What benefits are due to a single mother. How is social assistance provided to single mothers. Types of state support for single mothers

There are state and regional programs that support single mothers. But few people know exactly what benefits a single mother can claim in 2019 and what benefits she has the right to use. In the article, we will talk in detail about all the payments that are due to this social category, about the procedure for receiving, as well as about tax, labor and other social benefits.

Who can get the status of a single mother

Who is a single mother (MO)? At first glance, the answer is obvious - this is a woman raising a child on her own (without a husband). In fact, not every single mother has the status single mothers. In modern legislation there is no official concept of a single mother, but it was in the days of the USSR. It was first introduced by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 07/08/1944, and the final version was formed in paragraph 8 of the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 659 of 08/12/1970. This term is still used today. at a generally accepted level. Who is legally considered a single mother, and who is not?

The status of a single mother is understood as a woman who has a child whose birth certificate does not contain information about the father, or the father is recorded according to the mother (that is, without establishing paternity, without parental status - p clause 3, article 17 of the Federal Law “On acts of civil status”, clause 3, art. 51 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation). Such a woman is also assigned a social status in the registry office - a certificate is issued in the form No. 25, according to which she has the opportunity to receive special benefits and enjoy various benefits (tax, labor, etc.).

There are main criteria by which single women with children receive the status of "single mother":

• Your baby was born out of wedlock and the fact of paternity has not been established by the court. For example, if you live with your spouse in a civil marriage, but at the same time the husband did not recognize himself as the father of the baby, and you did not file a lawsuit with the court, then you can get the status of a single mother;
• The baby was born within 300 calendar days after you divorced your husband (automatic paternity). But at the same time, your ex-spouse disputed paternity, about which there is a corresponding court decision;
• You have adopted an adoption, while you are not officially married. Even if you live with your husband without a painting, you can get the status of a single mother. This is possible if you independently carried out the adoption, and your unofficial spouse does not appear in the adoption documents.

Quite common are cases when single mothers try to prove their official status, but are refused by state authorities. Therefore, it is worth considering separately the situations when the mother is not recognized as single:

• You are divorced, you don’t communicate with your ex-husband, you don’t know about his whereabouts, you don’t receive alimony from him. But in this case, you are not a single mother, since the fact of the paternity of your ex-spouse is documented (recorded in the birth certificate). Here we are talking about the ex-husband's failure to fulfill his parental obligations (evasion from paying alimony, for example);
• There is a court decision in which your spouse is recognized as the father of the baby. The court may decide to recognize your civil or former spouse as the father, regardless of whether you live with him or not;
• There is no paternity in relation to the baby, but the woman is officially married;
• You divorced your husband (or your marriage was declared invalid), and within 300 calendar days after that you gave birth to a baby. In this case, your former spouse will be recognized as the father.

Let's consider the last case in more detail. Regardless of the desire of your ex-spouse, even if he is the biological father, he will be included in the birth certificate. Nothing changes if you lived in a civil marriage with another person after the divorce. In order for your common-law husband to be recognized as the father of the baby, you need his decision and a corresponding application to the registry office.

Often the factor of marriage is overlooked to determine the status, they say, the child does not have an official father, then the mother will be lonely anyway (in the situation with this child). So, the latter loses its status as MO, although, in fact, it remains the only parent for the child. There are references to this in some regional laws. So in a bz. 8 p. 1.3. Decree of the Government of Moscow No. 973-PP of 06.11.2007 clearly states that a single mother should not be married.

So, the factors for recognizing you as a single mother are the upbringing of the baby out of wedlock and the absence of documentary paternity. Social status is confirmed by a certificate f. No. 25, which is issued by the registry office on the basis of a birth certificate (in the column "Father" there is a dash or the father is recorded from the words of the mother).

Sometimes social status is confirmed by a court decision. When a single mother is infringed on the relevant benefits and rights to state support, this status can be established in court.

Previously, the position of the Ministry of Defense was certified by the personal book of a single mother. Currently, such a document is not issued in social security institutions. But if it is, then it retains its power.

