In connection with the increase in child benefits and maternity capital, it is logical to ask the question: will the benefit increase in early pregnancy in 2020? All Russian women are entitled to payments if they register for up to 12 weeks. Does the government plan to index them?

Federal and regional benefits

Before we talk about the amount of early pregnancy benefits in 2020, let's find out the differences between federal and regional benefits.

Federal benefits are paid as a lump sum or monthly. For example, working women receive maternity payments once. As an allowance in connection with the birth of a baby and an allowance for registering with an antenatal clinic.

Until January 1, 2020, women received a monthly allowance for children under one and a half years old, and this year the payment period was extended to 3 years. In January of this year, there was also regular material support for low-income families with children under 8 years old. And it is more of the early pregnancy benefit in 2020.

As for regional benefits, they differ in terms of payment conditions and amounts. Somewhere, for example, "land capital" is provided for large families and even funds are allocated to buy a car, but somewhere this is not. In the capital, in principle, there is no such thing as regional capital, but there is support for young parents under the age of 30, lump sum payments in connection with the birth of a child, and so on.

About all-Russian indexing

It turns out that an all-Russian indexation of benefits is planned in the near future. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has already signed a corresponding decree. It can be expected that benefits in early pregnancy will increase in 2020 from 2020-01-02. Along with payments in connection with the birth of a child and the minimum allowance for caring for the second child in the family.

For example, if you gave birth to a child before February 1, 2020, you are entitled to a lump sum of 17.4 thousand rubles. Mothers of babies born after February 1 will receive 18 thousand each (17, 4 multiplied by a new coefficient of 1, 04).

Indexation coefficient 1, 04 is also relevant for benefits in early pregnancy in 2020. How much will future moms get?

On increasing benefits

In Russia, payments due to early registration with a medical facility are small. So, the allowance for early pregnancy at the beginning of 2020 was only 655, 49 rubles. If you multiply this amount by a new coefficient, you get 675, 15 rubles. Agree, not a lot. For example, in neighboring Belarus, pregnant women are paid several times more for registration: about $ 120 or about 7, 5 thousand rubles.

Benefits for pregnant women may vary by region. So, taking into account the Ural coefficient of 1, 15, expectant mothers will receive a little more for registration, about 750 rubles. These are residents of Izhevsk, Magnitogorsk, Nizhny Tagil and other cities.

How do I get benefits?

You found out about the amount of the allowance for registration in early pregnancy in 2020, and finally we will find out how you can get it. It turns out that it is paid along with the maternity allowance at the place of work. But both unemployed women and full-time students can also apply for payments, especially since they are fixed, that is, all women, regardless of their type of activity and employment, receive the same benefits.

In Moscow and St. Petersburg, there is an opportunity to receive a one-time allowance for women registered for up to 20 weeks. It is not necessary to have Russian citizenship for this, but registration must be.

To receive the allowance, you will need:

• the corresponding statement;
• identity document;
• certificate from consultation on registration up to 12 weeks.

Working women provide documents at their place of work, female students - at their place of study, unemployed people should contact the local department of social protection.
