When is the lump sum maternity benefit paid? How to calculate the amount of a one-time maternity benefit. All about maternity benefits: when and who pays, what is the maximum and minimum amount
Benefits for pregnant women and mothers
The maximum amount of the maternity benefit in 2019 is 417,232 rubles (for the birth of two or more children). The minimum size is 51919 rubles. Payments of benefits for pregnancy and childbirth are made on the next day after the appointment of the payment of salaries.
In addition to the benefits listed in Federal Law No. 81-FZ “On State Benefits to Citizens with Children”, there are support for families with children.
The following persons are entitled to the maternity allowance:
Maternity leave has a duration of 140 calendar days for uncomplicated singleton pregnancies, 156 calendar days for complicated births and 194 calendar days for the birth of two or more children.
The maternity benefit is calculated and paid in total for the entire vacation, regardless of the number of days actually used before childbirth. If you continue to work while on maternity leave, the amount of the benefit does not decrease.

For working women who are subject to compulsory social insurance, the maternity allowance is set at 100% of average earnings. Earnings are calculated for the two calendar years preceding the year of maternity leave.
When calculating the maternity benefit in 2019, income for 2017 and 2018 is taken into account.
According to Article 14 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ and in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees, no more than a certain amount can be taken into account for each year. So for 2017 you can take into account no more than 755,000 rubles, and for 2018 you can take into account no more than 815,000 rubles.
Thus, for women going on maternity leave in 2019, the amount of maternity benefit for 140 days cannot be more than 301,095 rubles, for 156 days with complicated childbirth - no more than 335,506 rubles and for 194 days of sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth at the birth of twins or triplets - no more than 417,232 rubles.
At the same time, the maximum amount of benefits for pregnancy and childbirth does not depend on regional coefficients. Both in Moscow and beyond the Arctic Circle, the maximum allowance is the same.
A woman with an insurance period of less than six months is paid a maternity benefit in the amount of the minimum wage (SMIC) for each month of vacation. From January 1, 2019, the minimum wage is 11,280 rubles per month. The length of service includes all periods during which the employee was subject to compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood.
If the insured person works for several employers, income from all employers is taken into account, but benefits are paid either at one of the last places of work, or at each place of work, look for your option in the article "". If a worker wants to receive full benefits in one place, she needs to bring income statements from other employers for a two-year period and a certificate stating that these employers did not receive benefits.
The maternity benefit is assigned by the employer (employers) within 10 days after the submission of all documents, and is paid on the next salary payment day after the appointment.
If the employer cannot pay maternity benefits (there is no money in the account), the benefit is paid by the territorial body of the insurer (see the name of the insurance company on your CHI policy).
Documents for the calculation of benefits for pregnancy and childbirth
- certificate of incapacity for work;
- leave application;
- certificate of the amount of earnings from another place of work, if there were such in the previous two years;
- application for replacement of billing periods, if required.
Allowance for those dismissed due to the liquidation of the organization
From February 1, 2019, maternity benefits for those dismissed due to the liquidation of organizations are set at 655 rubles 49 kopecks per month and paid by the social protection authority (USZN). To do this, it is necessary to register with the employment center within 12 months from the date of dismissal and submit the following documents to the social security authorities:
- application for the appointment of benefits for pregnancy and childbirth;
- certificate of incapacity for work;
- an extract from the work book about the last place of work, certified in the prescribed manner;
- a certificate from the state employment service of the population on the recognition of the unemployed.
If a woman applies for benefits to the social protection authority not at the place of residence (place of permanent residence), but at the place of actual stay, it is also necessary to provide a certificate from the USZN at the place of residence stating that the benefit was not assigned.
Allowance for full-time students
A woman studying full-time is entitled to a maternity allowance, regardless of whether she is studying on a paid or free basis.
Students receive an allowance at the place of study in the amount of a scholarship (for each month of disability). Accrual and payment is made within 10 days after the submission of documents.
To receive benefits, you must submit an application and a certificate from a medical organization.
One-time allowance for women registered with medical organizations in the early stages of pregnancy
Women registered before the twelfth week of pregnancy are entitled to a one-time allowance in addition to the allowance for pregnancy and childbirth.