There are cases when in the same family, in relation to different children, the same woman can simultaneously be a MO and at the same time not have such a status, because a single parent is determined in connection with a specific child.

For example, an unmarried citizen Spirina A.A., has three children: a son and two daughters. The daughters were born in a marriage (which is currently dissolved) and paternity is not disputed (the ex-husband pays alimony). And the son was born out of wedlock, without a record of the father in the certificate. So, in relation to the son of Spirin A.A. a single mother, and in relation to daughters, an ordinary mother.

Cash payments: amounts and procedure for registration

Absolutely all mothers (including those who are raising a baby on their own) are entitled to social insurance payments in connection with pregnancy and at the birth of a child, namely:

• If during pregnancy for up to 12 weeks you applied to the clinic at the place of residence and registered, then a lump sum payment in the amount of 628.47 rubles is due;
• After 30 weeks of pregnancy, the doctor of the antenatal clinic will write you a sick leave, according to which payments are accrued at the place of work. Together with the sick leave there is a birth certificate with a total face value of 11,000 rubles. It can be spent on medical services in a antenatal clinic, a maternity hospital, a children's clinic, as well as on the purchase of medicines;
• At birth, you receive a state benefit, which is paid as a one-time payment in the amount of 16,759.09 rubles. In addition, until the child reaches the age of 1.5, a monthly allowance is laid, the minimum amount of which is 3.142.33 rubles. for the first child for subsequent 6.284.65 rubles. It should be noted that only the person who actually takes care of the baby, that is, is on maternity leave, can receive such assistance.

There are also additional payments and benefits for mothers with many children, such as maternity capital, benefits until the baby reaches 3 years old, etc. Maternity capital is due to the mother at the birth of the second, third and subsequent children. Its size is fixed by law and in 2017 is 453.026 rubles. Regional maternity capital for 3 children can be received not only by a single mother, but also by mothers raising children in complete families.

As for the additional payments due to single mothers, their amount and the procedure for receiving them are under the control of the regional authorities. The amount of payments varies depending on the average family income (higher or lower than the subsistence level). Often single mothers are entitled to standard payments (like other mothers), but at an increased rate. The question often arises of how long a single mother can receive benefits. The answer is individual in each case and depends on the number of children in the family, average per capita income per family member/general family income, the status of the child (disabled/healthy), as well as the social policy of local authorities. In most regions of the Russian Federation, single mothers receive the following types of financial assistance:

• additional allowance (one-time) at the birth of a child (this is practiced in the Volgograd region);
• bonus monthly social assistance to a single mother (for example, in Voronezh its amount is 514.80 rubles, in Novosibirsk 478.31 rubles);
• monthly payments for the care of a baby up to 3 years;
• allowance for the 3rd child, which is paid monthly until the child reaches the age of 3;
• assistance for a mother raising a disabled child (may be paid until the child reaches the age of 18);
• targeted financial assistance (for example, in Bashkortostan, from 15,000 to 100,000 rubles are allocated for vocational training, for personal subsidiary farming, business, etc.);
• compensation for parental fees when not attending kindergartens (applied in the Ulyanovsk region);
• long-term payments for children of single mothers from 0 to 16/18 years (assigned, for example, in the Leningrad region);
• other cases.

In general, the status of the Ministry of Defense implies the receipt of standard benefits, additional payments to benefits (increased amount), separate social assistance (targeted for the Ministry of Defense) in cash and in kind, benefits (social plan), guarantees (in medical, labor relations) and various benefits in various areas of life.

To find out what benefits are available for single mothers in your area, contact your local welfare office.

The amount of benefits in Moscow

In order to understand the procedure for providing financial assistance to single mothers, consider the situation with social benefits in Moscow.

