Child care for the unemployed. Payments to unemployed pregnant women. What compensation is due

The upcoming birth of a baby is a joyful event in the life of every woman, but at the same time it is also very troublesome, since it is associated with a large number of expenses associated with purchases for the child.

Women who have a permanent job with a good salary, from which the necessary contributions to the Social Insurance Fund are deducted, do not have to fear for their future, since they are assigned 100% of earnings.

It is much more difficult for women who do not work anywhere or work without formalizing their relationship with the employer.

Legislative framework of the issue

Legal regulation of payments to unemployed women is carried out in accordance with the Federal Law “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children.”

In accordance with this legal norm, the obligation to pay benefits is borne by the state from budget money. The total amount of subventions is determined in proportion to the number of women without employment.

The Government of the Russian Federation plans upcoming expenses taking into account the information provided by the constituent entities of the federation and sends them the required amount of funds. Information on the amounts of cash payments should come from the lower level, which are antenatal clinics, where a woman is registered from the first days of pregnancy. State services in the field of labor and social relations must process the received data and send them to the Government for the formation of a budget for future periods.

Incoming funds are credited to social security authorities, which are entrusted with the functions of distributing benefits. Funding is targeted and cannot be used for other needs.

List and amount of benefits for non-working mothers

Unemployed women who are expecting a child or have already given birth must decide what type of benefit they intend to receive: for child care or in connection with the assignment of unemployed status. Receiving both at the same time is not allowed.

Let's consider state maternity benefits regulated by state regulations for non-working women, depending on the specific situation:

Women who didn't work at all cannot qualify for maternity leave;

They can only count on a one-time allowance when registering with a housing complex, one-time state support for the appearance of an heir and monthly assistance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old. The amount of these payments remained the same.

Registration procedure

All payments to unemployed women are made through social protection system.

To receive funds, you will need to provide the following, depending on your membership in a certain category of unemployed: documentation:

Legislation deadlines have been set, to which a woman has the right to apply for maternity benefits - until the child is 6 months old. But, as a rule, the expectant mother submits an application before the birth of the child, at 30 weeks of pregnancy.

The OSZN, having received an application for benefits, must issue a corresponding order within 10 days and notify the woman in labor about it.

Benefits for women registered with the Employment Center

Women who were fired and at the same time registered with the regional employment center are entitled to state material support.

If pregnancy occurs when the expectant mother is already registered as unemployed, she will receive an amount equal to:

• 75% of salary– first three months;
• 60% - next 3 months.

As a person without employment, a woman has the right to count on assistance in the amount of 1500 to 8000 rubles.

Until the newborn turns 1.5 years old, his mother will receive all types of payments regulated by law. Then she will need to register again and continue looking for work.

State assistance to unemployed single mothers

Women who are unmarried and independently raising a child (born or adopted) have the right additionally In addition to the payments that any woman is entitled to, receive assistance in the form of:

In accordance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On state benefits for persons with children” targeted assistance to single mothers assigned to the subjects of the country.

Depending on the region carried out:

• payment of benefits until the age of 3 years;
• benefits are also paid once a month until the child turns 16 years old;
• When a child is studying full-time at an educational institution, payments can be accrued up to 23 years of age.

The amount of payments to pregnant women depends on whether they have a permanent paid job; unfortunately, employment issues are classified as problems, since most women of childbearing age after studying at the institute cannot find work or are forced to work without an official entry in the work book.

On the other hand, the state seeks to stimulate working women in this way and at the same time provides support to those who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own.

The specifics of making these payments for unemployed mothers are outlined in the following video:

The size and quantity of child benefits entitled to a woman who is temporarily disabled due to maternity primarily depends on the amount of her salary. The law establishes that the amount of payments from the Social Insurance Fund is proportional to the average income for the two previous years preceding the year of birth of the child. But non-working parents (other persons caring for a child) can also count on children's social benefits. For example, children's payments in the minimum amount, both in the form of compulsory social insurance and in the form of state support, are awarded to the mother in two cases:

If she is declared unemployed within 12 months from the date of dismissal from her job until the birth of the child, due to the cancellation (closure) of the enterprise;

If she was fired for the same reason while on maternity leave.

For other categories of non-working parents, the law provides for the payment of child benefits in a minimum quantity and minimum amount in the form of state social security. This category of benefits is paid at the Social Security Department or at the place of study (if the parent is a full-time student).

