Hello, dear readers of our blog! If you are about to have a baby, or this joyful event has already happened, it will be useful for you to find out what kind of child care benefit you can count on for child care up to 1.5 years old and its size. Let's discuss what it takes to get this money.

The right to receive monthly financial payments for child care up to 1.5 years are entitled to (one of):

• Mom or Dad;
• Grandmother or grandfather;
• Official guardian or adoptive parent.

In addition, both working citizens (officially employed, from whom deductions from their salaries go to the Social Insurance Fund) and the unemployed can receive care benefits. If a mother wants to go to work, children can be registered in the name of another family member.

A mother can go on maternity leave for 3 years, during which time she will be recognized as temporarily disabled. Of these 3 years, the state compensates for the temporary financial difficulties of the parent for a period of only 1.5 years.

Persons who have a residence permit in the Russian Federation can also receive a monthly child care allowance if the child was born on its territory.

2. How is the monthly child care benefit calculated?

How the benefit is calculated depends on whether the parent is working. For non-working parents, the amount is set by the state on the basis of the adopted budget for social payments for the current year. This figure is the minimum amount of benefits for child care up to 1.5 years.

The amount of this benefit in 2016 is 2908.62 rub. per month for the first child and 5817.24 RUR. per month for subsequent ones. This is the minimum amount that unemployed parents, students or students receive.

For working parents, the payment is calculated based on data on the receipt of social security contributions for the last 2 years. To do this, you need information about the full amount of your salary. It is necessary to take into account the right of a mother who has received a care allowance and works part-time. In this case, she will receive both benefits and salary.

If a parent is entitled to several benefits (child care, unemployment), then you need to choose one. Having chosen to receive one type of child benefits, others automatically stop being paid:

The average salary per day is calculated as follows:

ZPd = (ZP1 + ZP2)/D – Day,

• where ZP1 + ZP2 is the total salary for two years,
• D – number of days in 2 years (this is 730 or 731),
• Day – number of days of incapacity (sick leave, vacation)

In this case, they take into account the maximum allowable amount of the average salary per day, as well as the maximum allowable monthly payment for child care. The maximum value is set by the state for each budget year.

In 2016, the maximum amount of salary per day was established, this is - RUB 1,772.6. If the actual amount exceeds the maximum, the one established by the federal budget is taken into account.

To determine the average monthly salary, you need to multiply the average daily salary by the average number of days in a month - this is 30.4.

Monthly allowance = salary * 30.4 * 40/100

Maximum possible monthly assistance child care is:

Max. allowance = 1772.6*30.4*40/100 = 21554.82 rubles.

3. Receiving benefits for child care up to 1.5 years old

The Social Insurance Fund calculates the payment of benefits, and it is received:

• At the place of work (for workers);
• Through the Social Insurance Fund branch at your place of residence (for non-employees).

How benefits are paid working parents? After all the certificates are collected and processed, the money comes to the salary card. The company pays the amount from its reserve on paydays, and the Social Insurance Fund compensates it for these amounts.

Where to get benefits non-working parents? When preparing documents to receive benefits, indicate the number of the bank card to which the payment will be transferred. Students will receive the benefit on their card on the day of the scholarship.

Parents can go on maternity leave for 1.5 years in turn, then the benefit will need to be transferred to the other parent. The start time for receiving care benefits follows the end of the maternity benefit period.

Dear parents, if you prefer to receive care benefits from the birth of your child, you must submit all the necessary documents on time and indicate that you are renouncing previous benefits in favor of care payments. Usually this amount is slightly larger and therefore more attractive.

4. Documents for obtaining child care benefits for children up to 1.5 years old

A working parent needs to collect the following documents and submit them to their place of work:

• A copy of the child's birth certificate;
• Application for parental leave;
• A certificate stating that the other parent is not paid similar benefits at his place of work (if the second parent is unemployed, then a certificate from the social security authorities that no child benefits have been issued to him).

If the parent for whom the assistance is issued does not work, he provides the following documents to the Social Insurance Fund authorities at the child’s place of residence:

• Application for child care benefits;
• A copy of the child's birth certificate;
• A certificate from the other parent’s place of work that no child benefits have been issued to him;
• A copy of the work record book with notes about the last place of work or study;
• Copy of the passport;
• Certificate from the state employment service confirming the absence of unemployment benefits.

