Introduction of bills to the State Duma. Submitting bills to the State Duma Amending maternity capital

  • 27.03.2020

The latest news about the future of maternity capital indicates that the program will change in the future, but now there is no talk of canceling this program. Today, we can confidently talk about the extension of the program until 2020. What will happen next is hard to say. The authorities acknowledge that economic terms maternity capital is very difficult in terms of implementation. Nevertheless, the government recognizes that the program is fully coping with the tasks that were originally assigned to it.

Previously, maternity capital was indexed in 2015, and today the figure reaches 453,026 rubles. In addition, due to the current economic situation in the country, Vladimir Putin signed a decree banning indexation until 2020. This is required in order to save budget funds. At the same time, experts agree that the program should change in the future. The most recent initiatives in this regard indicate that the State Duma proposed to abandon lump sum payment as part of maternity capital, and replace it with monthly payments that will allow parents to better manage money for the maintenance of children. In particular, it is proposed to pay three thousand rubles for one child, eight thousand for two and 15 thousand for three children. As expected, all parents will be able to receive benefits, regardless of the financial situation of the family. Families will be able to receive this support exactly until the child turns 18 years old. Recall that maternity capital is a family support program that has been operating in Russia since 2007. It is aimed at supporting families in which the second and subsequent children were born. It is now possible to use maternity capital funds to improve housing conditions, educate a child, provide a mother with a pension, or to equip an apartment for a child with disabilities. Funds can be disposed of at your discretion after the child reaches the age of three. The only exceptions are when it comes to acquiring an apartment on a mortgage, or depositing funds into an existing mortgage loan. Read us in Yandex Zen

The State Duma discussed the abolition of maternity capital

Proposals to replace maternity capital with other forms of support for families with children were discussed in the State Duma. The authors of the idea, however, no longer insist on the abolition of the mother capital, but simply propose to strengthen support for families through benefits, and in addition to allocate land and cars to large families. However, in developed countries it is customary to support families with children with tax breaks and paying for nannies, Gazeta.Ru found out.
The continuation of the maternity capital program is again in doubt: on March 23, at a round table meeting in the State Duma, they discussed a proposal to replace it with increased child benefits and the issuance of land plots to large families. Experts suggest taking a closer look at foreign experience - in developed countries, it is used wide range measures ranging from tax cuts to subsidies for rent and babysitting.
France's experience could serve as an example for our country, says Melanya Aydinyan, PR manager at Pomogatel.ru. In this country, she notes, the state reimburses up to 85% of the cost of a nanny, deducts some more from taxes. “As a result, the family pays only 7.5% of total amount. To receive such compensation, a woman needs to work before giving birth, and a nanny must come for at least 16 hours a month,” says Aydinyan.
State compensation for the cost of a nanny in France depends on the family income, number and age of children. The maximum compensation (85%) is received by low-income families with a child under three years of age. For more affluent families and families with children from 3 to 6 years old, compensation will be 2-3 times lower.
In addition, in France, as in Germany, the state helps large families with a reduced tax rate.
“And the more children in the family, the lower the taxes for the household,” says Vasily Sharapov, a lawyer at the City-XXI Century development company. In the event of the abolition of maternity capital in Russia, he recommends the introduction of significant tax benefits for families with more than one child.
“If we calculate how much the state takes from Russian households in the form of taxes, it becomes obvious that a one-time payment in the amount of maternity capital is leveled over time due to the lack of significant tax benefits for such households,” the expert concludes.
Domestic reformers so far offer the simplest and most direct way of support: the distribution of benefits and gifts.
The authors of the latest proposals, State Duma deputy Sergei Vostretsov and head of the National Parents' Committee Irina Volynets, propose to pay benefits until the age of majority of children: 3 thousand rubles. for one child, 8 thousand rubles. for two and 15 thousand rubles. for three persons.
Families with more than four children will be given land plots, and those with more than six children will receive a Gazelle car in addition. From what sources the funds will be taken from is not specified. In a conversation with Gazeta.Ru last week, Volynets noted that they should be found and considered as investments in the future.
Moreover, if last week Volynets and Vostretsov were talking about replacing the mother's capital with benefits, calling it "pseudo support", then this week they have already softened the rhetoric. “We do not in any way criticize maternity capital, and even more so we do not plan to abolish it,” Volynets said in the State Duma, TASS quotes.

