We tell you how to calculate the monthly child care allowance in 2018 until he reaches the age of 1.5 years and calculate it in “1C: Salary and Personnel Management 8” edition 3.

One of the types of state benefits for citizens with children is a monthly child care allowance (Federal Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ “On state benefits for citizens with children”).

The right to a monthly child care allowance is given, in particular, to mothers or fathers, other relatives, guardians who are actually caring for the child, who are subject to compulsory social insurance and who are on parental leave. It should be taken into account that the right to a monthly child care allowance is retained even if the person on parental leave works part-time or at home, as well as in the case of continuing education. If a mother takes maternity leave while on maternity leave, she has the right to choose what benefit she will receive during the coincidental period of leave.

Monthly child care allowance is paid from the date of granting parental leave until the child reaches the age of 1.5 years.

The amount of the monthly child care benefit is determined by Article 11.2 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ “On compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity.”

Calculation of average earnings

The benefit is calculated based on the average earnings of the insured person, calculated for 2 calendar years preceding the year of parental leave, i.e., when the benefit was assigned in 2018 - for 2016 and for 2017.

The average earnings, on the basis of which benefits are calculated, include all types of payments in favor of the insured person, for which insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation were calculated in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees (starting from 01/01/2017).

Average earnings for calculating benefits are taken into account for each calendar year in an amount not exceeding the maximum base for calculating insurance premiums established in accordance with paragraph 6 of Article 421 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

The maximum amount of annual earnings taken into account when calculating benefits is for:

• 2018 - RUB 815,000;
• 2017 - RUB 755,000;
• 2016 - 718,000 rubles;
• 2015 - 670,000 rubles;
• 2014 - 624,000 rubles;
• 2013 - 568,000 rubles;
• 2012 - 512,000 rubles;
• 2011 - 463,000 rubles;
• 2010 - 415,000 rubles;
• 2009 and earlier periods - 415,000 rubles.

If in 2 calendar years immediately preceding the year of the insured event, or in one of the specified years, the insured person was on maternity leave and (or) child care leave, the corresponding calendar years (calendar year) upon application female employees may be replaced for the purposes of calculating average earnings by previous calendar years (calendar year), provided that this results in an increase in the benefit amount.

In the average earnings for calculating benefits, not only the earnings received from a given policyholder are taken into account, but also, in the general case, earnings during work (service, other activities) for another policyholder (other policyholders).

To confirm earnings received from another policyholder, the employee must provide a certificate of the amount of earnings from which the benefit should be calculated from the place of work (service, other activity) with the other policyholder (or a copy of the certificate certified in the prescribed manner), and the number calendar days falling in the specified period during periods of temporary disability, maternity leave, parental leave, the period of release of the employee from work with full or partial retention of wages.

If the insured person does not have a certificate (certificates) of the amount of earnings on the day of applying for benefits, the benefit is assigned and paid on the basis of the information and documents submitted by the insured person and available to the policyholder. After the insured person submits a certificate (certificates), the assigned benefit is recalculated for the entire past period, but not more than 3 years preceding the day the certificate (certificates) was submitted.

If at the time of the insured event the employee is employed by several employers, then child care benefits are assigned and paid to him at one of the last places of work of his choice (unlike benefits for temporary disability, pregnancy and childbirth, which in certain cases may paid for all jobs).

Average daily earnings are determined by dividing the amount of earnings of the insured person for the 2 previous calendar years of the start of the vacation (taking into account the limitation of its maximum annual amount) by the number of calendar days in the billing period, with the exception of calendar days falling on the following periods:

• periods of temporary disability, maternity leave, parental leave;
• periods of release from work with full or partial retention of wages in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, if insurance premiums are not charged on the retained wages.

When calculating child care benefits, the average daily earnings cannot exceed the value determined by dividing by 730 the sum of the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating insurance premiums for the 2 calendar years preceding the year of parental leave.

In 2018, the maximum average daily earnings for temporary disability benefits is (Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ):

(RUB 718,000 + RUB 755,000) / 730 = RUB 2,017.81

In this regard, the maximum amount of benefits for child care up to 1.5 years in 2018 is equal to (Article 11.2, 14 of Law No. 255-FZ):

RUB 2,017.81 x 30.4 x 40% = 24,536.57 rubles.