All copies of documents are provided in the presence of their originals. Processing of documents takes about 10 business days, after which payments are due.

Benefit for working mother

Officially employed women are paid a monthly allowance for a child up to 1.5 years of age by the employer, and its amount directly depends on her salary at the time of going on maternity leave. The amount of the benefit is equal to 40% of the salary, but cannot exceed 100% of the salary received or the average earnings in the region. Since 2019, the benefit amount has increased to 26152 rubles The amount of the monthly child care benefit is calculated per child; if twins are born, the amount increases by 2 times, i.e. equal to 80% of earnings.

If you continue your childcare leave until the age of 3, you cannot count on a monthly childcare allowance. In this case, the mother can only be paid compensation in the amount of 50 rubles.

Child benefit for a working mother

The following should be said about what kind of monthly child benefit a working mother is entitled to: the amount of child benefit is on average 500 rubles, but it is paid only to those who really need it. As a rule, during the first 1.5 years of the mother’s maternity leave, it is paid, but the amount depends on whether the mother is officially married or raising the child alone. Single mothers can count on the maximum benefit amount.

Another factor based on which it is calculated is the average monthly family income. The earnings of all family members are summed up and compared with the regional subsistence level. As a rule, a child raised in a two-parent family, if its earnings are below the subsistence level, can receive only half of the maximum benefit amount - 250 rubles.

If the family income is above the subsistence level, then the benefit is denied.

It is paid on the condition that he studies at any educational institution until he is 18 years old.

Single-parent families receiving may also be deprived of child benefits if the total family income is above the subsistence level.

Benefits for non-working mothers

The calculation of child care benefits for children up to 1.5 years of age for the category of non-working mothers is carried out by the social protection service. In this case, the benefit amount is fixed and set by the state. For the current year, 3,065.69 rubles are paid monthly for the first child. In some regions, this amount is supplemented by a local coefficient. For the second child the amount will be 6131.37 rubles, and it will not change for subsequent children.

The legislator also determined the maximum amount of such benefit at 16,350.33 rubles. You can get it if:

• if the child’s mother was fired due to the liquidation of the organization or enterprise where she worked;
• is a full-time student;
• A close relative is caring for the child due to the absence of parents at this time.

The benefit is accrued within 10 days after submitting the relevant application.

Child benefit for non-working mothers

Unemployed single mothers are paid a child benefit in the amount of 3065.69 rubles up to 1.5 years, which is according to a little more than $50. In the future, it can persist for up to 3 years if the mother is not employed, but is looking for work. If the child’s mother is able to work, but is not looking for work, payment of benefits may be denied. But, as a rule, this rarely happens.

For non-working mothers raising a child together with their husband, the amount of the benefit is calculated based on the family’s average monthly earnings. As a rule, low-income families retain a minimum benefit amount.

The maximum amount of child benefit for certain categories of citizens may be higher than the national average. These categories include women whose husbands are called up for military service. For them, the amount of child benefit is 830 rubles. In some regions, local authorities are also increasing the amount of child benefits.

COMPENSATION for child care from 1.5 to 3 years

To all employees who are on parental leave for up to three years, employers are required to pay monthly compensation in the amount of 50 rub.

The procedure for assigning and paying compensation was approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 3, 1994 No. 1206. It states that compensation is assigned at all places of work. And taking into account regional coefficients.

An allowance of 50 rubles is paid from the beginning of parental leave until 3 years of age, that is, you must pay it from the very beginning. It is paid only upon the employee’s application; if there is no application, you don’t have to pay. And for the month it is paid in proportion to the days of vacation.

Note: This type of cash payment, by its legal nature, is actually a state benefit, and therefore, on the basis of paragraph 1 of part 1, compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity.

When, from what week do they go on maternity leave in 2019, how are benefits paid and calculated. What week does maternity leave start from? What should you generally expect if you are a young mother and are planning to take maternity leave from work? The article explains in detail how to calculate maternity benefits in 2019, as well as how maternity benefits are calculated and paid for all women.

Unemployed citizens, as well as the self-employed population, for whom participation in voluntary social insurance is optional, benefits for child care up to 1.5 years are issued through social security. Moreover, not only the mother, but also the father of the child, and in some situations the grandmother or other relatives directly caring for him can receive payment.

