When planning to go on maternity leave, not all women know what payments are due to pregnant women and young mothers. Some of them are issued at work, and for the rest you will have to contact the social security department.

What can you get while pregnant?

The first benefit is paid if you register for pregnancy up to 12 weeks. Its size is quite modest. In addition to everything, it is "plus" to the assistance that is paid when leaving on maternity leave. So, the unemployed (with the exception of those who are fired from their jobs) or those studying at the university in the full-time department will not be able to get it. In order for it to be accrued, you must present a certificate from the antenatal clinic at work.

It is worth noting separately that in the capital there is another payment for registration. Those who got on it before the 20th week of pregnancy can get it. To obtain it, however, you will have to apply to RUSZN.

What payments are due to pregnant women in addition to the above? The largest of all compensations is due tothe moment of going on maternity leave, which occurs at the 30th week of pregnancy (the exception will be those who are expecting twins, then this period comes earlier). This is the so-called maternity leave. By default, its duration is 140 days. During this time, a woman has the right to receive compensation equal to her salary for the same period of time, but not more than 186,986.80 rubles. In case of complicated childbirth, the duration of this leave is increased by sixteen days, and in the case of the appearance of several babies, by forty days.

If the baby was born before 30 weeks, the postnatal leave will last 156 days, not 70 as usual. Payment for additional days is carried out according to the same scheme as the main part of the vacation.

The unemployed are not paid maternity allowance (even those who are on the labor exchange). Students are paid a scholarship during this period.

What payments are due to pregnant women who do not work?

If a woman is not employed while waiting for a baby, due to the fact that the company where she worked was liquidated, she does not lose her right to benefits. The payment will be made from the federal budget.

If the expectant mother is registered with the labor exchange, then until the gestational age of 30 weeks, she is en titled to receive unemployment benefits. Prenatal and postnatal leave will not be paid.

What can I expect after giving birth?

The appearance of a baby en titles parents to a lump sum, which is paidat the place of work. By the way, if a young mother does not work, and her husband is employed, he can receive the payment.

If both parents are not officially employed or are students, they should contact the Social Security Center.

These payments can be received living in any region of the country. In some constituent entities of the Russian Federation, young parents also have the right to count on local compensation.

Thus, in Moscow, parents whose age has not exceeded thirty years are en titled to fairly serious material assistance. This also applies to those who have not had their first baby.

Maternity capital belongs to the same category of payments. It is put after the birth of the second baby. In 2013, its amount was 408,960 rubles.

Payments for children

When postnatal leave ends, another one comes - to care for the child. It lasts until the child's third birthday, but is paid up to one and a half. The amount of payments depends on the salary that the mother received before the decree (it is 40% of it). The maximum amount of payment for such a vacation is limited to 16,241 rubles.

Non-working mothers are also en titled to a baby allowance, however, in the minimum amount. For the first child, it is 2454 rubles, for the second - twice as much.

Well, after this moment and before the baby is 3 years old, you can only count on compensation, which is enough for a couple of bags of kefir, since it is equal to 50 rubles.

Knowing what payments are due to pregnant women and those who have already become a mother, you can geta solid addition to the family budget, which needs it so much.