An insured person with an insurance period of less than 6 months is paid child care benefits up to 1.5 years in an amount not exceeding the minimum wage established by federal law for a full calendar month, and in districts and localities in which district coefficients are duly applied to wages, in an amount not exceeding the minimum wage, taking into account these coefficients.

If the insured person did not have earnings for 2 calendar years preceding the year of the occurrence of the insured event, and also if the average earnings calculated for these periods, calculated for a full calendar month, are lower than the minimum wage established by federal law on the day the insured event occurred, the average earnings , on the basis of which the benefit is calculated, is taken to be equal to the minimum wage established by federal law on the day the insured event occurred.

If the insured person, at the time of the occurrence of the insured event, works part-time, part-time, part-time, part-time, the average earnings, on the basis of which benefits are calculated in these cases, are determined in proportion to the duration of the insured person's working hours. Moreover, in all cases, the calculated monthly child care benefit cannot be less than the minimum monthly child care benefit.

From January 1, 2018, the minimum wage is RUB 9,489. (Federal Law No. 421-FZ dated December 28, 2017). From May 1, 2018, the minimum wage is RUB 11,163. (Federal Law No. 41-FZ dated 03/07/2018).

In 1C:Enterprise 8 solutions, the minimum wage is kept up to date. For deadlines, see “Monitoring changes in legislation.”

Calculation of the amount of monthly child care benefits

The average earnings are calculated, from which the monthly child care allowance will be calculated. Average monthly earnings are defined as the product of average daily earnings by the average monthly number of calendar days equal to 30.4 (Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ).

The amount of the monthly child care benefit is determined by multiplying the average earnings of the insured person by 40% (Article 11.2 of Law No. 255-FZ).

When determining the amount of benefit to be paid, it should be taken into account that it must be at least 1,500 rubles. for caring for the first child and at least 3,000 rubles. for caring for the second child and subsequent children without taking into account indexation for a full calendar month (Article 15 of Law No. 81-FZ).

Starting from 01.02.2018, taking into account indexation, the legally established minimum amounts of monthly benefits are (Article 4.2 of Law No. 81-FZ, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 01.26.2018 No. 74):

• RUB 3,142.33 - caring for the first child;
• RUB 6,284.65 - caring for the second child and subsequent children.

If an employee receives a minimum child care benefit based on the minimum established last year, then after 02/01/2018 this benefit must be increased to the newly established minimum.

In districts and localities in which regional coefficients are applied to wages in accordance with the established procedure, the minimum amount of child care benefits is determined taking into account these coefficients (see Determination of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated December 14, 2015 No. 302-KG15-16129).

In the case of simultaneously caring for 2 or more children until they reach the age of 1.5 years, the amounts of benefits calculated for the care of each child are summed up. In this case, the summed amount of the benefit, calculated on the basis of average earnings, cannot exceed 100% of the amount of this earnings, but cannot be less than the summed minimum amount of the benefit.

If parental leave does not start on the first day of the month or ends on the last day of the month, then the monthly benefit for incomplete calendar months is paid in proportion to the number of calendar days in the month falling on parental leave.

Calculation of benefits in “1C: ZUP 8” (rev. 3)

We will consider the procedure for calculating monthly child care benefits for children under 1.5 years old in the 1C: Salaries and Personnel Management 8 program, edition 3, using the following example.

Example

Employee of Sewing Factory LLC E.S. From June 18, 2018 to April 15, 2021, Zotova is granted leave to care for her first child until she reaches the age of 3 years. An allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old from 06/18/2018 to 10/15/2019 (child born on 04/15/2018) and an allowance (compensation payment) for caring for a child up to 3 years old from 06/18/2018 to 04/15/2021 are also accrued. E.S. Zotova has been working at Sewing Factory LLC since 04/03/2017. At this enterprise, the amount of earnings for 2017 amounted to 298,333.33 rubles, the number of calendar days falling during periods of temporary disability was 12. The employee also provided a certificate from another employer about the amount of earnings for 2017, which amounted to 80,000 rubles. and for 2016 - 500,000 rubles, indicating the number of calendar days falling on periods of temporary disability in 2016 - 5.

In the program "1C:ZUP 8" (rev. 3) the following actions are performed:

1. Registration of parental leave.

2. Calculation and accrual of benefits for child care up to 1.5 years.

Registration of parental leave

Providing parental leave for a child up to 1.5 years and assigning benefits is carried out in the program using a document Holiday to care for the child(chapter Salary - Maternity leave- button Create).

