Needy pregnant women eligible for new benefits

Low-income pregnant women who have registered with medical organizations in the early stages will receive monthly payments from July 1, and not a lump sum, as it was before. This follows from Art. 1 of the federal law dated May 26, 2021 No. 151-FZ "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation", which entered into force today.

This law was adopted by the State Duma and the Federation Council on May 19, and on May 26 it was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin .

The criteria for receiving benefits were previously clarified by the Ministry of Labor.

The new monthly allowance will be received only by those who registered not earlier than today. Pregnant women who have already done so before July 1, 2021 are not eligible for monthly benefits. Benefits can only be received by women whose average per capita family income does not exceed the subsistence level per person in the region. Detailed conditions for obtaining it are prescribed on the website of the Ministry of Labor. Also, when assigning benefits, the “zero income rule” is used. It assumes that the allowance is granted only if the adult members of the family have earnings (stipend, income from work or business activities or pensions) or if the lack of income is justified by objective life circumstances.

The amount of the allowance is half of the subsistence level in the region. The average for RUSSIA in 2021 is 6351 rubles, Tatyana Golikova said at a meeting with the president.

As the Ministry of Labor explained to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, a comprehensive need assessment will be used when assigning payments.

The average per capita income in the family of a pregnant girl should be less than the subsistence level per person. Most information for benefits will be verified automatically, but you must apply for it yourself. You can fill it out on the public services portal or apply for payment to the Pension Fund offices in person. All social payments go to the cards of the Russian payment system "Mir".
