It will not work to get rich during pregnancy and childbirth, but the state will provide some help.

Early pregnancy registration allowance

This payment is due to those who applied to the antenatal clinic with a gestational age of up to 12th Federal Law of 19.05.1995 N 81-FZ weeks. So the state encourages expectant mothers to start medical supervision of the child as early as possible.

Maternity allowance

These payments accompany maternity leave. They are intended only for mothers and are designed to compensate for the loss in income during the forced break from work. Accordingly, the same categories of women can receive the benefit as when registering at an early stage of pregnancy. The unemployed, if they were fired not because of the liquidation of the organization, are not entitled to payments.

Students and military personnel will receive payments in the amount of a scholarship or cash allowance. For those working under an employment contract, the amount of the allowance is calculated by the formula:

PPBiR = income 2 years before decree ÷ 730 or 731 days × number of days of decree.

At the same time, payments cannot exceed 340 795 rubles and be less than 58 878 rubles if the maternity leave lasts 140 days. This is the usual duration, but it can be longer - for example, with multiple pregnancies. The allowance is also due to mothers who adopt a baby up to three months. They get paid in 70 days.

Entrepreneurs pay contributions based on the minimum wage. This means that children's allowances will be calculated according to the same indicator. Mothers who were fired during the liquidation of the organization will receive 708, 23 Federal Law of 19.05.1995 N 81-FZ rubles. Some regions, for example Moscow On social support for families with children in the city of Moscow, are ready to support them additionally.

• 75% - if, even taking into account the 50% payment, the average per capita income does not reach the subsistence level;
• 100% - if this does not happen even with a payout of 75%.
