In 2017, the practice of increasing child benefits and other social payments annually from February 1, based on the actual inflation indicators for the previous year, was finally fixed. This became possible thanks to the work of the Government to reduce the growth rate of consumer prices, due to the high rates of which a year earlier, it became necessary for the first time to suspend the current procedure for indexing payments, benefits and compensations that had developed over the previous decade.
ATTENTION - NEWS AND CHANGES!
Read about all the main changes in the procedure for payments, types and amounts of child benefits in Russia in 2018 in the new material on our website:
→ Child benefits in 2018 ←
At the same time, this does not apply to maternity capital in 2017. Its amount will remain at the current level 453026 rubles not only for another year, but will be maintained until at least January 1, 2020, according to the new government capital freeze law dated December 19, 2016 No. 444-FZ, adopted together with the law on the federal budget for the next three years dated December 19, 2016 No. 415-FZ.
Indexation of benefits in 2017 (table)
For the second year in a row, the amount of child benefits provided for by federal law "On State Benefits for Citizens with Children" dated May 19, 1995, No. 81-FZ, is being revised with the aim of increasing the amount of payments not from January 1 of the new year, as was first established in 2008, but from February 1, 2017 by the actual inflation rate, which, according to the official data of Rosstat, amounted to only 5.4% (a record low figure in the entire modern Russian history).
Attention
Compared to 2015 last year, price growth decreased by more than 2 times - then annual inflation, according to Rosstat, was 12.9%, which for the first time in recent history made it impossible to fully index not only benefits and maternity capital, but also insurance and social pensions. By the way, in 2017 the Government also promises to fully index pensions by 5.4%.
Also, in accordance with the law of December 19, 2016 No. 460-FZ, from July 1, 2017, the minimum wage (minimum wage) will be indexed - from the current 7,500 rubles. up to 7800 rub.(4% indexation). The minimum amount of maternity benefits will be indexed by the corresponding amount in the middle of the year.
Based on these inputs, the following can be calculated child allowance increase table in 2017.

In 2017, the calculation of maternity benefits will be determined by the following changes:
- Average earnings for calculating social insurance benefits (pregnancy and childbirth, child care) will be calculated based on the wages actually accrued to the woman for the previous two full years - 2015 and 2016. In this regard, together with the salary taken into account, the following changes:
- marginal base for calculating insurance premiums (respectively 670 thousand rubles for 2015 and 718 thousand rubles. for 2016), which determines the maximum amount of social insurance benefits in 2017;
- the duration of the billing period accepted for calculating the average daily earnings ( 731 days excluding exception periods instead of the traditional 730 days, since the leap year 2016 is now included in the calculations).
- Minimum wage (SMIC), used in calculations to determine the minimum maternity benefits if the insurance period at the time the woman goes on maternity leave does not exceed 6 months, will be:
- 7500 rub.- during the first half of the year;
- 7800 rub.— from July 1, 2017.
- Increased since February 1, 2017 minimum and fixed amounts of child benefits(see table above), in particular:
- the minimum monthly allowance for the care of a child up to 1.5 years ( 3065,69 rub. for the first child and RUB 6131.37- on the second and subsequent), used to assign payments or working at low official wages;
- a fixed amount of maternity benefit for women officially recognized as unemployed no later than one year after their dismissal due to the liquidation of the organization ( RUB 613.14 based on one month of sick leave from February 1).

Since the duration of the payment of this allowance exceeds 1 year, the annual indexation in one way or another may be relevant to every Russian family raising a child under 1.5 years old. However, the recalculation of the amount of the benefit after the conduct will be due only if the payment was assigned in the minimum fixed amount, which is the case in two main cases:
- when receiving a monthly allowance up to 1.5 years non-working parent(mother or father) (OSZN, USZN, etc.);
- when paying benefits in the form of social insurance to those working at the place of work or in the Social Insurance Fund (FSS) with low wages(not exceeding the minimum wage at the birth of the first child and less than 15 thousand rubles when caring for the second and subsequent ones).

