The Social Fund has approved the payment of a unified benefit for more than 200,000 children in the Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Additionally, over 3,800 pregnant women residing in the new Russian regions are receiving funds.
Since the beginning of the year, residents of the four new constituent entities of Russia have received more than one million services from the Social Fund. Most payments and support measures under Russian legislation began to be processed in the new regions starting in March, while certain services were available from the beginning of the year.
The Social Fund has transferred the first monthly cash payments (MCP) to residents of the new constituent entities, issued in accordance with Russian legislation. In the first weeks following the entry into force of laws integrating the new regions into the Russian social security system, payments were assigned to nearly 12,000 citizens from the newly incorporated territories.
Parents in the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, will be able to receive maternity capital for children born since 2007. Families can apply for maternity capital funds following the rules that were in effect at the time of their child's birth.
The President of Russia has signed the laws on the pension benefits, social insurance and social support measures for the citizens living in the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. The laws establishing the transition period in the social sector in the new regions of Russia will come into force on March 1, 2023.
All children's payments from the Social Fund come to parents in the bank account on the same day - every third day of the new month for the previous one.
Last year, 1.2 million families received a one-time allowance for the birth of a child. The total amount of material support sent to parents exceeded 25 billion rubles. The payment, the amount of which since February last year has been 20.47 thousand rubles, was provided to mom or dad for each child who appeared in the family.
From 2023, residents of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions can receive services at the offices of the Social Fund of Russia at the place of actual residence. If you have the appropriate registration, you can apply for maternity capital, a single allowance and other measures of social support.
103 services of the Social Fund of Russia (SFR) work on the public services portal. They cover almost all areas of the fund's activities, including pensions, sick leave, social benefits and child benefits.
