The minimum benefit amount. Allowance for the care of a child up to one and a half years. When benefits stop being paid

From February 1, 2019, child benefits are increased, which are paid to one of the parents until the child reaches the age of 1.5 years in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Law of May 19, 1995 N 81-FZ. The government of the Russian Federation will index both the minimum amount of benefits and the maximum.

Let us tell you in more detail how many rubles is the allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old in 2019 in Russia - the changes affected both the maximum and minimum payments.

Who is eligible to receive benefits?

The relative of the child who actually takes care of him from birth to the age of 1.5 years can apply for the allowance. Most of the time it's the mother. But the father of the baby or another relative, guardian can also go on parental leave. This person has the right to count on receiving assistance from the state in the form of benefits. Only this right needs to be confirmed. When a child care allowance up to 1.5 years old is issued at the place of work by one of the parents, he submits a certificate stating that the second does not receive such payments from his employer. If, for example, a grandmother goes on parental leave with a "child" allowance, then certificates must be provided from both parents.

Benefit for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old in 2019 (online calculator will allow you to make calculations quickly and independently) according to general rule is 40% of the average salary. There are restrictions on the amount of benefits, both in relation to the upper limit and the lower limit.


Minimum wage

The minimum amount of the allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old in 2019 is provided to non-working mothers / fathers or in cases where seniority is less than 6 months old.

For 2018, the coefficient was established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 74 dated January 26, 2018 (its size is 1.025). Therefore, until February 1, 2019, the allowance for the first child, which was in effect earlier - 3,142.33 rubles, continues to be applied.

According to the draft decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, child benefits in 2019 will be indexed from February 1 and will increase by a factor of 1.043. The project is called "On approval of the amount of indexation of payments, benefits and compensations in 2019", ID 01/01/12-18/00086773, developed by the Ministry of Labor, date of creation - 12/11/2018.

  • RUB 3,277.45- this is exactly the amount of the unemployment allowance that relies on the first child this year.

Another situation is when the beneficiary is employed, but billing period had no income or his salary did not reach the current minimum wage for a full calendar month. Recall that the minimum wage from January 1, 2019 is 11,280 rubles. Such persons for the first child will receive monthly for the first child from the beginning of the year 4,512 rubles.

At the same time, the amount of the allowance for the second and subsequent children is:

  • RUB 6,284.65 - until 31.01.2019;
  • RUB 6,554.9 - from February 1, 2019 (taking into account the expected indexation).

Maximum speed

The maximum amount of child care allowance up to 1.5 years in 2019 is paid to a working citizen if his salary exceeds the upper limit. Earnings accrued for 2 years preceding the one in which the baby is born are taken into account. When there are periods in which there was no earnings, the amount of the minimum wage is taken.

Formula: (sum of salary for 1 year + sum of salary for 2 years) / 730 (number of days in 2 years) x 30.4 (average length of month) x 40%

The amount that is taken into account for the year should not exceed the established limit:

  • in 2018 - 815 thousand rubles;
  • in 2017 - 755 thousand rubles;
  • in 2016 - 718 thousand rubles.

It turns out that the maximum average daily wages, which is used to calculate the amount of the benefit, in 2019 is RUB 2,150.68

Taking into account the last indexation, the maximum amount of the benefit will be RUB 26,152.27(2150.68 rubles x 30.4 days x 40%). For last year, the value of 24,536.57 rubles was relevant.

  • contract mothers;
  • mothers and fathers serving in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the State Tax Inspectorate, the penitentiary system, at customs, who went on parental leave;
  • mothers fired during pregnancy due to the liquidation or closure of legal entities or individual entrepreneurs.

Accordingly, with the application of the new coefficient of 1.043, this amount will increase to RUB 13,109.81

Where and how to apply for benefits?

When both parents are officially employed, there are no problems: registration goes through the employer's personnel department. Let's say mom writes a statement for type sample, dad provides a certificate from work that he did not receive these funds and did not request. Also from the documents you must provide birth certificates of children. The employer does not pay the money: it is provided by the Social Insurance Fund from contributions deducted from earnings.

Things get more complicated when the other parent is not working. Then he receives a certificate of no payments from the FSS. If the employer (to whom you planned to apply for benefits) ceased to exist, you will also have to apply to the FSS.

