Who can receive benefits

A one-time allowance for pregnancy and childbirth is targeted assistance that is used for the needs of a future mother. Therefore, only a woman who is in an interesting position and has a certain status can receive it. Husbands, parents, sisters, brothers are not entitled to claim payments. Such material assistance should not be confused with the money that parents receive after the birth of a child. State funds are intended:

• Working moms. The disability certificate is provided to the employer's administration, which is responsible for the timely accrual and payment of monetary amounts.
• Business women who have the status of an individual entrepreneur and have been payers of contributions to the state social insurance fund for at least a year (in the absence of debt).
• Full-time students receiving a scholarship.
• The unemployed, dismissed due to a reduction in staff or during the liquidation of the employer's organization, if they are registered with the employment service.

There are nuances with unemployed pregnant women who are not registered with the state employment service. The allowance is not paid to them, since it is a kind of compensation to the employee for the loss of earnings due to being in an interesting position. Unemployed pregnant women had no earnings, which means that compensation was not due.

Benefit Timings

Pregnancy is a period in which a woman should take care of herself, take care of the health of her unborn baby. Therefore, quite a considerable time has been allocated for the submission of documents. Since the term for paying maternity benefits is directly related to the promptness of preparing the required documentation, expectant mothers are in a hurry to collect certificates and receive money before the birth of the child. Some believe that childbirth is a kind of “point of no return” upon the onset of which maternity leave is not paid.

This is an erroneous judgment. After all, the legislation determines a six-month period from the end of the decree for filing documents. That is, the right of a pregnant woman to maternity leave arises on the day she receives a certificate of incapacity for work, and ends six months after the end of the sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth.

After submitting the paper to the employer, the applicant receives maternity leave within a ten-day period. The social security authority pays the money until the twenty-sixth day of the next month. Assistance is paid in one amount for the entire period of incapacity for work.

If the newly-minted mother missed the deadlines for a good reason, she has the right to go to court with a reasoned statement and ask for their extension. Exculpatory materials are attached to the claim. The judge examines the evidence objectively. When confirming the validity of the mother's reasons, the terms are extended.

But how much money will “fall” into the account? You can tell fortunes on coffee grounds or take a piece of paper, a pencil and make simple calculations yourself.

Calculation for working women

Medical institution certificate of pregnancy - the only basis for calculating benefits

The settlement period of the benefit is two full calendar years (730 days). Before calculating the maternity benefit, you need to know the total amount of income for a two-year period. Art. 136 of the Labor Code obliges the employer to inform employees about accrued earnings, withheld taxes, mandatory contributions.

That is, in order to find out the total two-year earnings, it is enough to summarize the data of the payslips for this period. The “dirty” salary (excluding taxes, contributions) is taken into account. You can get the coveted figure by contacting the accounting department of the employer. Everything is taken into account: salary, bonuses, vacation pay, material assistance.

Let's say the amount earned was 730,000 rubles. Initially, the average daily income is determined: 730,000 rubles / 730 days = 1,000 rubles per day. Now the amount received is multiplied by the number of sick days, thereby recognizing the amount of maternity leave.

The duration of sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth depends on the condition of the pregnant woman, the number of expected children:

• 140 days (70 days before delivery + 70 days after the birth of the baby) for normal childbirth;
• 156 days (70 days before delivery + 86 days after the birth of the baby) in the presence of complications;
• 194 days (84 days of delivery + 110 days after the birth of the baby) with multiple pregnancies.

That is, in order to find out the amount of the allowance, it is necessary to multiply the average daily income (1000 rubles) by 140, 156 days or 194 days. Taxes, fees, contributions are not deducted from the amount received.

The state limits the amount of wages that are taken into account when determining material benefits, and the maximum amount of benefits for pregnancy and childbirth is accordingly limited.

Financial assistance for pregnant women in military service is calculated based on the amount of their monthly allowance for the previous two-year period.

Benefit for unemployed pregnant women

If a woman who is in an interesting state quit of her own free will, or did not work before pregnancy, then according to federal law, she is not entitled to maternity payments. However, such persons may be supported by local authorities at the regional level.

To receive federal payments, a pregnant woman must be registered with the public employment service. Upon receipt of a medical certificate, she forms materials for receiving benefits and transfers them to the territorial body of social protection of the population at the place of permanent residence.

The following are submitted to the government agency:

• statement;
• a photocopy of the passport;
• a copy of the work book (if available);
• original medical certificate;
• certificate of the employment service on being registered;
• Bank account number.

After checking the completeness of the submitted documentation, the social security authority issues a written receipt of their receipt. This avoids disputes regarding the timeliness of applying for benefits.

