This payment is intended to support the underprivileged and certain categories of families. Therefore, it is assigned when providing aggregate information on the income of all family members for the specified period, the amount of which per household should not exceed the regional subsistence level for the previous quarter. Disabled people, large families, single mothers and other certain categories of citizens can apply for these compensations, regardless of the material well-being of the family, upon presentation of documents confirming their right to them.

All these payments are processed at the district department of social protection of the population (OSZN) at the place of registration of the applicant or at the territorial Multifunctional Center (MFC) if they accept documents in this district.

2. If parents have applied for a payment for a high school student (from 16 to 18 years old), and basic information has not been provided for more than a year (or for the first time they applied for these funds), then you must provide a complete set of documents, attaching an additional certificate for this student.

Payment term depends on the period of study of the child and on his age:

1. If he graduated from school before the age of majority, then the payment is due only until the end of his studies;
2. If before the age of 18 he moved to the next class, it is necessary to provide a certificate of study in the new academic year;
3. If the certificate was provided from the current class after the age of 16, and the income information provided last year expired, then you need to update the package of documents, while re-submitting a certificate for the same class is not necessary.
4. The payment is suspended until the age of majority if the student is recognized as fully capable or if he is married;
5. If during the period of study he turns 18 years old, then the allowance stops.

Most parents, one way or another, face certain financial difficulties while raising their child. After all, children require not only attention, but also certain material investments. First, the baby needs diapers, strollers, a crib, sliders. Then he grows out of it all, and it's time to buy toys, and soon textbooks and a briefcase. With all this, the cost of food and clothing for the child must always be taken into account.

Russia in this moment conducts an active demographic policy, one of the aspects of which is to increase the birth rate and support young families. To help parents, the government has determined special payments - allowance for the care of a minor child. This is a small but significant financial assistance to families with children. In this article, we will analyze the details of this bill - who is entitled to the allowance for a child under 18, what is the procedure for obtaining it, and what is the amount of payments in 2017.

Who is eligible for benefits?

Not all families can receive financial assistance from the state. In order to apply for financial support, the following conditions must be met:

• both parents of the child must be citizens Russian Federation;
• family income (that is, both parents) does not exceed the average. The average income is calculated not at the federal level, but at the regional level, so it is different in each region.

Of course, to receive benefits in the family must be a minor child. It does not matter whether he is a native or adopted.

How much will be paid in 2017?

It’s impossible to talk about the amounts of payments in a nutshell. First, the amount of the allowance depends on the composition of the family. For example, for a complete family with working parents, the allowance will be the smallest and amount to less than 2,718 rubles per month, and for a single mother, the amount of the allowance will be doubled. Secondly, the amount of monthly payments is not determined at the federal level, each region sets its own conditions. Thirdly, the allowance also depends on the child himself - if he is disabled, then monthly allowance increases to approximately 6,000 rubles per month.

Thus, in order to accurately find out the amount of material assistance, you need to refer to the legislation of your region.

How and where to apply in 2016-2017?

The application, along with a package of documents confirming the right to payments, must be submitted to the local branch of social guardianship authorities (or social protection authorities, which is the same thing). The full list of documents required for the application is given below:

• child's birth certificate or passport;
• an extract from the house register confirming that the child lives with you (this extract can be obtained from the passport office to which your house is attached);
• certificate of family income for the last three months (you must submit documents for all working family members. For example, if the family is complete and both the mother and father of the child work in it, then it is necessary to submit 2-NDFL certificates from the workplaces of both the mother and father If the child is raised by a single mother, then she presents only her documents, without turning to the father of the child);
• if there is a disabled child in the family, it is also necessary to submit documents confirming his disability;
• the application itself, which is drawn up in a free form.

If for some reason your family is not eligible for benefits (for example, you incorrectly calculated your income, and it turned out to be higher than the average for the region), then the social guardianship authority will notify you of the refusal and explain the reason. Otherwise, your account will begin to accrue monthly benefits.

When a child reaches the age of sixteen, it is necessary to submit a certificate from his school that he continues to study at a secondary educational institution. If this certificate is not presented, payments will stop.

For families with low level income, social state support is provided in the form of a child allowance, which is paid for children under 18 years of age.
