Benefits for unemployed people

Changes in payments from 2020

In 2022, families for their first and second child will be able to receive payments until they turn 3 years old. The amounts of all other child and pregnancy benefits will increase, since from 2022 the minimum wage amount has increased to 12,130 rubles. New rules for compensation payments:

Parents of children born after January 1, 2022 will be paid monthly payments if the average family income does not exceed two minimum wages established in their region of residence. In this case, the minimum wage for the second quarter of the previous year is taken as a basis. In 2022, these benefits were received only by those families whose average income was less than 1.5 times the minimum income. Now the number of families applying for payments and meeting the conditions will be many times greater.
In 2022, payments for children will be received until they reach the age of 3. But to qualify for these benefits, you need annual proof of income for all family members. Payments for the first child are issued by the social protection authorities, and for the second - by the Pension Fund. When calculating the amount of cash assistance, the cost of living for children in the second quarter of the previous year is taken as a basis.

In 2022, payments were issued only for children up to the age of 1.5 years.

One-time benefit for the birth of a child

This is a one-time payment provided to one of the parents. When two or more children are born, this benefit is paid for each child. If the child was stillborn, no benefits are provided.

Methods of obtaining:

paid by the employer if the woman is employed;
paid to the employed father of the child if the woman is not employed;
is paid by the USZN if the parents are not officially employed.

The benefit amount in 2022 was 17,479 rubles 73 kopecks.

What other innovations came into force in 2022

Innovations for other payments for children, which were adopted by legislators and have already entered into force in 2022:

Raising the minimum income . The minimum wage has increased since 2022, and on its basis the amount of other benefits, for example, for pregnancy and childbirth, is calculated. This year, the lowest average daily income, which is taken as the basis for calculating benefits, is 398.79 rubles, and last year this amount was 370.85 rubles.
New maximum average income. The maximum amount of financial assistance for pregnant and postpartum women is also increasing. For 2019 and 2022, the highest insurance premiums were 865 and 815 thousand rubles. Based on these numbers, the average daily maximum income will be 2301.37 rubles. The largest benefit during maternity leave will be 322,191.80 rubles. In 2022, the maximum benefit was 21 thousand rubles less.

Also, from February 1, 2022, the amounts of other fixed payments will change. They depend on the coefficient, which this year is 1030.

Who is eligible to receive benefits?

Unemployed pregnant women do not receive benefits from the state. But there are several conditions under which an unemployed pregnant Russian woman will be able to receive financial assistance from the budget:

Women who were fired due to the cessation of the company's activities or the complete liquidation of the employer's company can count on maternity payments;
benefits are paid to girls who are studying full-time in secondary specialized, vocational or higher educational institutions.

In all other cases, unemployed women are not paid benefits.

The amount of payments to an unemployed pregnant woman depends on individual conditions and the income she currently receives:

Conditions	Payment amount
Upon dismissal due to termination of the enterprise, as well as former notaries and lawyers	300 rubles per month
When studying full-time	In the amount of the scholarship

This procedure and types of payments are approved in Articles 6 and 8 of Federal Law No. 81.

Conditions of receipt

In order to receive payments for a small child to expectant mothers who are unemployed, the following conditions must be met:

must be declared unemployed;
provide a package of relevant documents to the social security authorities;
be citizens of the Russian Federation.

These three conditions are mandatory and must be met by every woman who is temporarily unemployed or has unemployed status.

Where to apply for payments to the unemployed

In order for a non-working woman to receive maternity benefits, she must contact the social security department at her place of residence. Full-time students must visit the accounting office at their place of study.

To apply for maternity leave and benefits, you must submit the following documents:

a statement written by hand or with a handwritten signature;
sick leave, which is filled out by a medical institution according to established requirements;
an extract from the work book, if available, indicating the last place of work;
confirmation from the tax office that the enterprise has been liquidated or the individual entrepreneur has ceased work;
a document confirming the fact of absence of work, it is provided at the employment center;
a certificate from an educational institution stating that the pregnant student is a full-time student.

After submitting the documentation, the institution reviews the application and attached papers. Before the expiration of 10 days, a decision is made on the accrual of payments or refusal if the papers contain errors.

Women who were fired due to the liquidation of the company are paid maternity benefits by postal order or into a bank account. To do this, in the text of the application you will need to indicate the bank card number or bank account where to transfer the money. The deadline for receiving payments is the 26th of the next month.

general information

According to current legislation, every woman in a position can receive various types of benefits if she is a citizen of the Russian Federation.
In this case, all programs are conditionally divided into three categories:

for workers;
for unemployed people;
as part of medical care.

