Monthly allowance up to 1,5 years for the second child, working and non-working
According to Russian legislation, the benefit for all children is accrued to one of the parents or guardian. Maternity leave lasts exactly 3 years, however, cash benefits are paid up to 1,5 years for the first, second and subsequent child. Payments are accrued to all mothers without exception.
Child benefits for working and non-working parents
Child allowance is paid regardless of whether you are officially employed or not. In the first case, the child benefit is paid by the employer, in the second – by the state. Working citizens must apply to the FSS at the place of employment. Unemployed people must apply for an allowance in the social protection authorities of the population in their area.
Benefit up to 1,5 years for the second child is assigned in any case.
The amount of payments for children for each family is set individually.
- In a family where there are 2 kids under the age of 1,5 years, the allowance is paid for each of the children.
- If the eldest child is over one and a half years old, the subsidy is credited only for the youngest child.
- If one of the parents has the status of deprived of parental rights, the benefit for the second child is paid in an amount equal to the subsidy for the first child, which is several times less than the standard payment.
- The death of the first child is considered a special case. In this case, the allowance is calculated taking into account the deceased firstborn.
All decisions on the amount of payments to employed citizens are determined by the Social Security Fund, the unemployed – by the USZN.
