Allowance for a second child

If you are going to become a mom and in your family this will be the second child, then you will enjoy a pleasant bonus from the state. This gift is maternity capital - a kind of allowance for the birth of a second child of 387,640 rubles 30 kopecks. A wonderful initiative of the state, aimed at increasing the birth rate in the country. This allowance for a second child in 2012 was increased by 22 thousand rubles. Payments to working and non-working mothers differ significantly from each other. There is a one-time and a monthly allowance for a second child.

Let's consider in more detail, what amounts a young mother can expect:

• 465 rubles 20 kopecks - for every mother who registered in a consultation at an early pregnancy. One-time payment.
• 12 405 rubles 32 kopecks - each mother for the birth of a child. One-time payment.
• 19 645 rubles 12 copecks - the pregnant wife of a serviceman called up for military service. One-time payment.
• 8 419 rubles 34 kopecks - allowance for a child of a serviceman called for military service. Payment is monthly.
• 2 326 rubles 00 kopecks - a mandatory minimum, a benefit for the first child before reaching a year and a half, every unemployed young mother. Payments are monthly.
• 4 651 rubles 99 kopecks - the minimum required, the size of the allowance for the second child until he reaches a year and a half. Paid to every unemployed young mother on a monthly basis.
• 40% of the average monthly earnings for the last 24 months, but not more than 14 625 rubles - allowance for each child up to a year and a half working mother. It is paid monthly.
• 100% of the average earnings, but no more than 36 563 rubles a month - is paid to a working mom for 140 days (seventy days before and after delivery).
• The allowance for the second child, as on all others, will not be given to unemployed mothers by pregnancy and childbirth. Since, without having a monthly income, they did not lose it.
• 387 640 rubles 30 kopecks - the state grant for the second child (under the name "parent capital"). One-time non-cash payment of cash (issuance of a certificate), which can be spent on reaching a child of 3 years, for only a few purposes.
• 220 rubles - will receive a mom from a low-income family. To obtain it you need to collect certificates confirming that the family income is less than the subsistence minimum. Payments are monthly.
• 330 rubles - a monthly allowance. It is paid to widows (widowers), single mothers, children whose parents are officially wanted, to the children of servicemen called up for urgent service.

Officially working women receive all benefits in the place of residence. Non-working women receive a maternity benefit at the place of work of the spouse. In the absence of work for both parents or in the absence of a husband, Mom can receive the allowance due to her in the social protection department. Benefit by birth can be obtained within six months from the birth of the baby. The funds will be paid no later than ten days from the date of application and the provision of all required documents.

If the mother is studying at an educational institution, then all official payments of the maternity allowance and subsequent childbirth will be held at the place of study.

The maternity capital can be used to pay for the education of mother or children, to increase the amount of the funded pensions of the mother, to improve housing conditions (mortgage loans, housing purchase). On consideration in the State Duma there are several bills, which offer the opportunity to use this amount to pay for keeping a child in a pre-school institution and buying a car. Both innovations, if adopted, will greatly facilitate the life of young parents and enable them to use funds for vital purposes.

Get a certificate that gives the right to the parent capital is simple enough. If you have a second baby or the first birth gave you twins, as well as the birth of the third and subsequent child (if there is no certificate at the time of the birth of the second), you should collect the necessary package of documents. It includes your passport, confirming citizenship, registration and of course the identity of the mother of the baby, birth certificates for all children and documents on their citizenship, if they were issued separately.

All documents must be submitted to the Pension Fund Department, to which you are registered. Employees of the fund personally take photocopies from each document and take from you an application for obtaining maternity capital. From the moment you submit your application and all documents, the decision to issue you a certificate is taken within a month.
