Women who raise their children on their own should receive help from the state, as they have to simultaneously earn a living and take care of the baby. What payments are due to single mothers in 2020 and how much does it get in monetary terms?

Single mother status

Several categories are clearly spelled out in Russian legislation that determine the conditions for the status of a single mother:

1. Single women who have adopted or adopted a child.
2. In the child's birth certificate, there is a dash in the column "father".
3. In the same column, information is recorded from the words of the mother, but without the provision of documents.
4. The father denied his paternity in court.

Single mother status is by no means granted by default. It can only be legally formalized with the social protection authorities. For the purpose of consultation on this matter or to obtain the relevant documents, you should contact the MFC (local multifunctional center).

Types of cash payments

Material payments to a single mother in 2020 depend on the woman's earnings before obtaining this status. However, there are several types of benefits:

• federal payments - funded from the state budget, taking into account the regional coefficient, if any;
• budget - the amount and regularity of payments are determined by local social protection authorities, and the money comes from the local budget.

To receive childcare benefits, a woman should contact the social service in her area (RUSZN or social security). In addition, a single mother can count on some benefits, as well as a double tax deduction, which is insignificant, but will improve the financial situation of an inferior family.

Benefit categories

What benefits are there for single mothers in 2020 and how much can I get? This year, the government provided for the following payments for women who are forced to raise a child on their own:

1. A one-time allowance for women registered before 12 weeks of pregnancy. Funding is provided at the place of work. In the capital, the term has been increased to 20 weeks. In this case, the money goes to the social card of a resident of Moscow.
2. Lump-sum payment after childbirth. The allowance also arrives at the place of work. If the woman was temporarily unemployed and did not study anywhere, then the payment can be formalized at the RUSZN. For single mothers in the capital, a combination of maternity benefits and payments for mothers up to 30 years old is provided.
3. Every month a woman is entitled to benefits for a child up to 1, 5 years old. The social status of the mother determines where the payments will come from - from RUSZN or from work.

Regional payments for single mothers also remain in effect in 2020. This category of benefits is provided for low-income single mothers whose income is less than the subsistence level.

The amount of this allowance is:

• for children from 0 to 3 years old - 15 thousand rubles;
• from 3 years to the age of majority (18 years) - 6 thousand rubles.

The amount of cash payments may vary depending on the regional constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Government changes regarding the size of indexes are not excluded.

But it is in 2020 that benefits are provided for single mothers that compensate for the growing living costs associated with higher prices for food, household items, clothes for the child.

A double tax deduction will allow a single mother to receive about 2, 8 thousand rubles. for each child under the age of 18. If he enters a higher educational institution for a full-time form of study, then the material support remains up to 24 years. In the event of a disability in a child who is supported by a single woman, the amount of payments increases to 6 thousand rubles.

The size of maternity capital for children

In 2020, the government revised the size of maternity capital for the first, second and more children. These cash benefits are popularly called "Putin's" payments. The President of Russia proposed to amend the law and increase the size of maternity capital at the birth of a second child by 150 thousand rubles. The new law comes into force on January 1, 2020.

So, what payments are due to a single mother in 2020 for the first child and more:

1. Maternity capital for 1 child is 466 thousand rubles.
2. On the 2nd - 616 thousand rubles.
3. At the birth of the third baby, the family will receive 450 thousand rubles.
