Benefits for large families in 2019

Basic benefits for large families are established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 431 of May 5, 1992 “On measures for social support of large families”. It is important to note that according to this Decree, the criteria for large families and need are determined regional authorities. Families who meet the established requirements are entitled to:

    • allocation of land for these purposes;
    • benefits for collecting land tax;
    • free swearing assistance or interest-free loans to reimburse the costs of developing such an economy.
11. If parents with many children want to implement some another small business option, then they will also be relied upon:

    • full or partial exemption from paying registration fees for entrepreneurs.
12. Regional employment programs should take into account the need to employ parents of many children: including temporary, on a flexible schedule, at home, and also (if necessary) with their training and retraining (depending on what specialists are in demand in the region).

Maternity (family) capital

Provided once at the birth of the 2nd or subsequent child, starting in 2007. At the birth of subsequent children, size does not increase, and again he not issued.

However, in some regions of the country it is provided. It is issued in addition to the federal one, but its size and conditions for receiving it are very differ from region to region. Typically, the requirements include:

• Russian citizenship;
• long-term family residence in a specific area;
• the date of birth of the child is limited to a certain period;
• the family income level should not exceed the established amount;
• number of children in the family, etc.

Benefit for 3 children under 3 years old

Presidential Decree No. 606 of 05/07/2012 recommended that in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation it be established in the amount of the regional child subsistence minimum (ML) for the 3rd child (and, as a rule, each subsequent child) until he reaches 3 years of age. As a result, such payments implemented differently everywhere:

• every month or once a quarter;
• the child's monthly minimum allowance may be paid in full, or another amount established by local legislation may be paid (often less than the monthly minimum);
• Sometimes indexation is provided, and sometimes there is an approved amount that does not change from year to year.

Conditions for receiving also vary by region: the right to benefits may arise depending on the level of family income, date of birth and even the number of children (payments may be prescribed starting not from the 3rd child, but from the 4th or 5th).

Land plot for large families

Clause 6 of Art. 39.5 of the Land Code (LK) of the Russian Federation provides for the free provision of ownership of a land plot to citizens with 3 or more children. However, the procedure and additional conditions for its provision are determined by regional authorities.

So, for example, parents must be registered with the administration as those in need of housing or they must have grounds for such registration.

In addition, regional authorities may offer the family another option for providing housing or monetary compensation instead of providing a plot. This option is possible only with the consent of each specific family.

Features of the implementation of this benefit for large families differ considerably between subjects of the Russian Federation. To find out exactly what you can get and under what conditions in a particular region, it makes sense to contact to the local administration.

Tax benefits

In accordance with clause 4, part 1, art. 218 of the Tax Code (TC) of the Russian Federation, for the third child and subsequent children the standard is 3000 rubles, while for the first and second - according to 1400 rubles. These tax benefits are summed up taking into account all children under 18 years of age (or up to 24 for full-time education).

For those who have three or more minor children, Federal Law No. 63-FZ of April 15, 2019 “On amendments to part two of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation...” are provided additional options reducing the tax burden:

1. When paying property tax it is not taken into account 5 sq. m apartments or 7 sq. m private house for each child under the age of 18.
2. When paying land tax it is not taken into account "6 acres" from the area of ​​one plot (at the taxpayer’s choice).

Pension benefits

Many parents may know that the period of care for each child is up to 1.5 years is counted towards the insurance period for calculating pensions. According to clause 3, part 1, art. 12 of Federal Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 “About insurance pensions”, in total can be taken into account no more than 6 years, which implies the duration of care for 4 children.

Moreover, for the specified periods, so-called points (individual pension coefficients - IPC) are awarded, their value increases depending on the order of birth of children in family. So, for a full calendar year of care one of the parents is entitled to:

• 1.8 points - for the first child;
• 3.6 - for the second;
• 5.4 - for the third or fourth.

Accordingly, for one and a half years of care will be charged 1.5 times more points.

In addition, mothers of many children can (if they have at least 30 points and at least 15 years of insurance experience), if they have raised children under 8 years of age:

• five - already upon reaching the age of 50 years;
• four - upon reaching 56 years of age;
• three - at 57 years old.

State awards

In addition to the payments and benefits listed above, parents with many children who approach raising their children with special responsibility and care can qualify for state and regional awards.

Thus, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 775 of May 13, 2008, the order was established "Parental Glory", along with which a one-time cash incentive is also issued in the amount of 100,000 rub. Parents (adoptive parents) have the opportunity to receive the award. at least 7 children- citizens of the Russian Federation - subject to the following conditions:

• the youngest child is about to turn at least 3 years;
• all children at the time of awarding must be alive(except for cases of death in defense of the Fatherland, its interests, in the performance of civil, official or military duty);
• Adopted children must be supported and raised in a family with dignity at least 5 years;
• family should set an example exemplary upbringing, harmonious and comprehensive development, leading a healthy lifestyle.

