Social assistance to low-income families c. Family income level to obtain low-income status

The problem of poverty in our country today is quite a hot topic for discussion.

Traditionally low social status the most vulnerable categories of citizens have. In most examples, these are single-parent families, citizens with disabilities, and pensioners who have no one to care for them.

Such social phenomena, how poverty in economic matters is connected, first of all, with the lack of the ability of the working-age population to ensure a minimum sufficient level of their existence.

What is targeted assistance?

In order to solve the problem of economic poverty, there is a need to take specific measures. One of these solutions is to ensure the possibility of involving as many citizens as possible in labor activity. Methods for reforming the wage payment system, correcting shortcomings in the current tax policy, etc. are also used. overcoming poverty among the population depends on the quality of income distribution in the region social protection.

As mentioned above, low-income families are one of the most vulnerable categories of citizens. Billions of rubles are specifically allocated by the state to support this part of the population. What exactly does low-income status provide:

  1. Individuals have the opportunity to apply for any, a list of which is given in the current legislation.
  2. Have the right to receive from government authorities.

In most examples, support for the poor is provided by government authorities in the form of regular payments. Often this type of assistance is one-time in nature and falls under the definition of a scholarship. In some cases, money is given for the purchase of food - this is the so-called targeted assistance. It is also practiced to apply benefits when purchasing medicines.

Those in need are distributed at the federal and regional levels. The size of the regional subsidy may be determined by the area in which the poor live.

In 2019, government support for the poor is provided by: ways:

  1. Subsidies for paying off utility bills. Citizens are entitled to this even if they do not have their own living space.
  2. Children raised in low-income families are given the opportunity to enroll in a huge number of higher educational institutions. In this case, there is no need to take part in the main competition for applicants.

Citizens of the Russian Federation who wish to obtain low-income status are advised to independently determine their own average per capita income. To do this, the total family income for a three-month period is calculated.

We list the payments that can be family income, in addition to the official salary:

  1. Financial assistance already received from the state;
  2. Revenues expressed in in kind– own vegetables, fruits, livestock products;
  3. Pension;
  4. Other types of income, for example, income from renting out living space.

The total amount of income is first divided into 3 months, after which distributed equally for all family members. Next, it is necessary to clarify the amount established in the specific region of the Russian Federation where citizens who wish to obtain the status of a low-income family live. The reason is that some areas are more attractive to potential investors and residents, while others are constantly losing population. It is for this reason that the cost of living may differ depending on the region of residence.

Who is entitled to this type of assistance and in what amount?

Help for low-income people in the Russian Federation is always assigned to families whose total income is lower living wage installed in a specific region.

The value is fixed and tied to a specific region of residence of a person.

The law provides for these payments:

  • large families with minor children;
  • single-parent families with only one parent;
  • in the presence of children with a disability status whose age is less than 18 years;
  • families where one or both parents are disabled;
  • unemployed parents raising minor dependents, provided that they are officially registered with employment centers. Assistance is paid within 90 days from the date of registration;
  • single people with group 3 disabilities;
  • persons with childhood pathologies - until adulthood.

The intended purpose of this income item is meet the primary needs of the country's most socially vulnerable citizens.

There is no fixed amount of targeted assistance to the poor in 2019 - it is different in each region and for each group of people.

This year there are the following types of targeted assistance within the framework of the status of low-income citizens:

  • payment for a newborn – 17,479.73 rubles;
  • adoption of a disabled child – 133,559.36 rubles;
  • assistance to first-graders - from 730 rubles. (depending on the region);
  • for travel to public transport– from 240 rub. (depending on the region);
  • assistance not for children - depends on the region of residence of the person in need and will average 1,555 rubles;
  • for a student – ​​from 750 rubles (depending on the region);
  • payments for food - the amount is determined individually by social services.

These payments cannot cancel or reduce the amount of basic government payments due to a low-income family under the current legislation on a general basis.

