Help for families with many children by September 1. Payments to low-income families
This fall, parents have the right to participate in the Assistance to Large Families program for first-graders - 14,000 rubles. This is convenient for families with insufficient finances. The support program applies to all cities of the Russian Federation, only the amount of payments per family differs.
Who is eligible for this assistance?
This financial assistance is intended for a family with low-income status, which, due to certain circumstances, cannot provide the student with the necessary supplies.
The poor are those who have a monthly income that does not reach the subsistence level, while it is not possible to fully support a child. The current legislation clearly defines the parents who are classified as requiring payments. The following segments of the population apply for government assistance:
- Persons whose income is less than the minimum wage.
- If children are raised only by the mother or only by the father.
- If there are more than three children in the family, regardless of age.
- If one of the parents was obliged to serve.
In legal practice, authorized services do not check the presence of family members, but what salary one person receives. To determine whether individuals can receive payments, a small calculation is done: each member's salary is added up and divided by the total number of people living together.
If, as a result, the subsistence minimum established regionally is not achieved, then the family can be classified as low-income and it applies for support from the state for the schoolchild.
What kind of support is offered to first graders?
If the family’s finances do not reach the minimum, and the family has a future first-grader, current legislation provides for two types of different government payments. In the current year 2017, individuals have the right to receive:
- One-time financial support before entering an educational institution.
- Every month, assistance is provided for the purchase of office supplies.
The first type is given to each person in need in the amount of 14 thousand rubles. But this amount is not exact, since different budgets are determined at the regional level. If there is more than one first-grader in a family, then the state distributes the amount evenly to everyone.
This financial assistance is obtained by requesting in writing, at least one parent, guardian or guardian of the child applies to the social benefits service with an attachment at the place of residence, the following documentation should be submitted:
- Passport details.
- Personal documentation of the child.
- List all family members.
- Documentation received from the regional department of social development confirming that financial support for the preschooler was not provided elsewhere. Valid at the moment if the persons living in the family are registered at a different address.
- Information from the educational institution confirming that the child begins studying on September 1.
- Personal account where the money will come.
The deadlines are indicated until the start of the school year in the first grade. You must submit the required information within six months from the start of your studies.
Moreover, in this case the amount is paid in a lump sum, the student will study for a long time. He needs to buy a lot of stationery and clothes throughout the year, as children grow quickly. The second type of financial state support is established by law - payment for purchased office supplies.
It is produced every month, but in smaller quantities than with a one-time receipt. Such support is provided to the poor and...
The set of documentation in this case is the same.
But the deadlines for registration are not so flexible; in this option, you must submit all the necessary documentation before the end of December.
There are many similar citizens on the territory of the Russian Federation who are using their savings to send minors to school for the first time this year. At the state level, everything necessary is being done to ensure that there is a simplified process for assigning appropriate payments.
Receipt is carried out by each family that needs them; if fees for a first-grader’s educational institution hit the family finances, then you should contact the social finance department with an attachment to your residential address.
When is funding available?
Funds for a first-grader are assigned by the state from the moment a parent submits a petition to the appropriate social body, and parents can receive them from August 1 to December 1 of this year.
The following have the right to receive payments on September 1 and submit an application to social authorities:
- official parent of a preschooler;
- adoptive parent;
- guardian or trustee.
It should be remembered that citizens who applied for these payments may be held liable for providing knowingly false information about their family. If the documentation turns out to be fictitious or the information is unreliable, then the persons who provided it must pay penalties in the amount established by law.

- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
- statement;
- certificates and/or birth certificates of all children;

The state provides financial assistance for certain categories of citizens. There are quite a lot of programs that provide support. They are implemented by both social protection authorities and employers.
A fairly wide range of people who find themselves in difficult situations may qualify for help, so it is best, before you start collecting documents, to contact social security and find out which program you will be able to qualify for in 2019. Below we will describe the most popular community outreach programs.
Target contracts
At the end of 2012, changes were made to the laws on social assistance. A new type of support has appeared - concluding contracts with the population. In 2018-2019, these amendments remain relevant. The state, under the terms of this agreement, issues social assistance (including financial assistance), and the citizen undertakes to undergo an adaptation program and fulfill one of the conditions:
- job search;
- undergoing training in a specific profession;
- completing advanced training programs;
- opening your own small business;
- farming.
First of all, the opportunity to receive this type of support is available to needy families who are in difficult situations. According to data from the regions in which the project was implemented as a pilot, 50% of families were able to get out of a difficult life situation, and their income more than doubled. Currently, the program operates throughout Russia. In 2019, its implementation is being carried out with the help of social protection specialists and the Employment Center.
How to get help for large families
Large families can also become applicants for assistance from the state in 2019. They are supported in several ways - in the form of benefits, allowances and payments once a year. For example, in a number of regions, before September 1, large families receive funds to pay for their children’s school fees. A prerequisite is the upbringing of all children in the family, and not in special children's institutions.
