The question of how and in what amount to pay benefits to low-income families in 2019 is still acute for state authorities at the federal and regional levels.

The number of families classified as poor is increasing every year.

Under these conditions, the government has chosen a new principle of providing assistance, relying on its targeting, which will make it possible to spend budget funds more efficiently and direct them to those who really need it.

Support for such families, including families with children, is becoming more selective. Experts note the ongoing departure from the principle of categorization in the issue of social support for needy families.

Which families can be recognized as poor in 2019?

In accordance with the current law “On the subsistence minimum in the Russian Federation” No. 134-FZ of October 24, 1997, the average per capita income of each member of a poor family cannot be lower than the subsistence minimum, which is established in the region of residence.

Citizens who believe that they can receive cash assistance must independently contact the social security department and document their right to receive assistance.

The formula for calculating total income is: ([total family income] / ) / [number of people in the family].

The following categories of families are supported by the state:

1. complete families with an average income below the minimum;
2. incomplete families without one parent;
3. large families (3 children or more).

The calculation period of 3 months is due to the fact that the level of the subsistence minimum in the region is determined once a quarter.

Which relatives can be included in the family?

According to the law, one family can be united:

• single spouses;
• spouses and native children;
• spouses and adopted, adopted or foster children;
• grandparents and grandchildren;
• stepfather (stepmother) and stepsons (stepdaughters);
• a citizen who has no close blood relatives.

If the social security authorities confirm the need of the family according to the established criteria, then the family is entitled to benefits and benefits established by law.

What documents do you need to collect in order to receive benefits?

The required package of documents for classifying a family as a low-income family includes:

1. documents proving the identity of family members (passports of parents and their copies, birth certificates of children under 14 years of age);
2. marriage/divorce registration document;
3. archival extract in the passport office from the house book on the family composition;
4. certificates of income of able-bodied family members for the past 3 months;
5. bank account information for transferring funds;
6. employment documents: work book or certificate from the employment center;
7. if necessary, a certificate of disability.

In what cases can a family not be recognized as poor?

Low total family income is the main, but not the only, criterion for determining families in need of social support.

A family cannot claim compensation if:

1. able-bodied parents do not work, are not on the labor exchange or abuse alcohol;
2. spouses live separately from each other, but are not divorced;
3. deliberately false information was provided to the social security authorities.

What social benefits are provided to low-income families?

Cash benefits to needy families can be divided into 4 types:

• social benefits for the poor;
• social scholarships;
• children's social benefits;
• allowances for large families;
• additional allowances and benefits.

1. Social benefits

The amount of monthly social benefits is set by the regional authorities and is linked to the subsistence minimum. In Moscow for the 4th quarter of 2017 it amounted to 15,092 rubles and 10,715 for pensioners.

2. Student benefits

The state also assumes the obligation of social benefits for students. Their minimum size is 730 rubles. per month.

To apply for a scholarship, a low-income citizen from the categories: disabled children, disabled groups I and II, orphans who have served military service or served from 3 months in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as persons exposed to radiation or received military injuries.

3. Child benefits

They are divided into the following categories depending on the age of the child:

• up to 1.5 years;
• up to 3 years of age;
• up to the age of 16;
• up to the age of 18.

The amount of compensation depends on the category. The amount of benefits up to 1.5 years in 2019 is equal to 40% of the average monthly salary.

The minimum amount for non-working parents for the first child is 4512 rubles. Assistance for a child under 3 years old is equal to the children's subsistence minimum for the region.

The amount of child benefits up to 16 years of age is established by the subject of the Federation and can be from several hundred to thousands of rubles.

Unfortunately, the permanent receipt of benefits requires its renewal every six months. Payment up to the age of 18 is possible if the child continues to study at school after the age of 16 and goes to grades 10 and 11.

4. Large families

Families with many children, depending on the region, can receive additional assistance in addition to one-time allowances for children, and can also apply for compensation for expenses on rent, housing and communal services, travel in transport and food for the child.

To send a first-grader from a large family to school, a one-time assistance is paid.

The state is also compensated for the monthly expenses for the purchase of stationery by the student.

If there are more than 10 children in the family, then it is possible to receive annual benefits for the Day of Knowledge in the amount of 15,000 rubles. and Family Day in the amount of 10,000 rubles. one-time assistance to send the child to school

5. Additional benefits and allowances

Low-income families may also receive additional benefits or benefits.

The state pays additionally to families in the event of the loss of a breadwinner for each child from a military family, accrues a mother's allowance for pregnancy and childbirth, provides benefits for medical care, and provides free access to cultural and entertainment institutions for children. Separately, other types of assistance may be provided by decision of the regional authorities.

Low-income citizens are citizens who have been recognized as such by local governments. When making such a decision and assigning the status, the income of each family member must be taken into account. The status of "low-income citizens" implies their right to take advantage of the benefits and allowances that the state provides them.

Who is eligible for indigent status?

When determining the status of a low-income family, not only the income of each family member is taken into account, although this is the most important moment for making a decision. The commission must make sure that the members of the family applying for the status of the poor live together and run a joint household.

In 2019, low-income families can be considered those that consist of spouses, their parents and children (relatives and / or adopted), grandparents, grandchildren and stepsons (stepdaughters), stepfathers and / or stepmothers, trustees (guardians) and their wards . First of all, the status of a low-income family is granted to those applicants who have disabled people and pensioners in their family.

Both childless families and a parent raising a child alone can apply for the status under consideration. But the law clearly states that couples living in a civil marriage (there is no official registration of marriage in the registry office) and those who are legally married but live in different territories cannot be recognized as low-income families.

Note:only a family that has fallen into a distress due to circumstances beyond its control can be recognized as poor. That is, those who parasitize, abuse alcohol and / or drugs (these facts must be officially confirmed), the status in question will not be assigned.

Types of assistance to low-income families in 2019

Assistance from the state for low-income families is not only cash payments, but also the issuance of food, subsidies for utility bills, and more.

Help for parents with the status of "low-income family"

It is worth paying attention to the fact that mandatory payments to parents from low-income families, as well as benefits for children, are provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation. But the specific amounts for each item must be found out in each specific region - the numbers will vary.

Help for parents and children from low-income families:

1. If a pregnant woman from a family with the status in question is registered with an antenatal clinic for up to 12 weeks, then she is entitled to a lump sum payment of 581 rubles (in Moscow this figure will be higher).
2. The maternity allowance for unemployed women from a low-income family will be 534 rubles per month. But it is only due if the pregnant woman was fired for the following reasons:

• the enterprise was officially liquidated;
• the organization / firm / enterprise where the woman worked was officially declared bankrupt;
• IP, issued by an individual, was closed.

1. When a child is born, a mother from a poor family receives a one-time allowance - it is credited to the woman's account. The amount of such a payment is variable - in Moscow, for example, this is an amount of 15,500 rubles.
2. If a pregnant woman is the wife of a serviceman, then in the third trimester of pregnancy she is entitled to a lump sum payment of 24,500 rubles.

1. Child under one and a half years old. One of the parents is paid monthly 40% of the average earnings. Such a payment cannot be less than 2,908 rubles for the first child and 5,817 rubles for the second and each subsequent child.

4. On the loss of a breadwinner for a military family. It amounts to 2,117 rubles and is paid monthly.