A number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation provide for awards (including medals and insignia) "Mother's Glory", which may also be accompanied by material rewards (depending on the capabilities of a particular region of the country).

Social payments, benefits and benefits for large families

Other regions have their own social legislation, so social support measures (benefits, benefits, compensation payments, etc.) for large families may differ somewhat from those given here in Moscow.

But they probably exist, and to receive social assistance for large families, you should contact your regional social welfare unit.

The large family- a family in which three or more children were born and (or) raised (including adopted children, as well as stepchildren and stepchildren) until the youngest of them reaches the age of 16 years, and those studying in an educational institution implementing general education programs - 18 years old.

The following are not taken into account as part of a large family:

• children who are fully supported by the state, and
• children in respect of whom parents have been deprived of parental rights or have limited parental rights.

From January 1, 2014, the amounts of compensation payments to large families in Moscow were approved Decree of the Moscow Government of December 17, 2013 N 851-PP.

The state provides financial assistance for certain categories of citizens. There are quite a lot of programs that provide support. They are carried out by both social protection authorities and employers.

A fairly wide range of people who find themselves in a difficult situation may qualify for help, so it is best, before you start collecting documents, to contact social security and find out which program you will be able to qualify for in 2019. Below we will describe the most popular community outreach programs.

Target contracts

At the end of 2012, changes were made to the laws on social assistance. A new type of support has appeared - concluding contracts with the population. In 2018-2019, these amendments remain relevant. The state, under the terms of this agreement, issues social assistance (including financial assistance), and the citizen undertakes to undergo an adaptation program and fulfill one of the conditions:

• job search;
• undergoing training in a specific profession;
• completing advanced training programs;
• opening your own small business;
• farming.

First of all, the opportunity to receive this type of support is available to needy families who are in difficult situations. According to data from the regions in which the project was implemented as a pilot, 50% of families were able to get out of a difficult life situation, and their income more than doubled. Currently, the program operates throughout Russia. In 2019, its implementation is being carried out with the help of social protection specialists and the Employment Center.

How to get help for large families

Large families can also become applicants for assistance from the state in 2019. They are supported in several ways - in the form of benefits, allowances and payments once a year. For example, in a number of regions, before September 1, large families receive funds to pay for their children’s school fees. A prerequisite is the upbringing of all children in the family, and not in special children's institutions.

Federal law provides for subsidies for large families in the form of reductions in monthly utility bills, child benefits, and payments to mothers (they are treated the same as working people and can receive 1 minimum wage until the youngest child turns 16 years old). Also, families with 3 or more children can receive a plot of land on preferential terms for farming or building a country house.

Regional payments are more varied. First of all, for the 3rd or 4th child, regional maternity capital is assigned (about 100,000 rubles, which can be used for the same needs as the federal one). There are a number of payments that compensate for the cost of purchasing goods for newborns, food and clothing.

For a complete list of benefits you may qualify for, contact your local Social Security office. Increasingly, with the advent of the third and subsequent children, the income of family members is not enough to provide everyone with a decent standard of living. In this case, pay attention to payments to the poor.

Financial support program for the poor

The amount of money per family member is calculated based on data on the income of all able-bodied adults in it. It is necessary to submit certificates for the last three months to the social security authorities. The income amounts are added together and then divided among all family members. If the amount received is below the minimum subsistence level established in the region, then the family receives a special status. She becomes poor.

Every year the cost of living is indexed; in 2019, each region has its own value. You can find out about it at the administration of your district or at the social security department. Its average value in Russia this year is 8,200 rubles.

In some cases no assistance is provided. For example, if the family has one or more able-bodied members, but they do not want to work. The only exceptions are the following cases:

• the need to care for children or elderly relatives;
• loss of property due to reasons beyond the control of the applicants;
• maternity leave;
• inability to go to work due to serious illness.

However, increasingly, assistance is provided only to those families in which all able-bodied members are registered as unemployed or employed (earnings may be minimal). At the same time, the composition of the family can be different, and often it is not only parents and children, but also grandparents and grandchildren.

In 2019, in addition to benefits for education, taxes and housing and communal services, other assistance to the poor is provided. For example, a child has access to the following list of support measures:

1. Meals twice a day in the canteen for school students.
2. Providing a place on the list of beneficiaries.
3. Subsidies for the purchase or free issuance of school and sports uniforms.
4. Children under 6 years of age are prescribed free medicines for illnesses.
5. Once a year, compensation is 50% of the cost of travel for treatment in a sanatorium (applies to one accompanying person).