The procedure for calculating maternity payments to unemployed and non-working parents in 2019

Law No. 81-FZ, issued on May 19, 1995, establishes a list of categories of unemployed citizens who are entitled to various types of social children's benefits, including payments for pregnancy, at the birth of a child, as well as for caring for a child under 1.5 years of age.

If an unemployed person simultaneously has the right to receive several benefits, for example, child care benefits and unemployment benefits, according to the law, only one type of payment can be accrued.

As for the second category of citizens (a woman was recognized as unemployed for a year due to the liquidation of an enterprise), Federal Law No. 81 classifies her as a recipient of benefits as compulsory social insurance. But since at the time of the insured event the woman is no longer in an employment relationship, the formation and payment of benefits is carried out by the department of social protection of the population in the form of standard state support.

In addition, the law allows that the list of child benefits for unemployed parents can be supplemented with regional payments, the amount of which depends on the decision of specific constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

List of benefits for unemployed pregnant women and unemployed mothers in 2019

As follows from the table, the mother/father, as well as other persons caring for the child, regardless of social status and the presence of an employment relationship, are entitled to the following benefits:

Child benefits in case of liquidation of an enterprise

The law establishes that child benefits to persons subject to compulsory insurance in connection with disability associated with pregnancy and maternity, living in those regions of the country that do not participate in the pilot program “Direct Payments” from the Social Insurance Fund, are paid at the actual place of work. However, cases are not uncommon when, at the time of registration of maternity payments, the activity of an enterprise is canceled due to its liquidation, funds in the organization’s account are arrested, the employer is declared bankrupt, etc. Taking into account possible risks, the Russian Ministry of Labor developed administrative regulation No. 653 dated September 22, 2014, according to which, if the employer cannot fulfill its obligations to a subordinate who went on maternity leave, the payment of child benefits is carried out through the territorial department of the Social Insurance Fund, in which he was employed. or is an employer.

To calculate the required benefits, a woman should contact the Social Insurance Fund department, providing the following list of documents:

Application for child benefits;

Certificate of salary from the place of work (if it is impossible to obtain this document, the woman must write a request for information about salary, remuneration and other payments);

A court decision indicating the fact of non-payment of child benefits at the place of work;

Birth (adoption) certificate of the child, as well as documents of previous children;

A document from the social welfare department for the second parent, which states that he did not receive the corresponding benefit.

To apply for direct payments from the Social Insurance Fund, the applicant can submit documents both during a personal visit and electronically (through the Fund’s website, the government services portal and the “My Documents” tool of the MFC).

Many non-working (unemployed) expectant mothers are interested in the question of benefits due in connection with maternity and childhood. Are they entitled to benefits and, if so, what payments can they expect and in what amount?

Maternity benefit for unemployed people

As a general rule, if a woman did not work or quit before (during) pregnancy, then maternity benefits for such women not assigned or paid, except in situations where:

• the woman was dismissed due to the liquidation of the organization, termination of activities by individuals as individual entrepreneurs, termination of powers by notaries engaged in private practice, and termination of the status of a lawyer within 12 months preceding the day they were recognized as unemployed in the prescribed manner (paragraph 2, article 6 of the Federal Law -81 dated May 19, 1995 as amended by December 5, 2006 N 207-FZ). The benefit is paid from federal budget funds allocated to the Social Insurance Fund. In addition to federal payments, local authorities can pay additional maternity benefits to such women from the budget of the relevant entity;
• woman, studying full-time on a paid or free basis in educational institutions of primary vocational, secondary vocational and higher professional education, in institutions of postgraduate vocational education ( pp. “c”, clause 9 of the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated December 23, 2009 No. 1012n). Benefit is paid in the amount of scholarship at the expense of funds from the federal budget and budgets of constituent entities of the Russian Federation allocated to educational institutions for the payment of scholarships.

Unemployed pregnant woman and the employment center (labour exchange)

If a woman quits her job for any reason, she will be able to register with the employment service (register as unemployed) and receive unemployment benefits (in 2019, the minimum unemployment benefit is 1,500 rubles, the maximum is 8,000 rubles) before maternity leave.

However, women registered with the employment service They are not entitled to maternity benefits and the employment center does not pay benefits.

