At the birth of a second child, the payments are the same. If two or more children are born at the same time, this amount is paid for each.
It turns out at the work of the husband or wife, if one or both of them work. If both do not work or one individual entrepreneur and the other does not work, single parents who do not work, etc. - in the social security department.

Issued when registering a child at the registry office in exchange for a certificate from the maternity hospital. A certificate from the other parent’s place of work stating that benefits were not provided if both parents work. If one of the parents works and the other does not, a lump sum benefit for the birth of a child is assigned and paid to the one who works. In this case, the same certificate is required from the social protection authority at the child’s place of residence.
One-time payment at the birth of a child for unemployed people and students:
If both parents do not work or are studying full-time, a lump sum benefit at the birth of a child is assigned and paid by the social security authority at the place of residence of one of the parents. In this case, you will need extracts from the work book about your last place of work.
Monthly payments after the birth of a child in 2016:
equal to the amount of 2908.62 rubles for the first child, and 5817 rubles for the second and subsequent children. When submitting documents, they ask where you want it to be transferred. You can receive it monthly by mail, on a savings book (in this case, bring it to make a photocopy) or on a children's card. Employees receive 40% of their salary, but not less than the amounts indicated above. That is: if you leave work on parental leave, you receive 40% of your salary, no less than the amounts indicated above, but no more than 21,554 rubles! If you were unemployed, then 2908, etc. (Maximum amount 11643 for military personnel).
If you work and count on your 40%, then this is a very detailed article for you on how to calculate your monthly allowance. I advise you to double-check your accountants, because they make mistakes quite often. How to calculate the amount of child care benefits up to 1.5 years old!
Few people know that not only the mother, but also the father can take parental leave! That is, then you will receive 40% of his salary. And yes - in our country this is possible) I personally sent my husband on official paid parental leave with all payments) Since at that moment I was an individual entrepreneur with no income, and he was at work with a good official salary, from this job he was just about to be fired. Thus, the payments received were several times higher than if they were paid to me as an unemployed person or as an individual entrepreneur, and his work book was there for another year and a half. The law is on your side and not a single accountant will tell you anything) To assign him a benefit from his work, I took a certificate for myself (I don’t remember where) that I, as an individual entrepreneur, did not pay this benefit to myself and did not assign it), the rest standard documents.
Documents for applying for child care benefits up to 1.5 years:
Application for granting benefits, certificate of birth of a child, work record book, marriage certificate, passport, form 9. In addition, you need to provide a certificate confirming that the second parent no longer receives benefits for this child, if the mother worked before giving birth - a copy of the order that the employer has provided parental leave. If the benefit is issued on the occasion of a second or subsequent child, you must also provide a birth certificate for the previous children.
Payment for registration in the early stages of pregnancy in 2016: 581.73 rubles
Assigned if you officially worked.
What documents are required to apply for benefits for registration in the early stages of pregnancy?
The main one is a certificate from the antenatal clinic about early registration, since this payment is applied for at work along with the childbirth allowance, the rest of the documents will be collected anyway. Those who are not working do not receive this payment.
Preschool card
In St. Petersburg, mothers are given a children's card (One-time compensation payment for the birth of a child in St. Petersburg) - a gift for children's things. Please note that the card is given if one of the parents is registered in St. Petersburg and the child is registered with him. If the parents have registration, that is, in simple terms - registration - in another city or country, and the child has just been born in St. Petersburg, the card is not required. You can buy things with the card in children's stores in the city; usually there are additional discounts with it.
The amount of payment at the birth of a child in 2016 per card is 26,237 rubles at the birth of the first child, 34,984 rubles at the birth of the second child, and 43,729 rubles at the birth of the third and subsequent children. With this card you can buy children's goods in most large stores, and with good discounts (usually about 25%). They do it for about 1.5-2 months. The easiest way to get it is at the Multifunctional Center in your or any other area.
What documents are required to issue a child card?
At the MFC they took both birth certificates for my children, Form 9 from the passport office, a passport, a certificate from the antenatal clinic about early registration, an application for benefits, a marriage certificate, and SNILS. They made copies, took only the certificate from the housing complex and form 9. The application is filled out on the spot.
If you registered after 20 weeks, you will not be given a card.
