Benefit for a child under 18 years old, who is paid and how much, size
According to the law, a woman can be on maternity leave for no more than three years, during which the state pays her an allowance. After this period, social services stop payments. But there is an opportunity to receive child support up to 18 years of age. Although not all families can count on such payments.
This type of allowance is intended for families whose total income does not reach the subsistence level. To calculate if you are eligible for financial assistance, add up all your receipts in the last three months and divide by the number of family members. If the amount received is less than 10701 rubles, then you can safely go to apply for an allowance.
Benefit for a child under 18 years old is assigned to low-income parents and large families.
To receive the allowance, you must visit the nearest multifunctional center or directly the social protection authorities and write an application, a sample of which will be provided on the spot. You need to have the following package of documents with you:
- Original and copies of IDs of all family members.
- Divorce or marriage certificate, if any.
- Income statements of all family members for the last 3 months.
- Certificate of family composition.
- Certificate from the school for children over 16 years of age.
- Copies of work books of parents or guardians.
- Applicant’s bank account details.
In addition, single mothers need to bring a certificate from the registry office confirming their status. The decision on granting benefits or refusal is made within ten working days.
Such payments are not included in the federal budget and are paid from the regional treasury. Therefore, in different parts of our country, the amount of benefits is significantly different and can vary from 100 rubles to several thousand.
The timing of the accrual of payments depends on the region. It is necessary to confirm the status of a poor family every six months. Moreover, you need to immediately notify social workers if your circumstances have changed. You should not try to deceive government officials, because if you are “caught” with low income, you will have to pay heavy fines.
How much other benefits are paid
The legislation provides for other regional payments that can be received for minor children. These include the following benefits:
- Assistance for a child living with a single parent who is a disabled group 1-2 or temporarily unemployed. The amount of this benefit differs in some regions, but the minimum amount is 6 thousand rubles. The payment is made out in the social security service.
- Allowance for a single mother raising a disabled child or a disabled child under 23 years of age. The amount of payments depends on the region, as well as the material support of the family. But in any case, you can count on the minimum rate, which reaches 6 thousand rubles. To make this payment, you need to contact the Pension Fund.
The state assigns various benefits that can be received for children until their majority. These payments greatly facilitate the life of low-income families and thanks to such material assistance, the child can be provided with everything he needs.
