This support measure is addressed to young families. Young family in in this case is considered a registered union of spouses-citizens Russian Federation, each of whom was under 30 years of age at the time of the child’s birth. If the family is incomplete, then the only parent should also not have reached the age of thirty at the time of the birth of the baby. In addition, both parents must have permanent registration in Moscow. Temporary registration is not a basis for receiving benefits. If one of the parents is registered outside of Moscow (regardless of citizenship), then the second must be registered together with the child in Moscow. A single mother who has permanent registration in the capital also has the right to this type help. In the baby’s birth certificate, there must be a dash directly in the “father” column, or the entry of data about the father must be made from the words of the mother, which must be confirmed by the registry office.
Additional benefits are calculated regardless of how much income the family has, as well as whether it has received other federal and city payments. The right to this subsidy arises from the date of birth of the infant. Before you go to apply for benefits, do not forget to register your child at the registry office. By the way, it doesn’t matter whether he was born in the capital or another place. The fact is that a baby can be registered both at the place of birth and at the place of residence of one of the parents.
Attention, important information! You can apply for this payment before your child reaches 12 months of age. If the deadline is missed, then the chances of receiving funds are close to zero. This is only possible for good reasons:
- serious illness of the applicant or child for a period of more than 6 months;
- death or serious illness of a close relative;
- Moreover, other reasons recognized by the court respectful.
Each reason, of course, requires documentary evidence.
Documents that will be needed when applying for an additional one-time benefit:
- application (written at the place of application);
- passports of both parents;
- birth certificate of the child (the one for whom the benefit is issued);
- if parents are registered in different localities, then you need to prove that the child is registered in Moscow by providing the appropriate document.
If the benefit is issued for the second, third and subsequent children, then birth certificates of all children are provided. If there are children from previous marriages or born out of wedlock, then you need a certificate from their place of residence. To take into account the husband's children, you need to provide a marriage certificate with the mother of the child for whom the benefit is issued.
After submitting all documents, employees of the Moscow Department of Social Protection check the information provided and, if necessary, make requests to medical and educational institutions. The decision on appointment is made within 10 days. In case of refusal, the decision is sent to the applicant in writing stating the reasons. The refusal can be appealed to the Department itself or to the courts.
As you can see, the process of obtaining this subsidy is not very simple, it requires a certain discipline, self-organization and time investment, but the work is worth it.
What is the size of Luzhkov's payments in 2017?
The amount of this benefit is calculated in accordance with. Compared to the first half of 2016, the amount of payment has changed, but only slightly. For the first child, the subsidy amount will be 5 subsistence minimums, or, which is the same, 86,500 rubles. If the baby is the second, then the amount increases to 7 subsistence minimums, and, in turn, this is 121,100 rubles. In the event of the birth of a third and subsequent child, a young family (or a young parent) receives an allowance in the amount of 10 subsistence minimums, equal to 173,000 rubles.
Only one is issued per child additional allowance. If two or more children are born at the same time, then the amount indicated above is paid for each of them. A separate subtlety is taking into account children born (adopted) before the birth of the child for whom the benefit is issued. This is done for correct definition sequence. If the mother has children from previous marriages or illegitimate (adopted), then they are taken into account when calculating the subsidy, but subject to living in this family. The spouse's children, as well as children adopted by him, are also taken into account, but they must live in the spouse's current family. In addition, the marriage of the spouses must be registered before the birth of the baby for whom the benefit is issued.
After all formalities have been completed, the funds are transferred to the applicant’s account. There are two enumeration options:
- savings book of Sberbank of the Russian Federation;
- Bank of Moscow account (“Moskvich card”).
It's no secret that the birth of a child brings not only great happiness to the family, but also additional expenses. As a rule, parents try to plan everything in advance and not miss anything, especially if they have their first child.
There are still a few months left before the birth, and especially responsible mothers and fathers are already making lists with all their might. necessary for the baby things, making repairs in the nursery, looking at cribs and strollers in stores, and so on.
