Over the past decades, our state has been pursuing an active policy of supporting motherhood and childhood, as well as encouraging fertility. One of the tools aimed at increasing natural population growth is the payment of lump sum benefits upon the birth of a child. But for a family preparing for the birth of their first child, it can be difficult to understand the payment procedure and the amount of benefits.

One-time benefit for the birth of a child
Procedure for receiving payment
Benefit for registration in early pregnancy

This legal area is regulated by the Federal Law “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children” dated May 19, 1995 N 81-FZ. Let's take a closer look at the benefits received at the birth of a child.

Benefit assignments in early pregnancy

Benefits for expectant mothers who are registered with a medical institution in the early stages of pregnancy are assigned and paid in accordance with several regulations:

Federal Law No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995 “On state benefits for citizens with children” (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 81-F3);
Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated September 29, 2020 No. 668n “On approval of the Procedure and conditions for the appointment and payment of state benefits to citizens with children”;
Federal Law of 07.08.2000 No. 122-FZ “On the procedure for establishing the amounts of scholarships and social benefits in the Russian Federation”;
Federal Law of July 16, 1999 No. 165-FZ “On the Basics of Compulsory Social Insurance”.

The benefit in the early stages of pregnancy is one-time. It is paid together with maternity benefits.

What other doctors should you see during pregnancy?

As planned, the gynecologist refers the expectant mother to an endocrinologist, an ophthalmologist, an ENT specialist, and a antenatal clinic therapist. This is necessary in order to understand whether a woman can bear a child, whether she has serious illnesses or contraindications to natural childbirth.

You need to visit the therapist and dentist four times. You will have to make an appointment with an otolaryngologist and an ophthalmologist twice.

Who is eligible for benefits in 2021

In accordance with the current provisions of the laws, the following can apply for benefits for registration in the early stages of pregnancy:

Women insured in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity. Simply put, women who work (serve) officially and for whom they pay contributions to compulsory social insurance.
Women who worked (were insured), but were dismissed due to the liquidation of the employer-organization or upon termination of the activities of the employer-individual entrepreneur, as well as employers-individuals engaged in private practice: notaries, lawyers, etc. - within 12 months preceding the day they were duly recognized as unemployed.
Women studying full time on a paid or free basis in educational institutions of primary vocational, secondary vocational and higher vocational education, in institutions of postgraduate vocational education.
Women performing military service under contract, serving as privates and commanding officers in internal affairs bodies, in the State Fire Service, in institutions and bodies of the penal system, in agencies for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, in customs authorities .
On 01/01/2015, the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union dated 05/29/2014 came into force, the parties of which are the Russian Federation, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia (Kyrgyzstan joined on 08/12/2015). According to the terms of the Agreement, citizens of these countries have the right to receive all types of compulsory social insurance benefits in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity from the first day of work in the Russian Federation. Moreover, this right does not depend on whether they are temporarily staying, temporarily or permanently residing on the territory of the Russian Federation. Employers must pay insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for them in the same amounts as for Russian citizens. Therefore, for the purposes of assigning benefits in the Russian Federation, citizens of the listed states are considered insured persons.

If a woman does not fall into one of the categories mentioned above, she is not eligible for payment.

Certificate required

To receive early pregnancy benefits, you must obtain a certificate from a medical institution. It is drawn up in any form, but certification by the issuing medical institution is required.

You can provide a certificate together with documents for receiving maternity benefits, or you can provide it separately . When submitting documents at the same time, both benefits will be paid at the same time. If the documents were submitted later, the benefit for registration in the early stages of pregnancy must be paid no later than 10 days from the date of registration of a certificate confirming this fact.

Benefit amount

The one-time benefit for women who registered in the early stages of pregnancy is 675.15 rubles (can be indexed from February 1, 2021).

In regions where increasing regional coefficients have been established, the amount of the benefit should be increased by the amount of the regional coefficient.

In some regions there are additional programs to support motherhood and childhood. For example, if you are registered and live in Moscow, then you have the right to receive an additional increase in benefits - you will pay an additional 634 rubles upon confirmation that you were registered at up to 20 weeks of pregnancy.