The one-time allowance for women registered with medical organizations in the early stages of pregnancy from February 1, 2019 is 655 rubles 49 kopecks.

The following women are entitled to the maternity allowance:
- subject to compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood;
- dismissed in connection with the termination of activities by their employer within 12 months preceding the day they were recognized as unemployed;
- receiving full-time primary, secondary or higher vocational education;
- performing military service under a contract, serving in internal affairs bodies, in the State Fire Service, in institutions and bodies of the penitentiary system, in bodies for controlling the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, in customs bodies.
You can also claim the allowance in the event of the adoption of a child or children (Article 6 of the Federal Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ ""; hereinafter - the law on benefits to citizens with children).
When Can I Get Maternity Benefit?
The allowance is paid for the period of maternity leave of duration:
- before childbirth - 70 days (for multiple pregnancy - 84);
- after childbirth - 70 days (in case of complicated childbirth - 86, with the birth of two or more children - 110).
From July 1, 2017, medical organizations have the right, at the patient's choice and with his written consent, to issue a sick leave in the form of an electronic document signed by the attending physician and the medical institution using an enhanced qualified electronic signature (Federal Law No. 86-FZ of May 1, 2017).
Maternity leave is calculated in total and is granted to the woman in full, regardless of the number of days actually used before childbirth. That is, if the birth occurred earlier than the expected date, then the unused days of prenatal leave are not deducted ().
It is important to know that if a woman is entitled to maternity leave, but does not take maternity leave (that is, she continues to work), she will not be paid maternity benefits during her work period ().
When a child (children) under the age of three months is adopted, the maternity allowance is paid for the period from the date of its adoption until the expiration of 70 calendar days from the date of the child's birth. With the simultaneous adoption of two or more children, this period increases to 110 days ().
The benefit is assigned if the application was followed no later than six months from the date of the end of the maternity leave ().
The amount of the maternity benefit
The amount of this allowance is calculated based on the average earnings for two calendar years. This amount is divided by the total number of calendar days of these two years, with the exception of days when the employee was on sick leave, on maternity or parental leave, or was released from work while maintaining a salary for which insurance premiums were not charged (periods annual paid leave and leave at their own expense are not excluded from the calculation of calendar days) (Article 14 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ "").
That is, if maternity leave began in 2017, the maximum daily wage is 1901.4 rubles, and the minimum is 256.44 rubles.
After that, the amount of the benefit is determined: the average daily earnings for two years (or the minimum or maximum if the employee's salary did not fit into this framework) is multiplied by 100% and once again multiplied by the number of vacation days. Recall that its duration is 70 (in case of multiple pregnancy - 84) calendar days before delivery and 70 (in case of complicated birth - 86, with the birth of two or more children - 110) after ().
EXAMPLE
A woman who went on maternity leave in 2017 earned 670 thousand rubles during 2016, and 590 thousand rubles during 2015. For two years, she was on sick leave for a total of 19 days, there were no other periods not included in the calculation.
The total earnings for two years amounted to 1,260,000 rubles. It must be divided by the number of calendar days of these years (730), with the exception of those that are not taken into account in the calculation (19):
1,260,000 / (730 - 19) = 1,752.4 rubles
This amount does not exceed the maximum amount (1901.4 rubles), so it can be used in further calculations.
Finally, we will determine the total amount of the benefit. Assume that the pregnancy was singleton, and the birth was uneventful - the woman will be granted leave 70 days before and 70 days after the birth (140 days in total). With this in mind, the amount of the benefit will be:
1752.4 rubles x 100% x 140 = 245,336 rubles.
Let us consider for which categories of citizens the average earnings for the purposes of calculating benefits are equal to the federal one on the date the maternity leave begins - we recall that from July 1, 2017, the minimum earnings are 7.8 thousand rubles. ().
These categories of citizens include lawyers, individual entrepreneurs, members of peasant (farm) households, notaries and other persons engaged in private practice, as well as members of tribal communities of indigenous peoples of the North. They are not required to transfer contributions to the FSS of Russia, but they can do it voluntarily. Only in this case, such citizens are entitled to claim benefits (, Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ "On Compulsory Social Insurance in Case of Temporary Disability and in Connection with Motherhood",).