The amount of payments directly depends on the average family income, namely, whether the income exceeds the subsistence level or not. If the family consists of 2 people (mother and baby), then the minimum is 31.065 rubles. per month (mother 17.624 rubles + child 13.441 rubles). If you live in Moscow and your income is below this indicator, then you can count on:

• payment to compensate for the increase in the cost of living in Moscow. This assistance is paid monthly until the child is 16 years old (for schoolchildren, students of universities, technical schools and other full-time educational institutions - up to 18 years). The amount of assistance is 750 rubles / month;
• allowance in the amount of 2,500 rubles. It is received monthly by mothers of children under the age of 1.5 years, as well as from 3 to 18 years;
• assistance in the amount of 4,500 rubles, which is paid on a monthly basis to mothers of children from 1.5 to 3 years old.

If the income is above the subsistence level, then the above assistance will not be received. But at the same time, you have the right to:

• compensation payment in the amount of 300 rubles. monthly. Paid until the child reaches the age of 16 (for full-time students - 18 years);
• compensation for food price increases (675 rubles per month for children under 3 years old). Mothers receive the same assistance in cases where the former spouse evades the payment of alimony;
• assistance in caring for a disabled child of groups 1 and 2 or disabled since childhood (6,000 rubles per month). The mother receives payments until the son/daughter reaches the age of 18 and only if the child does not work, and if the child has been disabled since childhood - up to 23 years.

Also, the authorities of Moscow have appointed an allowance for the second child, which is paid as a one-time payment in the amount of 14,500 rubles. All mothers can count on this assistance, regardless of whether they have the status of a single mother or not.

The amount of social assistance to single mothers in Moscow is considered quite high compared to other regions of the Russian Federation, which in turn is associated with a high level of consumer prices in the capital.

Example #1.
A resident of Moscow Samsonova E.D. independently brings up two children - daughter Samsonova S.V. (schoolgirl, 15 years old) and son Samsonov V.V. (4 years). The average monthly income of Samsonova E.D. - 41.610 rubles. The subsistence minimum for a family is 44,506 rubles. (mother 17.624 + son 13.441 + daughter 13.441). Let's calculate the amount of financial assistance to which the Samsonov family is entitled. Since the income of the Samsonovs is below the subsistence level established in Moscow, the Samsonovs can apply for:

• for 2.500 rubles. on the daughter Samsonova S.V. and son Samsonov V.V., total 5,000 monthly;
• compensation payments, taking into account the difference in consumer prices, 750 rubles each. for a son and daughter, total 1,500 monthly;
• one-time assistance for the son of Samsonov V.V. - 14.500.

Thus, the Samsonov family will receive 14,500 once and 6,500 monthly (5,000 + 1,5000).

How to get benefits

For payments, you need to contact the social security authority at the place of residence, having previously collected the necessary documents:

• birth certificate of the child (copy);
• a certificate from the registry office, which indicates that information about the father was recorded from the words of the mother (if such a fact took place);
• certificate from the Criminal Code with information about the composition of the family (confirms that the son/daughter lives with his mother);
• form No. 25, confirming the status of a single mother (the document can be obtained at the registry office when issuing a birth certificate).

If the status of a single mother is assigned due to the fact that the ex-husband disputed paternity of a son / daughter born in marriage, then along with the above documents, a copy of the court decision must be submitted to the Social Security Council.

The payment of benefits is assigned from the month when the documents were submitted to the Social Security Council, so it is in your interests to take care of providing the papers as soon as possible. Assistance is transferred until the child reaches a certain age, within which payments are assigned.

Labor guarantees

Labor legislation provides single mothers with social protection during employment, at the workplace, and also in case of dismissal. What are the labor benefits for a single mother?

• when applying for a job, there is a privilege compared to other candidates for the position held (although this is more of a moral side of the issue). But in any case, the denial of employment cannot be based on the fact that you are raising a baby alone. The employer is obliged to provide a reasonable reason for not coordinating your candidacy for a vacant position;
• if you are officially working, then you have the right to demand from the employer the establishment of a part-time job (if your son / daughter is under 14 years old);
• if the crumb is less than 5 years old, then you can refuse overtime work, night shifts, work on weekends and holidays. The authorities do not have the right to force or apply any disciplinary action;
• as a single mother, you are entitled to child care allowance if the child is ill. Its amount depends on your seniority and salary, as well as on whether the child is being treated in an inpatient or outpatient setting.