When both parents are unemployed, the allowance pays social security in the minimum amount.


What has changed regarding “child” benefits in 2019?

Everyone who is counting on childcare allowance for a child up to 1.5 years old in 2019 (changes happen often in Russia) should follow regulations on this topic. It is better to study the calculation methods, you can use calculators on special sites.

The fact is that child benefits are indexed by a coefficient calculated according to the inflation rate of the previous year. According to Law No. 81-FZ, this happens in February of this year, but resolutions are usually issued earlier - in January, and come into force in February. An example is Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 74 dated 01/26/2018, relevant for last year, mentioned above.

From February 1, the current amount of benefits will increase by 4.3% in accordance with the draft resolution No. ID 01/01/12-18/00086773.

It is important to bear in mind that if district multipliers are used in the area, then they are used in the calculation after the indexation of the amount of the allowance. This happens on the basis of Art. 5 Federal Law No. 81.

Important changes last year affected additional child benefits up to 1.5 years. They are not provided to everyone, but only to those families where per capita income per month does not exceed 1.5 regional minimum wages (established for the 2nd quarter of last year for the able-bodied population). The allowance is paid in an amount equal to the “children's” subsistence minimum established for the 2nd quarter of the previous year. If the family meets the condition, then funds are provided for the first, for the second child (from the mother's capital), for subsequent ones, and until the baby is 1.5 years old.

Unemployment benefits are entitled to receive only citizens who are officially unemployed, who received such status in accordance with Law No. 1032-1 of 04/19/1991 "On Employment".

In 2019, only:

  • able-bodied citizens;
  • who have reached the age of 16;
  • non-pensioners and full-time students;
  • not involved entrepreneurial activity;
  • not occupying the position of founders of enterprises and firms;
  • sentenced to correctional labor or imprisonment.

The amount of the benefit depends on the average earnings of the unemployed for the last 3 months at the last place of work. The average earnings are determined on the basis of the data presented in the certificate from the last place of work. Law No. 1032-1 establishes the maximum and minimum size unemployment benefits. It is equal to 4900 and 850 rubles, respectively. It can be adjusted by the district coefficient, which is set by the regional authorities depending on the standard of living and the minimum wage in the region.

Moscow has the highest unemployment benefit, as here the Moscow Government makes additional payments. to the minimum and maximum size allowances from the authorities of the region "pay extra" for another 850 rubles. In addition, the unemployed are compensated for transportation costs in the amount of 1,190 rubles. Thus, the minimum and maximum unemployment benefits in Moscow are 2,890 and 6,940 rubles, respectively.

The following citizens receive the minimum unemployment benefit:

  • first-time job seekers;
  • who worked at the last place of work for less than 26 weeks;
  • those who want to find a job after a long break (more than 1 year);
  • dismissed from the last place of work "under the article";
  • who left the place of study, where they were sent from the Employment Center arbitrarily and without good reason.

The applicant receives the status of unemployed on the 11th day from the date of submission of all documents. In the first 10 days, employees of the Employment Center offer him all available vacancies that suit him in terms of qualifications.

If the applicant has an "unpopular" specialty, he will be offered training or retraining. If in 10 days he does not find a suitable job or place of study, then on the 11th day he will receive the status of unemployed and will receive unemployment benefits from that day.

Unemployment benefits in 2018 in the Moscow region

The amount of unemployment benefits in the Moscow region is about the same as in Moscow. The standard of living in the Moscow region is as high as in Moscow. Therefore, the maximum and minimum unemployment benefits here are the same as in Moscow.

The Moscow government pays its unemployed 850 rubles in addition to the maximum and minimum benefits. The authorities of the Moscow region do not make such additional payments. Therefore, the unemployed of the Moscow region receive 4,900 and 850 rubles, respectively. Unemployment benefit depends on the average earnings of the unemployed for the last 3 months. In the first 3 months as unemployed, the applicant will receive 75% of his average earnings, in the next 4 months - 60%, and then - 45%.

The allowance is accrued and paid only for 12 months within 1.5 years. If the unemployed person could not find a job for a year through no fault of his own, then the allowance will be paid for another 1 year. Its size will be equal to the minimum allowance for the region. To maintain the status of unemployed and continue to receive benefits, it is necessary to re-register every 2 weeks at the Employment Center at the place of residence. Otherwise, the payment of benefits may be suspended.