You can apply for all benefits and payments before the child turns 1.5 years old and receive them within the last 6 months from the date of application. That is, if you remember in a year that you didn’t receive something, you will receive it in the last six months.
A low-income family (that is, one with an average per capita income below 1.5 times the subsistence minimum per capita) still has the opportunity to apply for benefits for low-income families in 2016. The official salary is taken into account. If each family member (husband, wife and children) receives less than 15,029 rubles, then you are also entitled to an allowance as a low-income person. Specifically: if only the husband works in the family and your official income for three (you and a child) is less than 45,087 rubles, then you can apply for benefits. And this is an additional 2,718 rubles per month for the same children’s card for the first child and 3,768 rubles for the second and subsequent children. It is issued there, in the multifunctional center. Appointed before the child’s next birthday, the next day after the baby’s birthday you can submit documents again.
What documents are required to apply for benefits for the poor?
My husband needs to take a free form certificate from work, no! 2NDFL about the official salary for the last 3 months. Your work record. Passports, birth certificate of the child (children), marriage certificate, form 9, husband’s passport, application for benefits. You can register at the Multifunctional Center.
If you do not work, but are not considered low-income, you will not receive any payments from St. Petersburg from the age of one and a half years, even if you were not provided with a place in kindergarten.
Low-income people can also apply for compensation for paying for an apartment; check with the MFC; they calculate it so that the rent does not exceed a certain percentage of income. A friend receives 3000 extra monthly)
Certificate for maternity capital
The good news is that you can now receive maternity capital if your second child is born no later than December 31, 2018.
It’s not very joyful that the amount of the certificate in 2016 was not indexed (In 2016, maternity capital is 453,026 rubles.
What documents are required to obtain a maternity capital certificate?
They asked me for two passports - mine and my husband's, photocopies on separate pages of the first page with a photo and registration, Birth Certificates of both children plus their photocopies, an application, SNILS - a green card. Exactly three weeks later, the Maternity Capital Certificate was ready. I picked it up in the morning and went to the notary (to draw up the Obligation) and immediately submitted it back to pay off the mortgage without any problems. No later than 2 months later, the state will transfer the money to the bank. Perhaps even 2 weeks earlier.
By the way!!! If your second child was born or adopted before January 1, 2016 and you have not yet spent your maternity capital, and also have not previously applied for such compensation, then you have the right to receive 20,000 rubles in cash until March 31, 2016! Hurry up)

The northern capital is one of the few where children's cards are issued to provide financial support to families with small children.
With this card, parents can purchase things their child needs: from furniture and toys to food. This is a significant help for low-income or large families.
All women can receive a nursery, subject to a number of conditions:
- give birth to a child or adopt a child under 1.5 years old;
- be permanently registered in the city on the Neva;
- register for pregnancy (3 weeks before birth, at a city medical institution);
- have a disability allowance, low family income, large families, as well as a certificate stating that the baby needs special nutrition.
Package of documents and design features
In order to receive a “Children’s” card, you will need to collect the following documents:
- passports of both parents,
- Marriage certificate,
- child's birth certificate,
- a document confirming that the child is registered with his parents or one of them (form 9),
- medical policy,
- a certificate from the antenatal clinic stating that the mother was registered while pregnant before the 20th week,
- a document confirming the need for financial assistance (large family or low-income family),
- birth certificate of other children (if any),
- a certificate confirming that the benefit was not issued to the other parent.
If a child needs special nutrition, then a corresponding certificate will need to be added to the general list.
For the military, the list is added:
- certificate of service life,
- certificate of education (if it is military).
An incomplete family has its own nuances. There must be a document confirming the absence of one of the parents, this could be:
- death certificate,
- document on deprivation of parental rights,
- a certificate from the registry office stating that the child was registered in the certificate according to the mother’s words (form 25).
Stages of registration:
- Collection of documents. The package of documents described above is standard, it may change from year to year (something can be added or removed). Before collecting documents, it is better to check with the social security authorities.
- Submission of a package of documents to the appropriate structure (social protection or MFC). This can be done as follows:
- Give in person at the institutions at the place of registration (social security or MFC).
- Send by registered mail the entire package of documents certified by a notary.
