Is sick leave paid for maternity leave for the unemployed?

Unemployed citizens dismissed from work have the right to join the labor exchange and receive unemployment benefit, representing a certain percentage of the salary. According to current standards, sick leave extends this period by the number of days indicated on the certificate of incapacity for work (but this period for 1.5 years cannot exceed 12 months).

For unemployed pregnant women There are special conditions in this regard. They should issue a certificate of incapacity for work for several reasons:

Pregnant all holidays are paid according to the BiR lasting 140, 156, 194 days. True, in a rather small size. In 2019, a non-working woman is entitled to RUB 655.49 for every month maternity leave, but this amount is indexed annually (in 2019 - from February 1).
A woman cannot be deregistered as unemployed during maternity leave.
For the period of leave under BiR for a woman unemployment benefit payment extended:
- that is, the benefit itself is not accrued, but it will be paid after the end of maternity leave (if 18 months have not passed since registration with the employment service);
- If after maternity leave a woman wants to apply for child care benefits, the payment of unemployment benefits to her will be suspended for the period of its payment.

Attention

These conditions apply only if no more than 12 months have passed from the moment of dismissal until the woman is declared unemployed and until the day she goes on maternity leave, and the dismissal is related to the liquidation of the enterprise.

In all other cases (dismissal at will, lack of work before registration with the employment service, break in work for more than a year) maternity benefits for women not paid.

As officials note, the new rules will help increase the mobility of young families in Russia. Experts have repeatedly made statements that it is necessary to make adjustments to the current legislation that affects families with children.

Conclusion

Comprehensive financing from budgets of all levels.
Protecting the interests of mother and child.
Initiatives on the part of the right holder of payments: to receive money you will need a personal statement.
Mutual responsibility of the state and recipients of benefits. The authorities undertake to provide assistance in full, and the family undertakes to provide real information about their situation and changes that entail the loss of rights to payments.

In 2018, the state offers various support to expectant mothers and families with children. Women who work officially can certainly rely on state assistance and count on child benefits, as well as receive maternity benefits, benefits, etc., largely at the expense of the organizations where they work.

Sometimes expectant mothers do not have official work or are considered unemployed. In this case, payments to the Social Insurance Fund are not made by the employer, which means that non-working people cannot receive the same assistance in full size per child, . But the state foresaw this situation. Payments to unemployed mothers come from a fund aimed at social assistance to the population. However, on a much smaller scale.

Peculiarities of receiving benefits while being registered with the Central Employment Center

If a woman becomes pregnant while registered at the labor exchange or before registration, she receives temporary unemployment payments every month. The right to benefits is limited to the start date of parental leave. At this time, upon presentation, the woman does not have the right to receive payments from the central bank. Payments are restored after the mother returns from maternity leave. During the vacation period, you do not need to report to the central control center every month.

Amount assigned for unemployment payment until the 30th week of pregnancy:

75% of salary for 3 months;
60% of salary for 4 months;
45% of salary in subsequent months.

Required documents

Statement;
Birth certificate;
Employment history;
Certificate stating that there are no unemployment payments;
Documents from the university (if necessary);
Passport;
Other documents.

If a woman did not work before pregnancy, then, accordingly, she has no right to take leave to look after her children. Other family members also cannot claim leave or benefits from their place of work.

Child benefits accrued upon liquidation of an organization

The law states that child benefits for those persons who are subject to insurance in connection with loss of disability (related to maternity or pregnancy) are entitled to payments at the place of work. However, what to do if at the moment when a woman needs to receive maternity benefits, the organization is liquidated, and now it is considered bankrupt?

For these purposes, the country's Ministry of Labor issued Regulation No. 653 of 2014, which states that if an employer cannot fulfill its obligations to a subordinate, then the Social Insurance Fund department under which the employer is registered assumes this mission.

In order to receive payments from the company, a woman needs to provide the following documents to the Social Insurance Fund:

A statement written in order for payments to be made.
A certificate taken from the place of work about the latest accruals. If it is impossible to obtain such a certificate, then the woman needs to write a request giving the right to provide information about the latest accruals.
Additionally, you will need to provide a court decision, which will state that the woman did not really receive any child benefits due to the liquidation of the organization.
You will need to bring a birth document for the child, as well as certificates for other children, if any.
You will need to get a certificate from social security stating that the second parent did not receive child benefits for the child.

In order to receive payments from the Social Insurance Fund, you can submit documents not only during a personal visit to the organization, but also electronically. You can do this using:

Website of the MFC in your region.

Additional regional payments

The list already listed above can be additionally supplemented by regional and federal payments, which may be different in each individual region of the country.