In field Month a month is selected in which the employee is granted parental leave for up to 1.5 years (Fig. 1). Field Organization filled in by default. If more than one organization is registered in the program information base, then you must select the organization in which the employee is registered.

Rice. 1

In field date The date of registration of the document in the information base is indicated. In field Employee An employee is selected who is granted parental leave for up to 1.5 years. In the fields start date And expiration date the period of parental leave is indicated. In our example, from 06/18/2018 to 04/15/2021 (parental leave period up to 3 years). The estimated end date of the vacation is indicated for informational purposes and is used to print the order.

An employee's return from vacation is registered with a document Return from maternity leave, which indicates the actual end date of the vacation.

Starting from the specified return date, the employee's assigned benefits will be terminated and his previously existing scheduled accruals will resume. If necessary, they can be changed in this document.

Flag Free your rate for the holiday period is established if it is necessary to vacate the employee’s position at his place of work in the organization for the period of vacation. Then, according to the start date specified in the document, the release of rates for all places of work of the employee in the organization is registered, and on the end date of the vacation, rates are taken up again. In our example, the flag does not need to be set.

Next, fill out the bookmark Benefits In chapter Benefit up to 1.5 years (at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund). The flag is set Pay by and indicates the date on which child care benefits up to 1.5 years will be paid. In our example - until 10/15/2019. If leave is provided to care for 2 or more children, then the date of achievement of the age of 1.5 years for the eldest child(s) being cared for during the leave period is indicated. When this child turns 1.5 years old, the program must register a change in the conditions for calculating the amount of benefits (date of payment of benefits, number of children) using a document Changing the terms of payment for parental leave, which can be entered based on the document Holiday to care for the child.

In field Amount of children the number of children cared for up to 1.5 years is indicated. For example, if the first child is being cared for, you must specify the number “1” and set the flag This is the first child. The first child of a mother is understood as a child (one of the children) born in the first successful birth, or adopted chronologically first. If an employee has one child (for example, 5 years old), and then a second one is born, enter “1” in the field and the flag This is the first child there is no need to establish (since care is provided for the second child born in the second successful birth). If the employee’s first child was born, then enter “2” in the field and check the box . If an employee has one child (for example, 5 years old), and then two more are born, then enter “2” and the flag in the field Among the children there is the first child no need to install. Setting the flag affects the minimum benefit amount. In our example, specify “1” and set the flag This is the first child, because care is provided for the first child.

Flag Take into account the earnings of previous policyholders is set by default so that when calculating benefits, the earnings that the employee received from other insurers (employers) for the 2 previous calendar years are taken into account (in our example, 2016 and 2017). The amount of earnings received from other employers is recorded in the document Help for calculating benefits (incoming)(chapter Salary - Help for calculating benefits). If the flag Take into account the earnings of previous policyholders reset, then when creating the next parental leave for the same employee, the flag will remain reset (i.e., the setting of the flag from the last document is remembered). Flag Apply benefits when calculating benefits inactive (even if the employee’s card indicates that he is entitled to the benefit). Benefits assigned from July 1, 2016 to employees exposed to radiation as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant are paid at the expense of the Federal Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation in a single amount in accordance with Federal Law dated December 29, 2015 No. 388-FZ. Previously, benefits were paid in double amount until the child reaches the age of three.

If an employee is employed on a part-time basis, then when calculating benefits in the event that the employee’s earnings for the billing years are absent or below the minimum wage, in accordance with the law, the share of part-time work must be taken into account (the average earnings on the basis of which benefits are calculated in these cases are determined proportional to the working hours of the insured person). Field Partial time share is filled in automatically as the ratio of the length of the working week according to the employee’s schedule to the length of the working week according to the schedule, which is indicated in the employee’s schedule as a schedule for calculating the norm. If the work is done full time, then the default value is 1,000 . If necessary, the share can be changed manually in the document.

In field Regional coefficient the value of the regional coefficient that is used in the organization or separate division is indicated. This field appears in the document if the card of the organization or separate division indicates that the regional coefficient is applied (section Settings - Organizations- bookmark Basic information and section Settings - Divisions- bookmark Main).

