The difficult economic situation in a number of regions of the country, unemployment, and inflationary processes make people interested in the question of what regional and federal programs exist to protect large low-income families, involving the issuance of benefits and other support measures necessary to ensure the normal development and upbringing of children. Many Russians do not know what compensation they are entitled to, how to apply for subsidies, and what documents to collect for benefits for low-income families with children in 2018.

Who is considered a low-income family?

According to the definition, a low-income family is recognized as citizens leading a joint household in the same territory according to registration data, related family ties. Specialists deciding on the assignment of low-income status consider each specific case individually - people who are not related by blood, who are in cohabitation and raising common children, can live together. Families may be low-income different composition:

  • incomplete, with a father or mother raising a child or several offspring alone;
  • large families;
  • overweight with low per capita income;
  • an orphan child left without parental care;
  • persons with limited legal capacity due to disability;
  • pensioners and young people studying full-time at universities and receiving social benefits.

The level of income of a family per person claiming to be low-income, after calculations, must be lower than the minimum subsistence allowance (MS) accepted for a given subject of the federation. In this case, the age of the person is considered, since the size of the monthly pension varies depending on whether the citizen is working, is an incapacitated pensioner, or is a child.

Criteria for need when providing social support measures

It is not so easy to obtain the status of low-income citizens who need to receive government benefits. To do this you must meet the following criteria:

  • Be considered officially low-income and be registered with the municipality or local social security department. The status will have to be updated once every three months, with the provision of a package of documentation on the income of all working household members.
  • Adult family members must officially work. If they do not work, then they provide information according to which they have the authority to stay at home (pregnancy status, child care, disability, other cases). If a household member is unemployed without good reason, benefits will not be issued.
  • Citizens really should need government support - they need to prepare for various checks, including the calculation of all available income, an inspection at the place of registration to verify the provided data on poverty.

How to calculate total income

Many Russians are not knowledgeable about procedures When calculating the total income, according to which the family is recognized or not recognized as poor, they lose hope of government assistance. The calculation algorithm is very simple; it can be found in Article 14 of the Federal Law of April 5, 2003. Federal Law-44, which talks about the procedure for calculating the income of several people living together or one citizen applying for social support. Social security workers act like this:

  1. The total quarterly earnings of all family members are taken into account, summing up the income.
  2. Divide the resulting figure by three months, getting average monthly earnings per family.
  3. The resulting number is divided by the number of household members to find out how much money per person per month.

Often citizens do not know what cash receipts are included in their total earnings. When calculating average per capita income, the following types are taken into account: cash:

  • salary according to form 2-NDFL;
  • assigned federal or local benefits, pensions;
  • scholarships received by students of schools, universities, and secondary technical institutions;
  • provided dairy products, other in-kind support with food or items;
  • estimated amounts of profit from movable or real estate, in the possession of household members.

The procedure for determining average per capita income per family member

To visualize the calculation methods used by social security authorities, consider the following example:

An incomplete family consisting of a mother and two minor children, 6 and 8 years old, living in Moscow. The mother works and received a salary of 51,000 rubles for 3 months. There were no child benefits or other benefits provided. Average per capita monthly income per household is calculated using the following formula:

51,000 / 3 / 3 = 5,667 rubles.

Considering that the minimum wage in the capital for 2018 for capable citizens is 18,742 rubles, for minors - 14,252 rubles, the mother can apply for the status of a poor family with receipt of cash benefits, prescribed preferences and benefits. You need to know that all types of income are taken into account, and if a deliberate or unintentional attempt to conceal additional earnings is detected, benefits will not be given.

What assistance can low-income people receive from the state in 2018?

Each region of Russia provides its own types of subsidies to low-income citizens, but all people in need of support measures can apply for the following types of benefits:

  • children's subsidies (including benefits for bearing a baby, childbirth, and caring for a baby);
  • social assistance;
  • benefits when paying for housing and communal services;
  • preferences when purchasing medicines, vitamins;
  • privileges for offspring when entering kindergartens, schools, clubs, sections;
  • free food women carrying a baby and young children;
  • special one-time and monthly additional payments established by local authorities.

Types of benefits for low-income children

All subsidy options are divided into two groups - one-time, or one-time, and received once every 30 days, which have to be reissued annually or in another manner established by law. One-time subsidies include the following child benefits for low-income families in 2018:

In St. Petersburg you can get up to 100 thousand rubles, in Vologda - 300-10,000 rubles, other regions issue benefits based on the minimum monthly wage.

