Payments after childbirth: one-off allowance and maternity capital

The birth of the coveted child in the family is happiness, but too much is spent by the mother and father. Therefore, the state developed a number of benefits so that it would be easier for a young family to raise children. About this, what payments are put after childbirth, how they are calculated and whether there are additional benefits for families with several children, this article will tell.

When it's time for maternity leave

Payments after childbirth are entitled to receive women if they went on maternity leave from their official place of work, while having insurance experience, which dictates their conditions: compulsory social insurance.

If a woman did not have a job, then the payment of benefits after childbirth will be added to her as social security, but only at the minimum rate, which is calculated on the basis of the official minimum wage established at the time of the issuance of the decree. So it is established by the state.

When going on maternity leave, the expectant mother will certainly receive the payments due to her after childbirth from the employer. If she was on full-time education, or worked unofficially, she has the right to receive money from social protection, at the place of registration, or at the workplace of her husband (does not apply to all benefits).

Approximate figures

The size of the benefit is calculated on the basis of the number of days indicated in the sick leave sheet. Approximately the amount will be:

• If 140 days, at least 28 555 rubles;
• When the hospital is designed for 156 days - 31,818 rubles;
• Hospital 194-day - for 39 569 rubles.

An additional payment is possible

When a woman turns to a women's consultation on time to become a medical accountant for pregnancy, and the gestation period is not more than 12 weeks, she receives an additional reward, the amount of the allowance is 581 rubles (the amount is fixed from February 1). This amount is given to the woman by the employer. In order to avoid misunderstandings, before going on the decree it will be necessary to take a certificate-extract from the women's consultation, which will be required as the basis for payment of this amount.

Who pays?

The pregnancy allowance, as well as afterwards, and payments after childbirth can be obtained at the place of own work - the size of the first will be one hundred percent of wages. The employer is obliged to pay this allowance. It differs from others in that it can be obtained not only at the main place of work, but also where the pregnant woman worked before, but without taking into account the wages that were received in other enterprises.

Those who do not have a job can also receive such benefits if they were not dismissed by their own will, but because of a reduction in staff or liquidation of the enterprise. In this regard, they had to register at the employment center. Then this type of benefit will be paid to them by the social protection authorities.

Lump-sum payment after childbirth

The birth of a child will bring not only the joy of motherhood, but a one-time benefit. To date, this is a fixed amount of 15,512 rubles. The amount was set on February 1, 2016.

The amount of this payment will not be affected by either the established salary or the length of the length of service. You can get it from one of the parents. When more than one child is born in the family, the allowance is calculated for each child separately. This year, a lump sum allowance for a third child was 15,000 rubles. If one of the parents is left without a job, the other one will necessarily receive it from his employer. When both are non-working, you should contact the FSS authorities and receive the allowance there.

The number of maternity days is also important

Maternity leave is laid for every woman. Legislatively stipulated that there are several types of its terms, but in everyone is laid the obligatory payment of the allowance. The number of days in such maternity leave is calculated from the outcome of the ongoing pregnancy. Maternity leave may be:

• 140 days. When the child was born alone, the birth was without pathologies. In this case, the woman is laid before the birth of the child 70 days and after his birth, the same number.
• 156 days. When the birth was difficult, with complications, so the recovery of health will take much more time. In this case, the vacation is extended to 86 days, usually it is divided as follows: 84 days before childbirth and 72 - after, which in the end is 156 days.
• 194 days. When a family becomes more than 2, 3 or more children, maternity leave is granted for a longer period. Which is divided into 84 days before the birth of the baby, and the postpartum period will be 110 days.

All these days will necessarily be paid in the form of accrual of payment on maternity leave: one hundred percent earnings, which my mother had the last two years before leaving for the decree. Usually this amount is calculated by multiplying the average earnings by the number of days. But the amount of the benefit can not be lower than the minimum wage, and this year this figure is 6,204 rubles.

What other payments can a young mother expect after the birth?

While the baby is under 1.5 years of age, a monthly allowance will be allocated to him, which the woman gives birth. This amount is calculated as a percentage of the mother's salary until she went on maternity leave. But there are some restrictions: the amount can not be less than 2 909 rubles, when the first child was born, the size of the allowance at the birth of the second child - 5,817 rubles, the third - about 7000 rubles (the changes came into force in the summer of 2016).

The benefit before execution to the kid of one and a half years can depend on earnings of the parent, the sum is calculated as 40 percent from the established salary. According to regulatory documents, there are two types of counted sums - maximum and minimum. Allowances can also be summed up when the number of children is taken into account, which gives them the right to receive good benefits, but these amounts can not exceed the total salary.

On what payments can a woman count when the baby is already eighteen months old?

When the child turns 1.5 years old, no more payments are received, only a small compensation in the amount of 50 rubles, which is allocated by the employer, remains. But if there is a third child, the regional authorities can allocate the allowance before reaching the age of three, but it all depends on the level of subsistence in the given area. Who continues to be registered at work, he will receive a payment in the workplace, and non-working and university students will have to write an application to the FSS.

Capital is good. Especially if he is a mother

There is a law signed by the president, which provides for a special payment. This is a special program of maternity capital. This is a one-time assistance from the state (in the form of a certificate for spending on certain needed), accrued in addition to the allowance at the birth of a second child.

This state program should be in effect until the end of 2018, but, as planned earlier, this year it will not be indexed. And in the end, it will remain at the same level, the amount is 453 thousand rubles. But the government is assured that such a forced measure is of a one-time nature, since the federal budget currently requires filling. Soon it will be replenished with the necessary means, then in the next year the maternity capital should become higher by an average of six percent, and make about 480 thousand rubles. And a year later, grow up to 505 thousand rubles.

Usually such a privilege is given after the birth of the second child. In the event that this amount was not taken, the family is entitled to receive it after the birth of the third child. This money can be obtained only once, regardless of the number of children, so at birth, for example, triplets, the amount will not increase. To get this money, you need to apply with all the necessary documents to the Pension Fund.

Maternity capital can not be spent simply, it is issued so that the family can improve their housing conditions, make payments on mortgages or pay for the education of the child.

2016 is a difficult year for the country, and therefore the Government of the Russian Federation is forced to reduce expenditures that are taken from the state budget. That is why the family capital has not been indexed, and since this year a slightly different order of indexation has been established, which relate not only to child benefits, but also other social payments. Now they are different: they will be raised based on actual inflation, taking into account the past year, that is, not ahead of, but as if catching up with that level of inflation.

When the mother's birth will be paid benefits at the time of the birth of the child, then incomes for the previous two years will be taken into account, which will affect the maximum amount of payments, but only for women who have a job.

If the family has many children

When the third child is born, the state tries as much as possible to help the large family that has passed into the category. Monthly, in addition to the basic allowance, there is an additional one, which goes to the family, until the child is three years old.

Compensation for the birth of a child is the most common privilege. Its size differs in different places, but there are also payments that are disposable, produced by the bodies of social protection of the population. There you need to contact the parents of the child to know exactly what payments are due to them.

The third child in the family provides the right to have, until he is 6 years old:

• Free of charge medical preparations;
• Free ride on municipal transport.

The family has the right:

• Pay utility bills at a discount of 30 percent;
• Get a plot of land for housing;
• Pay tax on transport at a lower price.

In each region there may be individual benefits for a large family.

Conclusion

For payments after childbirth, every woman who gives birth can count. The size and location of their receipt depends on the length of service and the official place of employment at the time of maternity leave. But in addition to the calculated amounts, there is a fixed payment received by a young mother, it can be obtained from both her employer and her husband's employer.
