Let's find out the answers to frequently asked questions on this topic: how to obtain the status of a large family, what documents need to be drawn up, what benefits citizens falling into this category of the population can count on in 2016.

Large family status: how to get (as of 2016)?

A family with many children is one in which at least three minor children are raised. To obtain the status of this category of the population, an appropriate decision must be made by regional authorities. To assign this status, they rely on several factors.

1. The number of children raised in a family, taking into account the demographic characteristics of a particular region. There are always exceptions; in some republics of Russia (for example, in Mari El), population fertility statistics show that three children in one family is commonplace, so they will be considered to have many children only after the birth (appearance in a family under guardianship, adoption) of a fourth minor child.
2. Children's age. Only children under 18 years of age can be included in the number of children raised in a large family. However, if he receives a secondary (special, higher) education and it is a proven fact that the adult child does not bring income to the family, parents can claim some benefits.
3. Income level. If the level of income in a family is insufficient, regardless of the number of children being raised in it, regional authorities may decide to assign the status “Low Income”. This category of citizens is also entitled to benefits.

When a family is assigned the status “Large Children” by the SZN (Social Protection of the Population) Department at the place of residence, a corresponding certificate is issued. To receive it, you must bring the relevant documents (children’s birth certificates, parents’ passports, application).

The amount of assistance that can be received by large families is calculated based on the capabilities of the regional budget, planned for the year in advance.