A fixed amount of benefits is established for certain categories of citizens. So, dismissed in connection with the termination of activities by the employer - 613.14 rubles. from February 1, 2017 (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 28, 2016 No. 42 ""). Full-time students - in the amount of a scholarship. Passing military or law enforcement service - in the amount of monetary allowance ().
Upon learning of pregnancy, a woman changes: she takes on a mysterious look and begins to mentally prepare for a meeting with a baby. The expectant mother should be “savvy” in all matters and be aware of what support she can receive from the state while carrying a baby and then giving birth to him.
What is maternity benefit
Payment for pregnant women and women who have given birth is one of the options for providing citizens with compulsory social insurance. Such assistance is designed for young mothers who are registered when carrying a baby and who have already given birth to him.
Maternity allowance is a type of insurance coverage
Who can apply for maternity benefit
Unlike the child care allowance, only a newly-born mother can apply for such a payment.. Apply for benefits if you belong to the following categories of women:
- working;
- unemployed;
- undergoing contract military service;
- undergoing full-time training;
- adopting a child and belonging to the above categories.
All payments to pregnant women and women who gave birth, assigned in 2018
In 2018, every pregnant woman or woman who has given birth can apply for the following options for benefits:
- on pregnancy and childbirth;
- at the birth of a child;
- for registration in the antenatal clinic at an early stage of pregnancy, provided for up to 12 weeks:
- caring for a baby up to one and a half and up to three years;
- maternal capital.
The expectant mother has the right to benefits for pregnancy and childbirth, for the birth of a child, for registering with a antenatal clinic at an early stage of pregnancy, etc. Table: how much a pregnant or giving birth woman can receive in 2018

Table: schedule for processing benefits for a future mother and child
If the allowance was granted before February 1 and paid at a fixed rate, then the amount will be indexed from the beginning of February 2018.
Child benefits are tax-free and you will receive them as promised.
Payments to future and real mothers are accrued only for the time of vacation provided during the bearing and birth of the baby. That is, if a woman refuses the prescribed vacation and continues her activities, then she will have to refuse benefits. The employer does not have the right to offer a woman both a salary and an allowance. Therefore, for the days of work, the woman will receive the salary due, and if she suddenly decides to formalize the right to leave, the employer will stop paying wages and begin to accrue benefits. This is done at the place of work, service or other activity. If the organization was liquidated and the woman was fired from her place of work, then she has the right to issue a payment in the local social security.
If a woman has combined two positions and has worked in the same company for the past two years, then theoretically she can receive twice the amount of benefits. The exceptions are cases when earnings from the main job are more than earnings from the additional job by 2 times.
Benefits are issued after the provision of a maternity sick leave, which is issued in a antenatal clinic or in a maternity hospital after the baby is born. Further, the employer and the FSS (who does not know - the social insurance fund) perform mutual offsets, usually against insurance premiums that require payment. Thus, funds for benefits are still paid from the FSS piggy bank.
The application of a pregnant woman or a young mother is registered, and the first money will be credited on the day of the next salary to a card issued by the organization where the woman worked. If you applied to the FSS for receiving benefits, then the payment may be charged a little longer: a ten-day review will be required, and the funds themselves will be credited to the account before the 26th day of the month following the month of application. That is, you can get money in a month with a small “tail”. In this case, the payment is credited to a bank card or sent by postal order.
Payment for women who registered early when carrying a baby
If you went to a gynecologist and he registered you up to twelve weeks of pregnancy, then you can apply for additional social assistance. In 2018, the payment increased and now stands at 628.46 rubles. This money is paid at the expense of the FSS. In the first case, a woman must bring a certificate from a gynecologist about registration to the accounting department at work. This form of payment is not available to unemployed mothers.
For women registered in the early stages of pregnancy (up to 12 weeks), a benefit in the amount of 628.46 rubles is provided Leave for pregnant women and women who have given birth
This measure of assistance in Russia is valid during the following periods:
- in case of normal childbirth - for 70 calendar days before childbirth, and for the same period after them (total - 140 days);
- in complicated childbirth - 70 calendar days before delivery, and 86 days after it (total - 156 days);
- with multiple gestation - 84 days before delivery and 110 days after it (total - 194 days).
