doesn't matter when they apply for money. The increased allowance is due only to mothers of babies born on February 1 and in the following months.

The regional coefficient is used to calculate the allowance. For example, in the Chelyabinsk region it is 15%.

Important! If you want to get guaranteed money, it is better not to hesitate. The allowance is paid within six months after childbirth. After this period, money will not be credited.

About the pilot project

Previously, there was a “credit system” everywhere, when the employer independently transferred the allowance to the employee's account, and then received compensation from the social insurance fund.

For 9 years, the country has been implementing a pilot project called Direct Payments. It is designed to protect those who work under an employment contract, and to guarantee them payments even in the event of the employer's financial insolvency or, for example, in the event of his termination of activity.

With "Direct payments" managers do not charge material assistance. How, then, can you get a lump sum for the birth of a child in 2020 from the FSS? To do this, you only need to prepare a package of necessary documents and transfer it to the social insurance fund, for example, through an account on the FSS website, through the MFC or in person.

In this case, the territorial bodies of the Fund pay benefits within the deadlines strictly stipulated by the legislation by transferring funds to the specified bank details or by postal order.

After the insured draws up an application for benefits and collects all the documents, the social security fund is obliged to consider the application within 5 days. The transfer of funds to the recipient's bank account or by mail must be made no later than 10 days after the approval of the payment.

The pilot project is used in dozens of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. From mid-summer it will be launched in Bashkortostan and Dagestan, Krasnoyarsk and Stavropol Territories, Leningrad, Volgograd, Tyumen and Yaroslavl Regions.

Children's manuals are not the only topic of concern to young mothers and fathers today. Also on the agenda is maternity capital and all issues related to it. Many answers to these questions can be found in the video:
