One of the most joyful and happiest moments in a parent's life is the birth of children. And if not one baby is born, but two at once, then this happiness, accordingly, is multiplied by two. In this case, receiving maternity capital will come in handy. But how are payments made when more than one child is born? And do they give maternity capital for twins? These questions concern a large number of mothers and fathers. Let's take a closer look at them.

What is maternity capital?

This is a Russian federal program that began operating in 2007. Its main goal is to increase the birth rate and provide assistance to young families with two or more children. If the baby was born, for example, on December 30, 2006, then maternity capital is not provided for him. It is expected that this program will end at the end of 2016. But there is an assumption that this project will be extended until 2025.

Maternity capital: twins, first birth

Many parents are interested in whether they will receive payments if, after the first pregnancy, 2 children were born at once. Some people mistakenly believe that if there was only one birth, they will not receive payments. Others, on the contrary, think that if twins are born, they will receive maternity capital twice as much. Both are wrong.

To ensure that such questions do not arise again, we explain: maternity capital is given to a family when a second and subsequent child appears in it, regardless of how many births the mother has had - one or two. At the same time, the amount of payments does not change in any case, even with the birth of triplets, the amount will be the same. In other words, maternity capital at the birth of twins is issued in the same way as at the birth of one (not the first) baby - once, even if the parents gave birth to another twin a year later.

How much does the state pay for the birth of twins?

As mentioned above, the amount of payments for the birth of one or several children at the same time is the same. For example, in 2013 it was 408,960 rubles. Now, in 2014, due to inflation, this amount has been slightly adjusted - 429,408 rubles.

Conditions for receiving payments

In order for parents to take advantage of this subsidy, they must have certain rights to receive it. So:

• the person who plans to receive payments (usually the mother) must have Russian citizenship;
• the child for whom the capital will be issued must also be a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• State support will be provided to families whose twins were born or adopted from the beginning of 2007 to the very end of 2016.

Double subsidies for the birth of twins in the second birth - is this possible?

Yes, such programs are available in several regions. Therefore, if twins are born, then mothers should know that they have a chance to receive regional support. It is issued for each birth or adoption of children until their total number reaches 4-5 people. Parents from Altai or the Republic of Tyva receive such subsidies.

At the birth of twins in the second birth, or rather, its size, can be from 30,000 to 200,000 rubles. In some regions, when a third or subsequent child appears in a family, parents are given a plot of land for the construction of a residential building.

You can find out whether such a program exists in your region from your local administration or from the social protection department of the Pension Fund.

Who can receive payments?

At the birth of twins, maternity capital is usually received by the mother. What to do if she is gone? Is maternity capital given for twins in this case? If yes, then to whom? In such situations, a subsidy may be issued:

• adoptive parents of both children;
• children's father if their mother is deprived of parental rights or has died;
• children themselves or one child in cases where parents or adoptive parents cannot, for one reason or another, claim payments.

What documents are required?

We have already figured out whether maternity capital is given at the birth of twins. Now you need to understand what papers are needed to obtain it and where to go. So, to apply for maternity capital, you need to come to the local Pension Fund with the following documents:

• mother’s (or guardian’s) passport and its copy;
• birth certificates of babies and their copies;
• SNILS in the name of the person for whom the certificate will be issued, and for both twins;
• if necessary, documents confirming that the children and the recipient of the benefit are citizens of the Russian Federation;
• upon adoption - papers that confirm this fact.

Use of subsidies

The funds that are due for the birth of twins are not given out in person. Three years after the birth of children, parents can use maternity capital in the following areas:

• Improving living conditions. The subsidy can be used for the construction of a house (payment for the contractor’s work) or the purchase of a finished apartment.
• Payment for children's education.
• Accumulation of part of the mother's pension.
• Repaying a loan to purchase a home.

If the subsidy amount is not spent in full, the balance will be subject to annual indexation in accordance with the increase in inflation.

Deadlines for applying for and receiving subsidies

If the parents were unable to immediately apply for subsidies, is maternity capital provided for twins in this case? Necessarily. An application for a certificate can be submitted either immediately after the birth of the babies, or after a year or two. The law does not provide for exact deadlines. The decision to issue a certificate will be made within 30 days, of which the applicant will be notified.

After children turn 3 years old, parents can use the subsidy in the areas listed above. The exception is for housing - in this case it can be used immediately after receiving the certificate. Payment of funds is made 2 months after acceptance and submission of an application for their disposal.

What if one child died?

What to do if one of the newborns died during childbirth? Is maternity capital given for twins in this case? No, in such situations the law prohibits issuing a subsidy. If the child died after the parents received his birth certificate, then there is a chance to receive a certificate.

As of 2019, most Russian families are raising one child. The most common reasons for this are financial difficulties, lack of housing and the ability to pay for quality education for children. To stimulate the birth rate and provide financial support to families, a family capital program has been in place since 2007. Many women want to receive maternity capital for their first child, but by law it is only available to families with two or more children.

Why mat. capital is given only upon the birth of a second child, what are the rules for applying for a subsidy in 2019, what is due to mothers after the birth of their first child? It is difficult to answer these questions on your own, since it requires knowledge of existing laws and monitoring of changes in the field of family law. A convenient solution would be to consult an experienced lawyer.

Specialists carefully study the case materials, assess the risks and prospects, and think through several options for the development of events.

Is maternity capital provided for the first child in the Russian Federation in 2019?

Is maternity capital required at the birth of twins? , is primarily of interest to those citizens who are lucky enough to become parents of many children the first time. But this information will also be interesting for other current and future parents.

For which child do they give maternity capital?

Maternal (family) capital is material assistance from the state to citizens who decide to have more than one child in the family. At one time, there were dissatisfied reviews that the amount of capital was too small, that the areas for realizing capital were too limited, that they would give birth only for the sake of money, finally. However, over time, the dissatisfaction subsided, as it became clear that maternal capital is only a pleasant addition to the happiness of having another family member.

In accordance with the law, the right to use maternity capital arises for a family upon the birth or adoption of a second, third, or subsequent child after January 1, 2007. It should be taken into account that stepdaughters and stepsons, as well as children in respect of whom parental rights or adoption have been terminated, are not taken into account.

At first, without understanding it, many believed that for each child after the first one they could receive money and thus become significantly richer by giving birth to a child every year. This is wrong. The right to family capital can be exercised only once. For example, if a second child appears in a family after the beginning of 2007, then the right to maternity capital is also formed. However, if after some time a third child appears in the same family, the right to use capital funds will no longer arise, since the right was used with the previous child. On the contrary, if a family that already has, for example, a couple of children, gains another child after January 2007, it will be able to use maternity capital.

Don't know your rights?

Is maternity capital required if twins are born?

An interesting situation arises if a woman gives birth (or a couple adopts) several children at once. Some even think that if there were no children in the family before and twins are their first offspring, then they are not entitled to maternity capital. This does not comply with the law. Maternity capital is given not for the fact of childbirth and not for their order, but specifically for the number of children in the family.

If several children (twins, triplets) appear in a childless family, then one of the babies will definitely be the second, that is, the one with whose appearance the right to maternity capital arises. If twins are born to a family with a child, then maternity capital can be registered for any of the children. But we remember that maternity capital funds can only be used once, so the certificate is issued for one child. As a rule, in this case, it is issued for the first of the twins, since he will be the second child in the family.

Having a child is a somewhat risky process. Having several children is a doubly risky undertaking. Unfortunately, it happens that one of the newborns during a multiple pregnancy dies. Is it possible to use maternity capital funds under such conditions? If a birth certificate was issued for a child at a medical institution, even if the birth document (certificate) was not received at the registry office due to the death of the child, it is quite possible to purchase a certificate for family capital for a second child. To provide the Pension Fund with a birth certificate of a deceased child, parents need to contact the civil registry office, which since 2010 are required to issue this document to the parents of a child who died in the first week of life (clause 2 of Article 20 of the Federal Law “On Civil Status Acts” of November 15, 1997 No. 143-FZ).

However, according to the same norm, a birth certificate is not issued for stillborn children. Accordingly, in such cases the right to maternity capital does not arise - with the exception of situations where the surviving child is the second or subsequent in the family.

Maternity capital is a wonderful program that really helps hundreds of thousands of young families. There are many aspects in the implementation of the program that constantly cause controversy and negativity, but overall it is a really useful program.

All my friends with children have already received or are expecting to receive maternity capital. What is surprising is that some did not even know about the existence of such a program. For which child are they given maternity capital? Almost everyone who applies for funds asks this question. There are indeed a number of points in the program that confuse people.

The idea of ​​the program is to stimulate an increase in the birth rate of children. After the birth of your second baby, you can apply for a certificate. Additional payments for the third and subsequent children are possible from regional programs, not from the federal one; the amounts in such payments differ in different regions.

Program to support Russian families: who is entitled to maternity capital in 2018

The state assistance program for families with children continues in a slightly updated version. Therefore, the question is again relevant: who is entitled to a certificate for maternity capital in 2018?

Who gets the money and for what?

The program of state support for the demographic situation in the country has existed for more than 10 years. During this time, thousands of families managed to receive maternity capital. A valuable certificate in 2018 can be issued immediately after the birth of the second or each subsequent baby, provided that the parents are citizens of the state.

But you shouldn’t expect to spend money immediately after registration. A family can exercise its right after the child for whom financial assistance has been allocated turns three years old. In addition, the law provides for the targeted use of money allocated to the family; the expenditure is controlled by government services.

Who is entitled to financial assistance in 2018? The main applicant for maternity capital is the mother of the baby.
The law also establishes the order of transition and receipt of maternity capital if unforeseen circumstances occur.

Until what time is it possible to use the money? They can be spent until the child for whom they were allocated turns 23 years old. In young families, the question often arises: is financial assistance available for the birth of a third or fourth heir in 2018?

The certificate can be issued under the following conditions:

• after the birth of the second baby;
• parents are entitled to family capital for any of their children, but it is given only on the condition that the application has not yet been submitted;
• the right to receive money is allowed to be used only once;
• An additional payment for the appearance or adoption of the third and each subsequent family member in 2018 can only be paid under a regional program, which differs from the federal one. Different regions have different payment amounts.

To clarify the regional conditions for receiving maternity capital funds in 2018, parents, guardians or adoptive parents should contact local authorities. The right to receive maternity capital in 2018 is given to a mother who has given birth to twins.
According to the law, if the first of the twins is born alive, then the second is entitled to a certificate. There is only one caveat: children must be born during the period when the state assistance program enters into force.

Right to receive state support

Who has the legal right to receive maternity capital in 2018? According to Federal Law No. 256 of December 26, 2006, the certificate is valid for:

• a citizen of the state (mother) who gave birth to or adopted a second or subsequent children;
• a citizen of the state (father) who is raising a second child alone;
• a citizen of the state (father) raising a second child alone, who was adopted after the adoption of the law;
• to a father or adoptive parent who does not have a citizen’s passport, on the condition that the mother’s right to receive maternity capital has been completely taken away by court;
• the child can receive the amount. This occurs when the sole father, mother or adoptive parents have been disqualified from receiving a parental certificate.

The father does not have all the grounds for financial assistance if:

• the first child was adopted by him;
• a minor entitled to government assistance was officially declared an orphan after the death of his mother.

Parents are not entitled to receive maternity capital:

• if the court has made a decision to cancel the decision on legal adoption;
• the mother or father was the stepfather or stepmother at the time of adoption.

Who else is entitled to a certificate in 2018? The right to receive maternity capital from guardians or trustees is not provided for by law.

The guardian can submit documents and an application for a certificate if the biological parents did not use it. The money will be divided equally among children whose biological parents lost their rights for any reason.

The guardian can dispose of funds only with the approval of government authorities; the guardian is given this opportunity only until the dependents turn 18 years old.

Death in the first week and in infancy

Any situation can happen, for example, the death of a baby. Is maternity capital due in 2018 if a child dies? The program clearly states the conditions under which maternal assistance is issued: a certificate is issued if the mother has another offspring following her firstborn.
What to do if a child dies?