Important! Only one relative will be able to receive benefits, even if several people are caring for the child.

You can apply for payment until the child reaches 2 years of age, that is, up to 6 months after the child turns 1.5 years old. Regardless of the timing of the application, the amount of benefits due to the mother will be paid in full.

The procedure for processing social security payments

To process the payment, you need to contact the USZN at your place of residence and fill out an application. In addition to the application, the following documents must be submitted:

• passport of mother (father, relative);
• a copy of the child’s birth (adoption) certificate;
• copies of birth certificates of other children (if available);
• a certificate from the second parent stating that he did not receive this benefit (from his place of work, study or from the social security agency);
• a certificate issued by the employment center stating that the mother does not receive unemployment benefits;
• employment history;
• details for transferring funds (if choosing a delivery method - through a bank branch).

Since one of the main conditions for receiving social security payments is the lack of employment, you will need to confirm this with a certificate from the employment service. Such a certificate is obtained upon application by contacting the employment center in person or by sending it by mail. A certificate is issued no later than 30 days from the date of application.

The mother chooses the method of receiving the payment independently from two options:

• by mail, then the benefit can be received at the post office at your place of residence;
• at a bank branch, then the benefit can be received at the bank branch’s cash desk, or through an ATM. You will first need to open a bank account and/or apply for a bank card.

The chosen method can be changed if desired by submitting the appropriate application.

In some cases, Social Security may request additional documents, for example:

• The self-employed population will need documents confirming their status (individual entrepreneur, lawyer, notary, etc.), as well as a certificate from the Social Insurance Fund, which confirms the lack of registration as an insurer and non-receipt of benefits for up to 1.5 years;
• Documents will be required from a grandmother or other relative confirming the parents’ inability to care for the child on their own.

Social Security will review the application and make a decision on granting benefits within 10 days from the date of submission of documents. After which the benefit will be paid directly from the day the child was born until he reaches 1.5 years of age.

Amount of monthly child care benefit for unemployed people

Unlike officially employed citizens, who receive a benefit of 40% of average earnings for the last 2 years, the unemployed are paid a fixed amount of benefits. This amount is set on February 1 of each year at the federal level and is subject to annual indexation to the inflation rate of the previous year.

Amount of benefit for child care up to 1.5 years for unemployed people for 2017 – 2018

Important! The amount of the benefit is subject to increase by the regional coefficient in those regions where it is established. If a mother (father) takes care of two or more children, then the benefits for each child are summed up.

Does Social Security delay benefits?

The deadline for payment of benefits is the 26th of each month. However, delays in transferring benefits still occur. They occur, as a rule, not through the fault of social security employees, but due to the fact that benefits are paid as funds are received from the federal budget. However, social security authorities do not have the right not to pay benefits at all. Therefore, the due money will be transferred in any case either a little later than the due date, or paid simultaneously with the next payment.

Single mother care allowance

A single unemployed mother is entitled to all the same payments as a non-single mother. She is paid child care benefits in the same minimum fixed amount as any other unemployed citizens.

However, for a single mother, some regional payments are provided:

• child benefit after 3 years of age, paid to the poor. This is a federal benefit, but each subject of the Russian Federation sets its size independently. Paid monthly (or quarterly) until the child reaches 16 (18) years of age, provided that the average per capita family income is below the subsistence level established in the region;
• monthly allowance for up to 3 years for the third child. By order of the President of the Russian Federation, it is established by regional authorities in the amount of the subsistence minimum for children, but not every region has it. Paid for the third and subsequent children under 3 years of age to low-income families.

You can also find out what benefits are paid in your region and arrange their payment at the social security authorities.

How to apply for benefits for your grandmother

A non-working grandmother who has already retired also has the right to apply for this benefit. But she can do this only if the child’s parents:

• died;
• were declared missing;
• are incapacitated or have limited capacity;
• avoid leaving;
• deprived of parental rights;
• are in custody or in custody.

What is the maximum amount of child care benefits in 2018? How is this amount calculated? Is it necessary to recalculate the already assigned maximum child care benefits? Let's figure it out.

Basic information about care allowance up to 1.5 years

In 2018, a childcare benefit for a child up to 1.5 years old is provided to an employee on parental leave to care for a child up to three years old. During this period, the employee must be paid monthly:

• child care benefit at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund until the child reaches the age of 1.5 years;
• compensation at the expense of the employer until the child reaches the age of three years (50 rubles).