A single mother cannot be fired when there is a reduction in staff (similar to pregnant women), a change in leadership, in the public service - when access to state secrets is terminated.

But the employer can dismiss a woman during the liquidation of the enterprise (for example, in connection with bankruptcy), but at the same time, monetary obligations are imposed on him in connection with the upcoming employment of the dismissed woman.

tax incentives

According to the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, a single mother has the right to a reduced tax burden in the form of a deduction when calculating personal income tax. If, as a standard, each parent is granted a deduction in the amount of 1,400 rubles, then a single woman is entitled to a double rate of 2,800 rubles. Compensation is provided for each child under the age of 18. If the son / daughter is a full-time student at a university, technical school, is an intern, a cadet, a graduate student, then the tax refund for the mother is preserved until they reach 24 years of age. Raising a disabled child, the mother receives a deduction of 6,000 rubles.

Compensation is provided to the mother on a monthly basis. To do this, it is necessary to transfer documents confirming the status of a single mother to the place of work: form No. 25 or a certificate from the registry office, if information about the father is indicated from the words of the mother. Based on these documents, the accounting department monthly recalculates personal income tax: the tax is calculated based on the total income minus the deduction.

Example #2.
Sviridova S.D. independently brings up two children - the son of Sviridov G.P. (25 years old, resident) and daughter Sviridova E.P. (21 years old, full-time student at the university). The average monthly income of Sviridova S.D. is 14.820 rubles. Calculate the amount of tax compensation for each child:

• despite the fact that the son of Sviridov G.P. is a resident, it is not possible to issue a deduction for him. This is due to the fact that the son is over 24;
• on the daughter of Sviridova E.P. you can apply for compensation, since she is under 24 years old and is studying on a full-time basis. Compensation for a daughter is provided in the standard amount - 2,800 rubles.

In the general order Sviridova S.D. pays personal income tax from monthly income:

14.820 * 13% = 1.927

After the deduction is made, the tax will be calculated as follows:

(14.820 – 2.800) * 13% = 1.563

Thus, for the Sviridov family, the monthly savings are:

1.927 - 1.563 \u003d 364 rubles.

In addition to providing a deduction, tax legislation exempts single mothers from paying property tax. True, at the municipal level, that is, at the discretion of the legislators of a particular locality (for example, in Norilsk). At the federal level (on a one-to-one basis) there are no benefits.

The situation is similar with land and transport taxes.

Fringe benefits

There are other social benefits for single mothers, the provision of which is guaranteed by municipal legislation (that is, not in all regions and localities):

• a set of free children's underwear for the baby;
• provision of food in the children's dairy kitchen for children under 2 years old;
• free massage for children in the clinic (if this service is paid for everyone);
• benefits for admission to kindergartens (children of single mothers enter preschool children's institutions out of turn);
• free vouchers to children's health-improving institutions.

Regional authorities may provide additional social support. For example, single mothers in Moscow are entitled to benefits in the form of free two meals a day for schoolchildren. If the baby is studying at an art school, then, according to the Decree of the Committee on Culture, a single mother pays for her studies with a 30% discount.

In order to clearly understand which benefits are due to single mothers and which are not, consider the table.

	Availability of benefits	General grounds
labor benefits	privilege in employment; the right to part-time work (if the son / daughter is under 14 years old); the right to refuse night and overtime work (if the son / daughter is under 5 years old); maintaining a job with a reduction in staff.	possible reduction in the liquidation of the enterprise; if the child is over 7 years old, then the sick leave after the 15th day of illness is not paid in 100% of the amount (payment is made in the general manner according to the length of service)
tax incentives	exemption from payment of property tax; the right to a tax deduction (2,800 rubles for each child).	if the son/daughter is over 24 years old, then the tax deduction is not provided (even if the child is a full-time student)
Social benefits	Regional/municipal benefits: free sets of linen for newborns; free meals (dairy kitchen - for newborns, two meals a day - for schoolchildren); advantage in the waiting list for kindergarten. Regional benefits: discount when paying for tuition at art schools, sports clubs, etc.; full provision in a preschool institution.