According to the regulations of the Russian Federation, certain types of social support are established separately in the constituent entities of the federation. However, due to the fact that the regional budgets are relatively small, many expenses have already been significantly reduced.

In addition to federal payments, there are also regional payments established by local authorities. In different regions, they may differ not only in the amount, but also in the terms of receipt. This mainly depends on how developed the region is and what the local budget is capable of.

But the procedure for applying for benefits at the birth of a child will be the same everywhere, and therefore, to apply for it, you need to contact the MFC or USZN, where after a ten-day review you will be credited with one-time payments.

In order to receive the governor's allowance paid for the birth of a child, you must provide the following documents:

An application filled out in your own hand indicating the most convenient way for you to receive funds.
A copy of the document for the child.
A copy of the parent’s passport, which will indicate the presence of registration at the place of residence.
If you decide to receive funds non-cash, you will need to provide a savings book or other document that would confirm the opening of an account.

By the way, both the conditions and amounts of various regional benefits may differ slightly, both in terms of established sizes and types, and therefore they need to be clarified at the MFC at the place of residence.

Our country has determined a list of benefits that a woman can receive when going on maternity leave, as well as after giving birth to a baby. In some cases, individual regions also provide financial support to families, but whether there are additional cash payments in your region or not can only be found out at the social welfare departments. You can also apply there for complete information regarding the list of all benefits and payments.

A woman who has given birth to a child has the right to receive:

Maternity benefit. It is provided at a time. This is the so-called payment for sick leave, which is issued to a woman in the third trimester of pregnancy at the moment when she goes on maternity leave.
Child care allowance up to one and a half years old. It is paid to the woman monthly. In order to start receiving it, you need to come to your place of work and write a corresponding application. Well, and, of course, provide all the missing but necessary documents.
Benefit for the birth of a child. The payment occurs once and only to one of the parents. That is why the other parent is required to provide a document confirming the fact that such benefits were not paid at his workplace. Every year the payment amount changes and is indexed in accordance with inflation.
Additional payment. This payment is not carried out in all regions of our country, since it is not provided for in the budget everywhere. To find out for sure whether it is available or not, you need to contact the social protection center or call there by phone hotline. There they will provide accurate information and list the documents that are necessary to apply for benefits.

This is the list of benefits that every woman can receive. True, in some regions there are additional support measures for those families that have the status of “poor”.

Benefits for non-working women

Very often, those women who do not work ask one question whether they are entitled to any benefits during pregnancy and after the birth of the baby. Since 2007, the situation has improved in this regard, and now women who are not officially registered anywhere, that is, do not formally work, have the right to receive benefits such as: At the birth of a baby, which is a one-time payment for caring for a child whose age up to one and a half years, in principle, that’s all. The list, of course, is much smaller than that of those women who are registered somewhere officially. But also, in each region there are separate support measures for those families who have a difficult financial situation. To clarify such payments, you need to contact the social protection departments.

Previously, before 2007, women who did not work anywhere did not even receive monthly allowance caring for a child less than one and a half years old.

Benefits for non-working stay-at-home mothers in 2017

If you never worked before pregnancy, if you quit before pregnancy, if you were fired while pregnant due to the liquidation of the enterprise, we will consider you a stay-at-home mother, and everything that is written in this article is for you. In our country, motherhood is protected and encouraged, including financially. Non-working mothers also have the right to count on several types of benefits.

Here is a list of these benefits and their amounts in 2017:

One-time benefit for the birth of a child – 16,350.33 rubles.
Monthly allowance for child care up to one and a half years old. Housewives receive 3,065.69 rubles per month for the first child, for the second, third, etc. – 6131.37 rubles. For twins and the same age, benefits are summed up.
Monthly child benefit. In each region, the amount of this benefit and the conditions for issuance may be different. Housewives are not entitled to maternity benefits (paid leave of 140 days), because housewives do not go on sick leave. And housewives who register before the 12th week of pregnancy are also not entitled to a one-time benefit. All benefits can be obtained from the social security authorities at your place of residence.

Where can I get benefits in 2018?

As in 2017 and in previous years, benefits for the birth of a child in 2018 can be received in two ways: At the place of official work of the mother or father; In the social protection authorities. In order for the benefit to be accrued, less than six months must pass from the date of birth of the child to the date of registration of cash assistance. In other words, the certificate that will be given to you at the maternity hospital will only be valid for six months.

Why is this being done? Probably so that you don't forget to checkmate. assistance on time to have statistics of requests and maintain correct accounting. You can contact the social security authorities only if you did not officially work anywhere before the birth of your child. That is, you have no right to choose. The amount of the payment for the birth of a child in 2018 will not depend on any official salary of the parents, as it did not depend before, and the source of cash receipts in this case will not be the employer, but directly the state.

