State payments to pregnant women. Benefits and benefits during pregnancy

Exciting 9 months fly by unnoticed, and now expectant mother begins to do pleasant chores - preparing a cozy “nest” for her baby, buying him clothes, diapers and toys.

The joyful anticipation of the birth of a toddler is often accompanied by concern about the financial component of the issue. Therefore, expectant mothers and those women who are just planning to expand their family strive to obtain the maximum amount of information about what maternity benefits they are entitled to. Can every pregnant woman count on financial assistance and support from the state? The answer will, unfortunately, be negative. In addition, the amount of financial assistance will be different in each individual case.

Maternity payments in 2017

Maternity payments 2017: types of benefits

There are several types of financial assistance in the form of benefits for women in special situations, which are assigned to expectant mothers in certain cases. What benefits are due during pregnancy?

• “Maternity” – the right to receive this type of financial support is available to women whose pregnancy has “exceeded” 30 weeks (if they are expecting one toddler). If two or more toddlers have settled in a woman’s womb, then she can go on a well-deserved rest from the 28th week.
• A one-time benefit to which expectant mothers who apply to the antenatal clinic in advance are entitled (the waiting period for the baby should not exceed 12 weeks at the time of contacting the antenatal clinic).
• Women in this situation whose spouses are serving in military service can count on a separate type of payment. This type of support for women is also a one-time payment for pregnancy.

Payment of maternity benefits 2017: grounds for receiving financial compensation

When processing any type of payment, and maternity benefits are no exception, it is necessary to provide documentary evidence of the existence of grounds for receiving financial assistance. What documents does the expectant mother need to prepare for calculating benefits?

• Sick leave.
• Application for maternity benefits.
• Certificate of income, on the basis of which the benefit amount will be calculated.

The Social Insurance Fund makes payments for sick leave for pregnancy, which is calculated individually in each case, within 10 days from the date of receipt of information from the enterprise. In addition, there are other nuances when applying for this financial assistance:

• A woman must provide a certificate of incapacity for work to calculate the amount of financial assistance no later than 6 months from the end of her sick leave.
• One of the most important differences between this type of assistance and other benefits for the baby, which the father of the baby can apply for, is that only a woman can apply for this type of payment.
• Financial compensation is not provided to a woman in parallel with her salary. The expectant mother must choose either to receive payments for maternity leave, or she does not interrupt her labor activity and generally receives a salary.

Pregnancy: applicants for payments and benefits 2017

Many pregnant women mistakenly believe that the mere fact of having a toddler in the womb gives them the right to financial benefits from the state. This opinion is wrong. The following can count on financial support:

• Employed women. The amount of assistance is 100% of the average income for the 24 months preceding the maternity leave. If the expectant mother was a part-time worker at several enterprises, each of the organizations is obliged to accrue maternity benefits for the working employee.
• Those who were fired before maternity leave, but managed to register as unemployed during this period.
• Female students undergoing full-time (full-time) studies. Whether the training takes place on a budget or contract basis does not matter. Financial support is calculated based on the amount of the scholarship. To calculate the amount of assistance you are entitled to, please contact the dean’s office.
• Maternity payments to non-working women are also made, although this statement is not true for everyone. Only those unemployed women who were deprived of their jobs due to the liquidation of the organization can apply for payments.
• Women who have registered as individual entrepreneurs. The amount of financial compensation will be influenced by the amount of contributions made to the Social Insurance Fund.
• Women military personnel on a contract basis. To calculate financial assistance in this case, the amount of her financial allowance is taken as the basis.
• Spouses of conscripts.

In addition, if a woman belongs to one of the categories from the list above and plans to adopt a baby under three months old, she can also apply for government assistance.

One-time financial assistance: payments upon registration in early pregnancy 2017

If a pregnant woman applied to the housing complex with the intention of registering in the first weeks (up to the 12th) “ interesting situation", she is entitled to an additional payment. The amount is issued once, its amount is 581.73 rubles. This type of assistance is assigned simultaneously with the accrual of payments for sick leave for pregnancy (“maternity leave”), but no later than 10 days after the submission of a document from the housing complex. The benefit does not exclude other accruals due to the woman, but has a number of features that the expectant mother should be aware of.

Applying for payments and maternity benefits 2017

In general, a woman in a position to receive “maternity” financial support must contact her employer. The following situations are exceptions:

• If, within six months after the end of the period of sick leave issued in connection with the expectation of the baby and its birth, the woman has not contacted the employer for the required payment, she should go to the Social Insurance Fund. And then the fund will decide whether there was a valid reason for absence and whether it is worth calculating state aid.
• The woman is registered as an individual entrepreneur. In this case, she must immediately contact the insurance fund. In this situation, the Social Insurance Fund calculates maternity benefits.
• If, when a woman applies to an organization, the latter has ceased to exist or has insufficient funds in its accounts, the mother must also be sent to the Social Insurance Fund.

List of documents for receiving state compensation

A woman who registered for pregnancy before 12 weeks is entitled to payment not only for maternity sick leave, but also a one-time fixed amount. To complete the latter you will need:

• A document from the LCD (certificate) confirming that the pregnant woman is being observed earlier than 12 weeks of expecting a baby.
• Application for payment of maternity benefits.
• Identity document (passport).

