Starting from January 1, 2020, the procedure for assigning child benefits at birth will significantly change. New ones will appear in the list of required payments, and the size of some existing payments will be increased several times. All changes are aimed at stimulating fertility in the framework of the national project "Demography".
Big changes
From January 1, 2020, amendments to the law come into force, providing the state guaranteed material support for motherhood and fatherhood. The amendment was initiated by President Vladimir Putin. The essence of the change No. 81-ФЗ dated 05/19/1995 is as follows:
- childcare allowance will be paid once a month from birth to 3 years;
- the criterion of need will increase from one and a half times to twice the cost of living.
Note that we are talking about presidential payments, and not about the care allowance paid at the place of work. We also recall that until 2020, Putin's payments are made from the moment the baby appears in the family only up to 1.5 years. In the future, if a woman continues to remain on maternity leave until the child reaches the age of three, the benefit is paid by the employer. The amount for all is fixed and small - 50 rubles per month. Financing of “presidential children’s” is carried out as follows:
- first birth allowance - from the federal budget;
- of maternal capital - when a second baby appears in the family.
Experts have already appreciated the scale of innovation. An increase in the criterion of need to two minimum living wages will allow counting on state aid to a much larger number of citizens. According to preliminary estimates, due to changes in legislation, in 2020 the number of families receiving children for their first child will increase by more than 350 thousand, and more than 400 thousand in connection with the advent of the second baby.
As always, in the planned mode in 2020, annual indexation of benefits for pregnancy, birth and child care will be carried out. Assistance from the state, taking into account the increase in the family, will begin to be received from February 1.
Material assistance at birth
On the occasion of the birth of a baby, in 2020 the family has the right to material assistance from the state in the form of a one-time payment. The allowance is granted to everyone, without exception, the family income does not matter. As a rule, payment is made to one of the parents who, at the time of the appearance of a new family member, is officially employed. If both parents are “at work”, then the baby’s mother has priority. In families where mom is unemployed and dad is employed, the latter will receive money at the place of work. Social protection authorities will transfer financial assistance to those families where both parents do not work. If the parents (one of the parents) are students who attend classes in the afternoon on an ongoing basis, then material support will be received at the place of study.
To assign benefits in 2020, you will need to collect a package of documents:
- the passport;
- birth certificate of a child;
- marriage certificate (if any);
- a certificate from the other parent that he did not draw up and did not receive benefits at the place of work or study.
Along with money on the occasion of the appearance of the baby in the family, the mother has the right to financial assistance in the form of an allowance for early registration. Such a payment has a one-time nature. For her appointment, at the place of registration, it is necessary to provide a certificate from the antenatal clinic.Early registration is considered up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Lump sum payments for 2020:
| Name of payment | Size in 2020, rub. | |
| until February 1 | from February 1 * | |
| At birth | 17 479,73 | 18 143,96 |
| For early registration | 655,49 | 680,40 |
* - recalculation from February 1 is made taking into account the planned indexation. According to preliminary data from the Bank of Russia, its index at the beginning of 2020 will be 1.038.
Regardless of the total number of children in the family, a lump sum payment relies on everyone.
Child Care Payments
In 2020, at the birth of the baby, the family can count on two types of monthly benefits:
- the main up to 1.5 years;
- additional subsidy for poor citizens (presidential payments).
For the appointment of the basic allowance, those who are employed must apply at the place of work, the unemployed - to the social security authorities registered with the employment service - are not entitled to monetary compensation. The appointment procedure in these cases has not changed over the past few years.
An additional subsidy for the first-born is issued at the OSZN, for the second baby - at the Pension Fund. Recall that families can count on Putin's payments, where:
- the child appeared after January 1, 2019;
- parents and baby have Russian citizenship;
- total income for the year (preceding the year of circulation) should not exceed twice the cost of living of the able-bodied population.
When applying for an appointment within the first six months from the date of birth of the child, the allowance is assigned from the date of birth. At a later application, the allowance will be assigned from the date of application.
The size of the basic payments for caring for a child up to 1.5 years is shown in the table:
| Recipient | The amount of monthly benefits for the care of a child up to 1.5 years in 2020 | |||
| Mother, father or child carer | At first | On the second and subsequent | ||
| before indexing | after indexing from February 1 * | before indexing | after indexing from February 1 * | |
| Idle | 4852 rub. | 5036 rub. | 6,554.89 rubles | RUB 6,803.9 |
| Formally employed | 40% of the average salary for 2018 and 2019 | |||
| no more than 26152.33 rubles., and not less than 4852 rubles. | no more than 27 984, 66 rubles., and not less than 5036 rubles. | no more than 26152 rubles., and not less than 6554.89 rubles. | no more than 27 984.66 rubles., and not less than 6803.9 rubles. | |
* - when taking into account indexation with an index of 1,038.
As for the size of presidential payments, it depends solely on the region of residence. The subsidy is paid in an amount equal to the children's cost of living in the region. The average size of Putin's in Russia is about 10,000 rubles. Payments from the president in 2020 are due to citizens of the Russian Federation only when the first and second baby appear in the family. There is no subsidy for the third and subsequent children.
The right to receive presidential financial assistance is lost, in the case of a mother (or another person on maternity leave) goes to work. You can maintain state support while working at home or when working on a part-time basis.