If maternity leave was issued before February 1, 2021, the benefit will be assigned in the amount of 675.15 rubles. If the date of sick leave is February 1, 2021 or later, the benefit is paid in a different amount - taking into account the indexation coefficient.

Registration for pregnancy up to 12 weeks of payment 2020

The basic size is 300 rubles. However, taking into account the indexation carried out every year in 2021, this amount is equal to 680.39 rubles . If a family is expecting twins or triplets, benefits are due to each child born.

Employed women receive the payment of the benefit in question together with the payment of maternity benefits, or as a supplement to their salary.

Students - in the form of an additional payment to the scholarship, unemployed citizens receive government assistance at the nearest social security offices at the place of registration or residence.

For residents of certain regions (the Far North and equivalent regions with special climatic conditions) and some constituent entities of the Russian Federation, there are special regional coefficients or separate regional payments for additional social support.

Documents for applying for benefits and places of payments

As a general rule, there is no need to write an application for early pregnancy benefits. All you need is a certificate that confirms that you are registered at the required date.

The woman applies this certificate and document confirming her incapacity for work during pregnancy and childbirth:

to an educational institution - if a student;
at the place of work (service) - if the working (employee) woman;
to the territorial social security authority at the place of residence - if you are unemployed and entitled to benefits.

Note!
A woman who is unemployed at the time of applying for maternity benefits is entitled to only one type of benefits - either maternity benefits and an additional payment for early registration, or unemployment benefits. You can't have both. You need to choose what exactly should be paid and notify the social security authority about it.

In principle, at the stage of transferring documents to the person who will assign the benefit, the registration process on the part of the expectant mother is completed . All that remains is to wait for the benefits to be paid.

Let's consider an exception: if a woman is an individual entrepreneur and before pregnancy regularly paid contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for a year or more, a certificate from the antenatal clinic must be submitted to the same Fund for the calculation of state payments.

Innovations for 2021 when paying benefits through the Social Insurance Fund

From 01/01/2021, all regions of Russia switched to direct payments of benefits from the Social Insurance Fund. The corresponding law has been adopted - Federal Law No. 478-FZ dated December 29, 2020.

Read more about this in the article “What happened to the FSS pilot project “Direct Payments” in 2021: regions.”

Thus, from 2021, the rules of direct payments are applied throughout Russia for the assignment and payment of benefits.

In order for the employee to receive the benefits due to her, she now submits all the necessary documents to her employer.

The employer transfers the documents received from the employee within 5 calendar days to the Social Insurance Fund branch at the place of its registration. They are accompanied by an inventory of the documents being transferred. The inventory form was approved by order of the Social Insurance Fund dated November 24, 2017 No. 578.

The method of transferring a set of documents depends on the average number of employees of the organization. So, if it does not exceed 25 people , documents can be submitted on paper . When the average number of employees is 26 or more , only electronic communication channels are used. In this case, the information necessary for calculating benefits is submitted in the form of an electronic register. The form of this register and the procedure for filling it out were approved by Order No. 579 of the Social Insurance Fund dated November 24, 2017.

Results

Payments are due not only for the birth of a child, but also in the event that you register with an antenatal clinic during pregnancy up to 12 weeks.
Of course, the amount of payments is small, but any funds will be useful.
Payments for registration up to 12 weeks of pregnancy are usually made simultaneously with the payment of maternity benefits. However, if you submitted documents for the first benefit later, then the payment will be later.
Starting from 2021, benefits will be paid through the Social Insurance Fund.

Preferences according to regional laws

Additional payments for pregnant women are established, if necessary, by all regions of the Russian Federation, not only Moscow and St. Petersburg. The results of decisions made usually depend on how the financial situation develops. Most benefits are intended for citizens who have received low-income status.

2 thousand rubles - an additional benefit in the Omsk region for those who fulfill the requirement for early registration.

Residents of the Voronezh region are paid 2 thousand rubles every month, which can be spent on food for the child. You just need to prove that the family’s income does not reach the level of the living wage established to date. 198 rubles is the amount of additional payment in the Vladimir region.

Nutrition according to a doctor's prescription is a special program developed for residents of the Moscow region. But in many regions there is still no additional support. It is better to contact the authorities responsible for social protection and development in advance.