Where to go

In order to start receiving unemployment benefits, you must do the following:

  • visit the Employment Center at the place of their permanent registration;
  • prepare Required documents. Them complete list issued by a specialist of the Employment Center;
  • complete the relevant application;
  • start receiving benefits.

Such actions are called the registration of an unemployed citizen with the Employment Center. This can be done by those citizens who have already reached the age of 16, and who do not have a permanent job, and are not engaged in entrepreneurial or other income-generating activities.

It should be understood that the main goal of the Employment Center is not the payment of benefits to unemployed citizens. The main goal is the employment of the unemployed in as soon as possible. The payment of benefits is a measure of additional support for unemployed citizens by the state.

You should contact the Employment Center at the place of permanent registration. That is, this means that if an unemployed person has a permanent residence permit in the Republic of Tyva, but lives in the Moscow region, having a temporary registration, that he must go to Tyva and look for work there.

If an unemployed person has been living in another region for many years, has a temporary registration and worked here (documents from the place of work can confirm this), can he register at the place of temporary registration? The unequivocal answer is no! You can only register at the place of permanent registration.

Like many others state institutions, Employment Center has its own official website. However, it will not work to register using the World Wide Web, since only original documents are needed. On this site you can always see the available vacancies in the Employment Center. Also on this portal you can find out the exact address of the Employment Center, which is "fixed" to the address of the applicant.

What are the deadlines

You can register with the Employment Center at any time. But there are several nuances that must be taken into account:

  • if the applicant was dismissed due to staff reduction, then he must register within 2 weeks after dismissal. In this case, he will receive the wages for the third month;
  • if the applicant does not do this or finds a job in the nearest time after the dismissal, then he will not receive benefits for the third “unemployed” month.

There are no other nuances. No matter what time the unemployed person arrives and brings documents for registration, he will be recognized as unemployed and will receive benefits. And the amount of benefits depends on whether he previously worked or not.

Conditions required to receive

Not everyone can count on receiving unemployment benefits in Moscow.

The following citizens have the right to register and receive benefits:

  • citizens who were fired from their previous job to reduce staff. They need to come to the Employment Center and submit documents within 2 weeks after the dismissal;
  • persons who have never worked in their lives, but at the same time have an education;
  • citizens who do not work and do not have education;
  • pregnant unemployed women;
  • people with disabilities.

That is, citizens aged 16 to retirement age who do not have any income, including from entrepreneurial activities, can be recognized as unemployed.

Benefit procedure

In order to receive benefits, you must register with the Employment Center at the place of your permanent registration. But this does not mean that the citizen will start receiving benefits from the very first day, as soon as he applied with the documents. Within the first 10 days from the date of application:

  • he will be offered all available vacancies in the employment center. Including temporary, which correspond to his education and work experience;
  • if there are no such vacancies, then he will be invited to participate in public works;
  • if he does not have an education, or if it is “not popular” at the moment, he will be offered either to go to study again, or to undergo appropriate retraining.

If these measures do not bring a positive result, and the applicant does not find a suitable job, then on the 11th day after applying, he is registered. From that day on, he will receive the official status of unemployed and will receive benefits.

At the same time, one should not forget that a citizen will not be registered, and as a result, will not receive unemployment benefits in Moscow if he:

  1. Twice in a row he refuses the job offered to him. In this case, the vacancy will correspond to:
    • his education;
    • his qualifications;
    • his work experience;
    • his state of health;
    • paid less than living wage;
    • located in the access zone from the place of registration of the applicant. This is a rather controversial criterion, since Moscow is a very large city, and it takes only a few hours to get from one end to the other. Therefore, this criterion for Moscow is rather “vague”.
  2. Twice in a row refuse the proposed place of study or place of work if he has no education and has never worked;
  3. Does not appear at the specified Employment Center within 10 days after the submission of documents for the selection of vacancies for him or places of study and retraining.
  4. Does not appear at the Employment Center within the predetermined period for registration.
  5. Intentionally submit false information and documents.

In the presence of such circumstances, a decision will be made to refuse to register this citizen. But 1 month after the decision is made, he can visit the employment center again, submit documents and register. And, therefore, start receiving benefits if they no longer violate the above standards.