Until a certain time, babies in the second week of life had grounds to receive a documented certificate of birth. Thus, if a child died before this period, obtaining financial assistance became impossible.

According to Federal Law No. 241, it is permitted to issue a documentary certificate of birth from birth. Parents are given the opportunity to apply for financial assistance if the child died almost immediately after birth.
According to another Federal Law No. 143, a child who died during or before obstetrics does not have the right to a birth document.

If the child died some time later and the parents managed to draw up a birth document, then the Pension Fund will not require other certificates. However, when there are no documents, it may be necessary to obtain a court decision.

If the parents only have a document in their hands indicating the death of the first or next child, then on the basis of it they can obtain state registration, after which they are given the right to financial assistance.

If a child died in the first week after birth, the Pension Fund is provided with a certificate drawn up on the basis of reports from a medical institution, which record the facts of his birth and death. Whether the parents' first or any of the children died does not matter. According to the law, if documents confirming the fact of the birth of the baby are available, the parents are entitled to a certificate to receive financial assistance.
It happens that parents whose child has died need to write an application to the court to prove their rights and, if all the documents are in order, the decision is often made in favor of the family. For some time, rumors were persistently discussed that the program was being curtailed. However, they were not confirmed.

Until what year is state aid paid? Support for families as part of improving the demographic situation is planned until 2021 inclusive, which means that units of society who have their first baby are given a chance to receive financial assistance after the birth of their second.
After the birth of the first child, no assistance is provided, and it is impossible to issue a certificate.
This is allowed only after the birth of the second or subsequent offspring. What kind of account it will be does not matter (the main thing is not the first), since you can use the money only once.

Which child is given maternity capital for: twins were born

For which child maternity capital is given is established by Federal Law 256 of December 29, 2006.
There is a misconception that only those people who have a second child are entitled to take advantage of the benefit.

Mat capital is also given for 3 - his and subsequent offspring. True, if parents did not take advantage of this right before.

Definition

Family capital is a form of monetary assistance to families with two or more children. Its current value is 453,026 rubles.
Previously, this assistance was subject to indexation. Now, due to the lack of money in the budget, the amount of the subsidy does not change.

Cells of society have the right to apply for help from the state at the birth or adoption of 2, 3 and other children. In this case, the appearance of the offspring must occur after January 1, 2007. In this case, the following are not taken into account:

• stepdaughters;
• stepchildren;
• offspring left without parental care due to deprivation.

Applying for such state assistance is allowed only once in a lifetime.

If a woman gave birth to her second child after 2007, she has the right to a benefit.
Having received the benefit and given birth to another baby, she can no longer count on this help.
If she had not used her right earlier, when his 3rd offspring appeared, she could have used the subsidy.

When a 2nd or subsequent heir appears in the social unit, the mother goes to the Pension Fund to issue a special certificate. It is this document that gives the right to the benefit.

Who is eligible for the subsidy?

Having determined for which child maternity capital is given in 2018, the related question arises of who should write an application for help. The following citizens have the right to count on capital:

1. Mother of offspring.
2. A man, the only adoptive parent of the 2nd and other children.
3. The father of the offspring, if the woman has lost her right to benefits.
4. The baby himself, when the parents did not use the right.

There are additional conditions for obtaining state aid:

1. Availability of citizenship of the applicant and offspring.
2. The child must appear in the family after January 1, 2007.

It turns out that such assistance is due to all sectors of society in our country in which a second or subsequent offspring has appeared. However, this benefit can only be used once.

What if twins were born?

Quite often, people have a question about which child they are providing maternity capital for in 2018 if twins are born.
Adhering to the legislation, it is possible to accurately determine whether state assistance is provided for the fact of childbirth.
If there were no children in the family before, and twins were born, she can safely go and apply for a subsidy for one of the children.

The same applies if there is already a child in the family and twins are born. The family again has the right to benefits. The main condition here is whether the woman has previously received mat capital.

Decor

The first thing a woman does after giving birth is to obtain a birth certificate. Then, she needs to come to the Pension Fund with the required package of documentation in order to receive a special certificate.

