Do maternal capital give for twins and how much is it?

The birth of twins is always a double joy for parents, although worries and cash costs are also doubled. Good state support is a good help, especially if you know how to properly manage it.
Parents justifiably face the question: do they give maternity capital for twins? It would be a mistake to assume that for two kids the allowance is twice as much. According to the law, twins are given a certificate only once - for one second child, and this does not depend on which child was born second. The same if three or more children were born at a time.

Capital indexation

According to the law, since 2007, maternal capital, if twins were born, is subject to indexation. If in 2007 the cash payment amounted to 250,000.00 rudders, then in 2015 the maternity capital for the first twins is given in the amount of 453 026,00 rubles.

Due to negative phenomena in the economy, the indexation of capital for subsequent years may decrease and reach an average of 4.4% or 3%.

Terms of issuing state support

If you are going to get maternity capital at the birth of twins, there are a number of options:

1. A person with Russian citizenship, mother or father has the right to do this. When submitting documents for registration after the birth of twins, triplets or adoption of a second child, a document proving your citizenship is required.
2. A born or adopted child in whose name the payment is made must have the citizenship of the Russian Federation. Registration of a child as a citizen of the Russian Federation is carried out at the Federal Migration Service.
3. One child, twins or triplets must be born no earlier than April 1, 2007 and no later than December 31, 2016.

Who is eligible to receive?

The maternity capital at the birth of twins is subject to the same rules as for obtaining capital for one child. A mother who has given birth to a second child or two or more children at a time can count on this payment. But there are cases when the father of the child or the child himself can count on this benefit, provided:

1. The mother of the child has lost its ability to receive benefits.
2. The father is the unequivocal adoptive parent of the second child or twins.
3. The child himself can count on the payment, provided that the mother and father do not have the right to raise children.

Both the mother, the father, and the child themselves are given the opportunity to pay. The priority is the mother, then the father, then the child himself. In 2015, this list and the conditions for obtaining a certificate will remain unchanged.

Clearance Payment

Even if the second birth is twins, maternal capital is supposed to be issued in the same way as for one child. To do this, you must personally or by proxy come to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

You will need the following documents:

1. Originals and copies of the passport of the beneficiary with personal data.
2. Originals and copies of birth certificates for twins, as well as birth certificates of other children in the family. In case of adoption of children from the baby's home - a certificate from the court.
3. SNILS of the one who claims to receive a cash payment, and SNILS of children. You can get a pension certificate right there, at the Pension Fund, before applying.
4. The original and a copy of the certificate of marriage of parents, one of which claims to receive benefits. If there is no official marriage, then a certificate of adoption of twins. If there is neither one nor the other, then this point is omitted.If several marriages were made, then provide documents on termination of unions and certificates from the registry office confirming the conclusion of previous marriages.
5. Documents proving the existence of citizenship by the mother or father, who apply for maternity capital, and children who are citizens of Russia.

2. It also adds: a certificate of the mother’s loss of the right to raise children, or a document confirming the mother’s lack of citizenship of the Russian Federation, or a certificate of her death.

1. Your birth certificate.
2. Help from the place of registration.
3. Documents confirming the death of the mother, father or guardian, or a certificate of deprivation of the right to education.
