The parental benefit for the second child is of great interest. And here, oddly enough, quite a lot of various payments. They are aimed at supporting families with several children. What relies on parents who have given birth to a second baby? What documents should they provide for the preparation of benefits? And anyway, is it worth it? Sometimes the payments are so small that you should not even think about them.
If necessary?
The allowance for a second child is a good incentive to increase demographics in Russia. Just before agreeing to such a crucial step, many parents think: is the game worth the candle? Maybe the incentive is not so big?
Yes this is true. In times of crisis, all families cannot be helped. Especially in full size. But it’s better to get at least something at the birth of the second baby than nothing at all. Therefore, you will have to draw up an allowance for the second child. Practice shows that now all parents do this. And this is the right decision. Do not neglect the opportunities that the state gives you.
Capital
The main advantage that many parents are interested in when giving birth to their second baby is the so-called maternal capital. Now the terms of its issuance have been extended to 2017. That is, if you are expected to replenish the family, you can count on a decent monetary compensation. A kind of support that parents can spend on improving their living conditions, educating the child, as well as increasing their mother’s pension.
Maternity capital is a second child benefit that will be paid at a time. But you can not use it immediately, but only after reaching the 3-year-old age of the baby. By the way, the government is now discussing lowering the bar and expanding the possibilities for using capital. How much is this payout? In 2016, due to the crisis, it was not indexed. And so now for the second baby you will receive 453,026 rubles. Quite an impressive amount. Especially if you need to improve your living conditions.
At birth
In addition, there is a lump sum for a child. It is paid to all women, regardless of whether the expectant mother worked or not. This is a kind of encouragement, stimulating an increase in demographics in the country. True, not too big. At the moment, the child allowance for the second child at birth is 14,497 rubles and 80 kopecks. If you have worked before, you will have to contact the accounting department of your organization. Otherwise, go to the social security authorities. If you provide the relevant documents, you will be given the indicated amount. But hurry up - only 6 months will be given for the implementation of the request from the moment the baby is born.
Care
In addition, there is a second child care allowance. Honestly, no one can tell you the exact amount. After all, it all depends on many factors. For example, whether the mother worked during and before pregnancy or not. In any case, if a second child appears in the family, his mother receives benefits up to 1.5 years. The minimum payment amount is 5,436 rubles 67 kopecks. In general, the amount is calculated depending on your income for the year preceding the birth of the baby. 40% of the pay is taken. In principle, there is nothing special about this. Getting a monthly child allowance is not so difficult. And all parents are constantly engaged in its design.
Up to 3 years
But the monthly allowance for a child aged 1.5 to 3 years is not very happy.Nevertheless, it is still drawn up. Any, no, but help from the state. True, the amount here is already ridiculous. It is no secret to anyone that the allowance for a child under 3 years old (for the first) is 50 rubles per month. Funny, is not it?
The most interesting thing is that the same rule applies to the second baby. It turns out that the allowance for caring for a second child after one and a half years almost does not make sense. Until this time, you will receive a decent amount, and after a certain period - a minuscule amount. Sometimes running around with papers and upholstering thresholds simply makes no sense for the sake of 50 rubles a month. So, not everyone is interested in the design of this type of manual.
For a one-time payment
And now what to do after the baby is born? Parents who first gave birth to one child, and then the second, most likely remember exactly how they submitted the documents for registration of benefits. What to do for those who do not know how this process goes?
Benefits for the birth of a second child, as a rule, do not require any special documents. For example, in order to make a maternity payment (it is fixed and the same for the first baby and the second), you need to bring the following list of documents to the accounting department at your place of work or to the social protection authorities:
- certificate of registration from the registry office;
- passports of parents (with copies);
- birth certificate (+ copy);
- certificate from the work of parents that the allowance was not assigned earlier.
In principle, that’s all. Above all, do not forget to make copies of all documents. Without them, you will receive a request, but then you will have to convey the missing elements. In some cases, particularly "harmful" employees are able to refuse to accept documents for processing benefits. Wrong, but such a practice does occur.
Monthly payments
But the monthly allowance for a child requires a greater variety of documents. Yes, getting them is not so difficult, but sometimes the list is scary. In any case, knowing what is required of you is necessary. So, if you want to draw up a monthly allowance for the second child, prepare the following list of documents:
- passport (needed from both parents);
- birth certificates of all children;
- certificate of non-payment of unemployment benefits;
- employment record (if any);
- certificate of work / study of the second parent;
- bank account number for accruals;
- certificate of family composition.
After that, it is enough to apply to the accounting department at your place of work or to the social service. Remember that all documents will have to be photocopied. Without them, you may refuse to accept the application. Yes, this is not entirely legal, but there is such a prospect. Especially in Russia. Keep this in mind. It is better to worry in advance that you have all the documents with copies. This will protect you from most problems.
For capital
A simpler process is to obtain maternity capital. In any case, parents say so. Allowances for the birth of a second child already require enormous preparation. This rule does not apply only to maternal capital. Unlike all other stimulations, this payment is made after applying to the Pension Fund at the place of your registration. And of course, if you have a certain list of documents with copies. Unlike the monthly allowance, the list is very small. This includes:
- statement of established form;
- passports of parents;
- birth certificates of children.
After you collect the full package of necessary papers, it is enough to contact the Pension Fund for registration of maternity capital. You may also be asked for more SNILS, as well as the number of the personal account (separate), on which the payment will be charged. It’s better to prepare all this in advance. It is not known exactly when exactly this kind of information will have to be presented - each Pension Fund has its own unwritten rules.Therefore, so that children do not have to constantly "drag" back and forth, it is enough to prepare from the very beginning and present all possible documents to the appropriate authorities.
Summary
As you can see, there is nothing difficult in our today's question. Pregnant women, as well as mothers with one or more children, are entitled to at least some benefits. In principle, if a woman wants to immediately go to work, then all payments can be received either by a close relative (grandparents of the baby) or spouse. In Russia, this is not a rare practice. In any case, the list of documents will not change. If you prepare correctly and in a timely manner, then you can literally draw up all benefits in two days and wait for their payments. Honestly, it's best to start the process as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, in times of crisis, there is no indexation of benefits for the second and subsequent children. The first-born, this also applies. And so far no increase in payments is expected. Nevertheless, it is better to enjoy what is. It’s better than not getting anything from the state, right?
Now we understand how you can apply for benefits for the second child, what they are, what their size is. Practice shows that this issue most often worries unemployed women - for them, usually payments are fixed. But those who built a career, not so important benefits. Such citizens know for sure: the higher their income was, the more deductions will now be.