To clarify information about benefits and the procedure for applying for them, a single mother must contact the social protection authorities at the place of residence.

How does the loss of MO status affect the receipt of benefits, benefits, etc.

When a mother loses her single status (gets married, adopts a child, etc.), the question often arises about the fate of state aid.

If we are talking about a one-time allowance, then previously received payments are inviolable, they are not subject to return, recalculation, offset, etc.

As for monthly state / regional benefits, the recipient of assistance (MO) must report a change in his life situation as soon as possible (where he applied for the benefit) before the next payment is received. Otherwise, a recalculation is possible, and if this information is deliberately withheld for a long time, the police may become interested in this fact (according to the statement of the payer of state/regional assistance about fraud).

Question answer

Question:
A woman raises her son on her own due to the fact that the father is deprived of parental rights. Can a woman get the status of a single mother?

No, since the ex-spouse is actually the father, as there is documentary evidence (birth certificate). The status of a single mother can only be obtained if information about the father is not documented.

Question:
The woman is raising her daughter, who is a disabled person of the 2nd group. At the age of 17, the daughter was officially employed. How much allowance can a mother expect?

Payments in the amount of 6,000 rubles. are transferred to the mother on a monthly basis until the daughter is employed. Assistance stops in the month when the daughter went to work. Social and tax benefits are retained in full, regardless of whether the daughter works or not.

In all countries, a single mother is a separate socially unprotected category of citizens. In the Russian Federation, such persons are provided with special payments and benefits, which are paid in accordance with the procedure established at the legislative level.

Before you understand how much a single mother earns, you should find out who is hiding behind this status. Indeed, according to the law, not only a woman who is independently engaged in raising minor children, but also other categories of citizens can become a mother with such a status.

Of course, for such a mother, funds are paid for the upbringing of her child, as well as for all other women. However, this category of citizens is entitled to increased payments, which only mothers who find themselves in a difficult life situation can count on.

In Russia, this status for a mother can be obtained only if there are special conditions defined at the level of legislation:

1. If the newborn was born in an unregistered marriage, and the registry office did not establish the fact of paternity;
2. If the child appeared in a registered marriage or within 8 months from the date of its official annulment in the registry office, and the mother has a court order indicating that the former spouse disputes his paternity;
3. The child was adopted by an unmarried woman;
4. If in the birth document of the baby, which was issued by the registry office, information about the father of the newborn was entered from the words of the mother. In such a situation, a document is issued in a special form, which means that all the data about the second parent was indicated from the words of the mother, which is not proof of paternity in relation to the baby;
5. If in the certificate for the child in the column "Father" there is a dash.

Until 2006, there was a special certificate for a single mother. Now all cash payments and other privileges are provided to such a category of citizens upon presentation of a birth certificate and a corresponding certificate from the registry office.

Provided up to 18 years of age. According to the norms of the legislation, state measures of social support cannot be provided again if the mother has already received and used them.

Payments at the birth of a child

The amount of the allowance for a single mother in 2017 is a little over 16,000 rubles. In 2018, it is planned to index this amount paid for the birth of the first child.

A lump sum payment is made at the birth of each child, without any exceptions. Funds are transferred within 6 days after the birth of the child.

Any parent can apply for these one-time payments.. In the case of a single mother, only a woman who has given birth to a child can apply for such a payment. In this case, the peculiarity of receiving such a social payment is that the mother does not need to receive a certificate from the place of work of the second parent, confirming that he has not previously received such funds.