Benefit payment procedure

There is a certain procedure for paying unemployment benefits:

  • it is calculated as a percentage of average earnings, but cannot be higher than the established maximum - 4,900 rubles for citizens who previously worked. This value has not changed for several years and will remain at the same level in 2018;
  • the allowance is paid monthly;
  • those citizens who have not previously worked will receive the minimum allowance - 850 rubles.

This value has also not been indexed for several years.

In this case, the unemployed must:

  • check in every 2 weeks at the Employment Center;
  • consider vacancies offered by the Employment Center. An unemployed person is not obliged to go to an interview for those vacancies that do not suit him, neither by education, nor by skill level. For example, an unemployed person is an engineer of low-voltage systems by education, and he is sent for an interview for a job as a cook in a cold shop;
  • if the unemployed person has an “unpopular” profession or education, then he should consider options for retraining for “popular” specialties;
  • be aware that the amount of the benefit will not always be the same. In the first 3 months from the date of registration - 75% of average monthly earnings(or monetary allowance, if he was previously in military service) of the unemployed. Average earnings are calculated based on wages for the last 3 months from the last month of work. It does not matter how much time has passed since the applicant quit. If the company has already ceased to exist, then you need to submit an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities about this fact;
  • in the next 4 months, the amount of the benefit will be 60% of the above calculated amount;
  • further - only 45% of the same value.

Unemployment benefit legislation

The main legislative act that regulates the registration of citizens, the payment of unemployment benefits to them and others important points relating specifically to the assignment of the status of an unemployed citizen is the Law of the Russian Federation of April 19, 1991 No. 1032 - 1 “On Employment in the Russian Federation”.

The latest amendments to this law were made by Federal Law No. 495-FZ of December 28, 2016. But these changes did not affect the fundamental provisions of the law.

For 2 years now, deputies have been proposing to increase the size of the allowance by region to the subsistence level in this region. But so far such proposals are under discussion and have not yielded any results. The amount of unemployment benefits is still at around 4900 rubles (maximum limit) and 850 rubles (minimum limit).

Benefit for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old in 2020 paid to persons who take care of the child during the leave of the same name.

Please note that leave is granted until the child reaches the age of three, and benefits are paid only up to one and a half.

To whom is the allowance for the care of a child up to 1.5 years old paid?

Unlike the maternity allowance, which is paid only to the mother of the child, the allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old in 2020 can also be received by other relatives: father, grandmother, etc., the main thing is that they actually take care of the child and therefore deprived of the opportunity to receive wages or other income. If the baby is cared for by two or more relatives, at their choice.

The amount of the allowance for the care of a child up to 1.5 years

As a general rule, child care allowance is . In some cases, the payment is made in.

From January 1, 2020 minimum care allowance for the first child is 4 852 rubles, from February 1, 2020 for the second and subsequent children - 6,751 rubles 54 kopecks, from January 1, 2020 maximum size care allowance - 27 984 rubles 66 kopecks. The following persons are entitled to the allowance in the specified amount:

    mothers dismissed during pregnancy in connection with the liquidation of the organization

    mothers, fathers, full-time guardians

    relatives caring for a child in case of deprivation of mother and (or) father of parental rights

Calculation of allowance for child care up to 1.5 years

For convenience, we present the calculation algorithm child care benefits in 2020 in the form of a diagram:

Child care allowance

equals
average earnings for the previous two calendar years (should not exceed for each year the maximum amount of the base for calculating insurance premiums to the FSS: in 2018 - 815,000 rubles, in 2019 - 865,000 rubles, that is, for calculations, we select the amount that is less)
we divide
by the number of calendar days in the same period (excluding periods of temporary disability, maternity and childcare leave, the period of release from work with pay). We get the average daily earnings, which cannot be more than the control value (= the sum of the limit values ​​\u200b\u200b(see above) divided by 730)
multiply
at 30.4
multiply
by 40%

Terms of payment of child care allowance up to 1.5 years

You can apply for child care allowance in 2020 no later than the day the child reaches the age of one and a half years.

Note: regardless of the date of application, the benefit in 2020 will be from the date of granting parental leave until the child reaches the age of 1.5 years.

