An employee hired under an employment contract, who is to be replenished in the family, is entitled to three main benefits, which in most cases she receives through the employer: for pregnancy and childbirth, upon the birth of a child and subsequent care for him up to one and a half years. But there is also an additional amount, which, I must say, is not always paid. The very fact of the appointment of such benefits depends on when exactly the woman reported her pregnancy to the antenatal clinic. It would seem that the right to social payments should not intersect with organizational issues of this kind, but, nevertheless, such are the norms of the law. This article will discuss the benefits paid when registering in the early stages of pregnancy.

How to get early pregnancy benefits

When registering in the early stages of pregnancy, a woman can apply for benefits if she applied to the antenatal clinic before 12 weeks of pregnancy. In this case, the sick leave, which she will be given at 30 weeks, will be marked accordingly. She will give the right to this payment, which the company where the woman works under an employment contract will be obliged to make. In this sense, the allowance is no different from other payments related to the birth of a child. In the future, the employer will compensate them at the expense of the FSS: either simply reduce the current deductions by the appropriate amount, or submit documents to the social insurance to reimburse the benefits paid.

In some regions, direct payment of benefits directly from the FSS to individuals is provided. In such cases, the employer does not participate in the calculations, but is obliged to collect and prepare for submission to the territorial department of social insurance the documents necessary for calculating benefits.

Benefit payment procedure

As mentioned above, a note about early registration in the antenatal clinic is placed directly on the sick leave issued to the woman for the period of her maternity leave. This happens at 30 weeks of pregnancy or a little later. Delays can be associated mainly with bureaucratic issues that arise in the work of clinics or antenatal clinics.

However, problems due to such delays will not arise either for the woman in labor herself or for her employer. A woman has the right to apply for the payment of any of the maternity benefits within 6 months from the date of the occurrence of the relevant circumstance. In the case of the payment of benefits for pregnancy and childbirth, as well as benefits for early registration, this period is counted from the last day of the period of temporary disability prescribed on the sick leave.

But the amount of benefits for early pregnancy will depend, on the contrary, on the date of the start of the hospital period. The fact is that this allowance is indexed annually, and in recent years this has happened on February 1. So, from February 2016 to January 31, 2017, the allowance was 581.73 rubles. At the moment, its amount has been increased to 613.14 rubles.

Regardless of how the sick leave period intersects with this date, and when the registration with the LCD itself took place, the amount of a specific payment is determined on the date the maternity leave begins on the BIR.

Example

On February 2, 2017, an employee of Romashka LLC Ryazanova A.N. provided a sick leave in connection with pregnancy and childbirth, opened on December 25, 2016 for a period of 140 calendar days. This sick leave contains a corresponding record of registration in the early stages of pregnancy up to 12 weeks.

Until February 12, the employer, in addition to the basic amount of sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth, is obliged to pay benefits for registration in the early stages of pregnancy in the amount corresponding to the period in which the sick leave was opened, that is, in the amount of 581.73 rubles .

Regional indexation of benefits for early pregnancy

If a woman works in those regions of the country where district coefficients are established that increase salary payments, then such coefficients are also applied to the allowance paid in connection with early registration for pregnancy. Actually, in this case, the general rule applies: if the benefit paid is not related to the level of wages to which such indexation has already been applied, but is established, as, for example, in the case under consideration, by a fixed amount at the federal level, then the amount of the benefit must be indexed separately ( Article 5 of the Federal Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ).

A one-time allowance for early registration is one-time payment, relying on a medical organization for early pregnancy. for early registration is a fixed amount, which is indexed annually.

This type of material support is aimed at motivating pregnant women to register as early as possible in order to:

  • timely medical examination reduce health risks mothers;

In areas with special climatic conditions (in the Far North and equivalent regions) increasing regional coefficients which must be taken into account when assigning payments. This is regulated by Art. 5 of Law No. 81-FZ.
