What are the benefits to large families?

The state renders material support to families in which three or more children are raised, regardless of whether they are children or foster children. This support is expressed in the provision of benefits and the payment of cash benefits.

In Russia, benefits to large families are determined by Presidential Decree No. 431, signed in 1992. According to the document, the benefits are grouped into several categories.