The maternity benefit is a type of material assistance paid to women for the entire period of maternity leave from the Social Insurance Fund (FSS). This type of allowance is also popularly called "maternity allowance".

Who will receive the payment and under what conditions?

In the list of those who can count on state support when leaving for maternity leave entered:

  • working women;
  • recently lost their jobs due to the bankruptcy of the enterprise;
  • full-time students of universities, technical schools, colleges;
  • women under contract in military structures;
  • adoptive parents belonging to one of the above groups.

Maternity Benefit (M&B) is guaranteed only to women. Neither the spouse nor other family members can count on the corresponding payments. If the pregnant woman continues to work, then no allowance is paid, since the woman still receives a salary. If a woman is eligible for the B&D and child care benefits at the same time, then she must choose one.


Who pays?

Payments to pregnant working women at the place of work are charged by the employer, who reimburses the funds from the Social Insurance Fund. If a woman was fired due to the cessation of the enterprise, then the application and the sick leave are submitted to the social security authorities. There are frequent cases when the employer delays the payment of funds, then you can contact the Labor Inspectorate or, if there is a delay of 2 months or more, the Prosecutor's Office.

Order of appointment and terms of receipt

  1. At the place of work. The employer undertakes to appoint the payment of benefits for BiR within 10 days from the date of filing necessary documents. The full amount of the benefit for all months of vacation is given to the employee with the next salary. If the employee has been working recently and has not provided a timely certificate of the amount of earnings for the last two years from the previous place of work, then the amount of the payment is assigned in accordance with the data available to the employer. After the insured person provides the relevant certificate, the benefit must be recalculated. The amount of maternity allowance overcharged to an employee cannot be recovered. An exception is a counting error or the provision of knowingly incorrect information by the recipient of the allowance.
  2. By place of study. Full-time students need to contact the accounting department of the educational institution. Funds can be transferred in the same way as a scholarship from the budget allocated to the educational institution.
  3. in the social security authorities. The transfer of funds through a bank takes place or is carried out by postal order by the 26th of the next month. The source of money is the FSS.
  4. By direct contact with the FSS. The payment is made directly through the FSS within the framework of the Direct Payments project and does not require the mediation of the employer.

The amount of the maternity benefit

The amount of payments under the decree depends on the social status of the pregnant woman:

  • employed women receive 100% of the average monthly earnings (before tax is taken into account);
  • full-time female students receive 100% of the scholarship;
  • female military personnel serving under a contract can count on the entire amount equal to the amount of monetary allowance multiplied by the number of months of vacation;
  • if the experience of a pregnant woman at the place of work is less than six months, then she will receive an allowance equal to the minimum wage for each month;
  • women fired due to the liquidation of the organization, the termination of the IP receive for each month of vacation - the amount of 628.47 rubles, which from February 2019 will be 655.49 rubles.

Maternity payments are calculated according to the following formula:

Income for the previous 2 years, excluding tax deductions÷ 731 or 730 (number of days in the specified period) × number of days of maternity leave.

In 2019, the size of the minimum and maximum maternity allowances increased due to inflation calculated by Rosstat. The indexation of the R&D allowance and other payments is carried out in accordance with inflation at the end of 2018. Rosstat determined inflation at 3.5%, which corresponds to an increasing indexation coefficient of 1.035, but later changed this coefficient to 1.043, since inflation was actually 4.3%.

In connection with the indexation of benefits, two more indicators have changed that affect the amount of payment:

  1. minimum wage rose to 11,280 rubles, which is 117 rubles. more than from 01 May 2018.
  2. Limit base for calculating insurance premiums amounts to 815,000 rubles and 755,000 rubles for the last two years.

The average salary of an employee must not exceed minimum and maximum. Let's consider the current figures according to the table of maximum and minimum payments after indexation.

Minimum allowance assigned to women employed (calculated based on the minimum wage for all days of the period of temporary disability).

  • RUB 51,918.90 - with a sick leave of 140 days;
  • RUB 57,852.49 - with an additional 16 days of vacation, 156 days of maternity leave;
  • 71,944.76 - for 194 days of maternity leave.

Maximum Benefit laid to working women.

