Governor's allowance for the birth of a child and other payments to young parents

The birth of a baby is always a holiday. In this case, parents have a huge number of new concerns, including material ones. The state supports young families by paying various kinds of benefits. Their size depends on what kind of account this child is in the family, what financial opportunities are available to parents, etc. In some regions, a governor's allowance is introduced at the time of the birth of the child, paid directly from the treasury of the subject of the federation.

So, what are the payments to the young family if they have a first or subsequent child?

Firstly, it is a one-time payment for the birth of a baby, which is received at the place of work or (if there is not one) in the bodies of social protection. The sum is indexed annually. For example, in January 2013, it was increased and is just over 13 thousand rubles. If two or more children appear at once in the family, then payment is given for each of them.

Secondly, before the child reaches the age of one and a half years, the mother (the other parent or the person who replaces it) can receive a monthly allowance at the place of work (it will be 40% of the average earnings) or in social protection. In the latter case, the size of the benefit is fixed. Periodically, the payment is indexed, the amount is usually set from January of the new year.

In addition, it is important to note the governor's benefits, the amount of which and the procedure for payment depends on the region in which the family lives. The coefficient of this amount is calculated separately, including the district allowances.

For example, in Moscow, parents who are not yet 30 years old are paid a governor's allowance for a child in the amount of several subsistence minimums (for the first child - five, for the second - seven, for subsequent children - ten). In the Altai Territory at the birth of children 50 thousand rubles are given, in addition, it is practiced to allocate a plot of land for large families.

In such a large city as St. Petersburg, the compensation payment for today is about 20 thousand. At the same time, the amount increases if the child is not the first in the family. The governor's allowance for the birth of a child in the Vladimir region is 100,000 rubles.

I must say that these payments are financed from the budget of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, so the amount can vary significantly depending on the region. So, in the Kuban, when a first-born is born, 1 thousand rubles is given. For the second child, the amount is increased by 2, and by the third - by 5 times.

The governor's allowance at the birth of a child, established in the Voronezh region, is fixed and amounts to 20,000, regardless of what kind of a child a child was born in the family. In Dagestan, payments are made to mothers who have had triplets. The amount of payments is fixed - 80 thousand rubles.

To get the governor's allowance at the birth of a child, you need to contact the social protection department directly at the place of residence. In this institution you can find out in more detail which documents will be needed for processing the payment. Workers of social protection will also help to clarify the amount of the benefit. Parents who work can receive money directly from the employer. Personnel department employees are required to notify the newly-minted mother (or father) about what papers they need to collect for this.