The latter apply to both working and non-working women. As part of health care, pregnant women are provided with a number of privileges and benefits that they can use.

Important! The main document giving the right to benefits and allowances is a certificate from a medical consultation. If a woman does not register, then she does not have rights to benefits.

Federal benefits for all women in 2022

Benefits for children and pregnant women are paid from the federal and regional budgets. All Russians can count on federal payments, while regional ones are set by local authorities for residents of their territorial district.

Federal payments and benefits that pregnant women and postpartum women receive:

When registering up to 12 weeks - 675 rubles from February 1, 2022. These payments should motivate young mothers to register with the antenatal clinic as early as possible to monitor the health of the baby and the expectant mother. This amount is fixed, it is the same for residents of the entire country.
Maternity payments - in the amount of 100% of average income. Working young mothers are given maternity benefits when they provide sick leave. The duration of maternity leave depends on several parameters. Such as the complexity of childbirth or postpartum consequences, surgical intervention, the number of children born at the same time. Sick leave for childbirth can last from 140 to 194 days.
Payments at birth - 18,004 rubles from February 1, 2020. This is a benefit for one child. If twins are born, the amount is doubled; if triplets are born, the amount is tripled, that is, the amount is paid for each child born.
Payments to the wives of military personnel - 28,511 rubles from February 1, 2022. You can apply for this payment if your pregnancy is at least 180 days old. After the end of the spouse’s service, the woman in labor has the right to apply for payments within 6 months.
Maternity capital - 453,025 rubles for children born after January 1, 2007. This benefit was adopted to improve the demographic situation and stimulate childbearing in Russia, since payments are issued only after the birth of a second child.

An officially unemployed pregnant woman will be able to qualify for all types of payments listed, except for the second, if the described conditions are met.

Monthly payments

In addition to the payments listed in the previous section, women can receive:

Payments for child care up to 1.5 years old - 40% of average income for the last 2 years. But, as when calculating maternity payments, the average minimum and maximum amount is calculated for them.
Compensation for children under 3 years old is in the amount of the subsistence minimum for the second quarter of the previous year.

These payments are financed from the budget of the Russian Federation. All mothers, including unemployed women, can receive them, but under certain conditions. The following are not entitled to payments from the state:

citizens of Russia, foreigners or stateless persons who have been deprived of their parental rights;
Russian citizens who have moved for permanent residence to another country;
foreigners, citizens of Russia or stateless persons whose children are supported entirely at the expense of public funds.

All other women who are not on this list may qualify for benefits. If the expectant mother is single, then she is provided with other types of government payments.

Which non-working women are not entitled to maternity benefits?

Maternity pay is a benefit for pregnancy and childbirth. The rules for assigning maternity benefits and the list of recipients of payments are listed in the following laws:

Federal Law No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995 “On state benefits for citizens with children”;
Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated September 29, 2020 No. 668n “On approval of the Procedure and conditions for the appointment and payment of state benefits to citizens with children.”

Russian legislation gives the right to maternity benefits only to officially employed women. The state compensates them for lost earnings for the entire period of maternity leave (in the amount of 100% of average income for the past 2 years). The duration of maternity leave is:

140 days – with a normal pregnancy;
156 days – for complicated childbirth;
184 days – for multiple pregnancy.

Why aren’t unemployed women entitled to maternity benefits? This is due to the order of their formation. Benefits are paid from the Social Insurance Fund through contributions made monthly by the employer. Unemployed people do not pay contributions to the Social Insurance Fund, so they are not entitled to maternity leave.

Maternity benefits are not provided:

a pregnant woman involved in a civil contract;
an employee who works unofficially and receives a salary “in an envelope”;
a woman who quit her job during pregnancy of her own free will;
self-employed and individual entrepreneurs (in some cases, individual entrepreneurs may receive maternity benefits).

True, a separate category of unemployed pregnant women has the right to receive maternity leave as an exception.

Regional payments

Each federal subject has its own regional benefits. In some regions, the government has established maternity capital for 2 and 3 children born after January 1, 2011. In the Moscow region, for example, the amount of this payment is 100 thousand rubles.

The authorities in Nizhny Novgorod also pay regional capital. It is received by families in which the second child was born after September 1, 2011. But the amount of this monetary compensation is less than in Moscow. It is 25 thousand rubles. And for the third and subsequent children, maternity capital increases to 100 thousand rubles. The procedure for receiving regional payments is established separately for each constituent entity of Russia.

Regional payments are assigned simultaneously with federal ones. Therefore, residents of the regions receive double subsidies from the state. However, not everywhere regional authorities decide on additional incentives for families.