Unemployment benefits are not paid during maternity leave, so the woman provides the certificate of incapacity for work received at 30 weeks to the employment center. During the time specified in the certificate of incapacity for work, the center specialist does not schedule visits to the employment service.

If, at the end of this leave, the woman is ready to look for work and start it, then the payment of unemployment benefits will resume (if the payment period has not expired); if she is not ready, then payments will be suspended for the period of maternity leave.

The period of pregnancy and the period of maternity leave are not grounds for deregistration as unemployed.

One-time benefit for women registered in the early stages of pregnancy for non-workers

Since benefits for registration in the early stages of pregnancy (up to 12 weeks) are assigned additionally to maternity benefits and is paid at destination and payment maternity benefits, then unemployed pregnant women They have no right to to receive this payment.

Again, the only exceptions are women dismissed due to the liquidation of the organization and full-time students.

In addition to federal payments, Moscow provides a one-time payment for registration with medical institutions (up to 20 weeks). This payment is assigned to a woman (registered at her place of residence in Moscow) in RUSZN regardless of the fact of work, study or service, upon presentation of a certificate of the established form ( Letter of the Moscow Department of Health dated November 8, 2006 N 33-18-3165).

Receipt by unemployed persons of a one-time benefit upon the birth of a child

One of the parents has the right to receive a lump sum benefit upon the birth of a child. In the event of the birth of two or more children, a lump sum benefit is assigned and paid for each child.

The answer to the question of where to receive this benefit depends on the husband of a non-working woman:

• if one of the parents works and the other does not work, a lump sum allowance for the birth of a child is assigned and paid at the place of work parent. Therefore, if the child’s father works, then only he will be able to receive a lump sum benefit at his place of work.
• if both parents do not work or are studying full-time in educational institutions of primary, secondary and higher vocational education and institutions of postgraduate vocational education, a lump sum benefit at the birth of a child is assigned and paid social protection authority population at the place of residence (place of stay, place of actual residence) of one of the parents.

Monthly allowance for caring for a non-working child

A monthly child care allowance is assigned to unemployed women in the event their failure to receive unemployment benefits in the social protection authorities at the place of residence from the day the child is born until the day the child turns one and a half years old.

Payment of monthly child care benefits to student mothers studying full-time is carried out:

• from the date of birth of the child to the day the child turns one and a half years old - in case of choosing a monthly child care benefit;
• from the day following the end of maternity leave until the day the child turns one and a half years old - in case of choosing maternity benefits.

The benefit is assigned no later than 10 days from the date of receipt of the application with all the necessary documents. Payment of benefits is carried out by social security authorities through post offices or credit organizations indicated by the recipients of benefits on a monthly basis, no later than the 26th day of the month, based on the minimum amount of benefits.

Required documents:

• application for benefits;
• birth certificate of the child(ren) being cared for and its copy;
• birth certificate of the previous child and its copy (in the event of the death of the previous child, a death certificate and its copy must be submitted);

• a copy of the work book, certified in the prescribed manner, with presentation of an identity document
• a certificate from the state employment service about non-payment of unemployment benefits (with the exception of persons studying full-time in educational institutions);
• document confirming cohabitation of a child with one of the parents on the territory of the Russian Federation caring for him, issued by an organization authorized to issue him ( pp. “k” clause 54 of the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated December 23, 2009 No. 1012n);
• a certificate from the place of study confirming that the person is studying full-time, a certificate from the place of study about maternity benefits previously paid to the mother of the child - for persons studying full-time in educational institutions.

If a woman applies to the social protection authorities at the place of actual residence, in addition to the documents, a certificate from the social protection authority at the place of registration is submitted, confirming that the monthly child care allowance was not assigned or paid.

If an unemployed woman did not work anywhere before giving birth, then she cannot take advantage of maternity leave, since the leave presupposes a break from work duties, therefore other family members (working father, grandmother) are also not entitled to take leave for themselves and receive benefits. .

The amount of benefits for citizens with children in regions and localities where regional wage coefficients are established is determined using these coefficients.

Summary table of benefits received by a non-working woman.