In this case, the field is filled in automatically in accordance with the value indicated on the card as the federal coefficient.

In field Average daily earnings The amount of average daily earnings is automatically calculated according to the information base based on information for the previous 2 calendar years. Data for calculating average earnings can be viewed/edited using the button Open average earnings(in the form of a pencil). When you click the button, the form opens Entering data to calculate average earnings. If the information base contains data taken into account when calculating average earnings, then in the automatic calculation mode this data is automatically entered into a table summarized by calendar year of the billing period.

The number of calendar days for each year that fall on days of illness, maternity leave, parental leave and the period of release of an employee from work with full or partial retention of wages in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, if wages are maintained, is also automatically calculated. During this period, insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation were not accrued. In this form, click on the button Add help from previous places of work You can fill out a certificate for calculating benefits indicating the amount of earnings received from other employers, which will automatically be reflected in the form. You can also set the switch to Set manually and select the desired years for calculating benefits. You can also manually edit data in the form for months in which salaries have already been calculated in the program. Corrected data is highlighted in bold.

note, changes made in such months are not taken into account in subsequent calculations of average earnings (unlike months for which salaries have not yet been accrued in the program). These corrections affect only the calculation of average earnings and only in the specific copy of the document in which they are made.

When the flag is checked, new bookmarks appear - Salary, Holds, Personal income tax, Loan repayment, Contributions And Payment adjustments.

In chapter Benefit up to 3 years (at the expense of the employer) flag is set Pay by and indicates the date on which, inclusive, monetary compensation will be paid for the period of parental leave up to 3 years. In our example - until 04/15/2021.

Now let's move on to filling out the bookmark. Accruals- see fig. 1.

The default flag is set Do not pay salaries or pay advances during vacation. When the flag is set, the employee’s planned accruals that were in effect at the time of granting parental leave are terminated. Starting from the start date of the vacation, the automatic calculation of the employee’s salary stops. Also, the employee will not be taken into account when filling out statements for the payment of a planned advance if the payment of the advance was assigned in the amount or percentage of the tariff. If, along with the benefits, the employee must also receive a salary, for example, if they work part-time, then the flag should be removed. At the same time, its current planned accruals will remain. If necessary, they can be changed directly in this document by setting the flag Change charges. Moreover, if a person has several jobs in the organization, work with accruals for each of his jobs will be available.

Fields Supervisor And Job title automatically filled in with the last name, first name, patronymic, and position of the head of the organization from the directory Organizations(chapter Settings - Organizations- bookmark Accounting policies and other settings- link Responsible persons) based on information about the responsible persons of the organization and are used to decipher the signature in the printed form of the order for granting leave (button Seal - Order on granting leave (T-6)).

After filling out this tab, the document is registered (button Conduct).

For the purpose of analyzing the accrual results, you can generate a printed form for calculating average earnings using the button Seal - Calculation of average earnings.

The child care benefit for children under 1.5 years of age is calculated based on the average earnings of the insured person, calculated for the 2 calendar years preceding the year of parental leave. Average earnings are taken into account for each calendar year in an amount not exceeding the maximum base for calculating insurance contributions for compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity for the corresponding calendar year (for 2017 - 755,000 rubles and for 2016 - 718,000 rub.).

In our example, the employee’s earnings for 2016 are 500,000 rubles, which does not exceed the maximum base value for 2016, and earnings for 2017 are 378,333.33 rubles, which also does not exceed the maximum base value for 2017.

1. Earnings for accounting years:

500,000 rub. (for 2016) + 378,333.33 rub. (for 2017) = 878,333.33 rubles.

The number of calendar days in the billing period was 714, of which:

• in 2016 - 361 calendar days (366 days - 5 days);
• in 2017 - 353 calendar days (365 days - 12 days).

2. Average daily earnings:

This is less than the maximum average daily earnings for maternity benefits in 2018:

(RUB 755,000 + RUB 718,000) / 730 days = RUB 2,017.81

On the day of the insured event, the minimum wage is 11,163 rubles. (Federal Law No. 41-FZ dated 03/07/2018).

3. Minimum average daily earnings, calculated from the minimum wage:

(RUB 11,163 x 24) / 730 days = RUB 367

This is less than the employee's actual average daily earnings. To calculate the benefit, the employee’s average daily earnings of 1,230.16 rubles are taken, since it is more than the minimum average daily earnings calculated from the minimum wage.

