A second child has been born in your family.
The happiness from this joyful event is associated with many pleasant worries - buying a beautiful stroller, a comfortable crib, the first toys and clothes for the baby.
Do not forget that you still have important troubles related to the registration of maternity capital.
The state continues to support families in which a second child was born. Subsidizing is carried out on the basis of the Federal Law “On Additional Measures of State Support for Families with Children” and is issued in the form of a cash certificate.
The allocation of material assistance to Russian families was aimed at providing state care to those “cells of society” that decided to have a second child. The country began helping its citizens in 2007. The program will last until December 31, 2020. Such deadlines are established by the Federal Law “On Maternity Capital”.
Despite the crisis, the amount of cash benefits to families increased and in 2020 amounted to 453 thousand 26 rubles. Conditions for receiving mat. We will consider capital for a second child in the article.
The legislative framework
State support is provided by law to all Russian families who welcomed a second child between the beginning of 2007 and the end of 2016.
Moreover, the law does not make any difference - the child has become a new member of the family or the parents took him from the orphanage.
If your baby has just been born, you do not need to rush to apply for government assistance, trying to make it before the end of 2016.
You can write an application and bring documents later - in a few months or even in a few years! When the time approaches, use the funds that the state has allocated to you from its budget.
Who is checkmated? capital?
Help in this case can be obtained:
- Most often, a young mother comes with an application for a subsidy.
- In some cases, this is done by the father of the second child.
Such cases are associated with sad events in the life of the family, the death of the baby’s mother or the deprivation of her parental rights. Only then does the father receive the certificate. - When a child turns 18, he can come and receive a certificate himself. This can be done if the father and mother died without having time to process the money due for the child.
- Since the young mother has her mouth full of troubles, a representative for whom the mother will issue a power of attorney can come to collect documents for the payment of budget money.
Important! Maternity capital is issued to a family only once! A certificate can be obtained for the third, fourth or fifth child only if the mother did not come for the certificate required for the second child.
