Benefits (payments) for the birth of a fourth child in 2021

The main directions of the state’s social policy for a long time have been supporting vulnerable segments of the population and stimulating the birth rate in order to improve the demographic situation in the country. And providing assistance to large families solves both of these problems at once. In most regions, parents with many children are considered to be those raising at least three children who have not yet reached adulthood. It goes without saying that when a fourth child appears in a family, the law also provides for incentive payments and benefits, in addition to generally accepted child benefits. We suggest you figure out what benefits (payments) families are entitled to at the birth of their fourth child in 2021.

What payments are a family entitled to at the federal level for the birth of 4 children in 2021?

The table below shows a list of all payments available at the federal level for a child who does not belong to special categories of persons (orphans, disabled people, children from single-parent or low-income families). All Russian families that have a fourth child have the right to apply for the listed benefits, regardless of region of residence, material income and any other conditions:

Large family with four children

To apply for payments or benefits that are due when 4 children are born, you must obtain a certificate of a large family. To do this, it is enough to collect the required package of papers and send it to one of the following authorities:

• BTI;
• HR department at the place of work (if there is an official place of employment);
• employment service (in the absence of an official place of employment);
• state registration fund.

If a mother decides to apply to social protection, then she needs to collect the following documents:

• a statement outlining a request to provide the status of a large family;
• parents' passports;
• children's birth certificates;
• photographs of parents measuring 3x4 cm;
• certificate of marriage or divorce between parents;
• a certificate confirming the fact that the applicant lives with the children;
• income certificates;
• certificates from educational institutions for each child;
• a certificate confirming the fact that the parents had not previously received the status of a large family;
• court order on adoption (if there are adopted children in the family).

You can submit the collected package of documents in several ways, which are divided into remote and direct:

1. In person at the MFC.
2. Personally to the department of social protection of the population.
3. Through a single state portal called “State Services”.

As for the time frame for reviewing submitted documentation, in most cases it takes up to one month.

The family will learn about the decision of the competent authority from the relevant notification.

What payments and benefits for the birth of 4 children in 2021 can be issued at the regional level

Important! You can find out about all the benefits and benefits for large families from the social protection authorities at your place of residence - each constituent entity of the Russian Federation has its own list of payments (depending on the financial situation in the region, the birth rate and the direction of local social policy).

In almost every region of Russia, the authorities are ready to provide support to large families, especially since the average per capita income of families with 4 children usually does not exceed the local subsistence level - that is, such units of society are officially recognized as low-income (and low-income families belong to a separate unprotected category of citizens) .

Important! When assigning benefits and benefits, it does not matter whether a child is born into the family or adopted - natural and adopted children are always equal before the law.

Depending on the region in which the family in which the fourth child was born lives, parents may qualify for the following types of assistance:

Important! The largest child benefits are awarded to families registered in the Far East or the Far North - due to the harsh climate, almost all social benefits here are increased due to an increasing coefficient.

A general overview of the funds available to large families

1. The one-time payments include 3 payments - at the birth of a baby, for the mother - upon early registration in the antenatal clinic and BiR - maternity benefits.
2. The amount of the first and second is already known - it will amount to more than 24 thousand rubles.
3. The amount of state maternity benefits is calculated individually and depends not only on the fact of work or lack of work experience, but also on the salary that the mother received before going on maternity leave.
4. Monthly benefits include payments for child care - first up to one and a half years, then until the age of three, and later - from 3 to 7 years.
5. There will be no problems with registration either in the case of previous official employment, or if the mother has not worked before.
6. In the first case, they apply to the employer for benefits, in the second - to the social security authorities.
7. During a global pandemic, it is possible to apply for payments without visiting official bodies - all documents can be submitted through the MFC, sent by mail with acknowledgment of receipt or through the State Services portal.

Other ancillary payments

In 2021, a family acquires the status of a large family only after it collects the necessary documents and receives certificates of status from the social security authorities. A family that has acquired a third child is considered to have many children, so to receive the provided bonuses, it is enough to provide a birth certificate. During a pandemic, this does not have to be done: as part of interdepartmental cooperation, a notification to the Pension Fund will be sent immediately after the newborn is registered in the registry office.

Thus, it has been established that upon the birth of a third and subsequent child, families can count on state assistance in paying off a mortgage loan. The amount of state support in this case will be 450 thousand rubles.

Regional maternity capital for large families

The most significant support measure approved by local authorities is regional maternity capital. This support measure is valid in the following constituent entities of the Russian Federation:

In Moscow and the Moscow region, the amount of regional capital is 100,000 rubles (not indexed).

In St. Petersburg, the local amount of maternity capital is 140,216 rubles.

Common mistakes on the topic “What are the payments for the birth of 4 children in 2021”

Error: A large family with a fourth child is counting on receiving 1.5 million rubles as a federal support measure.

In fact, the Russian Government has already denied the rumors spread by the media. There will be no new payment in the amount of one and a half million rubles - there are not enough funds in the budget for such support measures.

Error: A mother of many children, who gave birth to her 4th child, believes that there is no point in getting on the waiting list for kindergarten, since there are still not enough places, and she will not be able to find the money to pay parental fees.

In fact, by 2021 it is planned to create 270,000 new places in kindergartens (nurseries), of which 90 thousand places will be ready by 2021. 150 billion rubles have been allocated from the budget for these purposes. As for parental fees, they are not charged to parents with many children.

Law on payment of maternity capital for the 4th child

The key legislative act regulating the rules for providing state support to families with children is Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 256 of December 29, 2006. In accordance with it, in 2021, the right to receive a maternal (family) certificate (MSC) arises for families in which the first child was born after 2021.

If the mother has not previously issued a certificate (for example, if the children were born before the beginning of 2007), then she has the right to do this after the birth of the next baby.