Calculation and accrual of benefits for child care up to 1.5 years

Calculation and accrual of child care benefits up to 1.5 years old is carried out using a document (chapter Salary - Calculation of salaries and contributions) - see fig. 2. When automatically filling out a document using the button Fill or Selection in the tabular section on the tab Benefits Lines are entered for all types of benefits assigned to employees as planned.

Rice. 2

In our example, for June 2018, child care benefits for children under 1.5 years old are accrued over 13 calendar days (from 06/18/2018 to 06/30/2018).

1. Average daily earnings when calculating benefits up to 1.5 years it is:

RUB 878,333.33 / 714 days = 1,230.16 rubles.

2. Average monthly earnings:

RUB 1,230.16 x 30.4 = 37,396.86 rubles.

3. Amount of benefit for child care up to 1.5 years:

RUB 37,396.86 x 40% = 14,958.74 rubles.

This does not exceed the maximum amount of benefits for child care up to 1.5 years in 2018: RUB 24,536.57. Also, the amount of the benefit is higher than the legally established minimum amount of benefit for caring for the first child.

From 02/01/2018, the minimum monthly benefit for caring for the first child is RUB 3,142.33. (for care of the second child and subsequent children 6,284.65 rubles). If the calculated benefit amount is less than the minimum amount, then the benefit is assigned based on the minimum amount of child care benefit. Information on the minimum amount of benefits for the first and subsequent children is indicated in the information register Amounts of state benefits. The amount of benefits when legislation changes is updated along with the update of the program. This information can be found in the section Settings - Editing legal values- chapter State benefits.

4. Benefit amount up to 1.5 years for June:

RUB 14,958.74 / 30 days x 13 days = 6,482.12 rubles.

Starting from July 2018, child care benefits until they reach 1.5 years of age are accrued in full - RUB 14,958.74.

note, if an employee receives a minimum child care benefit based on the minimum established, for example, last year, then after 02/01/2018 this benefit must be increased to the newly established minimum. The program does this automatically.

The right to this benefit is the mother, father or other person actually caring for the child (but only one for each child). Those who can apply for benefits include:

• performs military service under a contract or serves in law enforcement agencies;
• were fired during pregnancy or maternity leave due to the liquidation of the employing company (or termination of the activities of the individual entrepreneur);
• study full-time, including at universities, colleges, etc.

However, the right to receive benefits remains if the recipient works at home or part-time or continues to study.

If a citizen is entitled to unemployment benefits, then he must choose which benefit to receive: unemployment or child care.

Women who gave birth to a second child during maternity leave must also choose which benefit they will receive: maternity benefit or child care benefit ().

The benefit stops being paid when the child turns one and a half years old.

Amount of child care benefit

As a general rule, the benefit amount is 40% of average earnings. Average earnings are determined by the same rules as for benefits.

EXAMPLE

A woman who gave birth to a child in 2017 earned 650 thousand rubles during 2016, and 580 thousand rubles during 2015. Over two years, she was on sick leave for a total of 21 days; there were no other periods not included in the calculation.

Total earnings for two years amounted to 1,230,000 rubles. To determine average earnings, total earnings must be divided by the number of calendar days of these years (730) with the exception of those that are not taken into account in the calculation (21):

1,230,000: (730 - 21) = 1,734.84 rubles.

This amount does not exceed the maximum average earnings (RUB 1,901.4), and therefore can be used in further calculations. It needs to be multiplied by a fixed value: 30.4 (), and then calculated 40% of the total:

1734.84 x 30.4 x 40% = RUB 21,095.65

This is exactly the amount of benefits that a woman will receive monthly.

When simultaneously caring for two or more children until they reach one and a half years old. This amount cannot be more than average earnings, but it should not be less than the total minimum benefit amount (that is, the minimum benefit for the first child plus the minimum benefit for the second child and subsequent ones) - 9197.06 rubles. from February 1, 2017 ().

The amount of the benefit will be minimal for mothers who were fired due to the liquidation of the employer, as well as parents studying full-time, and persons who actually care for the child if his parents have died or are unable to do this on their own (deprived of parental rights, are serving a sentence of imprisonment, are declared missing, etc.).

The payment provided monthly to a person caring for a child under 1.5 years old is limited to a minimum value, which cannot be lower.