The amount of maternity capital in 2017
The amount in 2017 will not change - its size will again be 453026 rubles. The last time the size of the certificate was increased since January 1, 2015 (by 5.5% from the previous 429.4 to the current 453 thousand rubles), i.е. in fact, families with children have been dealing with the so-called freezing of maternity capital.
Therefore, families can completely forget about indexing the certificate for the next 3 years. The need to freeze the size of the mother's capital from 2017 to 2020, the Government associates with the following main circumstances:
- in the federal budget
As you know, "children" are benefits that are accrued upon the birth of a child. As stated in the “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children”, child benefits include:
- allowance for contacting a consultation and registration at an early stage of pregnancy (up to 12 weeks);
- a one-time allowance at the birth of a child (on the basis of a certificate from the maternity hospital);
- monthly allowance for caring for a child up to the age of 1.5 years;
- maternity allowance (sick leave payment);
A woman who has given birth to a child receives all the listed benefits from the employer. Everyone needs to know the principle of accrual, as well as the upper and lower levels of child benefits - both managers and mothers themselves.
Increasing child benefits in 2019
It must be remembered that from January 1, 2019, the minimum wage was increased to 11,280 rubles, which affected all types of benefits.
This year, "children's" benefits, according to , have increased since February 1, 2019 - by a factor of 1.043. This means that in January benefits remained at the same level, and changed only in February.
And now - attention: look at how benefits have changed at the beginning of 2019:
- Allowance for registration up to 12 weeks: from January 1, 2019, a woman received - 628.47 rubles, from February 1, 2019 she began to receive - 628.47 rubles. × 1.043 = 655.49 rubles.
This allowance is paid only once. It is for women who:
- registered with medical institutions up to 12 weeks of pregnancy and provided a relevant certificate;
- are entitled to maternity benefits ().
If a certificate of registration is provided later than 12 weeks, then the allowance is paid within ten days after the grant, provided that the application for the allowance followed no later than 6 months after the end of the maternity leave ().
- Lump-sum allowance at the birth of a child: from January 1, 2019, a woman received - 16,759.09 rubles, from February 1, 2019 she began to receive - 16,759.09 rubles. × 1.043 = 17,479.73 rubles
- The minimum monthly allowance for caring for a second child and subsequent children up to 1.5 years old: from January 1, 2019, a woman received - 6,284.65 rubles, from February 1, 2019 she began to receive - 6,284.65 rubles. × 1.043 = 6,554.89 rubles
- Monthly allowance for caring for a child up to the age of 1.5 years: depends on the minimum wage. If the average monthly salary does not exceed the minimum wage, then the allowance is calculated in the amount of 40% of the minimum wage. It is worth considering that from January 1, 2019, the minimum wage increased to 11,280 rubles, as a result of which the minimum amount of the allowance for caring for the first child also changed. Now it is 11,280 rubles. × 40% = 4,512 rubles.
For 2019, the maximum monthly allowance for child care is 26,152.33 rubles. (maximum possible average earnings 65,380.82 rubles × 40%).
Note that when calculating this allowance, certain criteria have been legislatively developed, their levels in 2019 are as follows:
- at the birth of the first child, the lower criterion - from January 1, 2019 was 3,142.33 rubles, from February 1, 2019 it is 3,277.45 rubles.
- at the birth of a second and subsequent child, the lower criterion - from January 1, 2019 was 6,284.65 rubles, from February 1, 2019 it is 6,554.89 rubles.
- the upper criterion for employees - from January 1, 2019 - 26,152.27 rubles, from February 1, 2019 - has not changed and also amounts to 26,152.27 rubles.
5. Payment for pregnancy and childbirth ("maternity"): the basis for it is the sick leave from the medical institution submitted by the woman, and the calculation is made on the basis of real earnings for the period of time in the previous two years (that is, 2018 and 2017).