  • 301,095.89 - for 140 days of decree;
  • 335,506.85 - if the vacation is 156 days;
  • 417,232.88 - with maternity leave 194 days.

The maximum and minimum values ​​may change if there are regional coefficients in the region that increase the payment. These amounts can only be received by those who became eligible for the corresponding amount after February 1, 2019. Benefits that have already been calculated are not subject to indexation.

There are a few things to keep in mind when calculating cash.

  1. When calculating the average monthly income, periods of illness, maternity leave, and parental leave are not taken into account.
  2. The periods when the employee was released from work are also not taken into account, while the salary was retained in full or in part.
  3. If the employee has been on maternity or parental leave in the last two years, these dates will be excluded from the total calculation. But a woman has the right to replace the time when there was no salary for the previous year or two years. This is allowed if the woman receives a large amount.

Benefit Calculation Example

Let's consider a possible example of calculating the B&R benefit using the example of complicated childbirth, in which 156 days of vacation are required. Let's assume that during the previous two years there was not a single period of incapacity for work. Let's say that the salary in 2017 turned out to be 450,000 rubles, and in 2018, the funds received amounted to 522,000 rubles. The number of calendar days for two years, as mentioned above, is 730 days.

From here we start calculating the allowance: (450,000 + 522,000) / 730 × 156 = 207,715.07 rubles.

This amount will be paid in a lump sum to the employee with the next salary after the acceptance of documents and calculation. The pregnancy benefit is tax and duty free, so the woman gets everything cash straightaway.

Required documents

To receive maternity benefits, the expectant mother must provide the employer with a small package of documents:

  • certificate of incapacity for work;
  • application for grant lump sum according to BiR (it is compiled in free form or according to a model issued by the personnel department);
  • for women who have been working for less than two years in this organization, an additional certificate with the amount of earnings for the last two years from the previous place of employment or from the enterprise where the woman works part-time can be provided.

In 2019, a package of documents can be sent to the employer by mail, then certified copies or in electronic form are attached to the letter.

For the unemployed, maternity leave will be issued on the basis of the following documents:

  • application for the appropriate payment;
  • certificate of salary from the place of work or application for a request for information on the amount of wages;
  • disability certificate from antenatal clinic, signed by an obstetrician-gynecologist.

Sick leave

The payment of benefits for BiR is made on the basis of a sick leave issued to a pregnant woman. It is obtained in the antenatal clinic, where a pregnant woman is observed. The document prescribes the exact number of days of maternity leave, and sick leave is issued on a certain day. The table will help you figure out when a woman can go on vacation.

The nature of the course of pregnancy and childbirthNumber of days before deliveryNumber of days after birthThe entire period of maternity leave
Uncomplicated delivery, pregnancy is uneventful70 70 140
Normal pregnancy, complications in the postpartum period70 86 (16 extra days)156
Childbirth occurred at 22 - 30 obstetric weeks- 156 156
Pregnancy is multiple84 110 194
Multiple pregnancy (established during childbirth)70 124 194

In addition to obstetrician-gynecologists in antenatal clinics sick leave may be completed and signed by general practitioners (family doctors) or paramedics. If a woman at 30 weeks refuses to receive this document due to unwillingness to leave workplace and go on maternity leave, then when the pregnant woman re-applies, a certificate of incapacity for work is issued in general order. The countdown of the days set by the state still starts from 30 weeks.

The sick leave form for BiR is identical to the one that is issued for general diseases, but there are features of filling out:

  1. In the field "Cause of disability" code 05 is indicated.
  2. In the section "Exemption from work", the column "From what date" the day of the start of maternity leave is printed. The column “By what date” counts down the day when a woman can start work or write an application for leave to care for a newborn.
  3. When applying to a antenatal clinic with registration for a gestational age of up to 12 weeks, there should be a corresponding mark.
  4. The employer does not need to fill in the employee's TIN (the field should be left blank).
  5. The line "Amount of benefit" remains empty, since the Social Insurance Fund accrues the money.
  6. All other items are filled in the same way as for other sick leave sheets.

Important! In the column "Registration in early dates Pregnancy (up to 12 weeks)" should be marked with the word "yes". This is necessary in order for the woman to receive a lump sum payment. An obstetrician-gynecologist will issue a special certificate confirming the right to receive funds. It will need to be presented to the employer or to the FSS.

