One-time childbirth allowance: documents, size

For couples who have recently got a baby, the state offers material assistance - a one-off allowance at the birth of children. To receive this payment, you need to know the specifics of its appointment, as well as a list of documents involved in this process.

The amount of one-time payments

The amount of allowances for young families is primarily affected by inflation. Depending on its fluctuations, the coefficient is added to the size of the lump sum, that is, there is indexation. For comparison: if in 2015 young parents can receive a benefit of 14,497.80 rubles, then in 2014 this amount was slightly less - 13,741.99 rubles. For families living in the Urals and the Far North (or for those who are officially employed in these areas), the payout ratio is increased due to regional indexation. The size of a lump sum at birth of a child in such a case can be 15% or even 40% higher than it should be.

Payments for the second kid

If the spouses become the parents of two children, they acquire not only unlimited happiness, but also the right to double payments. Under the law of the country, a separate allowance is assigned to each family for each child. Unfortunately, the size of a one-time payment for the second and subsequent child does not increase - it is all the same as in the previous case, 14,497.80 rubles.

However, in this case, parents still receive additional benefits: the state also provides for the allocation of maternity capital in order to increase the birth rate in the country. To receive this payment, it is necessary to issue the corresponding certificate in the Pension Fund. But if the lump sum allowance given by the state at the birth of two children is a certain amount that the family can spend at its discretion, then the maternity capital is a non-cash means. It is assumed that the parents have the right to spend these money resources on improving the living conditions of the baby (for example, to buy or build a house) or for his education in the future.

The more children, the better: a third child benefit

As in the case of the appearance of twins, spouses who have acquired a third child receive material payments of 14,497.80 rubles to care for them. A one-time benefit is provided by the state for each child born, and its size varies only due to indexation. The number of children in the family is not affected by the recalculation of the monetary amount.

A pleasant bonus is that, like a one-time benefit at the birth of 2 children, payments for a third kid can be supported by parent capital. In addition, the spouses have the opportunity to issue additional monthly subsidies. This payment can be received until the moment when the child is exactly 3 years old. But its design is available only in those regions of Russia, which differ in reduced fertility. In addition, they apply only to low-income families.

Who is entitled to a one-time benefit?

Any of the parents can apply for a monetary subsidy by contacting the place of their work. And the organization in which one of the spouses is designed as an employee, has no right to refuse him in this petition. Even if this happens, then there is no need to worry, since the budget allocates the FSS all the same.

As for non-working parents, they can also receive a lump-sum benefit that they receive upon the birth of their children. The payment is also extended to single mothers, and to students who are in the period of the appearance of the baby in daylight. If a woman who has gone to the decree does not have the opportunity to independently arrange material assistance, then it is her right to do so. It should be noted that the subsidy applies only to citizens of the Russian Federation.

Where to go?

As it was already specified earlier, the payment can be made by a working parent at the place of his employment. Persons who are in the military or contract service are entitled to apply for a lump sum allowance at the birth of the child in the organization where they are held. However, this is only possible if the father and mother are not divorced. Parents who are not married should understand that the procedure for processing documents for material assistance will be available only for the person with whom the child lives.

If a financial subsidy is planned to be received by one of the spouses, at a particular moment of time not working or consisting in the status of a student, then the process takes place in a somewhat different way. In this case, the application for a lump sum allowance at the birth of the child shall be submitted to the social protection body corresponding to the present place of residence of the family.

Required documents

Before you begin the process of registration of material assistance, you need to prepare a list of securities, without which you can not do. So, in a structure that can give a lump sum, you will be asked to provide the following documents:

• Certificate of birth of a child (or several children).
• A photocopy of the parent's passport, to which the subsidy is credited.
• Application for a lump sum payment.
• A certificate from the actual place of work of the parent or from the social protection body, confirming that this individual was not previously credited or issued a child benefit.
• Data on the father of the baby (for single mothers).

Application for benefits: sample

The request must be compulsorily written to every individual who plans to receive a lump sum at the time of the birth of the child. The application, the sample of which is presented below, must be correctly drawn up, and only then it will be accepted for consideration. In paper, you should indicate such information:

1. The name of the organization to which the mother or father applies.
2. FULL NAME. Applicant, corresponding to his passport data.
3. The status of the person who submits the application (mother, father, guardian).
4. Full passport data (by whom and when the document was issued, as well as the addresses of residence and actual residence).
5. Type of benefits.
6. The desired method of obtaining a material subsidy (in cash or through a card account).
7. Date of making up the application and signature.