Unemployed pregnant woman and the employment center (labour exchange)

If a woman quits her job for any reason, she will be able to register with the employment service (register as unemployed) and receive unemployment benefits (in 2017, the minimum amount of unemployment benefits is 850 rubles, the maximum is 4900 rubles) until maternity leave. However, women registered with the employment service are not entitled to maternity benefits and the employment center does not pay benefits.

Unemployment benefits are not paid during maternity leave, so the woman provides the certificate of incapacity for work received at 30 weeks to the employment center. During the time specified in the certificate of incapacity for work, the center specialist does not schedule visits to the employment service.

If, at the end of this leave, the woman is ready to look for work and start it, then the payment of unemployment benefits will resume (if the payment period has not expired); if she is not ready, then payments will be suspended for the period of maternity leave. The period of pregnancy and the period of maternity leave are not grounds for deregistration as unemployed.

One-time benefit for women registered in the early stages of pregnancy

Since the allowance for registration in early dates pregnancy (up to 12 weeks) is assigned in addition to the maternity benefit and is paid at the place of assignment and payment of the maternity benefit, then unemployed pregnant women are not entitled to receive this type of benefit.

Again, the only exceptions are women dismissed due to the liquidation of the organization and full-time students.

In addition to federal payments, Moscow provides a one-time payment for registration with medical institutions (up to 20 weeks). This benefit is assigned to a woman (registered at her place of residence in Moscow) in the RUSZN, regardless of the fact of work, study or service, upon presentation of a certificate of the established form (Letter of the Moscow Department of Health dated November 8, 2006 N 33-18-3165).

Receiving a lump sum benefit upon the birth of a child

One of the parents has the right to receive a lump sum benefit upon the birth of a child. In the event of the birth of two or more children, a lump sum benefit is assigned and paid for each child.

The answer to the question of where to receive this benefit depends on the husband of a non-working woman:

if one of the parents works and the other does not work, a lump sum benefit for the birth of a child is assigned and paid at the parent’s place of work. Therefore, if the child’s father works, then only he will be able to receive a lump sum benefit at his place of work;
if both parents do not work or are studying full-time in educational institutions primary, secondary and higher vocational education and institutions of postgraduate vocational education, a one-time benefit at the birth of a child is assigned and paid by the social protection authority at the place of residence (place of stay, place of actual residence) of one of the parents.

A non-working single mother receives a one-time benefit from the social welfare authorities at her place of residence. If the stay-at-home mom is a student full-time department educational institution, then the payment of benefits is carried out by the social protection authorities (paragraph 2 of clause 27 of the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated December 23, 2009 No. 1012n). Previously, she had to contact her educational institution to receive benefits for the birth of a child.

Payment of benefits is carried out by social protection authorities through federal postal organizations or credit organizations indicated by the recipients of benefits no later than the 26th day of the month following the month of receipt (registration) of the application.

Can a husband get money for a newborn?

The father of a newborn has the right to receive maternity leave after the birth of his daughter or son. This payment is a one-time payment and is provided for each case when a baby appears in the family. Any parent can apply for it; to do this, a package of documents must be completed at the workplace. If the husband decides to apply for the benefit for himself, then documents from the mother’s place of work will be required, which will confirm that she has not yet exercised this right to receive the payment. Size financial assistance depends on the number of newborns in the family, and will also increase with each subsequent birth.

Part of the amount of maternity leave depends on the region where the husband and wife live. You can find out more about the amount and conditions under which you can receive money in your area from the social protection authorities at the place of residence of the child’s parents. Every year, the country's authorities review the amount of payments and, if necessary, indexation takes place taking into account inflation, increases in prices for services and goods, and also depends on the budget indicators of the country and each individual region.

If the child died

We are not living in the 19th century, and infant mortality does not reach such high figures as in past centuries. But, nevertheless, such grief sometimes happens today. By law, a newborn is considered a child and is subject to legal registration if it lives for more than seven days. In this case, the parents have the right to receive a birth certificate, a death certificate, a lump sum allowance and all required payments if the child has lived until the time when the parents became entitled to them (applies to child care payments). Payment of child care benefits ceases from the month following the sad event.

In addition, we must not forget that parents have the right to 3 days of paid leave for the death of their children. The death of a child does not affect the amount of maternity payments (on sick leave). Let's not talk about sad things, although it is useful to know about this, even for general information. The state cares about families and annually reforms the system of support for parents, children and families. Let’s hope: in addition to what was provided to families with children in 2017, in 2018 there will be some new forms of financial assistance to people. Know your rights and use them as provided for by the laws of the Russian Federation.