Federal law provides for subsidies for large families in the form of reductions in monthly utility bills, child benefits, and payments to mothers (they are treated the same as working people and can receive 1 minimum wage until the youngest child turns 16 years old). Also, families with 3 or more children can receive a plot of land on preferential terms for farming or building a country house.
Regional payments are more varied. First of all, for the 3rd or 4th child, regional maternity capital is assigned (about 100,000 rubles, which can be used for the same needs as the federal one). There are a number of payments that compensate for the costs of purchasing goods for newborns, food and clothing.
For a complete list of benefits you may qualify for, contact your local Social Security office. Increasingly, with the advent of the third and subsequent children, the income of family members is not enough to provide everyone with a decent standard of living. In this case, pay attention to payments to the poor.
Financial support program for the poor
The amount of money per family member is calculated based on data on the income of all able-bodied adults in it. It is necessary to submit certificates for the last three months to the social security authorities. The income amounts are added together and then divided among all family members. If the amount received is below the minimum subsistence level established in the region, then the family receives a special status. She becomes poor.
Every year the cost of living is indexed; in 2019, each region has its own value. You can find out about it at the administration of your district or at the social security department. Its average value in Russia this year is 8,200 rubles.
In some cases no assistance is provided. For example, if the family has one or more able-bodied members, but they do not want to work. The only exceptions are the following cases:
- the need to care for children or elderly relatives;
- loss of property due to reasons beyond the control of the applicants;
- maternity leave;
- inability to go to work due to serious illness.
However, increasingly, assistance is provided only to those families in which all able-bodied members are registered as unemployed or employed (earnings may be minimal). At the same time, the composition of the family can be different, and often it is not only parents and children, but also grandparents and grandchildren.
In 2019, in addition to benefits for education, taxes and housing and communal services, other assistance to the poor is provided. For example, a child has access to the following list of support measures:
- Meals twice a day in the canteen for school students.
- Providing a place on the list of beneficiaries.
- Subsidies for the purchase or free issuance of school and sports uniforms.
- Children under 6 years of age are prescribed free medicines for illnesses.
- Once a year, compensation is 50% of the cost of travel for treatment in a sanatorium (applies to one accompanying person).
It became possible for parents in such families to receive:
- Preferential working conditions.
- Beginning entrepreneurs do not need to pay a fee for opening an individual entrepreneur.
- Reducing the retirement age.
- Obtaining a garden plot out of turn.
- Lower mortgage requirements and interest rates.
- Tickets for visiting exhibitions and museum displays (no more than once a month).
- State payment for nanny services (this assistance is available only to residents of large cities, and details about it can only be found in the social security department at your place of residence).
In addition, it is possible to pay financial assistance in the form of benefits or one-time transfers, which is regulated by regional laws.
Other types of government support in 2019
In 2019, needy WWII veterans can receive one-time targeted assistance of up to 15,000 rubles for the purchase of necessary household appliances, replacement of plumbing equipment or dental prosthetics.
To do this, you need to collect basic documents, write an application and prove the need to purchase equipment or prosthetics. Money to pay for dental services is the easiest to give - to do this, you just need to bring the relevant certificates and an extract from the outpatient card to social security.
According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, they are provided for first-graders. Such families include those who have three or more minor children. The allowance is intended to help the child go to school, buy him office supplies and other things necessary for his studies.
Who has the right to apply for funds, and what financial assistance is available to future first-graders? Let's look further.
Financial assistance to parents of first-graders: who is entitled to
Financial support from the state is provided to large families with one or more children going to first grade. This type of social support from the state is also provided to low-income families in which parents cannot provide the first-grader with everything necessary for school. Who is entitled to receive benefits for first-graders:
- families with low income;
- a parent who is temporarily raising children alone due to the fact that the other is in military service;
- single-parent families where there is only one parent;
- parents raising more than two minor children.
Types of financial assistance for first-graders for large families
If the family is low-income, it is entitled to financial assistance.
In 2018, the amounts of state aid were:
- a one-time social payment from the state to prepare a child for first grade in the amount of 7500 rub..;
- one-time payment for schoolchildren in grades 2-11 in the amount of 5000 rub. for each child;
- cash benefits for the purchase of office supplies, which are accrued every month.
The first type of financial assistance is provided to the family once, but for each of the children, in the years when they started school. If several children go to first grade in the same year, then the parents of first-graders receive financial assistance for each of them.
For families raising more than ten children, the state has provided a benefit in the amount of 15,000 rub.
Each region establishes additional measures to support large families. The amount of assistance depends on the capabilities of the regional budget, and must be regulated by a certain regulatory act. It will specify the conditions for receipt, timing and amount of payments for citizens who live in this region.
The amount of such support varies from 1500 to 14700 rubles. based on your region of residence.
The second type of financial assistance is one-time payments for the purchase of various office supplies. The amount of such payments is much lower than the benefit before the start of first grade, but it is paid every month.