When determining the minimum maternity allowance, officials and accountants take into account the size of the minimum wage. Now it is 5965 rubles. Accordingly, the average daily earnings are 196.11 rubles (5965 X 24 months (two years): 730 calendar days). This means that a pregnant unemployed woman who gave birth to a child without complications will receive 196.11 rubles X 140 days = 27455 rubles 40 kopecks.

What is required for students

How is maternity allowance calculated for female students? Girls who are expecting a baby are entitled to receive material assistance only if they are on a full-time basis and receive a scholarship. If pregnant women study in the third year, then assistance is determined based on scholarship amounts. In the absence of such payments in the "required" two-year period, they are replaced by the minimum wage.

So, when determining the size of the allowance for pregnancy and childbirth of a sophomore, the scholarship for the first year of study and the minimum wage are taken into account. The allowance is calculated after the original medical certificate is provided to the educational institution. Payments are made within ten days from the date of registration of the document.

Help with pregnancy and childbirth

The question of how to calculate the maternity allowance for foreign women, pregnant women without citizenship and refugees, most employers baffle. Some mistakenly believe that such persons are not entitled to assistance, and refuse to pay, thereby violating the rights of expectant mothers. In fact, only persons staying illegally in Russia are automatically deprived of financial assistance.

Calculation of benefits for pregnancy and childbirth occurs according to the general rule. Two-year earnings are taken as the basis, in its absence, the minimum wage is used. The duration of the decree depends on the complexity of the birth process, the number of babies born and is 140, 156 days or 194 days.

140 days are taken as the basis for maternity leave calculations for pregnant women expecting one baby, and 194 days for multiple pregnancies. After a difficult birth, the medical institution issues an appropriate certificate, which the woman in labor submits to the organization that pays the maternity leave. Based on it, the previously received allowance is recalculated. The difference is paid within ten days from the moment the institution receives the certificate.

What documents are required

When is the maternity allowance paid to pregnant foreign women, refugees, stateless persons? The legislation determines that the terms for the payment of assistance are the same as for Russian women. If the expectant mother is unemployed, then a mandatory package of documents is formed for submission to the state social security agency:

• application for money;
• passport, other identity card;
• certificate of a medical institution, indicating the duration of pregnancy;
• certificate of the state employment service on the status of the unemployed;
• a document confirming the legality of the applicant's stay in the Russian Federation.

On the acceptance of materials, the state agency issues a written confirmation (receipt) to the pregnant woman.

Every expectant mother should understand that state assistance is addressed not only to her, but also to the unborn child. Therefore, do not delay with the formalities that allow you to get them. If it is difficult to collect all the documents on your own, you can seek help from close relatives, husband or specialists.

In 2018, a one-time maternity allowance (M&R) is provided for the period of childbirth to women who subject to compulsory social insurance(at the place of work or service) and is not paid (with the exception of those officially recognized as unemployed within a year after the dismissal during the liquidation of the organization).

The allowance is paid in the same way as in previous years: for the entire period of maternity leave(usually 140 days) as compensation (insurance) for the fact that some time in prenatal and postnatal period(in the simplest case, respectively, 70 days before and 70 days after childbirth), a woman will not be able to work and receive a salary.

Who pays - the employer or the FSS?

Initially, the personnel department at the place of work must be provided and (usually combined with an application for the provision maternity leave). Then, upon the fact of payments between the employer and the FSS, an offset occurs - as a rule, against payable insurance premiums. That is, in fact, it turns out that the money is still ultimately paid out of the FSS funds.

Only after the court decision comes into force, the mother of the child will be able to receive the money (FSS). It is easier to make a payment without litigation through the FSS in the regions in which it operates.

If a woman works two or more employers(insured) at the same time and for the last two years she worked for them, she can issue payments in full each of them separately. If during the last two years the expectant mother worked in other places, the allowance is issued for one of the current jobs (at the choice of the applicant).

Pilot project "Direct payments" with registration in the Social Insurance Fund

Some employees have conflict situations with the employer, especially in the context of the economic crisis, when, according to the law, he must pay benefits, but does not.

• In accordance with the terms of the project, usually the documents (sick leave and salary data) are transferred to the FSS by the employer himself.
• In some cases, a woman will be able to do this herself - then you need to contact the FSS at the place of registration of the employer company.

This opportunity simplifies the life of a woman, the accounting department of the enterprise and the FSS employees themselves. Accountants do not need to calculate the amount of offsets with the FSS. And a woman who has gone on maternity leave, regardless of how her employer’s financial affairs are, will receive a payment:

• in a timely manner;
• correctly calculated;
• in the right amount.

• upon the occurrence premature birth- in the period between 22 and 30 obstetric weeks.