Maternity leave begins from the moment the sick leave was issued. When carrying one baby, a certificate is issued at the thirtieth week, and in case of multiple pregnancy, this period is shifted forward by two weeks, that is, it is issued at the twenty-eighth week of bearing the baby.
Premature birth or their delay is not a reason to change the vacation time. In case of difficult childbirth, another disability sheet is drawn up and an application for additional rest is made.
You can apply for a leave in connection with the bearing and subsequent birth of a baby by providing the following documents to the employer or immediately to the FSS:
- identification;
- application addressed to the employer;
- sick leave issued for the entire period of disability;
- certificate of registration in the antenatal clinic in the first stages of pregnancy (if any);
- income statement for the last year;
- card or account number for transferring benefits.
Maternity leave starts from the moment the sick leave is issued Read more about maternity leave in our article -.
Benefit Calculation
Thanks to this example, you can easily calculate the due amount. Of course, there are exceptions everywhere: if something does not match, check this issue with the personnel department, and everything will become clear to you.
If you have already been on parental leave, the amount will be less As you can see, the number of sick days is multiplied by the average daily earnings of a woman. It can be determined by the salary of the previous two calendar years. If during this period a woman changed her job, then the new boss should receive information about previous employment. For this, a certificate of the amount of average earnings is provided, which is issued upon dismissal. The general procedure for calculating payments remains the same, but there are minimum and maximum thresholds. The maximum amount of payments is determined in accordance with the maximum value of the base for calculating insurance premiums in the FSS.
Replacement of years when calculating benefits for pregnant women and women who have given birth
When calculating average earnings for calculating benefits for pregnant women and women who have given birth, it is possible to replace the previous two calendar years with the previous ones. This is possible and is done if the employee has been on maternity or parental leave for one or two previous years. According to the law, the accounting years are replaced if the amount of the benefit is greater.
Excluded periods when calculating benefits for pregnant women and women who have given birth
Exclusion periods are used to calculate maternity and childcare benefits. The amount of salary accrued for the billing period is divided by default into 730 days. But the following periods should not be included in the calculation:
- time for pregnancy and childbirth, baby care;
- period of temporary disability;
- the period of release of the employee from work with the preservation of earnings, if insurance premiums of the FSS were not accrued on him for the time under consideration.
If there are such periods, they calculate their total value in days and subtract it from 730. Then another (smaller) number is obtained, by which, when calculating the payment, the amount of salary accrued for the billing period will be divided.
When calculating average earnings for calculating benefits for pregnant women and women who have given birth, it is possible to replace the previous two calendar years with the previous ones If the entire biennium consists of excluded time, then the nearest 3 months of work to it are taken for calculation, where there are days worked.
The calculator on the FSS website will help determine the calculation formula.
One-time allowance at the birth of a child
When a child is born in 2018, a family with any number of children receives a one-time payment of 16,759.09 rubles. You can be sure that you will receive it regardless of whether you work or not. For working citizens, benefits are issued at the place of work, but the unemployed will have to contact the local FSS. Single parents receive a payment on simplified terms, because they do not need a certificate from the place of work of the second parent stating that he has not previously received this money. In addition, each city has established additional measures to support parents. For example, in many regions, an additional one-time allowance is issued by the family when a second and subsequent children are born.
Allowance for a child up to one and a half years
Any parent of a child can receive such a measure of support. For payment, the average monthly income for the last 2 years is taken into account: 40% of this amount is paid every month. Unemployed parents can also apply for a payment, but it will be minimal, and you can apply for it at the FSS at your place of residence.
To pay benefits for a child under 1.5 years old, the average monthly earnings for the last 2 years are taken into account: 40% of this amount is paid monthly I know from my own experience that officially unemployed mothers in Kaluga are expected to receive a monthly payment of about 6,000–7,000 rubles. If a third or subsequent child was born in your family, then you can also apply for an allowance of 9,300 rubles - it is also called "mother's salary." I received such payments for my daughter in 2017, but now they may have increased by 50-100 rubles.
