What is the compensation for failing to place a place in kindergarten: the law, the amount and recommendations

Most recently, all parents had the right to compensation for the costs of preschool general education. The conditions for such payments are regulated by the law "On Education". From the cost of the services of a kindergarten, in which a child goes, and the number of children in the family, the amount of compensation may depend.

The child can be taken to the state kindergarten from one and a half years. It is at this time that the state allowance is no longer charged, and many mothers are trying to go to work. Recently, the problem with kindergartens in many regions is being resolved in a positive way. New or old buildings of pre-school establishments are being built. In most cities since the summer begin to take the kids into the younger groups. For visits to any pre-school educational institution, their parents have to pay for their children. For some categories of citizens there is a possibility of free stay in kindergarten. These include children left without parental care, parents with disabilities, orphans.

Although the problem with kindergartens is being solved, not in all regions, parents manage to arrange their children in preschool institutions from 1.5 years, even with certain benefits. Is there any compensation for the failure to place a place in the garden?

This question can not be answered unambiguously. Since at the moment in some regions compensation for the failure to place a place in the kindergarten for parents of babies is paid, but in others there is not. Why is this happening and how to design this manual?

Providing compensation for the lack of places in kindergartens

A lot of families around the country do not get the opportunity to give the child to a kindergarten. And this means that mothers have to stay on holidays. They can not go to work and receive the salary, which is so necessary for keeping the baby. This situation, among other things, also contradicts the main document of the country - the Constitution, on the pages of which access to Russian citizens of preschool education is guaranteed.

Is there a law on the provision of a place in a kindergarten?

Compensation is interesting to many, therefore about 15 years ago, changes were prepared that provided for the payment of payments to families whose children did not have enough places in kindergarten. It was assumed that these innovations will come into force from the beginning of 2012. However, despite the urgency of the issue and its severity, such an initiative was not supported and refused to include in the country's legislation, namely, in the Federal Law "On Education".

Thus, at the federal level today the issue has not been resolved. But compensation to families who did not manage to attach a child to a preschool institution is still paid in some regions of our country. After all, the lack of legislative consolidation of such benefits at the federal level does not prevent the authorities of the regions from making such payments.

How does it work in the regions?

There is no uniform practice for making payments, individual schemes are applied for each subject of the country.

In a number of regions where compensation is not provided for not providing a place in kindergarten, payments are made for children between the ages of one and a half to six years. In some municipalities, for example, in Lipetsk, parents have the right to receive compensation at the age of three years. In Samara, such payments are provided for parents who have children between the ages of one and a half to three years.

In some districts, compensation for not providing a place in kindergarten does not depend on the child's age, i.e. A fixed amount is allocated for both a baby of two years and a five-year-old child. However, in some cities there is a gradation. For example, in Perm, while a child at the age from one and a half to three years, one amount (about 5300 rubles) is paid, and at the age of three to six - another (about 5000 rubles).

Do all families have the right to receive such a payment from the state?

Many parents are worried about the issue not only about the fact that compensation is not provided for not providing a place in kindergarten, but also about who has the right to it. Even if the region pays such a grant, it is not always easy to get it. There is one more feature of providing compensation for the lack of places in kindergartens: the responsible department has the right to refuse to pay compensation to those families who have income that exceeds the subsistence level (meaning the income for each individual member of the family). Specific figures are also different for different subjects of the country. To obtain up-to-date information, it is best to contact the relevant regional office.

If approved, this allowance will be paid not only to mothers who are fully committed to raising their children by refusing to work, but also to women who are officially on maternity leave, as well as by correspondence students who receive education.

Where to apply for compensation?

In order to find out what compensation is required for not providing a place in kindergarten and what is the procedure for obtaining it, it is necessary to apply to the social protection authorities (in some municipalities, to other organizations).

What documents do I need to submit to receive payment?

You need to take the following papers with you:

• Copies and originals of identity documents of both parents (or legal representatives);
• A copy and the original of the document on the marriage (in case the parents are divorced, the copy and the original of the certificate of divorce at the time of the appeal);
• Birth certificates of children (copies and originals);
• An extract about the composition of the family (a similar document can be obtained at the passport office at the place of registration);
• A certificate confirming that the child is in the queue for enrolling in a kindergarten;
• A document confirming the refusal to admit a child to a pre-school institution;
• Certificate of maternity leave (certified by the employer xerocopies of the work record book);
• Bank account data for the transfer of compensation;
• Petition for payment of compensation;
• Medical policies of mother and child, as well as SNILS.

In some cases, this list of documents may vary. It is necessary to specify which certificates and certificates should be additionally submitted in the appropriate department.

If you do not like kindergarten?

It should also pay attention to the fact that if a child is offered a place in a kindergarten, which is located in another part of the city, and it is quite problematic to reach his parents, then, most likely, the receipt of compensation will be refused. After all, in fact a place in the preschool institution is allocated.

What to do if the regional department does not provide information?

If, when applying to the social protection authorities, it was not possible to clarify the situation as to whether compensation is set for failing to provide a place for a child in state gardens, or if the employees of the department have no idea what benefits they are talking about, then they will have to apply to higher authorities. Namely, the Ministry of Education. In this department, parents should be informed about whether there is an appropriate order to pay compensation.

The current situation of compensation payments

According to the information received, a number of regions of our country have fixed in the legislation such an item as payment of benefits to families that do not have the opportunity to attach a child to the kindergarten. There is no official list of entities that practice such payment. To date, compensation for failure to place a place in kindergarten is paid in the Perm region, YaNAO, Kirov and other regions. Average payments for these entities are about five thousand rubles. Parents whose children have reached the age of eighteen years have the right to receive compensation.

In what cases does the payment of benefits cease?

Termination of monthly payments can occur for the following reasons.

The child has reached the age at which the state provides compensation (it does not matter whether it was possible to find a place in the kindergarten at the time of this period).

The place in the kindergarten is received, the child is enrolled in the organization.

Can parents expect to receive compensation after they receive a place in kindergarten?

This year, the right to receive compensation can count those legal representatives who pay for the child's visit to the kindergarten. The receipt of such a benefit is regulated at the level of the municipality, as well as its size is determined. To clarify all the details, you should contact the social protection body.

According to the changes in the tax code, which came into force at the beginning of this year, the tax will no longer be withheld from the compensation amount (13%). Another "bonus" that parents received from 01/01/2016 is the opportunity to submit documents for obtaining a benefit directly to the bookkeeping department of a pre-school institution (previously the entire package of documents should be submitted to the social protection authorities).

Conclusion

Officially, only in a dozen regions of our country, compensation is provided at the state level for not providing a place in the kindergarten, which is paid to one of the parents (or legal representatives). However, this does not mean that there is no such problem in other areas. Most likely, the authorities have more important issues on the agenda, or the problem is not acute enough.

According to the statements of state officials, by the end of this year it is planned to solve the problems arising in connection with the shortage of places in pre-school educational organizations. How this will be implemented (the construction of new kindergartens or in other ways) is unknown. Perhaps next year there will be no question as to whether compensation is set for failing to place a place in kindergarten, and all babies will be given the opportunity to attend pre-school institutions from 1.5 years.