Calculation of maternity benefits in 2017

Financial assistance in connection with the expectation of the baby and its subsequent birth is paid one-time, in full amount for the entire period on the certificate of incapacity for work.

Sick leave period

How many days of rest is a mother entitled to in connection with the upcoming birth of the baby into the world?

• 70 + 70. A total of 140 days is allotted to a mother who is expecting the birth of one baby.
• 70 + 86. A woman receives a total of 156 days of “vacation” if she gave birth to one toddler, but the birth was pathological (caesarean section).
• 84 + 110. A total of 194 days of sick leave should be paid to a woman expecting two or more crumbs.

Upper and lower limits of financial aid

To determine the amount of due payments, the previous decree plays an important role. work experience women.

• If at this point the expectant mother has worked for less than six months, then payment of cash assistance is made on the basis of the minimum wage - the minimum wage rate. Until June 30, 2017, its value is 7,500 rubles, so the amount of the minimum benefit during this period will be equal to
  7500 * 24 /730 * 140 = 34520.00 rub.

From July 1, 2017, it is planned to increase the minimum wage to 7,800 rubles. If this happens, the woman can count on 35901.37 rubles in financial assistance.

• The upper limit of the benefit has also been determined. To calculate it, I use data from 2015 and 2016.

Maximum payment amount 2017 = (718,000 + 680,000) / 730 = 1901.37 * 140 (days of incapacity for work) = 266,191.80 rubles in case natural birth one baby.

If the birth was pathological, the maximum amount of pregnancy benefits will be 353,654.82 rubles. When two or more toddlers are born, the amount of financial assistance is determined in the amount of 368,865.78 rubles.

Rules for calculating the benefit amount

Financial compensation for a woman’s pregnancy and the birth of a baby does not have a clearly defined amount. Its size is influenced by several factors:

• The length of the woman's insurance period.
• Total income for the 2 years that lasted before the start of maternity leave.
• Working hours.

As you can see, the timing of pregnancy registration does not affect maternity benefits. When calculating the amount of state assistance for a certificate of incapacity for work, the following formula is used:

C (benefits amount) = D (average daily earnings) * K (number of sick days - 140, 156 or 194), while the following algorithm is used to determine the average daily income:

D = M (monthly income) * 24 / 730
When determining the amount of total monthly income, all types of payments from which taxes are withheld are used. Tax on benefits received (NDFL) is not withheld.

Thus, it is easy to notice that most expectant mothers are entitled to government financial assistance. To ensure that the deadlines for payment of financial support for pregnancy and childbirth are met, promptly provide documents for calculating the compensation due to you.

All accruals and payments of benefits for pregnant women are regulated by Federal Law No. FZ-No. 255 of December 29, 2006. “On compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity”, the minimum and maximum amounts of benefits are prescribed there. Every year, payments that depend on the minimum wage are indexed. In addition to benefits, pregnant women also have certain labor benefits.

Benefits for pregnant women

If the earnings of the billing period were calculated based on actual earnings, then the formula is used to calculate the average daily earnings:

Earnings in the billing period / Number of calendar days in the billing period (less days excluded from it)

The following periods are excluded from the calculation:

• temporary disability;
• maternity leave;
• maternity leave;
• exemption from work with full or partial retention of salary (provided that insurance contributions to the Federal Social Insurance Fund of Russia were not charged on the retained salary).

For women working part-time, the same calculation procedure is used.

Limit amount of maternity benefit

If at the time of maternity leave the employee’s work experience exceeds 6 months, then the benefit is equal to 100% of earnings. If it is less than 6 months, then it cannot exceed the minimum wage per month.

11,280 rubles - minimum wage in 2019

In this case, the maximum amount of daily benefit is calculated using the formula:

1 minimum wage × Regional coefficient / Number of calendar days in each month of maternity leave

Labor benefits

An employer does not have the right to fire or lay off a woman during pregnancy and maternity leave. An exception is the liquidation of the organization and termination of activities by the employer (closure of the individual entrepreneur).

If there is a medical report and a personal statement, a pregnant woman has the right to demand:

Payments to working women after childbirth

On maternity leave for up to one and a half years, a working woman receives a monthly allowance. The amount of the payment is 40% of her salary for the two previous years. If a woman wants to go to work early, this benefit will also be stopped. But if she works part-time, she has the right to receive both wages and child benefits.

The government is currently discussing the issue of giving parents the right to choose: when to pay child care benefits, stretch the amount over three years, or pay all the money at once. The bill with amendments should be submitted by the end of this year.

Calculation of child care benefits

To calculate the benefit you need to determine:

• billing period;
• earnings for the billing period;
• your average daily earnings;
• average earnings for a calendar month;
• 40% of average earnings;

The total benefit amount is calculated using the formula:

Average monthly earnings × 40%

If the benefit amount is less than the minimum limit, then the benefit will be paid in the minimum amount (1 minimum wage × 40%).

Allowance for second and subsequent children

If an employee simultaneously cares for several children, then she will be assigned an allowance for each child, and:

• The amount of the benefit should not exceed 100% of monthly earnings;
• Not be less than the amount of the minimum benefit for each child.

If the summed benefit does not meet these two criteria simultaneously, then the woman will be paid the minimum benefit amount, even if it exceeds 100% of average earnings.