Other types of cash payments cannot cancel benefits for families who have received low-income status.

Registration procedure

The completed application regarding the appointment of targeted assistance from the state is submitted to the social security department, located in the area where low-income citizens live. The procedure for completing a specific application, as well as the conditions that must be met for subsequent consideration, are determined exclusively by the Regional Administration.

Let's consider list of required documents for submission to the authorized bodies:

Features of receiving in Moscow and in the regions

The Special Committee for Social Protection of Citizens in Moscow and other regions is engaged in ensuring social assistance and additional financing, as well as planning the main directions and methods of support and financing.

Practical activities to collect all the necessary information for a regional banking organization about citizens in need of social support, is always assigned to local government departments and is carried out in accordance with specific guidelines previously approved by the Administration of the individual region in question.

About the features of receiving such assistance in the Murmansk region, see the following video:

Last updated October 2019

The state at the federal and regional levels provides support to low-income families by paying them cash benefits and providing benefits. This article contains the most current information about what payments low-income families are entitled to in 2019, their size by region, benefits, etc. All data is given taking into account the latest changes.

One-time financial assistance to the poor

It should be noted that low-income people have the right to receive both benefits determined by their social status, and those that are due to all categories of citizens without exception upon the occurrence of certain conditions. That is, receiving assistance due to “low income” does not deprive them of the right to apply for general payments. Many people don't even know what benefits they are entitled to. Therefore, it would not be amiss to recall what social lump-sum payments are due to the poor on a general basis, that is, without taking into account their specific situation.

One-time payments due to the poor on a general basis

Payment upon registration at the antenatal clinic (pregnancy up to 12 weeks)

Women from low-income families can receive it. Required condition– registration up to 12 weeks, which is confirmed by a certificate from the hospital where the patient is being observed. This certificate is submitted simultaneously with documents for receiving maternity benefits:

  • at the woman’s place of work;
  • to the department (department, management) of social protection (for the unemployed) or to the multifunctional center.

From 02/01/2017, the benefit amount is 613.44 rubles.

Payment in the third trimester of pregnancy for wives of military personnel

Starting from the 180th day of pregnancy, wives of military personnel have the right to receive financial assistance, the amount of which from 02/01/2017 is - RUB 25,892.45.

Mandatory conditions for receiving are:

  1. officially registered marriage;
  2. husband's military service this moment or dismissal from service no more than 6 months before applying for benefits.

This refers to conscripted military personnel, that is, “conscripts”! This benefit is not paid to the wives of “contract soldiers”, as well as cadets!

You can obtain it by submitting the following documents to the Social Security office or MFC at your wife’s place of residence:

  1. a certificate from the antenatal clinic about the duration of pregnancy in days (note that it is not in months, because this will not be accepted!);
  2. a certificate from the military unit, if the future father is still serving, or from the military commissariat, if he has already completed his service;
  3. a copy of the applicant's passport;
  4. a copy of the marriage certificate;
  5. a copy of the bank account for transferring funds.

One-time payment upon birth of a child

It is paid to all parents without exception, including single parents. If there are two parents, it is registered in the name of one of them at his place of work, and if the parents do not work anywhere or are individual entrepreneurs, it is registered with the social security authority or the MFC. You can receive this benefit at the birth of each child - first, second, etc.

Regardless of the parents’ employment, this type of assistance is paid in the amount of RUB 16,350.3. This is the base rate, but supplements may be added to it from the regional budget.

To complete it, you will need copies of the marriage certificate and the birth certificate of the child, the applicant’s passport, a certificate from the registry office about the birth, and also that the second parent was not paid benefits, which is taken from him at work or from the social security office at his place of residence.

Benefit for an adopted child

Paid after the court decision on adoption comes into force, but no later than 6 months from this date. It can be received by one parent or the family that adopted the child, regardless of the latter’s age.

Standard size – RUB 16,350.3 just like when you give birth to your own child.

