Social support for families: allowance for lactating mothers and other benefits

When a child appears in the family, in addition to pleasant troubles and problems of care and education, parents have questions about the payments they receive, because any support from the state and benefits to mothers can help, and are unlikely to be superfluous, especially for young families.

After the woman has received the grant on pregnancy and sorts, to it payment on care of the child till one and a half years is appointed. This amount is fixed, and in the event that the mother worked before that, she makes up 40% of the salary (mean earnings for a certain period are taken). If not, then the allowance is paid in social protection agencies, and today it is just over 2,000 rubles for the first child, and slightly more than 4,000 for the second and subsequent. Each year this amount is indexed and increased.

Not everyone knows that a benefit is also meant for breastfeeding mothers. The fact that natural feeding is the most rational diet for a child has long been confirmed by many doctors. To stimulate this, as well as ensure the full nutrition of women during this period, and this payment was appointed. It should be noted that in different regions of Russia it varies. Thus, in the Penza region, 550 rubles are paid, 150 rubles are paid in the Kuban, a one-time payment of 1,150 rubles is given in Perm, some regions issue such special vitaminized mixtures to dummies in such dairy kitchens.

What documents must be provided and how long is the allowance paid to nursing mothers? First, the most detailed information will be given in social protection at the place of residence (or residence permit), where the money will be credited. But most often, in addition to the birth certificate of the child, their own identity documents, provide a certificate from the pediatrician that the child receives breastfeeding. Usually this type of food for a baby lasts about a year, so the allowance will be paid the same amount of time. But more and more women believe that breastfeeding should last as long as possible, at least up to two or three years. In this case, the allowance for nursing mothers is much more difficult to obtain, but it is quite possible, providing the relevant certificates and evidence.

The fact is that, as such, the age limits of this payment are not indicated, but in some cases, officials rely on a scientific basis, saying that the woman who milk is the main type of nutrition of the child is considered to be breastfeeding, and this continues until the child's fulfillment of the year .

Knowing that there is a benefit for breastfeeding mothers, some people may forget about paying for a full meal of the baby, which is supposed from the beginning of complementary feeding (4 months) and up to 3 years. This payment is common in those regions where, for some reason, dairy kitchens have been closed, which previously gave part of the food to infants.

Special privileges are enjoyed by single mothers, but this status should be given to women formally. After all, not every mother who alone brings up a child can have it. For this, the baby must be born out of wedlock or after a certain time after his dissolution, and in the "father" column there should be a dash or a note made at the direction of the woman. In this case, it is assumed before the child reaches 16 years of age, a monthly payment of 40% of earnings or a fixed minimum rate (for unemployed) paid in social security. At the same time, each region has its own support measures for this group of parents, so the amount of allowance for single mothers may vary depending on the place of residence.

Thus, when a child is born, parents have social assistance from the state that they can accept. At the same time to help learn about payments and benefits will help employees of social protection agencies or the accounting department of the company where one of the parents works.
