The allowance is paid to a woman for pregnancy and childbirth and until the child reaches one and a half years. The calculation for the payment of benefits is based on the average earnings for 24 months. If a woman before the birth of her second child was on leave to care for the first child up to one and a half years, then the calculation can be made based on the previous months of work. Childcare allowance is 40% of average earnings. If a woman is unable to take care of the child, then the child's father or close relatives can take leave.
Instructions
Step 1
The allowance for caring for a second child until he reaches one and a half years is calculated from the next day after the end of the sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth. The amount of the allowance is 40% of the average earnings for 24 months. Average earnings do not include social benefits, which include sick leave payments. The entire amount paid is taken and divided by 730. This is the average daily amount. It is multiplied by the average monthly number of days, that is, by 30, 4. The amount received will be equal to the monthly allowance. When caring for two children under one and a half years, this amount is doubled.
Step 2
If a woman did not work before the birth of her second child, but was on leave to care for the first child up to one and a half years, then the time when the woman worked is taken as the billing period. The calculation of the allowance is made in the above way.
Step 3
If a woman has worked for less than 24 months, then the allowance is calculated from the average earnings of the hours actually worked. The allowance for the second child cannot be lower than 4388, 67 rubles plus the regional coefficient. If the amount of the benefit, calculated on the basis of average earnings, is less, then the specified amount must be paid.
Step 4
Childcare and maternity benefits are available from all employers where the woman was employed. The maximum amount for calculating benefits cannot be higher than 465 thousand rubles per year. That is, the calculation must be made by dividing 930 thousand rubles by 730 and multiplying by 30, 4.