But if you take into your family a disabled child, a toddler under 7 years of age, several brothers/sisters, then the amount will be many times greater - RUB 124,929.83.

The documents for registration are similar to those listed in the paragraph above, only a court decision on adoption and a certificate of disability (if the child is disabled) are added.

One-time payments to the poor, depending on their status

To clarify the information, it is better to contact the local administration or social security department, since payments are either assigned or canceled by local acts. As an example, below is general information regarding what a one-time payment may be social benefit to the poor by region, as well as its amount.

Financial assistance to low-income citizens (single) and families

Not to be confused with monthly payments! To receive it, you need to submit an application to social security, the MFC or through the government services website, in which you indicate your income, family composition, property, social services provided, and also present your passport and a copy of it. Such payments are not made in all regions; they are not approved at the federal level, which means that decisions on their assignment are made locally. As a rule, the condition for obtaining it is that the applicant is in difficult circumstances. life situation(raising a child on your own, your own illness or illness of a family member, etc.)

So, for example:

  1. In Vologda, you can receive a one-time benefit for low-income families in 2017 in the amount of 300 to 10,000 rubles.
  2. Low-income residents of St. Petersburg have the right to receive emergency social assistance in the amount of up to 100,000 rubles.
  3. Residents of Samara can count on providing one-time financial assistance to citizens who find themselves in difficult life situations, which include situations where the average per capita income in a family is below the subsistence level.

One-time payment to first-graders from low-income families

Typically, parents strive to receive such assistance before September 1, although in fact it can be obtained within 6 months after the child enters first grade. Its size is determined by regional legislation, so for clarification it is better to contact the local social security department, where you will submit documents. Among them:

  • Passport of one of the parents;
  • Birth certificate;
  • Certificate of family composition;
  • Certificate of income;
  • Help from educational institution about admitting a child to first grade;

If the parents do not live together, then also a certificate from the social security at the place of his residence stating that he did not receive such assistance.

Below is comparison table based on payments for 2016.

It is worth noting that in Moscow such assistance is not provided for all low-income families, but only for large families, and on paper it is called “allowance for the purchase of school uniform».

In some regions, not benefits are paid, but compensation for the purchase of school uniforms: parents buy them at their own expense, and then bring checks to the social security department, after which compensation comes to their account.

Monthly benefits for low-income families: types and amount

To assign any of the benefits described below, you need to contact the social security authorities once, and funds will be transferred to your current account every month. Let's talk about each of them separately.

Monthly child benefit for low-income families

Its payment is “legalized” at the federal level, but the amount is at the regional level, so below is a table showing the amount of benefits for low-income families per child by region.

Moscow Saint Petersburg Yekaterinburg Belgorod
Up to 1.5 years 1500 2920 521 280
1.5 - 3 years 2500 848 521 280
3-7 years 1500 848 521 280
7-16 years 1500 787 521 280
If parents are disabled 6000 5778 – up to 7 years
4013 – up to 18 years old
1113 1230
If the child is disabled 6000 5778 1113 1230
The child is disabled and the parents are disabled 6000 8023 1113 1230
Child with HIV infection 6000 6223 1113 1230
Child (inv) with special needs 6000 13019 1113 1230

Benefits for low-income families in Moscow and St. Petersburg are noticeably higher than in other regions, which is explained by the higher cost of living in both “capitals” (30-40% in Moscow, 15-30% in St. Petersburg). Paid until the child reaches 16 years of age or 18 years of age if the child is a full-time student.

Child benefit for low-income large families (for the 3rd child)

In addition to the above benefit, which is paid to low-income families with a child under 16 years of age, there is another one - which is provided for families where a third or more child is born. Subsequently, it is issued for each child after the third, that is, the fourth, fifth, etc. It is transferred to the parents' account until the baby turns 3 years old.

It is introduced in those regions where the birth rate is low - less than 13.3 newborns per 100 people over the past 3 years. For example, since 2017, such assistance was no longer paid in Crimea, since the crisis in the demographic situation of the region was overcome. In Moscow there is no such benefit either, but there is a whole range of monthly compensation payments for large families: to compensate for the increase in the cost of food, for using the telephone, etc.

The amount of benefits for the third child (and subsequent ones) in some regions of the Russian Federation can be found below.

It is better to submit documents before the child turns 6 months old, since it will not be possible to collect debt “after the fact” for more than 6 months.

Example No. 1. Izotova Ya.V. gave birth to her third child on August 13, 2018. She submitted documents for obtaining benefits to social security on December 7 of the same year. At the end of December, she was paid benefits not only for December, but also for the 4 previous months - November, October, September, August.

Example No. 2. Klimenko A.B. gave birth to her third child on August 11, 2018. I started applying for benefits on March 15, 2019. She will no longer be able to return all the benefits that she has not been paid since August, since it is possible to return the “debt” only for six months, that is, March, February, January, December, November, October. No benefits will be paid for September and August.

This benefit is calculated ONCE, that is, if twins are born, then a double amount of the benefit or registration of two benefits is not provided - one benefit of the established amount will still be paid, even if in fact there are two children.

Not only natural parents can apply for benefits (this was the case until 2015), but also adopted ones.

Monthly travel allowance for students from low-income families

This benefit for the poor can be assigned only if there are no places for the child in the educational institution at the place of residence, and therefore he has to travel by transport to a more distant institution.

For this you will need the following documents:

  • statement;
  • passport of one of the parents;
  • birth certificate;
  • certificate of family composition;
  • work books (if parents do not work);
  • certificate of salary or income for 3 months No.;
Ekaterinburg 400 RUR
Tomsk 100 RUR
Voronezh 422 RUR

In a number of other cities, payments are not made, but benefits apply free travel for schoolchildren: St. Petersburg, Lipetsk, Ufa, Bryansk, Tambov, etc.

Targeted assistance to low-income families and single people (not for children)

Let's look at the example of the Volgograd region, the conditions and amount of payment of monthly targeted assistance. In other regions it may also be paid - contact your local social security department for details.

In the Volgograd region, low-income families or single people with the same status can receive it if:

  • They do not own any property;
  • They do not have individual entrepreneur status;
  • Unemployed able-bodied family members are officially registered at the employment center as unemployed.

Assistance is paid for 6 months in the following amount:

You can apply again after one and a half years from the date of its initial appointment, that is, from the day the decision was made to assign targeted assistance for the first time.

The “targeting” of this assistance lies in the fact that it is sent to an individual family or single person who needs not only material, but also social assistance. It can be expressed not only in the form of a monthly benefit payment, but also in lump sum payments.

Also, in some regions, it is possible to conclude a social contract, according to which a low-income person who finds himself in a critical situation receives a lump sum payment to overcome it.

Social scholarships and other payments for students

From September 1, 2016, the procedure for paying social scholarships has changed. Previously, any student who declared that his income was below the subsistence level could apply for it. Now only those who have actually been assigned any of the social benefits will be able to apply for it, that is, if the state has already recognized them as low-income and has begun to provide financial assistance.

It is paid from the scholarship fund, which in turn is formed from regional budgets.

The size is set at the discretion of the university, but it cannot be less than:

  • 2010 rubles for universities;
  • RUR 730 – for college students.

The procedure for its registration is as follows:

  1. The following documents are submitted to the social protection department at the place of residence:
    • Passport;
    • Certificate of family composition;
    • Documents confirming the income of all members of his family for the last 3 months;
    • Certificate from the dean’s office that the student is studying on a budget;
    • Document confirming that the applicant has received additional paper.
  2. No later than 10 days from the date of submission of documents, the social security authorities must calculate the family’s income, determine whether the family is low-income, and if so, issue a receipt confirming the right to a social scholarship.
  3. With this certificate, the student goes to the dean’s office, where he writes an application addressed to the dean to provide him with a social scholarship.
  4. After this, the dean’s office issues an order to assign a social scholarship.