Naturally, such pleasant chores should only evoke positive emotions, but only if you have the money to buy children’s goods and accessories that are now far from cheap. Even with the most economical approach, the required amount is several tens of thousands of rubles, which cannot but be frustrating.
The following items are considered mandatory for purchase:
- winter, summer and demi-season strollers (the latter can be excluded if the first two are suitable for use, for example, in cool spring and rainy autumn);
- a comfortable crib that promotes restful sleep in comfortable conditions;
- special children's mattress (preferably orthopedic);
- a car cradle, if you have a car and plan to at least occasionally carry your baby in it;
- winter clothes. Nowadays, various overalls are very popular. They are especially relevant if the child was born in the cold season;
- a large number of small items for everyday use, ranging from pacifiers to various devices for creating a comfortable and practical environment in the children's room, kitchen, etc.;
- necessary things for mothers, for example, a postpartum bandage or cream for smoothing out wrinkles.
This is where the state can come to the rescue. The so-called “Luzhkov” payments at the birth of a child are a cash benefit that is paid to the parents of the baby in a lump sum.
Naturally, due to the collapse of the Russian economy, as well as rising prices for food and consumer goods, such payments cannot be called large. But nevertheless, they can provide some support to families with small children and cover at least part of the necessary expenses.
How and where to receive benefits in 2018?
Just as now, in 2018 there will be two options for receiving benefits for the birth of a child.
First option: registration and accrual of financial assistance by working parents must be made no later than six months after the birth of the baby. This is due to the fact that the certificate issued at the maternity hospital has legal force for only six months.
Most likely, such strict deadlines are set in order to further encourage new fathers and mothers to fill out documents for receiving cash benefits as soon as possible, which will allow the relevant government bodies and employers to have positive statistics, as well as to keep accounting records correctly.
Second option: if the parents did not have official employment before the birth of the child, then they can contact the social security authorities. It should be noted that in 2018, the amount of “Luzhkov” payments will not be tied to any specific salary received or not received by parents. As, however, this is done now, and was established earlier.
The accrual and payment of funds rests entirely with the state, and not with the employer. Therefore, there is practically no difference between the first and second options for parents and their child, except for the addressee for submitting documents.
Amount of financial assistance for the birth of a child in 2018
This is probably the most important question that begins to interest many pregnant mothers, as well as future fathers, long before the significant event. After all, family budget planning often depends on the answer received, both during the preparatory period and immediately after childbirth.
The Russian government promises to increase the amount to 16,350 rubles in 2018.
The amount of payments is set before the beginning of the reporting year and does not change until its end. The size of the benefit depends on the current capabilities of the Russian budget, but the figure cannot be less than last year.
In addition, you need to know that financial assistance is accrued for each future member of society, so the lucky owners of twins or triplets have the right to count on double or triple its amount, respectively.
What documents does an employer need?
In order to correctly and timely accrue Luzhkov payments in 2018, the employer must provide a certain package of documents. As a rule, they can be quickly assembled without special labor. It includes:
- child's birth certificate;
- a certificate issued at the maternity hospital (do not forget that in six months its validity expires);
- a statement personally written and signed by the employee;
- a certificate issued by the human resources department at the place of work of the second parent (if there is one officially), which states that similar accruals were not made there.
As you can see, everything is quite simple. The personal presence of the young mother is not required when submitting the application. It can be drawn up and signed in the comfort of your home. Then you can simply hand over the paper to the employer, or he will pick it up himself at a pre-agreed time.
But mommy will have to come to the social security department herself. Naturally, this is a big minus, but these are the rules. There is a positive aspect though. If before giving birth the mother did not work anywhere, it means that she did not receive maternity payments according to sick leave. Therefore, she can claim their compensation, which will also be a good help for the young family.
By the way, the accruals are made by social insurance, not by the employer. But they are calculated taking into account the employee’s salary for the last two years.
In accordance with Article 14 of the Moscow City Law of January 28, 2004 N 4 “On Youth”, in order to social support young families and improving the demographic situation in the city decides:
