Legislative framework of the Maternity Capital program

Maternity capital is regulated by Art. 3 Federal Law dated December 29, 2006 (as amended on August 2, 2019), which sets out the conditions for obtaining this right. According to the law, male persons who are one parent when adopting a second and subsequent children can also claim a subsidy. But, like women, this right can only be used once.

In cases of loss of parental rights or after the cancellation of adoption, state financial assistance will not be provided. However, if the mother dies and loses her parental rights, the right passes to the child (or equally between the children).

Ask me a question

It is important to know that the use of subsidies is allowed only 3 years after the birth of the 2nd or subsequent children.

When did this program start? What has changed today?

The family capital program dates back to 2007 and is valid until this year. Indexation was carried out annually until 2020, however, it was by decree of the President due to the difficult situation in Russia. Therefore, in the current year 2020, the subsidy in monetary equivalent corresponds to 2020 and amounts to 466,617 rubles.

How maternity capital changed from 2007 to 2020

Who can receive maternity capital in 2020

According to the above-mentioned law, all grounds for receiving maternity capital are available to the mother, father (in the case of a single representative) or adoptive parent and children.

Mother

A priori, assistance from the state is provided to mothers, but certain conditions must be met:

• birth (including adoption) of the 2nd child from 01/01/2007
• the appearance (or adoption) of future children (starting from the third), but in cases where the certificate was not received earlier.
• Mother and child are required to be citizens of the Russian Federation.

Capital may in some cases (loss of parental rights or death of the mother) be transferred to the father.

Father or adoptive parent

Not everyone knows that male representatives - the father/adoptive parent - can also claim a subsidy, but the stepfather is not entitled to such benefits. Registration and confirmation of these rights is lengthy and labor-intensive and requires the provision of documents such as:

• Medical report on the death of the mother;
• a court decision establishing the fact of the wife’s death (or loss of parental rights);

Also, in cases where the mother commits an act that encroaches on the health of the child, it is necessary to submit the appropriate court document.

Children

Sometimes cases arise when children receive the right due to certain circumstances when both parents are absent. In this case, age restrictions are put forward: children who have not reached 18 years of age or those who have reached 23 years of age, but subject to full-time study at an educational institution, will receive it. If there are several children, the certificate is divided into equal parts.

Maternity capital for the first child

In order to increase the population in the country, starting from 2020, payments are being made (monthly) to families who have one child (Federal Law No. 418-FZ). However, the amount of the benefit is not fixed and is determined by the minimum wage (for each region individually). Benefits will be provided in the amount of one and a half minimum wages until the child reaches one and a half years of age.

To find out the total amount of payments, simply add up the accruals for 18 months. An important point for many is the absence of requirements indicating the reporting of benefit expenses. Do not forget that the presented changes were made last year, which means that families in which the child was born since 01/01/2018 will be able to receive such state support.

Amount of maternity capital payment for the first child in 2020

It is important to understand that the size of the minimum wage in different regions of the Russian Federation is very variable due to various reasons (for example, the cost of goods and services). In 2020, the average monthly payment amount was approximately ten and a half thousand rubles. In 2020, the subsidy amount increased to 10,800 rubles with an increase in the minimum wage. When calculated for a year and a half, the total amount of subsidies is about 190 thousand rubles.

Hotline numbers for questions regarding the use of maternity (family) capital funds

At the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the end of 2017, a number of federal laws were adopted aimed at improving the demographic situation and supporting motherhood and childhood. In particular, we are talking about Federal Law No. 418-FZ of December 28, 2020 “On monthly payments to families with children.”

Families in which, starting in 2018, a second child will be born (or adopted) can apply for a payment from maternal (family) capital (MSC). Families permanently residing in the territory of the Russian Federation have the right to receive a monthly cash payment if the child and mother are citizens of the Russian Federation. Families whose average per capita income does not exceed 1.5 times the subsistence level of the working-age population in 2020, established in the region, are entitled to receive payments. The monthly payment in the Tambov region is 8,634 rubles.

To provide a complete package of information on the use of MSK funds, certificate holders can contact hotlines created in the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund of the Tambov Region.

One could often hear that when a third child appears in a family, one and a half million rubles are paid, but this is absolutely not true. But don’t be upset, because this particular project, associated with such an amount, is already in development. In the meantime, for 2020 the amount of the subsidy is 466,617 rubles.

How to use maternal capital for children’s education

An application for the disposal of MSC funds for the education of children and other expenses associated with obtaining an education, which is accepted by the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, can be canceled at the request of the citizen who received the certificate. To do this, it is necessary to submit an application to cancel a previously submitted application for the disposal of MSC funds for the education of children. Such an application can be submitted personally or through a representative. The said application for cancellation must be submitted before the territorial body of the Pension Fund transfers funds (part of the funds) of maternity capital in accordance with the application for disposal.

It happens that a child (children) is expelled before the expiration of the contract for the provision of paid educational services, as well as in connection with the death of the child. In this case, the owner of the certificate must submit to the territorial body of the Russian Pension Fund an application for refusal to send funds (indicating the reason for the refusal). The application is accompanied by an administrative act (its certified copy) on expulsion from the organization or a death certificate of the child (a court decision declaring him dead (recognized as missing). The application is considered within 5 days from the date of filing the application for refusal to send MSC funds for education.

Also, the transfer of maternity capital funds for the education of a child (children) may be suspended in connection with the provision of academic leave to the student. To do this, the holder of the MSK certificate must send to the territorial body of the Russian Pension Fund an application for refusal to send funds and attach a copy of the order to grant the student academic leave, certified by the organization. To resume the transfer of funds, it is necessary to submit an application for the disposal of funds, to which is attached a copy of the order for the student’s admission to the educational process.