This procedure must be done every year.

In addition to social scholarships, additional payments to families with students may be introduced at the discretion of regional administrations. These are not social scholarships and they do not replace the latter! For example, in St. Petersburg, every low-income family with students is entitled to an allowance in the amount of 3,210 rubles.

Monthly payment for nutritious food

The following are entitled to receive it:

  • Pregnant woman (12-40 weeks);
  • Mothers who have children under 3 years of age who do not go to kindergarten.

If a single father is raising a child, then he is also entitled to payments.

The conditions for receiving payment are:

  1. Medical indications. Only pregnant women and children under one year old do not need to be confirmed. If the child over a year old, then parents must provide certificates from the hospital confirming that the child requires enhanced nutrition (for example, some kind of disease, poor development, etc.).
  2. Low income. It is necessary to prove the lack of funds necessary to ensure adequate nutrition.

The amount of benefits by region is shown in the table.

Cash assistance for food can be replaced with in-kind assistance. For example, food baskets are issued in the following regions:

  • Moscow and region;
  • Belgorod region;
  • Kamchatka Krai;
  • Kabardino-Balkarian Republic;
  • Astrakhan region;
  • Murmansk region;
  • Saratov region.

What benefits are provided for low-income people?

At the federal and regional levels, there are benefits for low-income families, which allow significant savings in the costs of an already meager family budget. Depending on the place of residence, the “set of benefits” may vary, but the most common ones, which are valid in most constituent entities of the Russian Federation, are listed below:

  • Housing and communal services benefits can be obtained by those who spend more than 22% of their monthly income on utility bills. They are provided in the form of subsidies, which are paid over 6 months.
  • Providing social mortgage, in which the state subsidizes part of the interest rate.
  • Free housing or a garden plot on social rent terms for those who live in dilapidated houses, are forced to share one room with another family, live with people with dangerous chronic diseases, huddle in a living space where there is less than the norm per person (each region has its own accounting norm ).
  • Payment of payment to kindergarten in a reduced amount: for the first – 20%, for the second – 50%, for the third – 70%.
  • Priority placement of a child in kindergarten without a queue.
  • Tax benefit. Social benefits received by low-income people are not taxed.
  • Free legal advice and representation of interests in court.

  • Non-competitive admission to a university on a budget, if the child’s parent has a group 1 disability.

  • Labor benefits in the form of additional leave, reduced working hours.
  • Free registration of individual entrepreneurs.

What is a social card and what is it for?

It is planned to introduce social cards throughout Russia by 2018, but for now they are only valid in some regions. Benefits will be credited directly to these cards, which can also be used to pay in specialized stores. They will be serviced by banks, that is, in essence they will be “target” bank cards.

In Ulyanovsk and many other regions, food social cards have already been issued, using which the poor can purchase locally produced products worth 1000 rubles.

And in St. Petersburg they are issued to calculate children's social benefits for the poor. You can use them to pay in specialized children's goods stores.

Contact your local Social Insurance Fund to find out how benefits are paid and how benefits work for the poor in your region.

For a long period of time, the system of social protection and support of the population practically did not take into account the needs of the population Russian Federation in additional material and in-kind support. Moreover, for the most part, citizens who received the opportunity to take advantage of financial support must necessarily belong to such categories of citizens as low-income or low-income families. Read what child benefits are paid to single mothers in 2018.

Benefits and preferential payments were provided only if certain conditions were met:

  • there is a disabled child in the family;
  • the family has many children;
  • One of the parents must be absent in the family.

This same year, in accordance with the legislative draft being developed, benefits will most likely no longer be provided on a categorical basis. It is likely that this process will soon be targeted. This suggests that now benefits and material benefits will be provided not to some specific categories of people, but to specific people who need support from the state.

Attention! If the bill comes into force, then citizens who actually need additional financial support must independently report their need to the relevant government authorities.

