Allowances and benefits for the third child and maternity capital in 2020, 2019-2021

Differences in payments between the first, second and third child

All basic federal payments for the third child are similar to those for the second child. The amounts and conditions for processing and receiving payments are the same. Federal payments are prescribed by the legislation of the Russian Federation and are paid from the federal budget, regardless of your region of residence. There are also regional payments, individual in each region.

Families with three children, starting from 2013, are entitled to a targeted payment for a child under 3 years of age if they live in a region with a low birth rate. Targeting means that the benefit is not assigned to all families, but only to those that fall under the conditions of payment, for example, the average per capita family income is below the subsistence level. We'll talk more about this below.

Maternity capital for 3 children in 2018: changes, latest news

Maternity capital is paid for 3 children in some regions of Russia. This is the regional level of fertility support. In order to receive the money you are entitled to, you need to move to a permanent place of residence if you do not live in this region.

In general, the amount of maternity capital for 3 children in 2020 is about 150 thousand rubles. The largest amount of maternity capital for 3 children is provided to families in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug).

It is especially important that maternity capital for 3 children does not replace maternity capital for 2 children, but is added to it. That is, if a woman gives birth to a second child, then she will be entitled to maternity capital in the amount of 453 thousand rubles in 2020. If she gives birth to another third child, then she will be entitled to another 350 thousand rubles if the child is born in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

By the way, read: benefits for large families in 2020

Let's take a closer look at the table where maternity capital is paid in Russia.

Types of payments and benefits

Benefits for 3 children, as well as for the first and second, are divided into monthly and one-time. Part is due only to working people, while other payments are assigned to everyone without exception. Those with many children are also given additional targeted payments, especially if they are low-income.

By the way, in some regions benefits are increased by the regional coefficient, most often these are cities in the north, for example, Salekhard with a coefficient of 1.8 or Nadym with a coefficient of 1.7.

With the help of these coefficients, benefits for registration in the antenatal clinic (LC), benefits for Birth and Labor and a one-time benefit for the birth of a child will be increased.

Example

The BIR allowance in 2020 is the same in all regions of Russia - 17,479 rubles. If the family lives in Nadym, then this benefit will be increased by a factor of 1.7.

17479 * 1.7 = 29714 rubles - this amount will be received by the family at the birth of the baby.

Regional features of the program

Federal assistance is issued one-time, at the birth of the second baby. If a third baby appears in the family, you can receive financial regional support. Financing and the amount of assistance depends on the desire of local authorities to increase the birth rate. In the Sverdlovsk region, families with 3 dependents are entitled to a one-time payment of 100 thousand rubles. Residents of St. Petersburg can receive social assistance. Its value is indexed, and by 2020 it will be 148 thousand rubles.

Muscovites who have a son or daughter by 2020 cannot receive regional maternity capital. The program was discontinued in 2020. Moscow residents are provided with other compensation subsidies, which are divided into one-time, regular and monthly, depending on the status of the family applying for regional assistance. Citizens with 3 children can receive “Luzhkov” payments from the capital government. The amount of monetary support in 2020 is identical to 10 subsistence minimums, or 173 thousand rubles.

One-time payments and benefits for the third child

Lump sum payments, as the name implies, are paid to families only once, while some of them are due during the woman’s pregnancy, and some only after the birth of the child.

It is important not to miss deadlines and arrange payments at your place of work or social security, because no one will return benefits retroactively.

One-time payment for those registered in the early stages of pregnancy

The payment for registering a pregnant woman with a housing complex up to 12 weeks is not that big. In 2020 it is equal to 655 rubles. More often, this payment is processed immediately with the BiR allowance, so it is more convenient to submit the entire package of documents once and receive all the money at once.

To process the payment you will need:

• passport;
• statement;
• certificate of incapacity for work issued by the housing complex.

All these papers are submitted to the accounting department at work or to the Social Insurance Fund.

Benefit for a third child under 3 years of age

In addition to all of the above, the geography of payments of benefits and maternity capital at the birth of a third child has expanded significantly. If earlier it was about 50 cities and regions, now the program extends to 60 regions of Russia. The list includes those regions where, on average, two or fewer children are born per family.

It should be noted that each region of the Russian Federation itself sets the conditions and requirements for those citizens who can receive benefits for a third child. As a rule, large families with not very large incomes, not exceeding an average of 15,000 rubles per family member, can count on this benefit. If your income is less than the designated amount per person and you have a third baby, then you can fully count on this benefit until your baby turns 3 years old.

As for the amount of the benefit, it is also set by each region separately, but on average it will be equal to the cost of living per child in your region. In other words, the amount of the benefit for the third child will be approximately equal to the average figure of 10,500 rubles per month, which, of course, is a good help for a young family, and this money will definitely not be superfluous.

Monthly payments and benefits for the third child

Monthly payments for the third child are paid according to the standard scheme, the same as for the first and second.

Child care allowance up to 1.5 years old

The state undertakes to pay monthly benefits for up to 1.5 years per child, regardless of what kind of child it is and whether its parents are working or unemployed. This is a guaranteed payment.

But the amount of the payment will be different, because the unemployed are entitled to a minimum benefit, but for those working it is calculated based on the average salary for the previous 2 years, from which 40% is taken.