The basis for receiving such payments is the Decree on regional one-time benefits in a certain region. The funds paid to prepare children for school have a specific purpose, but parents do not have to submit reports to the authorities.

Every year, the level of assistance is reviewed, economic indicators such as inflation and are taken into account, after which new amounts of payments are approved. Indexation is a mandatory process, since over the past reporting period there is always an increase in the cost of certain types of products.
So, every citizen who has certain problems with their financial condition is recommended to clarify what lump sum payment is provided from September 1, 2019, for what category and on what grounds. In addition, you should pay attention to already established support mechanisms - often people simply do not know that they can count on receiving assistance from the state.
Distinctive Features
Social benefits are provided directly to a citizen or his family members, and they are characterized by the following features:
- appointment and payment are carried out only by government agencies;
- funds are allocated from the federal or regional budget;
- can be either one-time or systematic;
- the amount is set taking into account the citizen’s salary or in accordance with standard indicators;
- has a targeted nature.
It is also worth noting that the need for assistance is determined according to the degree of need of the person, therefore, in the absence of it, payments are not provided.
Factors influencing the assignment of benefits
Benefits are assigned based on a number of factors:
Different types of assistance are assigned to each group separately - individual circumstances of consideration are largely considered significant.
Species
All government measures to provide assistance to people in need are expressed in the following classifications:
It should be noted that the amount of state assistance for any social category is established in strict accordance with legislative acts. As noted earlier, the regional budget also participates in supporting its own residents.
So, they can make some adjustments to the amount of payments, but only upward. At the same time, they do not have the right to exclude certain measures - only to add new ones.
Support for mothers
The demographic situation in Russia does not sufficiently satisfy the government of the country, therefore there are a number of mechanisms whose purpose is to support mothers to stimulate the population to increase the birth rate.
The amount of financial assistance for each case may be different, as certain features of the citizen’s status affect it. For example, the amount of payments for a single mother will be significantly higher than for a full family.
In particular, the state provides for the following measures:
| Characteristic | Payment amount |
| An employed woman going on maternity leave. | According to sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth - 100% of the average daily income for previous periods. |
| Minimum (calculation according to the minimum wage) for employed women for 140 days during normal childbirth. | 43,615.65 rubles. |
| Minimum (calculated according to the minimum wage) for employed women for 156 days during complicated childbirth. | 48,600.30 rubles. |
| Minimum (calculated by) for employed women for 194 days during multiple pregnancy. | 60,438.84 rubles. |
| Maximum (calculated based on the maximum value of the insurance base) for employed women for 140 days during normal childbirth. | 282,106.70 rubles. |
| Maximum (calculated based on the maximum value of the insurance base) for employed women for 156 days during complicated childbirth. | 314,347.47 rubles. |
| Maximum (calculated based on the maximum value of the insurance base) for employed women for 194 days in case of multiple pregnancy. | 390,919.29 rubles. |
| Unemployed woman (calculation is made if the dismissal was made in connection with the liquidation of the enterprise). | Calculated using the formula: 628.47 for one month. |
| , who are in military service under a contract. | Based on monetary allowance individually in each specific case. |
| Full-time student. | In the amount of monthly. |
Obviously, for any of the situations it is important to note certain individual circumstances of the case, so it is quite possible to assign additional payments.
For children
Having a child and raising a child is a very expensive process, considering how much you need to purchase for its normal development.
The state understands this, and therefore provides assistance for families with minor children:
| Category | Payment amount |
| Child up to 1.5 years old. | 3,142.33 rubles for the first and 6,284.65 rubles for the second and subsequent ones. These are the minimum values. If the mother was employed before going on maternity leave, then the value is established by calculating 40% of the average monthly earnings. |
| Third child under 3 years old. | The cost of living according to regional data. |
| Child of a conscript soldier. | 11,374.18 rubles. |
| -military. | 2,287.65 rubles. |
| Child of the Chernobyl zone up to 1.5 years old. | 3,241.05 rubles. |
| Child of the Chernobyl zone up to 3 years old. | 6,482.10 rubles. |
| A family recognized as low-income (paid until the child turns 19 years old). | The amount and procedure for provision are established in the regions. |
All these payments are monthly and remain valid as long as the family or child meets the category criteria.
Other
In addition to regular payments, it is also worth considering certain types of one-time assistance that are relevant for children or mothers:
In addition to social payments aimed at maintaining an optimal demographic situation in the country, many other measures are provided, among which the following should be highlighted:
| Characteristic | How is it provided? | Payment amount |
| For unemployment. | After registering with the Employment Center for several months. | It is set individually, but not less than 850 rubles and not more than 4,900 rubles. |
| Due to illness. | The employer pays the employed, and the labor exchange pays the unemployed. | Calculated taking into account average income and length of service. |
| For single mothers. | There are many benefits provided. For example, compensation for costs of baby food, school supplies, and housing and communal services. | The amounts are set by regional authorities. |
| . | Every month throughout life or until health is restored. | The amount depends on the category, the presence of dependents and other reasons. |