The smallest border is established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Every year, from February 1 of the current year, the current monthly payment amount is indexed; the amounts are valid until January 31 of the following year.

Child care allowance is monetary social compensation, paid to those citizens into whose family a child was born. A baby requires time to care and raise, so at first, at least one family member should be with the newborn. During this period, the caregiver cannot perform labor functions and receive a salary, therefore he has the right.

In order to provide a minimum amount of money for this time, a benefit payment is provided that is maintained for the first year and a half of the child. The payment is of a social nature and is fully compensated by the Social Insurance Fund. You can get it through your employer, or in the absence of one from social security.

Important! The amount of monthly benefits for workers is calculated based on the amount of actual earnings, for the unemployed - always paid at the minimum value.

Read more about the purpose of payments up to 1.5 years for the unemployed.

Legislatively payment is regulated by minimum and maximum limits. The smallest benefit amount is determined at the government level annually, taking into account indexation, the largest is calculated based on the maximum bases for social contributions.

Who should?

Minimum monthly payment per child:

1. One of the parents or guardians in the absence of an official workplace.
2. Mother dismissed due to the liquidation of the organization or termination of the activities of the individual entrepreneur.
3. A mother who was fired due to the expiration of the employment contract (this contract is extended only until the birth of the child or until the end of the maternity leave when it is issued).
4. Any parent or guardian studying full-time.
5. To another unemployed relative, if the natural parents abandon the newborn, cannot provide proper care for up to 1.5 years for health reasons, are in prison, died, are missing, are deprived or have limited rights to the child.

This category of persons The issuance of funds every month is carried out by the USZN at the place of registration until the 26th day of the current month.

The minimum benefit for up to 1.5 years is used not only to determine the amount to be paid to the unemployed and socially unprotected, but also to compare the monthly amount calculated by the employer.

Important! Calculation result benefits at work for a full month should not be less than the minimum limit.

If a violation is detected, the employee on parental leave receives an allowance every month equal to the minimum wage * 40%. This is stated in Article 11.2 of Law No. 255-FZ.

Amount in 2018

The minimum allowance for a child under 1.5 years of age is indexed annually by the Government of the Russian Federation taking into account the increase in consumer prices over the past year. The indexation coefficient is determined once a year, begins on February 1 and applies to the next 12 months.

From February 1, 2017 the amount of the minimum social security payment for care up to 1.5 years was established by Resolution No. 88 of January 26, 2017 and amounted to 3065.69 rubles for the first child, 6131.37 rubles for the second.

These indicators are valid until the end of January 2018.

From February 1, 2018 the smallest amount of the Social Insurance Fund increases taking into account the actual annual inflation for 2017. The inflation rate was 2.5%, respectively, the indexation coefficient for the monthly payment will be at the level of 1.025. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 74 of January 26, 2018.

• on the first RUB 3,142.33;
• on the second RUB 6,284.65

According to Article 15 of Law No. 81-FZ, when determining the smallest limit for payment in regions with an established regional coefficient, values ​​​​approved by the Government of the Russian Federation are required multiply by the current coefficient in the region.

The indicated values ​​are paid to unemployed citizens. Working people receive a minimum benefit for the first child of 40% of the minimum wage, for the second the minimum amount is similar to the unemployed.

Allowance for caring for a child up to one and a half years old is a state social payment, which is assigned from the moment the child’s mother ends her maternity leave. The amount of the benefit is set within the maximum and minimum values, the amount of such values ​​is indexed annually by the state

Payments are made at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund (SIF), which is formed from insurance payments from Russian citizens. The main regulations governing this type of benefit are Federal Law No. 81, Federal Law No. 255, Federal Law No. 256, Federal Law No. 418 and Art. 256 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Important! Benefits for employed citizens are paid by the employer within the enterprise budget, and then the Social Insurance Fund reimburses him for the money spent.

Federal Law No. 81 establishes that any parent of the child, his guardian or family member actually involved in care has the right to apply for social benefits “for the care of a child up to one and a half years old.” The only condition here is the transfer of social insurance contributions for the applicant for benefits (availability of SNILS).

Both working citizens and those with unemployed status can apply for monthly payments. If an applicant for receiving social benefits is officially employed, he can apply for benefits to the employer or directly to the regional department of the Social Insurance Fund.