There are two ways to apply for a one-time allowance:

1. For working women, this benefit is paid at the expense of the employer;
2. If the woman is unemployed, documents for obtaining benefits from the state are submitted to the Social Security Institution;

At the legislative level, it is not possible to hold liable the second parent who refuses to provide a certificate of non-receipt of benefits. In this case, the mother has the right to apply to his employer or go to court with a statement of claim.

But it is worthwhile to understand that such events take a lot of effort, time and nerves, which can affect the condition and health of a newborn child.

Monthly child care allowance

At the legislative level, monthly payments are provided for single mothers for the maintenance of a child. The transfer of such funds is made due to the fact that a woman, after the birth of a child, cannot perform labor functions.

By law, a monthly allowance must be paid to the mother of the child until the baby reaches the age of 1.5 years. The amount of such child care allowance for a working woman directly depends on her average salary for the previous two calendar years. Such payments must be transferred from the accounting department of the employer.

If the mother is not officially employed or did not work at all, payments are made as follows:

1. For the first baby a little more than 3,000 rubles;
2. For the second and each subsequent child, the amount of the payment is a little more than 6,000 rubles.

With regard to a single mother, such benefits should be received by the woman, thanks to whom the newborn child was born. If the family is complete, monthly payments are made only upon the provision of a certificate by the father of the child, indicating that he did not go on maternity leave and did not apply for this allowance for himself.

Additional payments to single mothers are possible only in the presence of significant circumstances.

Surcharges in the regions

Additional payments that mothers receive in the regions of the country, for example, in Moscow and the region, are established in the regulatory legal acts of this subject of the Russian Federation. The hotel legislative acts establish that part of the social assistance measures can be provided only to those citizens whose income is lower than the subsistence level established in the region or, in exceptional cases, in the country.

Regardless of the income of her family, a single mother has the opportunity to receive the following types of regional benefits:

1. Monthly compensation for increased cost of living. Only single mothers raising children under the age of sixteen can receive such a payment. The amount of compensation is 300 rubles;
2. Compensation paid as compensation for the increase in the cost of food, in the amount of just under 700 rubles. Only single mothers, families where one of the parents avoids making maintenance payments can receive such money;
3. Compensation to a mother or father who is raising a child with a disability of 1-2 groups under the age of 18. Receiving such compensation for a child under the age of 23 is possible if a citizen has a disability since childhood. The amount of the payment is 6,000 rubles;
4. Life growth benefit paid to mothers with children under the age of 16. The amount of the allowance is 750 rubles;
5. Monthly allowance for children under the age of 1.5 years and from 3 to 18 years old in the amount of 2,500 rubles;
6. Payment for caring for a child aged 1.5 to 3 years in the amount of 4,500 rubles.

By contacting a social security institution in the region of his residence, a citizen can receive other types of social assistance. For example, in some regions it is possible to receive compensation for kindergarten. And as a benefit for the second child, the cost of visiting the kindergarten is not paid.

How to apply for child support

To apply for benefits for a minor child, his mother must apply to the social security authority at the place of her registration. The package of submitted documents and the procedure for their consideration is established at the level of regional legislation.

Lump sum payment

A one-time payment for childbirth and for the subsequent care of a newborn child is always paid, regardless of the region of Russia, regardless of the order in which children appear in the family. In the case of single mothers, such an allowance should be paid in an increased amount (two or three times).

When applying for such an allowance, the mother must remember to observe certain features of this procedure.

1. Under the law, a woman is considered a single mother if the father is not listed in the documents for her child. That is, if the parents of the newborn did not submit a joint application to the registry office on the need to establish paternity in relation to the newborn;
2. If a woman is simply divorced from her husband, but information about him is included in the documents for the child, she will not be able to count on receiving benefits in an increased amount.

Additional payments

The opportunity to receive additional benefits is available only in 50 regions of the Russian Federation, and only in cases where the mother is raising 3 or more children.

There is an unemployed mother, paperwork for social support is carried out at the local social security institution. Also, all documents can be submitted through the MFC.

If the mother is officially employed, then part of the support measures is provided by her employer. Therefore, after the birth of a child, documents confirming the existence of such status must also be submitted to the office of your organization.