Compensation of 50 rubles for the period of maternity leave to care for a child up to 3 years
From birth until the child reaches the age of three, such compensation is paid. They are entitled to:
- parents on parental leave;
- employed mothers;
- adoptive parents, guardians;
- female students;
- mothers dismissed in connection with the liquidation of the organization;
- individual entrepreneurs.
Payments are made at the expense of the employer and are included in the FSS account. The benefit can also be obtained through the employer by submitting an application. Students apply to the rector of the university, military personnel need to submit a report to their superiors, and an individual entrepreneur must contact the FSS. Documents required for grant application:
- birth certificate of the child;
- employment history;
- certificate of non-receipt of benefits by the father;
- identity card of the person applying for the allowance.
Copies are provided for each of these documents. The application is written within six months from the moment the baby is one and a half years old.
The allowance for a child under 3 years old is paid from the budget and included in the FSS account Regional child allowance
The regions also pay additional, regional benefits for a child from one and a half to 3 years (keep in mind that the start and end dates for payment vary and are set at the regional level, usually this is a period from one and a half to 16 years). However, women whose family income is below the subsistence level established in the region are eligible to receive them. The regional allowance can be different and is set in accordance with the capabilities of a particular region. In the past few years, such payments have decreased or become smaller, due to the crisis situation in the country. To find out what payments you are entitled to, contact your local social security office: here they will advise you and tell you what documents will be required to apply for benefits.
I live in Kaluga, now my daughter is two years old without a ponytail. In our region, cash payments for the first and second child up to three years old amount to 4,000–5,000 rubles a month. If you have a third child (like mine), then you will receive 9,300 rubles. However, you will have the opportunity to choose between the first and second payments, since you are entitled to both of them, but you can issue only one. Yes, I forgot to add: I am a non-working mother, so I can’t say anything about payments for mothers of other categories.
Until the child reaches the age of three, the allowance can be received by the mother or father at the place of work. The parent must attach to the application for payment a certificate stating that his spouse did not receive this allowance.
Payments in 2018 for the second baby
In some regions, there is a program of governor's payments, thanks to which the amount increases. With the birth of a second baby, you get the right to register maternity capital, which will be discussed below (see the section "maternity capital"). The lump-sum allowance at the birth of a child remains the same for both the first and subsequent births (see the relevant section) . Payments up to one and a half years for the second child are the same as for the first. Only the governor's payments may differ slightly when compared with the first and second pregnancies. But in each region they are different, and in recent years some of them have been canceled.
Maternal capital
At the birth of a second baby, parents have the right to issue maternity capital. For 2018, its amount is 453,026 rubles. Maternal capital can be issued immediately after the birth of the second child, but in order to realize it, you will have to be a little patient.
Maternity capital in the amount of 435,026 rubles is issued at the birth of a second child Who is eligible for payments
The following categories of citizens of the Russian Federation can apply for mother capital, regardless of their address of residence:
- women who gave birth or adopted a baby since January 1, 2007;
- women who have given birth or adopted a third child since January 1, 2007, who have not previously received maternity capital;
- male adopters of the second, third and subsequent children who have not previously issued a mother capital (the court decision on adoption must enter into force earlier than January 1, 2007).
Taxes on maternity capital
According to the law, taxes should not be levied on mother capital, however, in the Arkhangelsk region, local authorities nevertheless decided to introduce it. If in your case a tax deduction is made from the mother capital, then you must contact the tax authority and ask for a refund. But before that, you still need to study information about taxation in your region.
In my city (Kaluga) taxes are not levied on mother capital. In addition, for several years in a row, during the crisis years, it was allowed to withdraw funds from mother capital. At first it was 12,000 rubles for 2 years in a row, and the last time they gave out 20,000 and 25,000 rubles. I issued this money quickly: I simply came to the pension fund with a minimum of documents and received payments within two months (in fact, they came earlier).
How can maternity capital be used
The funds received can be used for the following needs:
- improving housing conditions (add funds to buy a house or apartment);
- child's education (pre-school, school or further);
- formation of a funded pension for the mother of the child;
- receiving a monthly payment at the birth of a second child.
Matkapital funds, with the exception of monthly payments, are not handed out. The amount does not have to be used in one direction: it can be divided into different needs.