It became possible for parents in such families to receive:

1. Preferential working conditions.
2. Beginning entrepreneurs do not need to pay a fee for opening an individual entrepreneur.
3. Reducing the retirement age.
4. Obtaining a garden plot out of turn.
5. Lower mortgage requirements and interest rates.
6. Tickets for visiting exhibitions and museum displays (no more than once a month).
7. State payment for nanny services (this assistance is available only to residents of large cities, and details about it can only be found in the social security department at your place of residence).

In addition, it is possible to pay financial assistance in the form of benefits or one-time transfers, which is regulated by regional laws.

Other types of government support in 2019

In 2019, needy WWII veterans can receive one-time targeted assistance of up to 15,000 rubles for the purchase of necessary household appliances, replacement of plumbing equipment or dental prosthetics.

To do this, you need to collect basic documents, write an application and prove the need to purchase equipment or prosthetics. Money to pay for dental services is the easiest to give - to do this, you just need to bring the relevant certificates and an extract from the outpatient card to social security.

The current measures to help citizens with 3 or more children are based on the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On measures of social support for large families” dated 05.05.1992 No. 431. The document is valid, although it has been amended several times.

The benefits provided for by this decree relate to various areas of life: payment of utilities, provision of land, provision of schoolchildren with food and uniforms, obtaining credits and loans on preferential terms, assistance in creating farms or commercial organizations, etc.

The responsibility for providing comprehensive assistance to a large family is assigned by this decree to the regional authorities, in connection with which each subject of our country has adopted its own legislation on measures to support citizens raising 3 or more children (or another number required by the legislation of the region to recognize a family with many children ). That is, each region has its own rules for providing benefits to such families, but a number of important support measures are also established at the federal level.

For more information about state and social support measures, see: What assistance does the state provide to large families? and What are the measures of social support for large families? .

Tax benefits for large families under personal income tax

Benefits for persons with 3 or more children at the federal level are provided for personal income tax (NDFL). It does not matter whether the family has officially received the status of having many children. The personal income tax benefit is that the standard deduction for the third and each subsequent child is provided in a larger amount (3,000 rubles) compared to the deduction for the first and second (1,400 rubles). If there is only one parent in the family, then the amount of the deduction increases by 2 times.

What is due for the 3rd child? Let's look at the use of deductions using an example. If in a family with 3 children both father and mother work, then each of them will receive a deduction in the amount of 5,800 rubles. (1,400 rubles for the first child + 1,400 rubles for the second + 3,000 rubles for the third). That is, monthly income tax will not be charged on the part of income (salary, etc.) equal to 5,800 rubles.

The right to deduction is retained if an adult child is studying full-time (up to 24 years of age). If the eldest child in the family has reached the age of 18 (the student is 24), a deduction of 3,000 rubles is still provided for the third child born in the family. But as soon as a person’s total income for the year exceeds 350,000 rubles, the opportunity to receive a standard deduction is lost.

Regional tax incentives for large families

In many regions of the federation, citizens with many children have concessions in paying taxes on land and transport. They can be either in the form of complete tax exemption or in the form of a reduced tax rate. Thus, in the capital, one of the parents in a large family does not pay tax for 1 car.

You can find out whether such benefits are available for a large family in a particular region at the tax office at your place of residence. To apply for a benefit, you will need to submit an application to the tax authority, attaching documents confirming your right to it.

Don't know your rights?

What benefits are available to large families in the labor sphere?

The benefits for a large family, enshrined in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, do not depend on whether this status is officially formalized. The only thing that matters is whether the employee has young children.

An employee with 2 or more children under 14 years of age may be granted additional leave (no more than 14 days), which will not be paid. The right to this leave is secured in the collective agreement concluded between the employer and employees. The parent chooses the time of receiving such leave independently.

An employer does not have the right to dismiss an employee on his own initiative if the following conditions are simultaneously met:

• the employee is the sole breadwinner of a child under 3 years of age;
• the family has 3 or more young children;
• the other parent is unemployed.

The exception is dismissal during the liquidation of an enterprise, for repeated or gross violation of labor duties, commission of an offense by a person working with material assets, and other similar situations.

The Law “On Insurance Pensions” dated December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ states that the period of child care up to 1.5 years is included in the length of service giving the right to an old-age pension. Maximum experience includes no more than 6 years of child care. In other words, large families can receive this benefit not only for the first and second, but also for the third or fourth child.

Parents with many children who have registered for unemployment have a priority right to learn a new specialty and find employment. Specific job selection programs for unemployed citizens are approved at the regional level.

Benefits for large families

Benefits for large families are established both by federal laws and at the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Speaking about what large families are entitled to, it should be noted that they have the right to all the payments that other parents receive. In addition, in many cases the number of children affects the amount of the benefit, and most regions have introduced a separate benefit for the third child.

A lump sum birth benefit is provided for each child born alive. It is paid at the place of work of one of the parents. And if both of them are not employed, then the payment is made by the Social Security Administration. Since adoptive parents also have all the rights of parents with many children, one cannot fail to mention a one-time benefit when transferring children to a family (including adoption). It is paid for each child adopted into the family.