Moreover, this year the application form is written. Read an overview of what monthly and one-time payments are due at the birth of your first child here:.

As for the purposes of providing any benefit, based on the federal legislative draft, three main ones can be distinguished:

  1. Firstly, this is support for Russian citizens with incomes below the average.
  2. Secondly, the use of funds from the budget is targeted.
  3. Thirdly, increasing the income level of citizens.
  4. Fourthly, reducing the level of social inequality in the state.

Experts say that even if preferential payments do not significantly improve the family’s situation, they should still apply for all this. In any case, this is everyone's right.

Today, it is customary to include those categories of people who, at the local government level, per family member, receive an income less than that established by law, as low-income and low-income citizens.

If you follow the federal law number 134-FZ, clause 1, article 6, then low-income family It is customary to call families with an income for each family member lower than the minimum wage level in the region of residence.

You need to understand that the regional indicator of the minimum subsistence level in the region may differ from the one established at the state level. On a quarterly basis, the local government revises the minimum wage (the movement is moving towards an increase).

Another point is that it is necessary to clearly define the “boundaries” of the family. A family is a community of people who are related by blood, as well as those who run a common household and live together. These are usually classified as:

  • Spouses;
  • Mother, father and children (adopted, foster or natural);
  • Stepmother or stepfather with stepdaughters and stepsons;
  • Grandchildren with grandparents.

As for the specific criteria that such families must meet, they are as follows:

  • First of all, families in which there is only one parent are considered to be in need.
  • Then they include those families in which there are pensioners or disabled people;
  • Another category of families falling under the low-income bill are families with more than three children, i.e. large families.
  • And of course, the main criterion is the level of total family income, which should not exceed the average minimum wage for the region per member.

Attention! Families in which one of the family members knowingly drinks alcohol or does not work, as well as those who have not managed to register their marriage through the registry office, are not entitled to receive support from the state for these indicators.

What benefits and payments are provided?

Today, families classified as low-income can count on receiving the following benefits and benefits:

  • Monthly targeted allowance for food or medicine;
  • Providing housing, the so-called social mortgage;
  • Providing benefits and discounts for housing and communal services;
  • No tax deduction for benefits;
  • Maternity capital (regional).

Monthly benefits

So, for example, in Sevastopol, the payment for a child under the age of three years living in a low-income family with many children is equal to 5,781 rubles. But in the Leningrad region the same payment is equal to 7614.2 rubles. To receive benefits, you will need to submit an application and provide all documents. Full list You can find out from a social security official.

Maternity capital for the poor

Also, low-income large families have every right to receive regional family capital.

What documents are needed?

You can receive financial support from the state if you submit the following package of documents:

  • Statement;
  • Photocopies of spouses' identity cards;
  • Certificate of family income;
  • Certificate of marriage registration from the registry office;
  • Information about family composition;
  • Certificate of birth of all children;
  • Confirmation of registration in the region.

Where to go and what to do?

To apply for this or that benefit, families must contact the local social security office or, in some specific cases, the branches of the state Pension Fund. Familiarize yourself with the information about what child benefits and payments are provided for individual entrepreneurs.

To be able to receive benefits and preferential payments, you will need to initially submit an application, and then collect all Required documents. Then, upon provision of an invoice, money will begin to be transferred depending on the frequency established by self-government bodies.

See more details about social payments to low-income and large families in the video:

In any case, experts are confident that one should not refuse financial support, especially if it can be provided. This will open up new horizons for children and help them achieve more.

This category of families includes those in which each person has an income less than the subsistence level in the region of residence. Considering that this coefficient is set for a quarter, the status of the poor will have to be confirmed in accordance with this period, as there may be cancellation of benefits.

At the same time, the important fact is that citizens found themselves in such a difficult financial situation through no fault of their own. This means that families where parents, being fully able to work, do not work, for example, due to alcoholism, are not considered low-income. Low-income family receives this status by decision of local government bodies.