Good afternoon, tell me, I have this question: I worked officially for two years and now I’ve been working for a year under a contract, not officially. I’m pregnant. Does it make sense to get a job for 5 months in order to receive all the payments and how will the money be calculated if they look at the last two years?

Anna Popovich

Dear Anastasia, getting a job would be the best option. It is likely that maternity benefits will be paid to you in a larger amount. The amount of payments will be calculated based on average earnings over the last two years. If you do not work officially, social security will provide you with payments. In this case, they will be equal to the cost of living in your region.

Good afternoon I came across information on the Internet that from June 2020, the amount of childcare benefits for children up to 1.5 years has been increased to 13.5 thousand for those who were left without work during maternity leave due to the liquidation of the organization. Is this true? I haven’t received a payment yet, but social security hasn’t answered this question.

Dear Alena, as a general rule, the amount of child care benefits is 40% of average earnings. In some cases, the payment is made in a fixed amount. From January 1, 2022, the maximum amount of care allowance is 29,600 rubles 48 kopecks. Mothers dismissed during pregnancy due to the liquidation of the organization are entitled to benefits in the specified amount. A social security employee will help you calculate the amount of benefits on the basis of Federal Law No. 255-FZ “On Compulsory Social Insurance in Case of Temporary Disability and in Connection with Maternity”, Federal Law No. 81-FZ “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children” and the Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 668n “On approval of the Procedure and conditions for the appointment and payment of state benefits to citizens with children.”

Dear Eleanor, even if you worked under a fixed-term employment contract and its term expires during pregnancy, your employer is obliged, upon written application and upon provision of a medical certificate confirming the state of pregnancy, to extend the term of the employment contract until the end of pregnancy, and if provided in the prescribed manner maternity leave - until the end of such leave. If you resign on other grounds, you can count on all payments that are not made at the expense of the employer.

Dear Natalya, mothers who are full-time students are paid from the funds of the Federal Social Insurance Fund of Russia, which are allocated to the educational institution in accordance with the established procedure. The benefit is accrued based on the application of the student mother and the decision of the educational institution to grant academic leave. The law does not establish a student’s obligation to take an academic course; this does not affect the payment of benefits.

Dear Antonina, if it is discovered that the receipt of social benefits for unemployment was groundless or that the order of receipt has been violated, the funds paid to the citizen must be returned. You can voluntarily return illegally received social payments by setting a deadline for repayment of the resulting debt. But if you refuse to repay the money, the employment service has the right to collect the debt in court.

Dear Alina, it is possible that in your region payments are provided for early registration. Contact your local social services office for advice.

Payments through social security before and after childbirth

If a woman is unemployed, she has two ways to apply for government assistance.

If she is an individual entrepreneur, then all payments are made by the Social Insurance Fund. In other cases, you need to contact the social security authorities.

Conditions for receiving EDV at the birth of a child

A one-time benefit under the BIR is provided by law only to officially employed women or students.

If a woman does not have a job, she can count on receiving a payment if:

was fired within a year;
the dismissal was carried out at the initiative of the employer or as a result of its bankruptcy;
the woman does not receive unemployment benefits.

The amount of benefit for an unemployed woman is different from that paid by the employer.

It depends on the woman's stipend or her earnings for a certain period. Registration can begin at 30 weeks of pregnancy or after the birth of the baby. The payment will still be made upon delivery, that is, after the birth.

Amount of monthly care payments

Both employed and unemployed women are entitled to maternity benefits, provided for the first 1.5 years after the birth of a baby.

If there is no official place of work, then you should contact the social security authorities at your place of residence.

In this case, the benefit amount cannot be calculated based on wages, so a fixed amount is used.

It is established at the legislative level, therefore it is indexed annually.

From May 2022, the amount of the monthly benefit for the first child is 4 thousand 465 rubles.
For the second and subsequent children, 6 thousand 284 rubles are paid.
If the benefit is issued through the employer, then 40% of the average monthly salary is calculated.

If the family is low-income, and the woman gave birth to a child in 2022, then you can apply for the “Putin Allowance”.

This is an additional payment that is provided regardless of the receipt of federal benefits and the presence (or absence) of work. Paid for 1.5 years for the first or second child.

The amount for the first-born is fixed and amounts to 10 thousand 500 rubles.

Regional multiplying factors are taken into account in the final calculation. For the second child they pay only the subsistence minimum. capital.

They apply for benefits from the social security authorities.

In addition to low family income, another condition is important. It consists in the presence of a registered marriage between the parents of the baby.

The indicated amounts are provided throughout the entire period. Also, a young mother has the opportunity to extend maternity leave and receive payments for another 1.5 years. But the amount of the monthly benefit will be only 50 rubles. It has not been indexed since 2001.