In these cases, or in the event of termination of the rental agreement for residential premises in a hostel and (or) the agreement between the organization and the certificate holder, if the amount of funds transferred to the organization’s account in accordance with the agreement exceeds the amount of actual expenses, the unused funds must be returned by the organization to the territorial body Pension Fund of Russia.

What can you spend mat capital on?

The areas of use of funds for the subsidy have been preserved since 2007 and include 4 main areas: housing, education and upbringing, rehabilitation for children with disabilities and a pension for the mother. The choice of goal remains up to the citizen himself, and as statistics show, a large number of people use subsidies for major repairs or the purchase of a home.

Apartment, house

Continuing the topic of living space, it is important to mention that the program, in addition to the acquisition and improvement of housing, also provides for the repayment of mortgage interest on existing housing.

To implement a subsidy in the form of purchasing an apartment, there are certain conditions:

• the living space must be located on the territory of the Russian Federation;
• the transaction can take place in any form that does not contradict the law;
• fill out the application correctly, indicating the purpose and amount of costs;
• privatization of apartment ownership should take place taking into account the interests of children, in addition, shares should be allocated.

In cases of building a house, the program also provides subsidies. When rebuilding a house on your own without the participation of any contractors, the Pension Fund transfers funds to the certificate holder, but in parts. The first payment will be 50% and only after the construction of the main frame the remaining 50% .

According to the law, you cannot purchase an empty plot of land, since this is not included in the list of improving housing conditions.

In this regard, land acquisition is carried out at our own expense. But, the Pension Fund will be obliged to transfer funds after registering a house built on this site.

Mother's pension

The method of use is becoming popular in connection with pension reform and consists of compensating the mother for an unpaid period of childcare between the ages of 1.5 and 3 years. In addition, upon reaching retirement age, the payment amount will be increased. The positive aspect is the possibility of changing the decision towards other methods. To do this, you only need to send funds to one of the selected areas. In cases where a woman does not live to retirement age, the right to use subsidies passes to the children and father.

Education

The certificate can be used for the education of all children in the family, the only restriction will be age - up to 23 years. This opportunity involves studying on the territory of Russia and the institution must have state accreditation.

Education in the broad sense of the word in this program also involves paying for private tutors registered with the tax service.

Rehabilitation for a disabled child

Rehabilitation involves reimbursement of funds spent on necessary goods and services. In this case, you must contact social security to obtain an act confirming the expenses.

Other uses of mat capital

Certificate holders, in accordance with Art. 7 of Law No. 256 have the right to use the certificate to pay utility bills, purchase furniture, items necessary for children with disabilities to adapt to the conditions of society, and also receive monthly payments from the maternity capital fund.

Maternity capital: who is entitled to it, how to get it, what to spend it on

02 October 2020 13:58

The PFR branch for Moscow and the Moscow region reminds that Russian families in which a second child was born or adopted since 2007 have the right to maternal (family) capital (as well as the third, fourth and any subsequent child, if before that the right to maternity capital did not arise or was not registered).
Families that have had their first child since January 1, 2020 are also entitled to maternity capital. For families that have had a second child since 2020, maternity capital is additionally increased by 150 thousand rubles.

Amount of maternal (family) capital:

In 2020, proactive registration of a certificate for maternity capital was implemented - now it is issued automatically. Information about the family receiving maternity capital is sent to the personal account of the certificate owner on the website of the Pension Fund of Russia or the government services portal. A family can manage maternity capital without applying for a certificate.

Let us remind you that you can manage maternity capital funds for:

• improvement of living conditions;
• children's education;
• mother's funded pension;
• on social adaptation and integration into society of disabled children.

You can also arrange a monthly payment from maternity capital funds. Detailed information for each area is available on the Pension Fund website in the section “For MSC recipients”.

Useful information about the rules for handling maternity capital:

• maternity capital is indexed by the state, changing its size does not entail a replacement of the certificate;
• the period for applying to the Pension Fund for issuing a certificate for maternity capital after the birth or adoption of a child is not limited;
• maternal (family) capital is exempt from personal income tax;
• the certificate is valid only upon presentation of an identification document;
• The validity of the certificate is terminated in the event of the death of the owner, deprivation of his parental rights in relation to a child, in connection with whose birth or adoption the right to receive maternity capital arose, or the commission of a deliberate crime against his child (children), related to crimes against the person, as well as in case of cancellation of the adoption of a child, in connection with whose adoption the right to maternity capital arose, or in connection with the use of maternal (family) capital funds in full;
• in case of loss of the certificate, you can obtain a duplicate;
• Maternity capital funds can only be received by bank transfer. Any schemes for cashing out these funds are illegal. At the same time, the owner of a certificate for maternity capital, who agrees to take part in cash-out schemes, commits an illegal act and can be recognized as an accomplice to a crime based on the misuse of public funds.

What is regional maternity capital?

Regional family capital assumes the size established at the regional level. The purpose of this subsidy is to support and stimulate large families in which a third or subsequent children were born. Funding comes from the regional budget. There is one more difference from the state program: indexing is carried out taking into account inflation. Indexation is carried out even if there is an incomplete subsidy amount.

Where it works

The regional maternity capital program operates in most regions of the Russian Federation and is regulated by the annually updated regional law. Examples include the Moscow, Ulyanovsk, Kirov regions, Krasnoyarsk and Kamchatka territories and many others.

How and for what to apply

The conditions for receiving regional capital are the same, but the place of residence of the parents must be the region of residence. To receive a subsidy, you must receive a personal certificate issued from the moment of birth/adoption of the 3rd child. Together with the application and certificate, you should send it to the authorized body. Regional subsidies are issued one-time.