She will be able to use public funds only when the child is three years old.
True, there are some exceptions. You can manage money from the very moment of birth, but only if you use it to pay off a mortgage or for the social adaptation of disabled children.

To manage the funds, she will have to write another application to the Pension Fund and wait about two months for a decision.

The period for applying to the Pension Fund for registration of maternity capital is unlimited by law. The family can exercise its right after any period of time convenient for it. The main thing is that at least three years must pass from the moment of birth.

Where to send?

Now, the program continues its operation. State authorities have extended it until the end of 2021. You cannot receive money in cash. They can be sent in a certain direction by bank transfer:

1. Improvement of living quarters, including through credit funds.
2. Payment for education, including kindergartens and universities.
3. Formation of a mother's funded pension. Despite the fact that men in exceptional cases can apply for benefits, it is impossible to manage funds for them in this direction.
4. Social adaptation of disabled children. This means not only treatment, but also the acquisition of the necessary equipment.

It is allowed to use maternity capital money in several directions at once in separate parts. For example, it is allowed to write an application for one hundred thousand towards a future pension, 353,026 rubles. use it to purchase a home. Or even leave some of the money in the account until the need arises.

How many times do they give maternity capital: we sort out the legal confusion

The issuance of maternity capital certificates is strictly controlled by the state. This is understandable: the size of this subsidy is significant, and it is given to families only if certain conditions are met.

The birth of a second or third and subsequent ones is an important condition; without it, receiving benefits is impossible. According to the law, each family can exercise its right to receive maternity capital only once.

The phrase in the law “On Maternity Capital” causes discrepancies and disputes, the essence of which is that the right to manage funds is given to families in which the second, third and subsequent child was born. Therefore, the question arises: how many times do you receive maternity capital?

Who can receive maternity capital and how many times?

The phrase in the law above does not mean that a subsidy will be given for each child born after the first. The wording in the law may not be entirely successful, but it is interpreted as follows: the right to receive maternity capital is given to those families in which, after the introduction of the program, a second child was born, as well as a third and subsequent ones.
That is, if before 2007 there were already two children in the family, then the parents are not entitled to receive a subsidy. And if, after the introduction of the program after January 1, 2007, they had a third child, then they will receive the money they are entitled to.
And if they have a fourth child, then they will not receive maternity capital from the federal budget again, since they have already exercised their right by receiving a certificate for the third.

But if they did not receive a certificate for the third, or they had twins, then they can submit the documents to the Pension Fund - the payment will be made.

Possible difficult cases

It makes sense to consider a few more special cases that raise frequent questions.
When twins are born, the family has the right to receive only one maternity capital, and it does not matter which child it is for.

If the first child was stillborn, then according to the law it is not considered born. If he lived for at least a day, and there is evidence of the fact of his birth, then he is considered the first-born. Then, at the birth of her second child, the mother can apply for a certificate. If another child is born in such a family, formally he will be considered the second, but in the eyes of the law - the third. There will be no more maternity capital for him.
If a woman had children from two different fathers, then she can count on only one maternity capital.
For example, from his first marriage he had two children, and she exercised her right and received a certificate. With the birth of her third child from her second husband, she is not able to receive a subsidy again, although in fact this is already a different family.

The situation is similar with men. If they are raising children - adopted or born from different wives - then they are entitled to receive only one certificate.

It happens that the recipient does not have time to exercise his right to receive a subsidy, but at the same time received a certificate. In this case, it is inherited by the second spouse, and after his death - by the children.
If there are several children, then the funds are distributed among them in the same proportion.

The right to receive maternity capital is established by the Pension Fund. If a person disagrees with the fund’s decision, he can always seek help from a professional lawyer or file an application in court. Find out more about the procedure for obtaining maternity capital.

What's in the regions?

Regions may have their own fertility support system. Regional maternity capital differs in the variety of programs provided for the use of funds, the size of subsidies and the conditions for receiving them.

If federal maternity capital can be obtained only once, then in some regions it is possible to repeatedly use regional maternity capital.
For example, in the Republic of Mordovia, money is paid for every child born, up to the fifth, and the amount of the subsidy increases each time.

