Additional Measures of Social Support for Families with Children

The amendments specify and complement clauses of the Executive Order On Additional Measures of Social Support for Families with Children concerning monthly payments to such families, as well as the introduction of additional one-off payment for each child aged between 3 and 16.

In particular:

RUB 10,000 will be paid for each minor. The President introduces unconditional support for families with children, regardless of their income level or whether their parents have a job. Each child under 16 years of age will be paid  RUB 10.000, based on a simple electronic application from parents or guardians.

In total, 27 million Russian children will receive such support. This payment does not cancel, but complements previously entered support measures. RUB 5.000 thousand a month for children under 3 years of age will be paid not only to those who have the right to maternity capital, but also to all families with such children (from April to June); one-half of the subsistence minimum for children from 3 to 7 years of age from low-income families (from June 1-one-time for all previous months, that is, on average, RUB 33.000  per child, then-monthly) and RUB 3.000 per month for each minor child of their families, where one or both parents lost their jobs (from April to June). In addition, the amount of child benefit has been doubled.