It is advisable to receive additional payments before the child reaches the age of six months. Otherwise, compensation for this period of time will not be paid.

Registration of preferential benefits consists of several important steps, the observance of which affects the entire course of the procedure. Inattentive execution may result in a denial of privileges.

Let's write a step-by-step instruction:

1. Familiarization with the list of compensations due to the family.
2. Direct collection of a package of necessary certificates and documents.
3. Beginning the application process and submission.
4. The reply is in process. As a rule, it lasts 14 days. Such a period is associated with the need to check all the documents provided and approve the status of a single mother.

An application form to the social security authorities is possible.

Subsidies can only be processed by the older generation: the mother herself or an official representative.

What documents will be needed

Documentation is an important step for applying for preferential benefits, which must be taken seriously. The absence of one certificate or an invalid document can suspend the entire process.

First you need to get evidence that the mother is really single.

This requires the following documents:

• identification;
• photograph 3x4 cm of the parent;
• birth certificate of each child;
• information about the composition of the family;
• certificate of residence;
• certificate of registration of marriage or divorce.

The main list of documents for obtaining subsidies for single mothers:

• information about the composition of the family;
• certificate from the registry office, where there is information about the father;

• sick leave from the clinic, which describes the process of pregnancy;
• certificate of registration at the employment center;

In order to find out exactly what information should be provided, it is recommended to clarify the information with the employees of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or the Federal Tax Service of Russia. Or contact the social support service directly.

Can they refuse

There are a number of good reasons for refusing a social service:

• the woman does not have the status of a single mother;
• providing false and inaccurate information about yourself and the child;
• the child is on state support (for example, in a boarding school);
• the child and his parent are not registered in the Moscow region;
• the mother is completely or partially deprived of parental rights;
• the status was obtained due to the low income of the mother, however, the average per capita income in the family is above the subsistence level.

If the refusal to provide benefits seemed unlawful, then you should contact the state body where the application was submitted. Employees will comment on their decision. In extreme cases, you can file a claim with the judiciary.

Thus, benefits for single mothers are provided in the Moscow Region in 2019 both at the federal and regional levels. Citizens enjoy full support from the state.

At the legislative level, a woman who gave birth to a child out of wedlock is recognized as a single mother, provided that there is a dash in the “Father” column.

Also, this status is given to women who have adopted a child without a husband, as well as those whose father of the child has challenged his paternity.

Naturally, it is very difficult to financially pull yourself and a child without a husband. Therefore, the state strongly supports single mothers.

Let's find out in detail what benefits and benefits are provided for single mothers in Russia in 2019?

The state strongly supports mothers who raise their children on their own. Therefore, at the state level, single mothers are entitled to various benefits and benefits:

• maternity allowance;
• maternity;
• one-time payment upon the birth of a child;
• monthly childcare assistance.

At the regional level, additional types of assistance are provided:

• monthly monetary compensation in case of inflation, frequent price increases;
• assistance to single mothers whose children have not reached the age of 3 years;
• regular cash payments to a woman for the purchase of baby food, etc.

The amount of payments largely depends on the place of residence of the woman. But there are payments that are set at the state level.

So, in 2019, the following payments to single mothers are provided:

The amount of financial assistance is as follows:

The amount of the monthly allowance for the second and subsequent child is about 6100 rubles.

Financial assistance includes monthly and one-time benefits:

Also, each region has its own types of material assistance to single mothers, for example:

• a one-time payment to single mothers under the age of 30 (in Moscow);
• monthly allowance for a single mother with a child under the age of 1.5 years.

A single mother will not be a woman who is divorced or whose husband has passed away. Indeed, in the birth certificate of the child in the column "Father" the entry was previously made.

For single mothers, there are various benefits regulated at the federal level.

These benefits are the same for all mothers in the country, they relate to:

Consider each position in more detail.

Regarding labor legislation in relation to single mothers, the following principles are provided:

Recruitment

The employer is obliged to hire a woman who is a single mother if she is suitable for the vacant position.