There are programs, for example, in the Republic of Tyva, when you can receive maternity capital for the second time only after the birth or adoption of a fifth child, in the Altai Republic - after the fourth.

Regional authorities and local governments can help large families in a different way, not only by allocating funds. For example, in the Republic of Bashkortostan, for the birth of a third child, a free plot is given for the construction of a house. In the Khabarovsk Territory, after the birth of the third child, the state pays the balance of the mortgage if the family used maternal capital to purchase an apartment or house.

The law on maternity capital is constantly being adjusted, improvements and additions are periodically made to it, and the scope of application of state subsidies is expanding.
Thus, amendments have been submitted for consideration that provide for repeated payment of maternity capital. Unfortunately, this intention has not yet found support among deputies, although the application of this norm would be quite logical.

conclusions

How many times is maternity capital issued? It can only be obtained once in a lifetime. It is paid for the birth of a second or subsequent child, if he was born during the program period.
The number of children born or adopted before this does not matter, nor does their age matter.

In particular cases, the Pension Fund considers the possibility of obtaining maternity capital. If necessary, the family can go to court.

Regions have their own programs to support large families. In a number of regions, you can repeatedly receive regional maternity capital or another measure of social support.

Maternity capital (certificate for the second child or subsequent)

Obtaining and using maternity capital (certificate for the second child)

A certificate for maternity capital has been issued for a second or subsequent child since 2007 and is going to be issued until December 31, 2021. Maternity capital is funds for the implementation of additional government support measures for families with children.
A certificate for a second child is a document confirming the right to use maternity capital (do not confuse it with a birth certificate!).

Who gets a certificate for a second child (maternity capital)?

A mother (Russian citizen) will be able to receive a certificate of maternity capital for her second child (also a Russian citizen) if this child was born or adopted between 2007 and 2021. And it doesn’t matter at all where they live, where and from whom the child was born.

A certificate for a second child or a subsequent one can be obtained for a third child (or fourth), if you did not receive one for a second (or third).
A certificate for a second child can also be obtained for the first twin; to do this, you need to determine which of the babies was born second.

The father also has the right to maternity capital (certificate for the second child) if he is the only adoptive parent of two or more children, and the last child should have been born or adopted no earlier than 2007. That is, if these children do not have a mother or she is deprived of parental rights to them.

They will not give maternity capital if the child died during childbirth, but they should give it if the child died in the first week, since birth certificates are now also given for such children.
The adoption of a stepson or stepdaughter (children of the husband from a previous marriage) also does not give the right to maternity capital.

How to get a certificate for a second child?

In order for a mother to receive a certificate of maternity capital for her second child, she must bring, at her place of registration (or place of residence), to the Pension Fund office, documents confirming her identity, registration (or place of residence) and citizenship of the mother, as well as confirming birth or adoption of children and citizenship of the last child.

Usually these are children's birth certificates and mother's passport. You will need to fill out an application at the Pension Fund branch. Provided that all documents are in order, a positive decision will be made within a month, after which you can come for a certificate for your second child.
If it is not possible to get to the Pension Fund branch, copies of all documents certified by a notary can be sent by mail.

Amount of maternity capital (certificate for the second child or subsequent)

Before September 1 of each year, the amount of maternity capital for the next year is revised taking into account inflation. In 2014, the amount of maternity capital amounted to 429,408 rubles. In 2015, maternal (family) capital amounted to 453,026 rubles.

After indexation in 2018, maternal (family) capital does not increase again.

How can you use maternity capital?

Maternity capital can be used no earlier than the child reaches 3 years of age. You cannot receive maternity capital in direct cash form; it can only be disposed of in the following areas:

1. Improving housing conditions on the territory of the Russian Federation through non-cash transfer of specified funds for the purchase of housing.
2. Payment for services in the field of child education. Funds can be spent on education in educational institutions of the Russian Federation for any child under 25 years of age.
3. Increasing the funded part of the mother’s labor pension.
4. Construction and reconstruction of your own house (on your own).

At the same time, maternity capital does not have to be spent entirely and only on one of the listed areas. You can spend money in parts and on different needs.
The unspent balance will be indexed annually.