The main document is issued, including to women who fall from decree to decree. For adoptive parents of children under three months of age, a decree is also provided for up to 70 days, the paper is drawn up from the moment of actual adoption. But the countdown of 70 days starts from the day the baby is born. If parents adopt two or more babies, then the duration of the decree increases and becomes, as in a multiple pregnancy, 110 days.

In 2020, the size of the one-time maternity allowance (M&R), in accordance with Federal Law No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995, for women who are in a different social status at the time of maternity leave, is calculated from the average salary or can be set in the minimum amount.





Thus, the allowance can be equal to:

  • 100% of the average earnings - for working women subject to compulsory insurance in case of disability and motherhood;
  • 100% of the amount of monetary allowance - for contract servicemen;
  • in the minimum fixed amount - in all other cases (including some categories of unemployed - students who were dismissed during the liquidation of the organization, etc.).

The legislative framework that establishes the indicated amounts of the B&R allowance:

  • Art. eight federal law No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995 "On State Benefits for Citizens with Children";
  • Art. 11 of Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006 "On compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood".

No major changes in calculus maternity allowance compared to previous years did not happen, except for the indexation of the minimum fixed amount by 3% from February 1, 2020, annual and .

  • The amount of the allowance is calculated from the salary or other type of income, taking into account the district coefficient (if the latter is relevant for the area where the woman leaving the decree lives, and it has not already been taken into account when calculating wages).
  • If a woman has combined work for at least two years two employers, then the amount of the allowance is calculated from the salary of each of them. Then, in the antenatal clinic, she must issue two maternity sick leaves to provide for each place of work.
  • The payout amount based on the minimum wage(minimum wage), is subject to annual indexation in accordance with the increase in the subsistence level of the able-bodied population on average in Russia (the minimum wage from January 1, 2020 is 12,130 rubles).

Maximum maternity benefit in 2020

The amount of maternity allowance generally depends on the average salary, but if the income is too high limited within certain limits. That is, with an annual salary, for example, of a million rubles, maternity payments will not be charged from this amount, but from a smaller one - from which, according to the law, they can be paid by the employer contributions to insurance funds (PFR, MHIF and FSS).

Attention

Compared to the previous year in 2020 maximum limits for maternity benefits increased. This happened due to the new limit values ​​​​of the bases from which mandatory contributions in Social Insurance Fund(FSS).

Benefits begin to accrue only after the woman goes on maternity leave. That is, a pregnant woman will receive it in a smaller amount if she goes on vacation in BiR later than the deadline. The minimum duration of a full vacation in BiR is 140 days(70 days before delivery and 70 after), however, it can increase with multiple or complicated pregnancies - in proportion to the duration, the amount of the lump-sum payment due will also increase.

  • For each day of processing a woman will receive regular salary, so for these days she will not be entitled to maternity payments.
  • When leaving on maternity leave from the main job and from a combined position at different times, the allowance will be accrued for a different number of days.
Recall: in order to receive benefits, you need to provide an employer or social security application along with a sick leave (as well as other documents if necessary). Deadline appeals - no later than 6 months. after the end of the vacation in BiR.

Average earnings for calculating sick leave benefits

According to the established rule, maternity payments are calculated on the basis of average earnings for two previous full calendar years. At the same time, unlike the usual sick leave for temporary disability, the amount of maternity benefit is not affected by the work experience of the employee (provided that it is more than 6 months).

Attention

For those who issue a decree in 2020, the settlement years will be 2018 and 2019. When working part-time the average size earnings are taken according to the amounts actually paid.

The average earnings used in the calculation include all types of income of a woman from which contributions to the FSS. To him, in accordance with Art. 9 of the law of July 24, 2009 No. 212-FZ do not include:

  • allowances for social insurance, including payments for temporary disability (sick leave);
  • periods of release from work with full or partial pay;
  • one-time material assistance paid by the employer to employees in the amount of up to 4,000 rubles. for the billing period;
  • other less common types of payments.

When calculating average earnings are taken into account these incomes:

  • salary and travel allowance;
  • bonuses, fees;
  • holiday pay;
  • compensation for unused vacation;
  • financial assistance from the employer over unaccounted for 4,000 rubles.