Having a child always requires material costs.

The state took care of working women preparing to become mothers. They are protected socially and can receive maternity leave even before the birth.

But what about unemployed expectant mothers? Do unemployed people pay maternity leave?

The procedure for paying various maternity benefits is regulated by Federal Law No. 255 of December 29, 2006.

In accordance with Art. 2 The following have the right to maternity benefits:

As you can see, nothing is stipulated in the law about non-working mothers. Consequently, these categories of persons are not provided with maternity leave.

This is explained by the fact that the so-called maternity payments are characterized as compensation for earnings that the expectant mother does not receive due to maternity leave. But a non-working woman does not have such income.

The exceptions are:

Expectant mothers who were forced to quit due to the liquidation of their employer.
Unemployed female students of inpatient departments of educational institutions. They receive a stipend benefit regardless of whether they pay for their education or not.

Thus, maternity benefits are not provided to non-working mothers. However, the state has provided other benefits for non-working mothers.

Regardless of employment, every pregnant citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to social payments. She is entitled different kinds benefits for childbirth and child care.

The legislation provides for several forms of support for families. Moreover, if previously child care benefits were not paid to unemployed mothers, today absolutely all categories of mothers can count on social payments.

After the birth of a child, parents have the right to receive 2 types of benefits, which are paid on different conditions:

child care allowance for up to one and a half years;
regional child benefit.

Regional benefits are assigned and paid in all regions of Russia according to different rules and in different sizes.

There are several types of social support:

The one-time payment for the birth of a baby in 2019 is 16,350.33 rubles.
Monthly support for the first child up to one and a half years old is 3065.69 rubles. For the birth of a second child, the allowance is 6,131.37 rubles monthly.

At the birth of a baby, a previously unemployed mother will be offered a choice of 2 options for receiving financial payments:

Further transfers of unemployment money
Replacing unemployment payments with child care benefits.

Important! From 01.01. In 2010, a rule was introduced stating that in order to receive a monthly allowance for child care up to 1.5 years old and regional payments, a non-working mother must be registered in the same place as the child.

The law of the Russian Federation allows low-income families, where a woman works informally or does not work at all, receive food for the baby from the dairy kitchen at the birth of a child until the child reaches 2 years of age.

If there is no dairy kitchen near the family’s place of residence, the social security service is obliged to assign regular payments to the family in the form of monetary compensation equal to the cost of food. The amount of such compensation is set at the regional level.

Needy families who are below the poverty line and whose parents are not employed are entitled to payments for the maintenance and upbringing of minor children.

The size of these payments depends on the number of children. Such support is provided if the income received for each family member does not reach the official subsistence level.

In addition, the amount of state support depends on the region of residence of the family and, as a rule, is about 300 rubles per month for each child. Thus, a mother with two children will additionally receive about 600 rubles per month.

Payments also apply to adult children who study in vocational, higher or secondary technical educational institutions. Mothers make monthly payments for them until the child completes his studies.

If a family has an unemployed mother and an employed father, then only the mother has the right to claim benefits for caring for a newborn.

This benefit is intended only for the family member caring for the child. By default, these duties are assumed to be performed by a non-working family member.

If the mother is not working, the working father is also not entitled to leave to care for the baby.

Unemployed pregnant women often ask the question: “Will I be able to get maternity benefits if I get pregnant and don’t work?”

The answer will be: “In this case, payments are due, but not all and in a smaller amount than for employed citizens.”

According to the law, non-working women are not entitled to maternity leave (with the exception of those women who were fired during the liquidation of an enterprise and students).

Unemployed expectant mothers are only entitled to receive child benefits, which are accrued after the birth of the child.

To obtain maternity benefits, a non-working mother must contact the social security authorities at her place of registration. She needs to prepare a package of documents confirming her right to use government assistance.

Here's what you need for this:

After 10 days from the date of submission of the application and documents, employees of the social protection department must decide whether to accrue benefits to the pregnant woman.

To obtain financial support from the state for a newborn unemployed woman You should also contact the social security service and provide the following set of documents:

Making payments and accruing state support to pregnant women and mothers is strictly regulated by law.

The Social Security Service considers awarding the woman payments and benefits within 10 days after accepting the application and accompanying documents.

If the woman’s application is satisfied, transfers will be made every month no later than the 26th. Money can be transferred by mail or transferred to a bank account.

Of course, the amount of payments to unemployed pregnant women and mothers with children is very small.

However, this assistance is sometimes the only financial protection for stay-at-home mothers.
