Every year, certain government payments are indexed according to inflation for the previous year. In 2018, this will once again affect the monthly allowance for caring for a child up to 1, 5 years old.
Any person who directly carries out this action has the right to receive a monthly allowance for caring for a child under 1, 5 years of age: mom, dad, guardian, close relatives. Moreover, they are conditionally divided into two groups: unemployed and employed.
Working citizens receive this payment according to their wages. In 2018, the maximum amount that young parents can count on is 24,536.57 rubles. This is exactly what it will become after February 1, 2018, when the indexation of this benefit will take place. This group of citizens draws up this payment directly from their employer. But they receive it in some regions from the Social Insurance Fund at the place of residence.
As for unemployed citizens, there is a fixed amount that does not depend on any indicators.
In 2018, for the first child under 1.5 years old, it will be possible to receive an allowance in the amount of 3,163.79 rubles, and for the second - 6327.57 rubles. Compared to 2017, these payments will increase by about 100 rubles from February 1. Such a payment can be made at the regional department of social protection of the population.
As for the documents required to receive this allowance, there have been no changes. You will need a statement, birth certificates for all children, information on average earnings, and so on.
Moreover, the appropriate authority must be contacted within 6 months from the date of birth of the child.