I have not yet used the mother capital, but my friends received this money to build a house. First, the state allocated them the first amount (half of the mother's capital), and when the walls and roof were erected, my friends received the rest of the money to continue construction.
Food allowance: special additional allowance (clause 3, article 52 of the law of November 21, 2011 No. 323-FZ)
If your child is under three years old, then you can apply for food in kind (including through food outlets and retail outlets), or in the form of monthly compensation for various categories of citizens:
- expectant mothers for the entire period of bearing a baby, starting from the twelfth week of pregnancy (in this case, the woman must be registered in the antenatal clinic);
- lactating women for 6 months from the date of birth of the child;
- child until the age of three.
A young mother can apply for food allowance for a baby until he reaches the age of three In Kaluga, 2 years ago, prescriptions for free baby food provided to babies under three years old, which we received in the dairy kitchen, were canceled. Then the mothers staged a real strike, after which the administration decided to introduce monetary compensation. Now it is paid monthly, but it is issued once a year: we bring checks that indicate the purchase of fermented milk products, and we are paid for the amount spent (up to 1 thousand rubles per month). Of course, there are some nuances here: checks that have a different list of purchases, as well as crumpled checks, are not considered. And about compensation for food for pregnant and lactating women: we have completely canceled these measures since 2016, and earlier money was paid in the amount of 800 rubles (for food for pregnant women) and 300 rubles (for nursing mothers).
Conditions for granting food allowance
In addition to the conditions described above (see the food allowance paragraph), in order to receive a payment, you must:
- permanently reside in the territory of the region in which the payment is made;
- provide documents that the expectant mother or the woman who has given birth does not receive good nutrition (for this you need to contact the social protection authority at the place of residence and find out what kind of papers are required in the region where the woman lives).
Mom does not have to apply for social security on her own to receive food benefits: relatives can do this for her
Sample Application
This is the application you need to fill out and submit to your region at the place of residence. In some areas, social protection workers use their own forms, so be prepared for the fact that you have to rewrite the application.
The sample application may differ in different regions: this should be clarified with the local social protection authority Payments at the birth of the third and subsequent children
The same benefits are paid for the third and subsequent children as for the first and second child, with the exception of the regional monthly payment up to the age of three of the baby and maternity capital (if it was not received earlier). In addition, a family with three children is considered to have many children. This category of citizens of the Russian Federation needs to be registered, which will allow you to qualify for a number of benefits and services as state support:
- Targeted social assistance. Documents for its provision and the amount of payments depend on the specific region.
- Order of Parental Glory: given to parents with seven or more children living in a family (the seventh child must reach the age of three). Upon its issuance, parents are awarded the amount of 100,000 rubles.
- Discounts on payment of municipal and state services.
- The right to increase parents' income by eliminating workplace taxes.
- The right to use real estate and transport without taxation.
- Assistance in the construction of housing for parents with many children in the form of subsidies, loans and interest-free subsidies.
- Benefits that allow you to increase the amount of future pensions.
- The right to grant land.
- Possibility of free travel in public transport.
- The possibility of free visits to children's camps and recreation centers.
For all these measures, there is no specific presidential decree, so they are individually considered at the regional level.
In Kaluga, at the birth of the fourth baby, an additional support measure is provided: 600 rubles for each child every month until the eldest reaches 14 years of age. Subsidies for reimbursement of interest after payment of utilities can be received by officially working parents. I don’t know how it is now, but 3 years ago, low-income families with many children could get free meals for schoolchildren. It is easier for children living in a large family in our region to get to kindergarten, as they are accepted out of turn. In addition, my friends say that they pay less for kindergarten than mothers and fathers who do not have many children. It's a pity, of course, but 2 years ago in our region New Year's gifts for children living in a large family were canceled. And one more thing: according to my friend, before the start of the school year, low-income families recognized as having many children can get satchels in social security, and 3 years ago stationery was also issued here.
Terms of receipt
The family must receive the status of having many children, for which parents apply to the social protection authority at their place of residence. Parents, or one of them, must be citizens of Russia, and also provide approximately the following documents to social protection (their list must be specified in each region):
- ID cards of both parents;
- their marriage certificate;
- birth certificates of all children;
- work books or certificates of income from places of work;
- account number to which payments will be made.