Important! If an applicant for receiving social benefits was officially employed in several places, then an application should be submitted to choose one of the places of work. At the same time, other places of employment will need to provide certificates stating that they did not accept a similar application.

Unemployed citizens and full-time students should contact the (USZN) Department of Social Protection of the Population at the place of registration.

The right to claim this benefit begins from the end of the mother’s maternity leave. The end date is indicated on the sick leave certificate. This is approximately 70 days after the baby’s birthday (86 days if there are complications, 110 days if there are multiple pregnancies).

Registration procedure

You should apply for a monthly allowance for caring for a child up to one and a half years from the end of maternity leave to six months from the moment the child turns 1.5 years old.

First of all, you need to prepare a package of documents according to the established checklist and submit them to the accounting department at your place of work or to the regional office of the USZN.

All payments must be calculated and accrued within ten days from the date of application. The employer transfers money on the day of payment of the advance or salary; representatives of the USZN send the money by mail or transfer it through a bank.

Minimum and maximum level established for benefits in 2018

The minimum level of social benefits for child care up to 1.5 years of age depends, first of all, on whether the applicant is employed or not.

For unemployed citizens, the minimum threshold for cash payments was indexed on February 1 of this year. Today, non-working family members or guardians of the child caring for children, as well as those who are in emergency situations, will receive:

• 3163.79 rubles for the first child in the family;
• 6327.57 rubles for the second and each subsequent child.

Caregivers who have less than 2 years of official experience in their work record or a low salary can apply for:

• 3795.60 rubles for the first child;
• 6327.57 rubles for the second and each subsequent one.

Important! Regional coefficients due to citizens living in regions with difficult conditions are applicable to these amounts.

The maximum amount of social benefits for citizens dismissed due to the liquidation of an enterprise is 12,655.17 rubles. For all other categories, the maximum payment amount should not exceed 24,536.57 rubles.

Calculation of the amount of benefits for working citizens

The amount of monthly benefits for working citizens is calculated using the formula:

• EDV is the amount of monthly benefits.
• SDZ – average daily earnings. The calculation is taken for the period of the previous two years.
• 30.4 – average annual number of days in a month.
• 0.4 – 40% of the SDZ value.

Using this formula, you can independently calculate the amount of benefits due.

Important! If, after calculation, the amount of monthly payments is less than the established minimum, then the caring citizen will receive benefits at the established minimum level.

New childcare benefits for children under 1.5 years old born in 2018

President of the Russian Federation V.V. On December 28, 2017, Putin adopted a new state law on child benefits. This law came into full legal force on January 1, 2018 in all territories of the Russian Federation (Federal Law No. 418).

According to the new law, parents or guardians of the first child in the family born in 2018 have the right to receive a targeted monthly social benefit in the amount of the regional subsistence minimum (about 10 - 10.5 thousand rubles). In addition, from January 1, 2018, parents of a second or subsequent child can apply for monthly payments from unused maternity capital.

The new law was adopted as part of the social support program for low-income and needy families. This means that not every family is eligible to receive the new benefit. To apply, the following conditions must be met:

1. The applicant permanently resides in the Russian Federation.
2. The child was born no earlier than January 1, 2018.
3. The child is a citizen of Russia.
4. The amount of income per person in a family is no more than the regional subsistence level multiplied by one and a half times.

Any relative or guardian of the child who is actually involved in caring for the child has the right to receive the new benefit. You should apply for a new social benefit to the authorized social protection authorities at your place of residence directly or through the nearest MFC.

Please note that when applying for a new benefit after the child is six months old, payments for the past period will not be made. That is, the benefit will be established from the date of application. If the application is received by the social security authorities before the baby reaches six months of age, then payments will affect the entire period from the moment of his birth.

If the above conditions are met, the parents of the second or subsequent child have the right to regular cash payments from unused maternity capital in the amount of the regional subsistence level (about 10 - 10.5 thousand rubles). The application for these payments should be submitted directly to the employees of the Pension Fund or through the nearest MFC.

The recipient of the benefit will be a person who has a certificate for receiving maternity capital. You can submit an application for payments at the same time as an application for the issuance of the certificate itself.

Funds received from the capital amount are allowed to be spent for any purpose, and not just in areas prescribed by the government.

Important! All listed payments are assigned for a period of 1 year, after which it is necessary to resubmit the application.