The amount of benefits is calculated from the number of days of sick leave. They are valid from January 1, 2019. The February indexation did not affect them.
Minimum size for employed women:
- RUB 51,919 - with a standard vacation duration (140 days);
- RUB 57,852.6 - in case of premature birth (156 days of vacation);
- RUB 71,944.9 - with multiple pregnancy (194 days of vacation)
Maximum allowance for working women:
- RUB 301,095.02 - with a standard duration of the decree (140 days);
- RUB 335,506.08 - for 156 days of vacation;
- RUB 417,231.92 – in case of multiple pregnancy (194 vacation days)
The above allowance is paid to women once upon presentation of sick leave.
Maternity leave of a woman and the calculation of its payment
The rules for calculating maternity leave in 2019 have not changed: as before, you need to take into account the employee's income for the previous two years, and the salary is taken in full, with personal income tax.
To calculate the benefit, the annual amount of income must not exceed the maximum value of the base for paying contributions to the FSS:
- RUB 718,000 - in 2017;
- RUB 755,000 - in 2018;
- RUB 815,000 - in 2019.
To calculate the amount of an employee's actual average daily earnings, use the formula:
Average daily earnings \u003d Earnings for the previous 2 years / Actual number of calendar days in the billing period - Number of days excluded from the billing period
When using the formula, keep in mind that:
- for calculation, earnings for the previous two years are taken, which are subject to contributions;
- there are 731 days in a leap year, therefore, the actual number of calendar days in the billing period can be 730 days, 731 days and 732 days (if both years turn out to be leap years when changing years of choice). However, 2017 and 2018 are "normal" non-leap years.
So, the lower limit of daily earnings for calculating maternity leave in 2019 is 370.85 rubles.
And the upper limit of daily earnings is 2,150.68 rubles. Calculated according to the formula: (755,000 rubles + 815,000 rubles): 730 days, where 755,000 rubles. - the maximum earnings from which the allowance is calculated in 2017; and 815,000 rubles. - the maximum earnings from which the allowance is calculated in 2018.
In 2019, the maximum maternity benefit will be calculated as follows:
- with normal childbirth: 2150.68 rubles × 140 days = 301,095.20 rubles;
- with complicated childbirth: 2150.68 rubles. × 156 days = 335,506.08 rubles;
- with complicated multiple births: 2150.68 rubles. × 194 days = 417,231.92 rubles
The allowance is paid in the amount of 100% regardless of the insurance period of the employee, but on condition that it exceeds 6 months.
It happens that in the billing period a woman was already on maternity or parental leave. Then the corresponding calendar years can be replaced by previous calendar years at her request, if this "replacement" will increase the amount of benefits ().
The minimum amount of maternity
As you know, the minimum amount of maternity pay directly depends on the size of the minimum wage. Since from January 1 of this year the minimum wage has increased to 11,280 rubles, then you need to calculate the minimum average earnings as follows: 11,280 rubles. × 24 months / 730 days = RUB 370.85
Do not forget that earlier, in 2018, the minimum wage changed several times and amounted to: from January 1 to April 30, 2018 - 9,489 rubles, and from May 1 to December 31, 2018 - 11,163 rubles.
The minimum maternity allowance is for those whose insurance period does not reach 6 months, who had earnings below the minimum or had no earnings at all in the billing period.
Now let's calculate the minimum maternity benefit from February 2019:
- with a sick leave duration of 140 days: 370.85 rubles. × 140 days = 51,919 rubles;
- with a sick leave duration of 156 days: 370.85 rubles. × 156 days = 57,852.60 rubles;
- with a sick leave duration of 194 days: 370.85 rubles. × 194 days = RUB 71,944.90
Do I need to recalculate the allowance up to 1.5 years?
This question can be answered unequivocally - no. The general rule is that the allowance for caring for a child under 1.5 years old is assigned once and only on the start date of the vacation.