Benefits	Federal	Place receiving	Regional (Moscow, MO)	Place receiving
Maternity benefit	–	–	–	–
One-time benefit for women registered in the early stages of pregnancy	–	–	Paid in Moscow	RUSZN
One-time benefit for the birth of a child	Paid	If the husband works - by husband's place of work If it doesn’t work, go to RUSZN If he studies, the husband does not work - in RUSZN	Paid in some regions it depends on the level of income (for example, in the Moscow Region) In Moscow, regardless of the average per capita family income	RUSZN
Monthly child care allowance	Paid	RUSZN	Paid at a certain level of family income *	RUSZN

Thus, a non-working (unemployed) mother does not receive the following types of benefits:

1. Maternity benefits;
2. One-time benefit for women registered in the early stages of pregnancy (up to 12 weeks);
3. Monthly compensation payment from birth to 3 years in the amount of 50 rubles.

It is not uncommon for a woman to become pregnant during a difficult period in her life, such as unemployment. Of course, pregnant women who are officially employed have much more rights. They are entitled to benefits and paid maternity leave. Is maternity leave available for non-workers? What can they count on?

Rights of unemployed pregnant women

It is no secret that it is difficult for a pregnant woman to get a job. And although the law stipulates that an employer does not have the right to refuse to hire a woman because she is pregnant, everyone understands that the employer will always find a reason for the refusal: “lack of experience,” “wrong profile,” etc.

Therefore, in order to have at least some income during these months, any woman who does not have a job can contact the employment center in her area and register. No one can refuse to register her with the employment center because she is pregnant - this is very important.

Once registered, a woman will be able to receive a monthly allowance. Its size depends on what the salary was at the last place of work - provided that the break in work was no more than a year.
In this case, the amount of the benefit will correspond to 75% of average monthly earnings in the first three months, and 60% in the next four months.
If a woman has not worked for more than a year, then the benefit is paid at the minimum rate.
In 2013, on average, the minimum unemployment benefit was 850 rubles, and the maximum was 4,900 rubles before maternity leave.
But it is worth remembering that the rights of unemployed pregnant women to receive unemployment benefits remain only until the thirtieth week of pregnancy.
Then the woman is removed from the unemployment register or taken a break on the basis of sick leave due to going on maternity leave.

And the woman does not have any rights to receive maternity benefits and the Employment Center is not obliged to pay them. If, after the end of maternity leave, a woman is ready to look for work and start it, then the payment of unemployment benefits will resume (if the payment period has not expired); if she is not ready, then payments will be suspended for the period of maternity leave.

What rights to benefits do non-working pregnant women have?

Unfortunately, a non-working expectant mother is entitled to fewer benefits than a working mother. But she still has the right to receive the basic ones.

Maternity benefit

As a general rule, if a woman did not work or quit before (during) pregnancy, then maternity benefits are not assigned or paid to such women, except in cases

If a regional coefficient is established in the region of residence, then it is added to the amount of the benefit. There is also a right to regional benefits. Its size depends on regional authorities and is determined in each specific region separately. To receive child care benefits, a non-working woman must contact the social security service at her place of registration. At the same time, the mother of the child receiving benefits must have the same registration as the child!

The exception is mothers or fathers, other relatives, guardians who actually care for the child, who were fired during the period of parental leave due to the liquidation or termination of the employer's activities. For them, the amount of the benefit is determined as a percentage of average earnings (but not more than 9815.71 rubles per month).

It was reduced due to being on maternity leave and parental leave provides the opportunity to obtain child benefits. The amount of payments is reviewed annually and indexed due to rising prices.

Main aspects

According to the law, maternity payments are provided only to working women, with the exception of the situation when a woman is fired due to the liquidation of an enterprise.

Expectant mothers who are unemployed have no reason to receive maternity benefits.

All payments that they are entitled to are assigned only from the moment the baby is born, namely a lump sum benefit and monthly payments until the child reaches 1.5 years of age.

Initial Concepts

State cash allowance for a child is a certain amount of money that is aimed at ensuring the maintenance and care of the baby.

According to the law, the following are considered non-working:

• women who do not have formal employment;
• women fired from the enterprise a year before going on maternity leave, if they joined the labor exchange;
• wives of conscripts;
• full-time students of technical schools, institutes, colleges;
• Individual entrepreneurs who closed their business and deregistered with the tax service;
• if the enterprise was liquidated while the woman was on maternity leave;
• women notaries or lawyers who have ceased their powers.

