As practice shows, few families know that they belong to the category of low-income people. And even more so, they have no idea what benefits and government support they can count on. Today we will try to bridge this gap and fully illuminate the issue.
Our state provides significant support to those families who find themselves in difficult situation. If you are low-income, you can fully count on it, but first you need to confirm your status. But how to do this correctly and without going to the social security authorities several times?
Each region of our country has a certain minimum living wage. It varies within certain limits for different subjects of the Russian Federation, but always has an exact expression.
For example, in the Moscow region this value is slightly more than 10,000 rubles.
Determining whether your family can be considered low-income is very easy. Take your total family income for one calendar month and divide it by the number of members in your social unit. If the number is less than the subsistence level established in the region, the family is considered low-income.
But just counting is not enough. Now you need to contact the social security authorities with an application for recognition of your status. In order for everything to go well, you will need documentary evidence of all income. As a rule, these are Form 2-NDFL certificates from places of work, or a certificate of registration as a non-working citizen. If you are babysitting, there must also be a document confirming this fact.
Now there's another one important point. It is necessary to have an accurate understanding of what a family is in general.
In our state, this concept includes the following groups of people living together:
Adopted children always have equal rights to their relatives. And one more thing important condition: The marriage must be registered. Otherwise, the family will not be recognized as such.
Concepts are often confused. Large families are automatically equated with low-income families, but in practice this is not the case. Of course, where parents have many children, the average per capita income is often lower living wage, but not always. If this condition is not met, then even those families with more than three minor members are not recognized as poor.
It also happens the other way around. There are sections of society in which, due to life circumstances, even two adults, without children, do not earn the required amount. Then they are recognized as low-income.
Only after official confirmation of status low-income family you can count on government support. To do this, it is important to conclude an appropriate agreement with the social security authorities.
So, if, based on income level, your family can qualify for low-income status, this must be formalized by law.
You will need to collect a certain package of documents:
All documents have been collected. Where should you start with your design? Contact the regional social security department and write a statement providing all necessary documents. One point should be taken into account: all capable family members must be employed. If someone is not working, he is required to provide a certificate from the Employment Center. And from women who care for a young child - confirmation of this circumstance.
All documents must be submitted directly to the social security officer. If any questions arise during the process or something is unclear, ask. In this matter, it is better to clarify everything and find out right away, so that there are no problems later.
Now we have reached the very important issue. What compensation to low-income families are entitled to from our state in 2019? Although the list is impressive, different regions it may vary. The fact is that all benefits and payments are not only federal, but also regional in nature. Therefore, it is advisable to clarify the exact list directly in your constituent entity of the Russian Federation.
We will list only those that are possible throughout the country:
The remaining cash payments concern children living in low-income families. We will talk about them a little below.
In addition to monetary compensation, such families are entitled to certain benefits.
Moreover, you can count on them in any region of the Russian Federation:
In some regions, local benefits are added to these benefits; their availability must be checked with your social security department at your place of registration.
Basically, cash payments provided to low-income families concern children. The amount varies in different regions, so it is impossible to give its exact value. But the largest allowance can be received for a child aged from one and a half to three years. If there is only one parent in the family, then the amount will increase.
In many constituent entities of the Russian Federation, special targeted payments are expected. For example, dedicated to the new academic year (for the purchase of necessary literature and stationery), promoting nutritious nutrition and treatment of pregnant and lactating women, etc. Students living in such families receive a social scholarship from the state. This applies to both those who study at universities and students of colleges and technical schools.
Our state is trying to provide maximum support to the most vulnerable citizens - young children. It is for them that most of the additional payments and compensation. So, what can a low-income family with children expect?
Cash payments:
In addition to monetary benefits, children from low-income families Others are also provided:
All benefits listed are not lifetime, and in some circumstances, they are canceled. Below we will look at which ones.
If you have received the status of a low-income family, be prepared to confirm it with documents every six months. To do this, you will have to bring proof of income for the last 3 months. If you do not do this, all accruals will be automatically suspended.
There are other options for ending support. If one of the spouses (or both) received more than high paying job, you need to notify the social security department about this. Your income will be recalculated again and, provided that you contribute to the subsistence level, your status will be removed. The same can be said about the situation when a woman returned to work after maternity leave.
The government is trying to support families who find themselves in difficult financial situations. Help is provided not only through payments, but also through the establishment of special benefits.
And if suddenly your family is in a difficult situation, it makes sense to apply to the social security authorities at your place of registration and improve your situation.
Allowance for low-income families: example of calculating family income + 10 due payments +10 necessary papers+non-monetary forms of support.
Not every family in Russian Federation looks confidently into the future. The reason for this is low income, or even unemployment, poor living conditions, inability to pay for children’s education, etc.
In order to provide support for such people, various benefits for the poor have been approved at the state and local level.
Don't miss the opportunity to get additional funds for your family.
But let's first define who can be called poor.