All of the above documents must be accompanied by photocopies.
If there are three or more children in the family, then the parents must obtain the status of large families in the local social security authority Table: calculation of payments in 2018 to non-working young mothers

Video: what payments are provided for pregnant women and women who have given birth in Russia since 2018
Pregnancy and childbirth are wonderful periods in a woman's life. And even more beautiful is that it is accompanied by support from the state, which is provided to families with one child, and parents with many children, as well as working and non-working citizens of the Russian Federation.
This issue is very relevant, and occupies the thoughts of a future young mother along with worries about acquiring the necessary baby things. This article will help you understand the timing of such payments and learn about the features of state social support for motherhood and childhood.
So, when is maternity pay paid, before childbirth or after? Legislators answer this question unequivocally: they pay maternity leave before childbirth. And not just before childbirth, but adhering to the established rules.
How maternity leave is paid
Before giving birth, the expectant mother will have to register with a doctor, and if she does this in the early stages (before 12 weeks of pregnancy), then, on the basis of a certificate issued by a medical institution, she will receive at her place of work the first incentive benefit for pregnancy and childbirth, amounting from 01.02 .2017 RUB 613.14 This is a fixed payment, and its size is periodically indexed, as reported in legislative acts.
If sick leave is extended
It happens that after the birth, the need to extend the release from work is discovered (for example, the birth was unexpectedly difficult or two children were born). In this case, the period of the decree is extended to the established limits, and the payment terms remain the same - 10 days from the date of filing the disability certificate with the company. Naturally, this additional payment is made already in the postpartum period.
So, we answered the question of when maternity pay is paid, before or after childbirth. I must say that even after the birth of a child, a woman (or spouse) has the right to receive a one-time allowance for the birth of a baby and arrange paid leave to care for him until the age of 1.5 years. But these payments are made already in the postpartum period upon the birth of a child.
The benefit for pregnancy and childbirth is due to women who have given birth and women who have adopted a child under the age of 3 months, who:
- are subject to compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood, that is, they work;
- study full-time;
- perform military service under a contract, serve in the internal affairs bodies, the National Guard troops, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, institutions and bodies of the penitentiary system, and customs authorities.
The maternity benefit is paid for Maternity leave lasts 70 (in case of multiple pregnancies - 84) calendar days before childbirth and 70 (in case of complicated childbirth - 86, in case of birth of two or more children - 110) calendar days after childbirth.
When adopting a child (children) under the age of 3 months, the allowance is paid from the date of adoption until the expiration of 70 (in case of simultaneous adoption of two or more children - 110) calendar days from the date of birth of the child.
"> period of maternity leave. For insured women An insured woman who has an insurance period of less than 6 months is paid a maternity benefit in the amount of no more than the minimum wage established in her region, taking into account the regional coefficient. "> with rare exceptions it is paid in the amount of 100% of average earnings, to employees - in the amount of monetary allowance, to students - in the amount of a scholarship. In this case, the allowance cannot exceed a certain amount. You can check the current restrictions on the website of the Moscow Regional Branch of the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation.The allowance is paid at the place of work, service or study. To receive it, you must present:
- certificate of incapacity for work;
- for registration at the place of service or study - a certificate from a medical organization.
In In cases:
- transferring the husband to work in another area, moving to the place of residence of the husband;
- illness that prevents the continuation of work or residence in the area (in accordance with a medical certificate issued in the prescribed manner);
- the need to care for sick family members (if there is a conclusion of a medical organization about the need for a sick family member in constant outside care) or disabled people of group I.
3. How to get benefits for women registered before 12 weeks of pregnancy?
Payout provided only together with maternity benefit. If the sick leave is not paid, then this benefit is also not provided.
The only additional document required to receive this payment is a certificate from the antenatal clinic or other medical organization that registered the woman in the early stages of pregnancy.
The citizenship and place of residence of a woman do not affect the right to receive payment.
Women dismissed in connection with the liquidation of an organization or the termination of activities by an employer - an individual, within 12 months preceding the day they were recognized as unemployed in the prescribed manner, receive benefits in.