The allowance will need to be recalculated if, after February 1, 2019, the employee left the parental leave for at least one day and then went on vacation again. This time she will leave with a new calculation.
Plans to increase child care allowance
From 2020, the allowance for caring for a child aged 1.5 to 3 years will be significantly increased. At least such intentions were announced by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Now women on maternity leave after the child reaches the age of 1.5 years receive a monthly payment of 50 rubles.
Officials believe that the allowance should not just be increased - it should be targeted, that is, paid to those who need it.
Also, according to Medvedev, the issue of increasing the period of maternity leave counted in the length of service from 1.5 to 3 years needs additional discussion. First of all, it is necessary to weigh both the financial and social aspects of this idea, he noted.
Maternity capital in 2019
The amount of maternity capital for the second child this year has not changed and amounted to 453,026 rubles. The last increase in the certificate took place four years ago, and since then the amount has not changed.
The next indexation of maternity capital is planned only from January 1, 2020 - up to 470,241 rubles. And the federal program itself will operate at least until the end of 2021.
What changed:
- Signed, which changed the period for the Pension Fund to make a decision on issuing a certificate - from 1 month to 15 days.
- Previously, maternity capital was allowed to be spent on preschool education of a child, that is, now there is no need to wait until he is three years old. And for the second child born after January 1, 2018, it is allowed to issue a monthly cash benefit from maternity capital.
The other day, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev approved an initiative to use maternity capital funds for the construction of a residential building for permanent residence in a summer cottage (that is, it should be a permanent building). According to him, it is necessary to change the relevant norms and allow the spending of maternity capital for these purposes.
Maternity Calculator
You can easily and free of charge calculate the amount of payments using a special maternity calculator. Just fill in the form with the data from the sick leave or information about the child and the duration of the vacation, indicate the information about the employee's earnings for the last two years (or previous years - if replacing years) - and find out the amount of the benefit. If there is a regional coefficient, do not forget to mark it in the maternity calculator.
The Ministry of Labor has developed a new draft resolution stating that child benefits and compensation accruals will be set at an increased amount - 3,2%. Implementation of indexation growth is scheduled for February 2018.
On the contrary, within three years it will remain unchanged, today it is RUB 453,000
In the fall of 2017, the Ministry of Labor announced that in the new year, all income and property of citizens will be taken into account for the accrual of funds. Thanks to this, it will be easier for the regions to assess the need of Russians for financial assistance.
Such changes in the law will help to conduct more thorough background checks, since many unemployed families work illegally or receive money in cash, but at the same time they are included in the category of “low-income families”.
Particular attention is paid to the program to support large families, since the appearance of a third and subsequent children very often shakes the family budget, and parents are not able to provide the child with comfortable living conditions and quality education.
Payouts
| Name | Amount in 2017 | Amount in 2018 |
| One-time allowance at the birth of a child | 16 300 rubles | 16 800 rubles |
| B&R manual | 100% of average income, but no less 34 500 rubles | 100% of the average salary, but not less 43 600 rubles |
| Child care payments | 3000 rubles– unemployed, for the second, third and subsequent children – 6100 rubles | 3700 rubles, for the second, third and subsequent children - 6300 rubles |
| Payments for the child of military parents | 11 000 rubles | 11400 rubles |
| Allowances for the wife of a military man | 25 800 rubles | 26 700 rubles |
Interesting fact: from the beginning of the new year, the law on indexation will come into force. The figure will gradually increase to the subsistence level in 2019. To date, the figure has already been increased by 21.7%, and the minimum wage is about 9,400 rubles. Child benefits directly depend on this amount.
Labor law provides for the financing of citizens due to pregnancy and childbirth. Cash accruals are carried out both before childbirth and after.