List of state aid

The list of state aid available to unemployed women is significantly smaller than for working women. They are entitled to:

• at the birth of a baby;
• child care, which is paid every month;
• Some regions provide additional benefits.

At the federal level, a one-time benefit for unemployed pregnant women registered before the 12th week, as well as maternity benefits, is not provided.

But in some regions additional payments have been established. If a non-working woman is registered in Moscow, then when she contacts an antenatal clinic and registers before the twentieth week of pregnancy, she will receive benefits.

An exception to the assignment of maternity benefits is if the woman was dismissed due to the liquidation of the enterprise or is a full-time student at an educational institution. The future mother-student will receive a benefit equal to the amount of the scholarship.

The legislative framework

Based on two federal regulations, all payments that are due to pregnant women and children until they reach a certain age are regulated:

These regulations clearly spell out all the mechanisms and conditions for determining and assigning benefits. Changes or additions are periodically made to them.

How to arrange maternity payments for a non-working mother in 2019

Non-working mothers can receive two types of benefits. To apply for a one-time payment to social security, you must submit the following package of documents:

• a statement drawn up in any form;
• baby's birth document;
• certificates confirming the fact that the second parent did not apply for this payment
• marriage certificate;
• notarized last pages of the work book.

A young family is given six months from the moment the baby is born to collect all the necessary documents. Payment is made within one month after submitting the application. You can apply for child birth benefits.

Photo: payments to capital families with children

To apply for benefits for a child under one and a half years old, non-working parents must submit to the employment service:

• statement;
• applicant's passport;
• child's birth certificate.

Benefit amount

All maternity payments that are due to non-working mothers are enshrined in law and are mandatory for accrual:

There are maternity benefits that some categories of unemployed mothers can count on.

If a woman was fired during maternity leave or while caring for children:

For mothers who are students, the amount of payments is equal to the amount of the scholarship. If a woman received unemployed status a year after her dismissal:

At the birth of the second baby, the family can apply for maternity capital, its amount is 453,026 rubles.

Up to 1.5 years

When applying for benefits for mothers who did not officially work, it is necessary to provide an additional package of documents:

• a certificate from the employment center stating that the woman is not receiving benefits elsewhere;
• a certificate from the last place of official employment with an order of dismissal;
• income certificate;
• an extract from the work book about the last place of official employment.

For a second child

To receive payments for a second child, a non-working woman must present a similar package of documents.

The amount of the required one-time benefit remains unchanged, but payments for child care until he reaches the age of one and a half years increase and amount to 6,131 rubles 37 kopecks.

According to the law, upon the birth or adoption of a second child, the family has the right to register maternity capital. To obtain it, the employment and social status of the parents does not matter.

Registration procedure

All payments that are due to unemployed women are processed through social security authorities. To receive benefits you must submit:

• pension application;
• a certificate from a medical institution confirming pregnancy;
• document from the employment center confirming receipt of unemployed status;
• extract from the work book;
• in case of liquidation of the enterprise, it is necessary to provide a document from the tax service.

To receive benefits, a woman must apply to a government agency within six months after giving birth, but expectant mothers usually submit applications before the baby is born.

The social security service must issue an order to accrue benefits within ten days and inform the mother in labor about this.

Features when registering with the Employment Center

A pregnant woman who does not have official employment will not receive payments related to pregnancy and childbirth when registering with the labor exchange; she only has the right to receive payments in connection with unemployment.

Payments stop when maternity leave begins, and the woman is issued a certificate of incapacity for work.

This occurs at the thirtieth week of pregnancy and during this time no payments are made to the woman.

State support for single mothers

For single mothers, no additional payments related to pregnancy, childbirth and child care are provided.

The main types of government support are:

• cash benefits;
• labor benefits;
• double tax deduction;
• receiving up to three years of free medications;
• Spa treatment;
• obtaining dairy products for up to two years;
• free meals at school.

In addition to federal payments, single mothers have the opportunity to receive additional pensions from local authorities, since, according to the law, this issue can be regulated independently at the regional level.

For this reason, throughout the country, payments that a single mother receives can vary greatly depending on the region of residence.

Unemployed pregnant women can only claim two categories of payments that are established at the federal level.

But according to the law, local governments can independently assign additional benefits. All these measures are aimed at supporting families raising children.