If a child care benefit for up to 1.5 years is assigned to a non-working parent, then the number of children also matters. The benefit for caring for the second and subsequent children is 2 times higher than the payment for the first child.

The benefit for the third child was introduced on January 1, 2013 in 53 subjects of the federation, the birth rate in which is lower than in the country as a whole (including in the capital and St. Petersburg). In 2017, its payment continues in 51 regions. At the expense of the regional budget, low-income and large families are awarded a monthly allowance for a child under 16 years of age. It should be noted that large families are entitled to it, provided that the income per person is less than the subsistence level.

For more information about the amounts and conditions for granting benefits to a large family in 2017-2018, see:.

What is required for 3 or more children in Moscow?

Most support measures related to raising 3 or more children are addressed to both parents, one of the parents, minor children or the family as a whole. But there are a number of advantages designed only for mothers with many children. This is due to the fact that the birth of several children represents a serious burden on the female body, and also due to the fact that it is the mother (most often) who is largely involved in raising a young child.

The Law “On Insurance Pensions in the Russian Federation” stipulates that pensions are accrued from the age of 50:

• mothers who gave birth to 5 or more children, raised them until the age of eight and have an insurance record of 15 years;
• women who have given birth to 2 or more children and have worked for 12 years in the Far North or 17 years in equivalent areas (20 years of experience required).

Support measures for mothers of many children can also be introduced at the level of federal subjects. Thus, in Moscow there is free assistance for women who have given birth and raised 10 or more children, which includes:

• production of dentures (except for dentures made of expensive materials) in state medical institutions;
• receiving medications prescribed by doctors at state outpatient medical institutions.

In addition, mothers of 10 or more children receiving a pension (of any type) are entitled to monthly compensation in the amount of 10,000 rubles.

Benefits for large families in Moscow

The largest number of benefits for large families is provided in the capital. The Law “On Social Support for Families with Children in the City of Moscow” provides for the following types of in-kind assistance for such families:

• free provision of baby food for children under 3 years of age;
• free provision of medicines to children under 6 years of age;
• free meals in schools (2 times a day);
• free travel on public transport;
• the right of preferential enrollment in kindergartens;
• reduction of fees for kindergartens (if there are 10 or more children - exemption from fees);
• benefits for housing and housing and communal services;
• free visit to the zoo, once a month to the museum, discounted tickets to cultural institutions;
• advantage in obtaining land for gardening;
• free access to baths run by the city.

An impressive number of payments for 2017 for residents with 3 or more children was established by decree of the capital government dated December 6, 2016 No. 816-PP:

• due to the increase in the cost of living (600 rubles per month - for citizens with 3-4 children, 750 rubles - if there are more children);
• for the purchase of children's goods (900 rubles per month - for families with 5 or more children);
• a family raising 10 or more children (750 rubles every month for a child under 16 years old and a student under 23 years old);
• for a family with 10 or more children, for Family Day and Knowledge Day (10,000 rubles and 15,000 rubles, respectively);
• compensation for housing and housing and communal services (522 rubles every month for a family with 3-4 children, 2 times more if there are 5 or more children);
• for using the phone (230 rubles per month);
• to buy clothes for school (once a year, 5,000 rubles per student).

Benefits for citizens with many children are a very important support measure in our time. In recent years, we can note an increase in the number of payments for families raising more than one child. Such government policy is necessary to overcome the demographic crisis in our country.

Being parents of many children is a lot of work. Our state encourages the birth of children, but, alas, large families, as a rule, are less aware of their rights than all other “beneficiaries”. They always have no time, they always do everything on the fly, and, accordingly, they do not process everything that they are supposed to.

We'll help you figure it out.

According to the law, a large family is recognized as a family in which three or more children were born and (or) raised (including adopted children, as well as stepchildren and stepchildren) until the youngest of them reaches the age of 16 years, and students studying in an educational institution that implements general education programs - 18 years. As part of a large family, children who are fully supported by the state and children in respect of whom parents have been deprived of parental rights or have limited parental rights are not taken into account.

So, your family lives in Moscow, and you have three or more children (well, or a third child in the near future). What are you entitled to?

4. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

First of all, you need to obtain a certificate for a large family. The certificate is issued based on your application to the local social security authority. The application must be accompanied by a list of documents (passports of parents, birth certificates of children, as well as other documents required by this authority).

Do not hesitate to present your ID for a large family at entertainment and cultural institutions where you are entitled to benefits. This should not be regarded either by you, or, especially, by those around you, as begging. Knowing your rights is only half the battle; the most important thing is to be able to implement them. Your family is a role model, and the help that the state provides you is gratitude for your hard, but very important work!