Parental leave can be granted not only to the mother of the child. It can be received by any relative who is actually caring for him (father, grandmother, grandfather, other relative).

The benefit is assigned if the employee (employee) contacts the employer no later than six months after the child turns one and a half years old.

If, however, six months have passed since the child turned 1.5 years old, then if there are good reasons for missing the deadline, the Social Insurance Fund may make a positive decision and assign a benefit. The list of such reasons is not arbitrary, it is established by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated January 31, 2007 No. 74. These can be either emergency circumstances (earthquake, flood), or, for example, a long-term illness of a parent or a move.

Minimum dimensions

The legislation guarantees that any employee has the right to count on a minimum amount of child care benefits for up to 1.5 years. In 2018, the minimum care allowance is paid in the following amounts:

Maximum values ​​in 2018

Maximum earnings

In 2017, the maximum amount of childcare benefits for children up to 1.5 years is not limited. However, the amount of average daily earnings from which the benefit is calculated is limited.

The amount of average daily earnings for calculating benefits cannot exceed the sum of the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating insurance premiums for the two years preceding the year of parental leave, divided by 730 (Part 3.3 of Article 14 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255- Federal Law). Therefore, in order to determine the maximum amount of average daily earnings, the following formula is used:

Who pays the benefit

Child care benefits in 2018 are paid to the employee at his place of work. However, in practice there may be more complex situations when an employee (employee) has entered into several employment contracts: one for her main place of work and the rest as a part-time job. In this case, the employee (employee) herself determines which employer will pay the benefit (provided that they have worked for these companies over the past two years). The company that will be selected has no right to refuse this.

The Ministry of Labor calculated benefits for 2018 differently

On December 27, the Russian Ministry of Labor announced on its official website that the maximum amount of child care benefits from January 1, 2018 is 24,503 rubles per month. However, in fact, the benefit amount is 33.57 rubles. more - RUB 24,536.57

To calculate monthly child benefits, the calculation period has changed compared to 2017, and the income limit has also changed. Namely: for 2016 it is equal to 718,000 rubles, and for 2017 - 755,000 rubles. In 2016 there are 366 days, and in 2017 - 365. The catch is that to calculate the maximum, the number of days in two years is always 730 (even if one of the years is a leap year). This follows from paragraph 3.3 of Article 14 of the Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ. To calculate benefits, actual days are taken (731). The Ministry of Labor used actual days (731) to calculate the maximum, which does not comply with the law. Moreover, the Ministry of Labor recalled in the message that the maximum allowance for 2017 is 23,120.66 rubles. And this payment is calculated based on 730 days. The legislation has not changed since then. Therefore, there is a counting error when calculating the maximum speed in 2018.

What should accountants do?

Pay benefits based on the maximum amount of RUB 24,536.57. It complies with the law. You cannot make mistakes in the manual - controllers will impose fines for this.

Let us recall that in 2017 there was also confusion. At the beginning of 2017, the Ministry of Labor was confused with the calculation of the maximum child care benefit. In letter No. 17-1/ОOG-314 dated 03/03/2017, officials explained that the maximum amount of child care benefits in 2017 is RUB 23,089.00. (670000 + 718000) : 731 x 30.4 x 40%). The Ministry of Labor divided the maximum earnings into 731 days, since 2016 is a leap year. Some accountants decided that they needed to reduce benefits if they paid employees RUB 23,120.66. But this opinion is wrong. The explanation from the Ministry of Labor concerned those workers who met two conditions in 2015–2016: earnings exceeded the maximum amount that is subject to contributions to the Social Insurance Fund, and there were no periods that must be excluded from the number of days when calculating benefits. If the company excluded at least one day from the billing period, then the average daily earnings for calculating benefits cannot exceed 1901.37 rubles. (670,000 rub. + 718,000 rub.) : 730 days. The monthly legislative maximum in 2017 is RUB 23,120.66. (RUB 1,901.37 × 30.4 × 40%). This follows from paragraph 3.3 of Article 14 of the Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ. This was confirmed by the FSS in a letter dated March 3, 2017 No. 02-08-01/22-04-1049l. Therefore, those employers who paid the employee the maximum of 23,120.66 rubles in 2017 should not change anything. Cm. " ".