Refusal due to the fact that a woman has children is a violation of labor laws.

Very often, single mothers are faced with a situation when, while on maternity leave, they are informed that the department in which they worked is being cut.

Many start to panic, but you should not do this. You just need to know the laws of the Russian Federation.

According to Art. 261 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a woman recognized as a single mother raising a child under the age of 14 or a disabled child under 18 cannot be reduced, that is, fired without subsequent employment.

The issue of guarantees for a single woman raising a child regarding dismissal from an enterprise is regulated by Art. 261 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

The government of the Russian Federation in every possible way protects single mothers, and therefore prohibits them from being fired on the employer's own initiative.

The dismissal process can be:

According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 677 of 07/01/95 "On a preschool educational institution" - a child or children of single mothers have advantages in priority admission to a preschool institution.

In addition, payment for the maintenance of children in kindergartens has been reduced by 50% for single mothers.

Also, in many regions of Russia, there are local benefits for single mothers, for example:

Each region of the Russian Federation has its own social benefits for single mothers.

A tax deduction is an amount from an employee's income that is not subject to income tax. So, according to Art. 218 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, a double deduction is established for single mothers.

This means that the amount of deductions in 2019 is:

• for the 1st and 2nd child - 2800 rubles;
• for the third and each subsequent child - 6 thousand rubles;
• for a disabled child - 24 thousand rubles.

Due to the fact that the law establishes a double deduction for personal income tax, a single mother, thereby, has the opportunity to receive a salary higher than if she were not in this status.

A double deduction for personal income tax is provided until the annual income of the employee does not exceed 350 thousand rubles, that is, approximately 29 thousand rubles. per month.

If the income exceeds 350 thousand rubles, then personal income tax will be levied on the woman's full salary.

In order for the salary to be recalculated by double deduction, a single mother needs to contact the personnel department of the enterprise where she works, presenting the following documents:

• birth certificate of the child (children);
• application of the established form;
• certificate in form 25 (certificate of birth).

Can a single mother get an apartment from the state?

Getting a free apartment for single mothers is not provided for by the laws of the Russian Federation. But there are exceptions.

So, she can get an apartment if:

• she will provide written evidence that her family is poor;
• she has more than 3 children;
• she has no living space.

However, for single mothers there are other privileges regarding the housing issue.

So, the right to receive housing for a single mother without being put on the waiting list (priority list) is realized in the following cases:

• if the apartment (house) is in disrepair;
• if the apartment is in an unfavorable condition for the presence of a child in it;
• if the child is seriously ill;
• if the child or mother is disabled.

In these cases, the mother must receive an apartment out of turn.

If none of the items listed above apply to a single mother, then she should be on the waiting list for an apartment.

How to get housing in this case? To do this, you need to collect the necessary package of documents and transfer it to the local government.

In order to receive preferential housing, a single mother must:

Often you have to wait for your turn for housing for years. But the local authorities of the country offer social programs to single mothers, for example, covering housing costs, providing apartments from developers involved in the construction of budget apartments, obtaining a housing loan on favorable terms.

Yes, it can, but the procedure for obtaining subsidies is not regulated at the national, but at the regional level. This means that each region of Russia has its own social assistance programs for single mothers, its own subsidy amount.

The following factors influence the amount of the subsidy:

• family income level;
• amount of utility bills.

If the amount of utilities is above 22%, then such a family will be assigned a subsidy. Although in some regions of the Russian Federation the indicator of expenditure on housing and communal services has been reduced to 10%.

The state supports mothers who raise children on their own in every possible way. Such mothers claim an extensive list of benefits, allowances, as well as compensation payments: labor, housing, social benefits, material assistance, etc.

But in order to exercise these rights, a woman must obtain the status of a single mother.. It is assigned only in one case: if there is a dash in the child's birth certificate in the column "Father".

In other cases (divorce, death of a father), a woman is not entitled to the status of a single mother.
