*) The draft law approved by the Government of Russia provides for the indexation of payments from February 1, 2017 based on the actual growth index consumer prices for 2016.
Maternity allowance in 2017
The algorithm for calculating the maternity benefit has remained the same: the maternity benefit is calculated based on earnings for the two calendar years preceding the year in which the maternity leave began. So, if maternity leave begins in 2017, then the billing period will be 2016 and 2015.
The maximum value of the base for calculating insurance contributions to the FSS, which must be taken into account when calculating the maternity benefit in 2017, is:
- for 2016 718,000 rubles;
- for 2015 670,000 rubles.
Calculation of the maximum average daily earnings for calculating maternity benefits in 2017 - (718,000+ 670,000)/730= 1,901.37. Therefore, the average daily wage cannot be more than 1,901.37 rubles.
With the appearance of each child in a Russian family, parents are entitled to a newborn allowance, paid only once. Who can receive such a payment, what is its size, whether it depends on the number of children and in what order parents receive a lump-sum allowance for the birth of a child in 2017 - we will talk about all this later.
Who pays child support
The Law on State Child Benefits No. 81-FZ dated May 19, 1995 and the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation No. 1012n dated December 23, 2009 established the right to receive benefits at the birth of a baby only by one of his parents. Equally, this right belongs to the mother, father, or guardians and adoptive parents who have taken the child up. Benefit is not paid only if the child is stillborn.
Benefits for the birth of twins in 2017, as well as triplets, etc. paid for each of the children (Article 11 of Law No. 81-FZ). I.e total amount benefits will increase in proportion to the number of twins born at the same time.
A one-time allowance is due to working parents, as well as to the unemployed, including full-time students. In the first case, for a birth allowance in 2017, the parent applies to the employer, who is obliged to make deductions for employees for compulsory social insurance. In the second, the payment will be assigned by the social security service at the parental place of residence.
If one of the two parents works and the other does not, the allowance will be assigned to the person working at the place of work.
When the parents have officially dissolved the marriage, the allowance will be paid to the one with whom the child lives permanently after the divorce.
The amount of a one-time allowance for the birth of a child 2017
The amount paid for a child at his birth (adoption) is fixed and does not change depending on the level of salary or other income of the parent.
The amount of the allowance is growing every year due to indexation. So, as of January 1, 2017, the payment for a newborn was 15,512.65 rubles. From February 1, the amount of the allowance for the birth of a child in 2017 was indexed by a factor of 1.054 and today it is 16,350.33 rubles (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 01.26.2017 No. 88).
On the Far North and in regions where district coefficients are still established, the amount of the benefit will be greater due to these coefficients.
There is no reduction in the allowance for the birth of a second child in 2017, as well as for the third and all subsequent children, since the number of existing children does not affect its size - the allowance is always assigned in full.
How to get child support in 2017

We talked about child benefits in 2017 at. In this material, we will dwell on the indexation of benefits in more detail.
The procedure for indexing child benefits
The procedure for indexing state benefits to citizens with children is provided for by Art. 4.2 of the Federal Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ.
In January 2017, the amount of benefits was set taking into account indexation with a coefficient of 1.07. This coefficient was approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 01.28.2016 No. 42 and has been applied since 02.01.2016.
From 02/01/2017, benefits are indexed with a coefficient of 1.054 on the basis of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 01/26/2017 No. 88.
The amount of benefits, taking into account indexation in 2017
We give in the table the amounts of basic child benefits that are applied in 2017, taking into account indexation and are paid to persons subject to mandatory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood.
At the same time, we will single out the amounts of benefits established before 02/01/2017 and after this date.
To the maximum size monthly allowance for child care, the coefficients approved by the Decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation have no relation. The amount of the benefit depends on the maximum value of the base for calculating insurance premiums in the FSS (
Russian legislation provides for a whole system of measures to support families in which children are born and grow up. Among them are all kinds of children's allowances. They have their own specifics: they differ in size, conditions for appointment and terms.
Help in early pregnancy
A future mother can get this if she registers during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. In 2015, this one-time payment is 543.67 rubles.
It is paid at the place of residence or at work on the basis of a certificate from a medical institution that registers a woman.
In what numbers this allowance will be transferred depends on when the certificate is submitted. Usually, documents are submitted along with papers for BIR benefits, and the transfer of money will come in the next salary.
Social security will transfer funds to women dismissed due to the liquidation of the enterprise no later than the 26th day of the next month.
Unemployed Parents Receive Child Benefit from Social Services at the End of the Month
Birth allowance
Which is carried out to all families without exception with a newborn baby, now amounts to 14,497 rubles. Employed parents receive it at their work, and unemployed or students - in the social protection of the population. Documents should be submitted before the child reaches six months of age.
If the mother does not work, and the father is employed, then the money will be credited to him within ten days.
Social Security accrues funds on the same terms as other benefits - until the 26th day of the month that follows the month in which documents for payment are submitted.
Maternity allowance
Or "maternity" money, paid only to mothers who have a compulsory medical insurance policy.
The allowance is calculated by the average daily wage (there are flat rates for the unemployed) multiplied by the number of days spent on BIR vacation. It is paid immediately in full for the entire period of vacation.
In what way and on what number will the given child allowance, depends on the internal procedures in your organization. By law, this must happen on payday. Money can be issued in cash or transferred to a card.
For employed parents, payments are accrued along with the salary
Child care allowance
This payment is divided into two stages: up to 1.5 years and up to 3 years. Up to a year and a half, you are paid 40% of your average income every month. The next year and a half - only 50 rubles a month.
Not only mothers, but also other relatives can receive it. The main thing is that they actually take care of the child.
Accrual time - the dates of your salary at the enterprise. Non-working persons (for whom there is a fixed amount of payments with a minimum and maximum allowed by law) the benefit is paid on any other date.
Monthly allowance for children
Assigned and paid by social security, starting. In some cases, it can be extended until the age of majority.
This is a monthly allowance. Since the local social security is responsible for it, the day of payments in each municipality is different. The size varies from 800 to 300 rubles depending on the region.
The accrual of "children's" money depends on the type of benefit and the date of its execution.
Can payments be delayed?
Delays in accrual reached one and a half months. Regional authorities attributed this to a lack of funds until the federal center intervened in the spring. Since mid-2015, the situation has more or less returned to normal, however, in some regions of the Russian Federation, interruptions in payments are still observed.
According to statistics, 90% of payments occurred from the 23rd to the 10th. However, at the end of 2014, parents from completely different regions of the country began to complain about the irregular nature of payments.
If benefits are paid through your employer, you will most likely receive your benefits on payday. If social protection is involved in payments, then payments will depend on the date the benefit was issued.