Deadlines for submitting documents

It is very important to observe the correct timeframe to receive a lump sum at the birth of the child. Documents for registration of a monetary payment can be provided to the appropriate authorities literally from the very moment of the birth of the baby. However, this does not mean that to receive subsidies from parents there is an unlimited period of time. The application for its registration must be filed within six months from the birth of a child or children in the family. After that, the possibility of receiving a payment is canceled.

How quickly is the allowance calculated?

The subsidy is appointed only after the positive decision of the relevant body is taken. In case of refusal, parents receive an alert within 5 days and receive back all previously submitted documents. If the request of an individual is approved, a one-time benefit at the birth of children is paid by his employer in about a week. The accrual period can be up to 10 days. As for the bodies of social protection of the population, they are obliged to make a payment no later than the 26th of the next month.

Payments to unemployed and students

If in the classical case the easiest way to get a subsidy for a child is to write a statement at the place of employment, then those who do not have this opportunity should contact the nearest social protection authority. This category includes non-working individuals, as well as full-time students.

They must be provided with the same documents as for working citizens (birth certificate of the baby, one copy of the mother's or father's passport and a certificate that the payment was not previously provided). Students can ask for a paper from the dean's office, confirming their status at the school. From non-working citizens, most likely, you will need data about the previous place of employment and a diploma (certificate) about getting an education.

Registration of benefits for adoption of a child

The law of the Russian Federation states that when a newborn is transferred to a family, the guardian or adoptive parent of the child has the right to receive timely material assistance. The amount of this cash payment for the adoptive parents is the same as the amount of a lump sum at the birth of the child, that is, it is 14,497.80 rubles. If an individual accepts several children for upbringing, then it can receive a subsidy for each of them. It is worth noting that payments are to be paid to the guardian only if the newborn is completely without parental care.

When submitting an application for the preparation of an allowance, the adoptive parent must prepare a standard list of papers, as well as attach to it a document confirming the fact of the legal transfer of the child for upbringing to this individual. Otherwise, the procedure for calculating the subsidy does not differ from the standard process performed for the baby's blood parents.

If a child was born in another country

There are situations when the mother is a Russian citizen, and the child is born in another state. Then there is a problem with the design of the relevant documentation. In order for parents to receive a lump sum payment at the time of the birth of the child, they are required to submit the necessary papers to the nearest social protection body or place of employment. One of the required documents - a certificate from the registry office, confirming the registration of the birth of a baby.

The birth certificate must be received by the mother or father in the territory of the foreign state of which the child is a citizen. After that, this document must be translated into Russian by authorized bodies and stamped with a stamp. When applying for benefits by parents, this security must be presented in two copies.

The father of the child is a foreigner

If one of the parents (in this case, the father) expressed his desire to stay with foreign citizenship, then a one-time benefit for the birth of children in the territory of the Russian Federation is not supposed to him. In this case, the mother can claim a subsidy. But again, by law, this right is available only if she is a citizen of the Russian Federation.

When submitting an application, the mother must submit to the social protection authority data on the employment of the newborn's father, as well as a certificate stating that he did not receive this benefit before. However, if a foreign citizen is not registered and has never worked in the Russian Federation, it is impossible to obtain such documents. In this case, photocopies of the father's passport will be enough, as well as an explanatory note of the mother, signed by the signature. If there are other documents available that prove the fact that the subsidy is not received, this will increase the chances that one-time benefits will be paid at the time of the birth of the child. A sample of the explanatory note and the application will be provided to you in the FSS.

It should be noted that these rules apply only to unregistered marriages. If the mother who is a citizen of the Russian Federation and her father, a foreign citizen, are official spouses, it will not be possible to receive material benefits in this way.

Other types of payments

In some regions, additional material resources can be added to one-off subsidies. For example, in Moscow, at the birth of the first child, in addition to fixed capital, 14,497.80 rubles. The spouses receive an additional 5,500 rubles. Also in this region there is a special program to support young families. If the father and mother are younger than 30 years, then they receive material assistance equal to five subsistence minimums. The additional one-time benefit at the birth of the second child is seven indicated units. And if the spouses have a third and subsequent children, then they claim a subsidy of ten subsistence minimums.

One-off payments of the state to the child is a capital that is not subject to any commission deductions and taxation. It can be received by every family in which the baby has appeared, provided timely filing of documents.