The amount of the minimum benefit for the second, third and subsequent children in 2020 is 6,554 rubles. Full-time students will also receive the same payment if they apply for it.

In addition to the minimum, there is also a maximum value - the amount exceeding which workers will not be paid benefits - 26,152 rubles.

We looked at an example of a detailed calculation of benefits for workers in the article about payments for the first child.

An important point: you need to apply for benefits no later than six months after the child turns 1.5 years old.

Working people register benefits in the accounting department at their jobs, students in their universities, and the unemployed in social security.

The benefit is assigned within 10 days, and you can expect payment only next month, no later than the 26th.

Please note: the right to apply for this benefit is not only for the mother and father of the child, but also for any family member who will actually care for the baby.

Monthly allowance for child care up to 3 years old

The benefit for up to 3 years is a formal payment of 50 rubles, for which few people apply. The benefit amount was established back in 1994 and for some reason has not been indexed since then.

True, soon they plan to finally bring this benefit into line with today's needs of families. At the next government meeting, Dmitry Medvedev proposed to sort out this issue within a year and set the amount of the benefit equal to at least the care allowance for up to 1.5 years per child.

Maternity capital in 2020 for 3 children is 1.5 million rubles.

A couple of years ago, a bill was sent to the State Duma of the Russian Federation for consideration, in which it was proposed to pay maternity capital for 3 children in the amount of 1.5 million rubles.

You will not be able to use this money at your own discretion, but it can be spent on improving your living conditions and purchasing an apartment.

For now, this bill remains a bill. There are chances that the bill will be adopted and come into force. But for now, maternity capital for 3 children is paid exclusively at the regional level in some areas, which you could see in the table above.

Classic maternity capital , which in 2018 amounts to 453 thousand rubles and is provided for the birth or adoption of a second child, is assistance from the federal state. Federal - this means the certificate is available to families in any corner of the country. Regional maternity capital, unlike federal capital, can only be obtained in a certain region, where local authorities allocate funds to support the birth rate.

Additional benefits and allowances

The state has a special attitude towards large families; they are supported at both the federal and regional levels. These measures help stimulate the birth rate, which has only been declining in recent years.

Payments and benefits for single mothers

The state does not provide any special individual payments to single mothers, but at the regional level they can receive additional support if the budget allows.

Example

In Moscow, single mothers are paid for any child: first, second, third, etc. monthly allowance. Children under 3 years old are entitled to 15,000 rubles, children from 3 to 18 years old - 6,000 rubles.

Basically, in the regions, single mothers are given some kind of benefits for the purchase of medicines, school supplies, and groceries necessary for the child.

An important point: a woman must present a document confirming her single status to receive benefits. To do this, you need to take a certificate from the registry office, form No. 25.

Benefits and benefits for a disabled child

Disabled children are entitled to additional payments, and the amount of payments does not depend in any way on the order of birth of the child. It's the same with benefits. You can find a complete list of payments and how to receive them in our article on payments for the first child.

Regional and gubernatorial payments

Each subject himself determines, based on his capabilities, what additional benefits to assign to families. The conditions for receiving payments may vary: in some places it is necessary that the family live for a certain number of years in the territory of the subject, in others benefits are assigned only to low-income families or young families under 30 years of age.

Example

In Chelyabinsk, local maternity capital in the amount of 61,455 rubles is provided for the third child. Parents and their children must permanently reside in the Chelyabinsk region to receive this maternity capital.

In Moscow, for 3 children, regional authorities pay an additional 10 subsistence minimums per capita (16,087) - 160,870 rubles.

You can find out about possible benefits for a third child in your region from social security or the MFC.

Benefits for the birth of a third child

There is a list of benefits that are available to families where a 3rd child was born:

• 50% discount on utility bills;
• priority admission of children to kindergarten;
• free entry to exhibitions and museums;
• free education in state art, sports, and music schools;
• free textbooks;
• free meals for schoolchildren;
• free trips to sanatoriums and health camps for children;
• increase in parental leave by 5 days;
• education at a paid university with a 50% discount;
• free medications prescribed by a doctor.

In each region, you need to clarify the list of social security benefits.

Obtaining a land plot

A large family can receive a plot of land measuring 15 acres.

Land is issued once and only if there are three minor children in the family and there are no other land plots in the property.

The state formally leases land for a period of 10 years. During this time, you need to have time to build a house on the site and put it into operation. Every year you will have to pay 0.3% of the cost of the plot for rent. Naturally, the plot cannot be sold until the ownership rights are transferred to the family after the house is put into operation.

Each region itself solves the problem of issuing plots to large families; in fact, they are issuing land far outside the city, where there is no infrastructure, so few people are interested in such a benefit.

Those who decide to receive free land need to follow the following algorithm:

1. Select a site from those available for large families (you can look at the list in the local thematic newspaper or find out from the local administration).
2. Collect the necessary documents (passports, birth certificates of children, marriage certificates, if necessary, income certificates).
3. Submit an application to the local administration.
4. Obtain permission from the administration for further actions with the site.
5. Conduct topographic survey and land surveying at your own expense.
6. Register the plot of land and sign a lease agreement for 10 years.
7. Build a house and put it into operation.

Only after all these points will it finally be possible to obtain a certificate of ownership.