Average daily earnings calculated by dividing the income from which the insurance premiums in the FSS, for two calendar years, by the number of days in this period (in the simplest case - 730 days). The total number of days does not include:

  • The periods during which the woman was on sick leave, on leave for BiR and childcare.
  • Days when the employee was relieved of duties with partial or full salary, if no social insurance contributions were accrued during this time.

Attention

If during one or both accounting years a woman was on maternity leave or parental leave, then such a calendar period is allowed (but not obligatory) to be replaced by any other. The main thing is that when measuring the amount of payments does not decrease.

The resulting figure is multiplied by the number of days on maternity leave and we get the amount of the benefit in each case. The allowance can be calculated after the end of sick leave(main and, if any, additional), which will indicate the number of days of vacation in BiR.

Decree may last:

  • 140 days - base case;
  • 156 days - with complications during childbirth;
  • 194 days - at the birth of two or more children at the same time.

The average earnings for maternity leave for each billing year cannot exceed the maximum established by law. The size of the latter is base limit, with which in the FSS insurance premiums are charged.

Limit sizes of bases for accrual of maternity leave in 2010-2020. are shown in the table below. For annual salaries in excess of the amounts given, the figures from the table will be used.

Note: The limit bases for years before 2018 are given for cases where a woman wants to replace the year in which she was on maternity leave or on leave to care for another child with a different calendar period, and also just for the purpose of comparison (for illustration).

Attention

If the salary of an employee in billing year exceeds the amount presented in the table, then the employer did not pay contributions to the FSS from any part of the salary in excess of the above limit and, accordingly, it cannot be fully taken into account when calculating benefits.

In fact, the law limits not only the annual total that is taken into account, but also indirectly the actual average daily earnings.

  • In general, when calculated in 2020, it cannot exceed the sum of the marginal bases for 2018 and 2019 divided by 730 (the number of days in two ordinary years) or 731 (if one of the two years is a leap year).
  • That is, in 2020, the average daily earnings for the previous two years for calculating benefits in the general case cannot be more than 2301.37 rubles.

Maximum maternity benefit in 2020

Based on the formula for calculating benefits and the maximum insurance base, size limit payments for 140 days of decree in 2020 will be:

140 days × (815,000 rubles + 865,000 rubles) / 730 days = RUB 322,191.80

Accordingly, with an extended decree (complicated childbirth, multiple pregnancy) and a salary greater than or equal to the insurance base, the employee will be required to:

  • for maternity leave 156 days long - 359,013.72 rubles.
  • for a vacation lasting 194 days - 446,465.78 rubles.

Attention

This amount paid as a lump sum for the entire period of vacation in BiR. It will be relevant provided that in 2017 and 2018. the woman was not on sick leave or on maternity leave.

An important addition: to the received maximum payout regional coefficients do not apply. That is, for example, both in the Arctic and in the Black Sea region, the maximum allowance will be the same.

Minimum maternity benefit in 2020

In some cases, the B&R benefit is paid at a minimum amount:

  • working- according to the minimum wage for each month of the decree, the amount of which is established for each year by federal law;
  • unemployed - in the form of a fixed amount established by law.

Women who did not work before the onset of pregnancy and childbirth do not go on maternity leave and cannot count on B&R benefits, even in the minimum amount. The exception is pregnant women with the official status of unemployed (i.e. registered with the Employment Center), dismissed due to the liquidation of the organization a year or less before obtaining the status, as well as some other categories of persons.

When calculating based on the size of the minimum wage

The minimum wage changes periodically (most often once a year) taking into account the increase in the living wage. In 2020, it is 12130 rubles.

For the B&D allowance in the minimum amount according to the minimum wage according to the law they have a right:

  • Pregnant women going on maternity leave if they have worked in an organization less than 6 months.
  • Women with an average salary below the minimum wage for the past two years (it is noteworthy that in this case, the calculated average earnings are compared with the minimum established for the estimated year of maternity leave, and not for the previous 2 years, so the allowance is calculated according to the minimum wage at the time of its appointment).

Attention

If a woman's earnings for some certain part of the settlement calendar period were below the minimum wage or were absent at all, then during this time the amount is also calculated based on the minimum wage.

Table of minimum wage sizes by years

Year Minimum wage, rub.
2013 5205