Maternity payments

The demographic crisis forces the government to stimulate the birth rate with numerous maternity subsidies. A woman can apply for different types subsidies:

Payments by September 1

Not all citizens can provide their children with textbooks, uniforms, and supplies necessary for study. Regional authorities provide financial assistance that can be received before sending a first-grader to school. The right to financial resources is lost after 6 months of the son or daughter’s studies. The capital authorities issue 5,000 rubles, in St. Petersburg - 3,768 rubles, in Bryansk - 1,000 rubles. Some regions do not provide subsidies for this type of assistance.

For children under adulthood

After the child reaches three years of age, mothers stop paying compensation. If a woman proves that she is in need and belongs to the poor, then she can receive assistance until her offspring comes of age. The mother and father must officially work, and the average monthly income of each household must not exceed the monthly minimum established for the region. The money is paid until the son or daughter turns 16. Separate payments are given to mothers caring for a disabled minor, or when a parent’s legal capacity is limited.

Scholarships for children from low-income families

You can receive financial resources if the student is classified as low-income. Money is paid for full-time studies in higher and secondary technical institutions for the entire period of study. For universities, the subsidy amount is 2,100 rubles, for colleges – 730 rubles. You can apply for assistance if the young person is a representative of one of the following categories of citizens:

  • disabled person of group 1 or 2;
  • an orphan child left without parents or guardian;
  • a member of a large poor family;
  • a person exposed to radioactive radiation;
  • contract soldier who served for at least 3 years.

Monthly allowance

According to the Presidential Decree of October 18, 2017. No. 487, the state is introducing new measures to support motherhood and childhood, which will affect socially unprotected categories of citizens, low-income people with a large number of supervised minors. The following types of payments are introduced:

  • when the first child appears;
  • for a second baby up to one and a half years of age;
  • for the third and subsequent babies.

The payment card is intended to increase the percentage of minimum maternity benefits paid to employed mothers by 21.7%. Children's benefits up to the age of one and a half years will increase by the amount of recorded inflation. In 2017 this figure was 3.2%. The size of the maternity capital will not increase, until 2020 they will issue 453 thousand rubles, but you can spend this money without waiting for your son or daughter to turn 3 years old.

For the first child

Payments are provided every 30 days until the age of one and a half years for a child born after January 1, 2018 and who is a citizen of the country. The condition is stipulated that parents whose income per household per month is less than one and a half accepted regional subsistence allowances can collect additional payments. The amount of assistance depends on the subsistence level for the constituent entity of Russia, calculated for the 2nd quarter of the previous reporting period. Medium size payments throughout the country will be 10,523 rubles, in Moscow - 13,938 rubles, Rostov-on-Don - 10,264 rubles, Volgograd - 9,219 rubles.

Monthly payments from maternity capital for the second child

Citizens who have a second baby can collect monthly additional payments from the amount of maternity capital due until their daughter or son reaches the age of one and a half years. Receipt of subsidies is limited to persons whose monthly cash receipts for each household are below 1.5 subsistence minimum in the region. The amount of child benefits for low-income families in 2018 is equal to the regional minimum wage for a minor for the previous reporting period: for Moscow - 13,938 rubles, St. Petersburg - 10,222 rubles, Krasnoyarsk - 12,020 rubles.

For a third child and obtaining the status of a large family

Fundamentally, the types of compensation payments received upon the birth of a third offspring are no different from the subsidies provided to the mother at the birth of a child - she receives one-time, monthly maternity payments. But the presence of a third and subsequent children transfers parents and children into the category of having many children. Many citizens are considered to be in need, so they are provided with additional compensation depending on their status. The number of regions covered by the federal program for assistance to large families has expanded to 60.

The amount of child benefits for low-income families in 2018 will be determined depending on the PM adopted in the region. Targeted subsidies are allocated by the state budget. You can receive money if Russians prove their poverty in accordance with regulatory documents and regulations adopted by the constituent entities of the federation. The measure is designed to stimulate the birth rate in areas where there is an unfavorable demographic situation.

The average monthly income of all family members is calculated for the last 3 months. Income includes:

  • wages;
  • pensions;
  • bonuses;
  • scholarships;
  • incentive payments;
  • alimony;
  • severance pay;
  • all types of dividends;
  • income from property (for example, if the family rents out another apartment).

Important!!! If a family has an able-bodied adult family member, then the family can no longer claim the status of a poor person. The exception is women who are on maternity leave.

The subsistence minimum can change once every three months, and there are several types of subsistence minimums, namely:

  • per child;
  • for a pensioner;
  • for an able-bodied citizen.

To determine the average per capita income, it is necessary to add up all family income for three months and divide by three. The resulting number must be divided among all family members. If this value turns out to be below the subsistence level in Moscow, then the family can apply to the social security authorities to receive benefits as low-income citizens. Any family member can make a payment. You just need to collect a certain package of documents in advance.