You cannot spend maternity capital on purchasing building materials, renovating an apartment, or purchasing a plot of land. There is no provision for repayment of rent debts or repayment of loans for the purchase of a car or household appliances. You cannot spend it on treatment and you also cannot take the entire amount in cash.

Maternity capital is exempt from personal income tax. Changing the amount of maternity capital will not result in a replacement certificate. A certificate for a second child is issued not to a specific child, but to the entire family. Accordingly, these funds can be spent taking into account the interests of the whole family.
The period for submitting an application to the Pension Fund for the issuance of a state certificate of maternity capital for the second child (or subsequent) is unlimited.

Many of you have heard about state support for families with children. For parents of twins, this problem is of particular importance. Many questions arise: is capital paid for the second birth or the second child? Maybe the payment is twice as much for twins? And in general, is maternity capital paid at the birth of twins?

As a full-fledged father of twins, I am ready to help you understand this issue.

This is a government program aimed at increasing the birth rate in the Russian Federation. Capital is paid for the birth of a second (or third, etc.) child born after January 1, 2007. Initially, your contribution to the demographic situation of the country was estimated at 250,000 rubles.

At the moment, after recalculations and re-indexation, the required amount is more impressive: 453,026 rubles.

How can it be used?

The certificate cannot be cashed. The money is kept in a pension fund, and you have paper in your hands confirming that it is yours. Any manipulations with these funds that are not provided for in the program are prosecuted by law. That is, get a good 450 thousand rubles in your hands. does not seem possible.

So how then can you use these tools? Not everything is so prosaic; no one has yet refused payments, and I don’t advise you to. It is not for nothing that maternity capital is also called family capital. It belongs equally to the single mother/father and the children. You can use it on:

• Improving living conditions (purchase of an apartment or house/construction/overhaul with an increase in living space)
• Children's education
• Receiving paid medical services. services when their absence threatens the life of the mother/child
• Adaptation of a disabled child
• Mom's pension savings

Currently, the support program in this form is valid until the end of 2016. It is not yet known whether the law will be extended.

When can I use the certificate?

To avoid dishonest and sometimes criminal actions, the certificate does not come into force immediately. You can use it only after the toddler reaches three years old, for which he is cursed. capital has been assigned. An exception is the case when the Pension Fund pays off the first installment on a mortgage loan against the certificate.

A little about families with many children

It would be great if maternity capital was issued for each child in the family, right? Dreams are dreams... In fact, a certificate is given for one (not the first) child born after January 1. 2007. That is, whether the baby is second, third, fifth - the result is the same. You can apply for maternity capital only due to the birth of one of your children.

Moreover, if you have twins or triplets, the payment will be made only for one of the children. The state does not care who exactly was second.

How and to whom to receive maternity capital?

You need to contact the Pension Fund (PFR) and submit a package of documents, which should include:

1. Passport of the applicant (mother or single father, adoptive parent. If children are deprived of parents, they are the only owners of family capital.)
2. Application for a certificate
3. Birth certificate for all children
4. Court decision on adoption, if the children were adopted

An invariable condition for registering family capital is the Russian citizenship of the mother and child. If one of the baby’s parents has foreign citizenship, then it is necessary to provide a document confirming the toddler’s citizenship in the Russian Federation.

You submit all the necessary documents to the Pension Fund of Russia, and within a month the certificate should be issued to you (or sent by mail).

What is the real benefit?

In 2014, the Ministry of Economy. Development of the Russian Federation planned to curtail the capital payment program. A letter was even sent to the Prime Minister about the abolition of “maternity capital”. It was motivated by the fact that the real demographic situation is not changed, but only the birth calendar is shifted. Why? It's simple: those who wanted a second baby later dare to get pregnant now in order to receive the payment.

But, nevertheless, many parents will agree that there is no such thing as an extra penny in such a situation. Many have finally afforded themselves separate housing, some have seriously planned to educate their children at a good university, and others have ensured that they will not grow into a hungry old age.

Undoubtedly, such a program to support families with children evokes only warm feelings among parents. The amount of payment, although not too large, is noticeable when it was not enough to improve life.