In 2018, pregnant women expect some changes:
- the maximum average salary when calculating maternity leave should not be more than a fixed amount of cash contributions (see). In the case of going on sick leave and the birth of children in two years, divided by 730 (the number of days in a year);
- only the last two years worked (2016 and 2017) are taken into account;
- given that the minimum wage in 2018 will be increased, it means that the size of the minimum benefits will also increase.
The minimum allowance in 2018 will be as follows:
- In case of successful gestation and easy childbirth, the woman will receive 43 600 rub. and 140 days of maternity leave.
- If the pregnancy was in jeopardy or the birth was complicated, the vacation will be extended for 16 days, and the amount of maternity leave will be 47 600 rubles.
- In the event of the birth of two or more children, a woman is entitled to 56 900 rub. and 194 days of maternity leave.
The size of the allowance for the birth of a child in 2017 practically did not differ from the current one.
Documents for applying for child benefits in 2017-2018
Upon the birth of a child, a woman is entitled to a one-time allowance in the amount of 16 300 rub., and it must be issued within six months after childbirth.
You need to apply for registration at the personnel department (if the woman is officially employed), in other situations - at the social service department. Full-time students apply for newborn allowances at the dean's office of their educational institution.
It's important to know! If a woman does not have a permanent job, she needs to register with the employment service. Otherwise, the registration of funds will be impossible, since the person is not registered anywhere.
One-time benefits at the birth of a child amounted to 16 300 rubles in 2017 to date 16 800 rub. In the event of the birth of several children, funds are credited to the name of the mother or father in the amount 50 000 rub. You can apply for the allowance at the territorial office of the USZN, having previously collected the following list of documents:
- a statement from one of the parents with a request for the provision of "children's" payments;
- identity document (photocopy);
- birth certificate of children;
- a document confirming that the newborns live in the same territory as their biological parents;
- benefits are accrued no later than six months after the children were born.
Childcare benefits in 2018
Officially employed citizens are entitled to childcare payments based on the amount of wages, namely - 40% from her.
The first-born in the family relies on about 3 700 rubles, for each next - 6 300 rubles. Maximum amount - 24 500 rubles.
If the organization in which the mother worked ceased to exist before the expiration of maternity leave, the citizen has the right to apply to the social service for payments, but in this case the maximum amount will be only 12 200 rub.
Interesting fact: Not only the biological mother, but also close relatives of the child (father, grandmother) can apply for maternity leave and benefits for caring for a newborn, while the amount of accruals will remain unchanged.
Maternity leave can legally be extended up to three years. But there are some nuances here. The fact is that payments are accrued only for a year and a half, the next year and a half are not taken into account. This means that the woman will receive only compensatory 50 rubles from the employer and not a penny more. Therefore, most women prefer to go to work as soon as possible and not wait until the child is three years old.
Interesting fact: In the fall of 2017, government officials proposed introducing a one-time allowance for children who did not get a place in a kindergarten. The amount of compensation was supposed to be about 3,000 rubles. To this day, this idea is still under consideration.
If the newborn has a disability
Additional payments are provided for children born with physical limitations or disabilities, disabled people:
- The amount of financial assistance is 11 900 rubles.
- Monthly payments - 1 400 rubles.
- Monthly payments to a non-working parent - 5 500 rubles.
Social payments:
- State assistance for the purchase of medicines – approx. 800 rub/month
- Vouchers to recreational organizations - 120 000 rubles.
- Financing of travel in public places – approx. 100 rub/month.
- Matkapital - 453,000 rubles.
- Privileges: 12 000 rubles- parents, 6 000 rubles- adoptive parents.
As a conclusion to the article, consider the sensational issue of financial assistance to young mothers (see P). In the spring of 2017, a rumor was launched on the network that mothers under the age of 35 would receive state assistance in the amount of 250 000 rubles. This news has not yet received official confirmation, but it is not difficult to guess that it is false, since the main motivation for adding to the family is maternity capital. As long as the mother capital exists, compensation in the amount 250 000 rubles give nothing.