- Send electronically on the State Services portal. To do this, you must first register on an online resource, then scan all documents, fill out an application (directly on the website) and send an electronic package. Afterwards you will need to present paper originals, which will be reported in advance.
- Receiving a card. After the application has been reviewed and the card has been produced, parents are notified of the result. You will need to pick up the card at the institution where the documents were submitted.
Dates of issue and validity of a children's card
The issuance period from submitting documents to receiving a plastic card in your hands is approximately 1.5 months (no more). The card is issued in three steps:
- All submitted documents are carefully analyzed to ensure the availability of all certificates and compliance with the provisions of the law on social benefits. If the documents pass the check, then the social service (or MFC) transfers the package of documents to the bank.
- Next, the bank produces a plastic card in the name of the applicant (no more than 1 month from the date of submission of documents).
- After this, the bank sends the completed card back to social security or to the MFC (to the authority where the application was submitted). Service employees inform parents that the card is ready (usually via SMS).
The total validity period of the “Children’s” card is no more than 1 year 9 months. Two periods can be distinguished:
- the first 1.5 years is the standard period when it is possible to use cash receipts from the card.
- 3 months after the end of the standard period, in case there is money left on the card. To do this, you need to contact the bank to extend the term of the card. If the balance is positive and after an additional 3 months, the money goes to the city budget.
7 basic questions about a child's card
What kind of benefit is paid to the card? How much is this in banknotes?
The card comes with two types of benefits:
- lump sum payment,
- monthly charges.
A one-time benefit is provided to everyone; it does not depend on family income and is a fixed amount. In 2017-2018 This:
- for the first child – 28,257 thousand rubles,
- for the second – 37,678 tr.,
- for the third (and subsequent children) - 47,096 tr.
If parents have two (or more) children at the same time, then the benefit is paid for each child.
The second type of accrual depends on the total income of the parents. According to the law, families can apply for monthly assistance:
- (those whose income per member is below 1.5 times the minimum standard of St. Petersburg),
- large families (three or more),
- incomplete (one of the parents is missing),
- families raising a disabled child (or one in need of special nutrition, or with HIV).
For 2017-2018 benefit up to 1.5 years is:
- for 1 child – 3,145 thousand rubles,
- for 2 (and subsequent) – 4,058 tr.,
For children in military or single-parent families:
- for 1 child – 3,552 tr.,
- for 2 (and subsequent) - 4,058 tr.
How to activate it?
Just like a regular debit or credit card: for each card there is an individual password that only the owner of the “plastic” knows. At the time of payment you just need to enter this password.
Is it possible to withdraw money from the card in cash?
The children's social card provides for non-cash payments only. It is not possible to transfer to other bank accounts, as well as to cash out funds.
But many parents solve this issue in this way: they buy goods from the card for another family, and receive cash from them.
The fact is that with the “Children’s” card, many stores offer a discount or bonus system for customers, and this can be beneficial when purchasing certain children’s items.
This method cannot be called illegal.
Can I put my money on the card?
Since the card is social and preferential (there are all kinds of discounts and bonuses), it cannot be topped up.
The only way to receive money, other than direct social payments, is a percentage from the bank (1.5%). It is calculated on the balance.
Where and for what can I use money from the card?
There are also a number of restrictions here. From the card you can:
- buy certain food products, medicines, hygiene products, etc. by bank transfer. The list of goods is approved in advance by the city administration;
- make purchases only in special stores that have passed the tender and are included in the list of stores also approved by the authorities.
The number of stores is constantly growing. Current information can be found on the website of Bank St. Petersburg.
How to find out your balance?
This can be done in one of four ways:
- use the Saint Petersburg Bank terminal: insert the card and follow the instructions;
- use your personal account as with a regular card;
- call 8-812-329-50-12, following the answering machine prompts;
- make the appropriate purchase and look at the receipt: it will indicate the funds remaining on the card.
What to do if you forgot your password or your card is lost?
First of all, don't panic. Secondly, call the bank and report a missing card or other problem, a specialist will tell you what exactly needs to be done.
The opportunity to buy goods necessary for a small child in specialized stores at discounts is a big plus for parents with little income. On the other hand, this is a certain control for disadvantaged families, since only children's things can be bought with a social card.