Those families whose income is less than the subsistence level per person are considered low-income and eligible for benefits, but the following nuances must be taken into account:
Here, for example, is data on the size of the PM for the 2nd quarter of 2017 for the largest regions of the Russian Federation:
City | Working population | Pensioners | Children |
---|---|---|---|
Moscow (data for 1st quarter) | RUB 17,642 | RUB 10,695 | RUB 13,441 |
Saint Petersburg | RUB 11,830.3 | RUB 8,591.6 | RUB 10,367.9 |
Ufa | RUB 9,498 | RUR 7,297 | RUB 8,892 |
Novosibirsk | RUB 11,854 | 8 9500 rub. | RUB 11,545 |
Nizhny Novgorod | RUB 10,033 | RUB 7,722 | RUB 9,612 |
CALCULATION EXAMPLE. Let’s say the Vorontsov family consists of 4 people - two employed adults (husband and wife), a retired grandmother and a 10-year-old child.
The husband received 20 thousand rubles. salaries in April, 22 thousand rubles in May and 18 thousand rubles in June. Total - 60 thousand rubles.
At her job, my wife received 27 thousand rubles in April, 20 thousand rubles in May, and 19 thousand in June. Total – 66 thousand rubles.
During these same months, my grandmother received 8 thousand rubles. pensions, that is, for a total of 3 months: 8 * 3 = 24 thousand rubles.
The child, naturally, did not earn anything during this time. The family had no other income.
First, we calculate the total amount of family income for three months: 60+66+24 =150 thousand rubles. Then for 1 month - 150/3 = 50 thousand rubles.
Since there are 4 family members, then each one receives 50/4 = 12.5 thousand rubles. per month.
The Vorontsovs live in the Altai Territory, where the monthly subsistence minimum per resident is, for example, 17 thousand rubles per month. As we can see, their incomes are lower. This means that they can qualify for all types of assistance provided for low-income people.
Important ! Families who find themselves without money for reasons beyond their control are recognized as poor. That is, no one will allow you to live on social benefits, if you do nothing to earn money yourself or, even worse, drink or use drugs.
You will also be denied benefits if you submitted papers with false information.
So, have you recalculated your monthly income per family member ten times and come to the conclusion that you can safely classify yourself as low-income?
Then, to receive all benefits for the poor, go to your local social security office with the following documents:
No later than 10 days after submitting these documents, local social security workers must decide to give you low-income status and issue an appropriate certificate.
It must be remembered that if a pregnant woman goes on maternity leave from work (official), then the employer is obliged to make monthly payments. The amount depends on the salary expectant mother before going on maternity leave and the minimum cost of living in the region.
The authorities help low-income people not only in the form of cash benefits, but also a number of benefits for children and adults:
In addition to benefits, a child from a low-income family can enter a state university without competition if he:
Child benefits for low-income families.
Who are they supposed to rely on? social benefits? Purposes of provision
state aid.
And these are only federal forms of support for the poor. Each district approves its own additional ways support families who are in difficult financial situations.
So you should check with your local social security office for the latest information on benefits for low-income families in your area. Don’t be shy to ask the experts any questions you have.
Today, many families live in Russia intermediate level whose income is less than that fixed at the state level and recently equated to the minimum wage. Such families are recognized as low-income and are entitled to financial assistance from the state, in accordance with current legislation.
In order to the family was recognized as poor You should contact the social protection authorities located at your place of residence. On this type payments can be claimed both in full and single-parent families. It should be taken into account that each Russian region has its own level of living wage. For this reason, in different regions, families whose income levels differ from each other may be classified as low-income families.
For example, in Moscow, according to Moscow Government Decree No. 1465-PP dated December 4, 2018, the cost of living for working population equals 18,580 rubles for 2019 (per capita - 16,260 rubles; for pensioners - 11,505 rubles; for children - 13,938 rubles) and if for each family member the amount is less than the agreed amount, then you can contact the social care authorities to obtain the status of a low-income family.
Family income, along with wages, includes all available social payments. Since the level of the cost of living is recalculated at least once a quarter: it is necessary to provide confirmation of the income level of the entire family once every three months.
When a family is recognized as low-income, it has the right to apply for subsidies and related benefits. Strictly speaking, the state provides such a benefit - compensation for the difference between existing utility costs and the standard cost of housing and communal services for each family member. Standards are set individually in each region, so the amount of compensation payments will vary. If you turn to current legislation, That maximum size utility bills should not be higher than 22% of family income. In the case where the level of payments on bills is higher, then in this case the family recognized as low-income receives housing subsidies.
The amount of cash payments (benefits) to low-income families with children also depends on the region of residence. Cash payment(benefits), issued once a month in Moscow, is: children whose age ranges from 0 to 1.5 years are entitled to the minimum wage (13,938 rubles per month at the beginning of 2019).
A low-income family has the right to apply for payment of financial benefits once a year if it takes care of writing an application to local authorities social services. In various regions, along with this payment, you can apply for other types of social assistance:

In order to support citizens in need, the state provides benefits and allowances, for which a person must confirm his low-income status. This is a type of payment that is not distributed by category (disabled children, single-parent or large families), but is awarded to those people who really experience financial difficulties and need government support.

This is an additional type of social support that families who have confirmed the fact of having many children can apply for. For most regions, the condition of having three children (natural and adopted) is a sufficient basis for obtaining the appropriate status.
Also, the family must confirm its need, establish that the level of average profitability for each participant is below the minimum subsistence level established in the region.