A new family dreams of their first child and a natural question that arises in a young family is the question of what financial assistance they are entitled to at the birth of their first child, and also about what benefits they can count on from the state?
Answering the question of how much money they give for the first child in 2017, first of all we will talk about the state financial support that they are entitled to by law. And the law provides for a lump sum payment, as well as a monthly allowance. Moreover, if this is the family of a serviceman, then the allowance will be paid in an increased form with a coefficient of 1.5. And if we are talking about a single mom, then with a coefficient of 2. (That is, in double size). That is, the amount of payments for the first child will be different and this is due to the social status of young parents that they have. Speaking about the types of payments for the first child, these are various lump-sum benefits, monthly payments, and they are provided both in the form of cash payments and in the form of non-monetary forms of social support.
Early pregnancy benefit for first child
The pregnant woman will receive a one-time allowance in the amount of 613 rubles 14 kopecks in the early period of pregnancy after being registered in the antenatal clinic. This allowance is additional to the basic allowance for pregnancy and childbirth.
If a woman is entitled to a basic maternity allowance, then it is quite legitimate that she can count on additional payments in early pregnancy.
This type of benefit is due to all women who have an insurance policy and citizenship of the Russian Federation, a sick leave certificate and are registered for pregnancy up to 12 weeks. A pregnant woman who registers on time will not only be able to receive the specified financial assistance, but will also minimize all medical risks and complications during pregnancy, since early observation will undoubtedly contribute to a successful pregnancy and normal delivery.
Where can I apply for child support?
If a woman is officially employed, then you need to apply for the appointment of benefits early in the personnel department and accounting department at work. If at the time of pregnancy the woman did not have an employment relationship, then for benefits you need to apply to the department of social protection of the population at the place of registration.
What documents are required for the first child allowance?
It is necessary to write an appropriate application for benefits, obtain a medical document at the antenatal clinic.
Maternity allowance for the first child
All working maternity benefits are paid in the amount of the average wage calculated for the period of the last two years, and if the average wage is lower than the minimum wage, then it will be paid in the amount of the minimum wage.
Those who do not have official earnings, the maternity allowance for the first child consists of a monthly payment in the amount of 613 rubles 14 kopecks. Pregnant students are provided with benefits in the amount of scholarships they receive. The duration of the payment of maternity benefits is the entire period of maternity leave, which consists of two periods: the period before childbirth and the period after childbirth. The allowance is paid for 140 days, of which half of the period is before childbirth, the other half is after childbirth.
The duration of payment of the maternity benefit is extended up to 194 days if there is a multiple pregnancy or a pregnancy with complications.
The amount of the maternity benefit in 2017 varies from 34,520 rubles to 265,827.
After the birth of the first child, the family receives a monthly allowance in 2017 until the baby is 1.5 years old.
One-time payment for the first child
For the birth of the first child, a one-time payment determined by law is due. This type of government incentive is undoubtedly aimed at stimulating the birth rate in the country. This payment is paid by the Social Insurance Fund. Both working and non-working young parents can receive a lump sum payment. Why do you need to collect and submit documents to the department of social protection of the population at the place of residence no later than when the first-born is six months old. The said incentive in 2017 is 16,350 rubles.
Paid postnatal leave
While the first child grows up, his mother is given parental leave. The maximum period of such leave is 3 years, of which the first 18 months are paid. Paid postpartum leave is financed by the employer in the amount of 40 percent of the average salary of an employee and cannot be less than the minimum wage (3,065 rubles 69 kopecks).
Non-cash benefits for first child
In addition to financial assistance, in connection with the birth of the first child, parents are entitled to various benefits and privileges in the form of in-kind assistance and tax deductions. In addition, there are social measures of regional support for families who have given birth to their first child. Regional payments are accepted by the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and their financing is carried out from regional and municipal budgets. They are different in different territories, so the amount of such payments must be specified in the regional departments of social protection of the population.