The Ministry of Labor leaves the poor on the conscience of the regions
The Ministry of Labor proposes to extend maternity capital until 2023, despite the fact that the state no longer has enough funds for indexation - it is frozen for the three-year period 2017-2019. The government continues to gradually improve the practice of providing and spending maternity capital.
So, in early March, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev reduced the period for its transfer from one month to 10 days. In 2015, it became possible to spend mother's capital on a housing loan installment without waiting for the child's 3rd birthday, remind the Ministry of Labor. In 2016, families with disabled children received the right to spend it on goods for social adaptation.
“It is important to understand that maternity capital is a demographic measure that stimulates an increase in the number of births, and not a measure of social support, when funds go to the current expenses of families in a difficult situation,” the Ministry of Labor noted.
Social support for the population is within the jurisdiction of the regions, the press service of the department added. Each region has the right to independently introduce such measures.
In other countries, there are practically no analogues of maternity capital, experts say. In the United States, for example, the birth rate is not encouraged by the state, notes Sharapov from City - XXI Century. Social support for families is mainly provided privately through charity, as well as religious organizations.
Social policy in the US varies from state to state. “In the field of real estate, the state in the United States supports low-income families who are recognized as needing social assistance. For such families, regardless of the number of children in them, multi-storey so-called social rental houses are being built. More than half of the costs for the construction of such buildings are financed from regional budgets under special state programs, ”the lawyer gives an example.

The allowance is not as important as its amount.
“Our country has a well-developed system of support for families with children. However, the amount of social payments does not meet the needs of the population,” says lawyer Andrey Komissarov. In this regard, the government may need to consider the experience of other countries on non-monetary support or social support measures with certain conditions.
In the Czech Republic, for example, each new born child reduces the retirement age of the mother, cites the example of the Commissioners. In Sweden, there are subsidies for rent, and the amount of the allowance depends on the number of children and the earnings of the parents: the family receives a larger allowance if the parents earn less than the subsistence level.
In Finland, support measures have been established in the form of providing the child with the necessary supplies, organizing the child’s rest and providing additional educational services.
In France, there are also monthly benefits that begin to be paid at the birth of a second child.
In Estonia, for a certain time after the birth of a child, the mother receives full wages, and then - cash payments for the child. For single mothers, additional benefits are provided for paying for housing, for medical care and others.

In Japan, large families are given discounts in stores.
“Thus, depending on the model chosen by the country social security support is provided for either all families with children, or certain categories (low-income, large families).
Benefits can be expressed in cash benefits, in reducing the tax base, in receiving subsidies, in reducing the retirement age, ”the lawyer sums up.
The situation with benefits does not look rosy in all countries, says Petr Pushkarev, chief analyst at TeleTrade Group. So, in Spain there is a one-time allowance of 1,500 thousand euros, but after 4 months, the mother should return to work. In Poland, a one-time payment is only 120 euros, and monthly benefits up to 3 years are 10 times less. In the UK, there are only monthly allowances of just over 100 euros for the first child, and for the second and subsequent - 70 euros, with a minimum wage of 1200 euros. True, these benefits are paid for up to 10 years. In Israel, the monthly allowance for children is also less than the subsistence level, and the mother is entitled to only 3 months of maternity leave, including the time before and after childbirth.

Hanging pear, you can not eat
All experts almost unanimously emphasize that Russian maternity capital is a unique phenomenon in the world, but draw diametrically opposite conclusions from this. Some suggest keeping it at all costs as a great achievement, others point out that if such a tool were useful, it would be used not only in our country.
“Analysts in Congress (USA) most likely know that population growth can hardly be influenced by cash transfers and other benefits: all countries have experienced this, but they still continue to believe that subsidies will help increase the population. According to my estimates, maternity capital is a rather unique phenomenon in the world, almost not found in any other country, as it has restrictions on spending purposes, ”says Kirill Yakovenko, an analyst at Alor Group.
There is a similar system in the UK, he notes, but it is not connected with the purchase of housing, but with savings: “When a child is born, an account is opened for him, and both the state and parents transfer money there, that is, the subsidy is created jointly.

All about maternity capital in 2018

This is probably one of the most honest and motivating ways to get parents to create savings for a child.”
And yet family support benefits remain a popular measure, and in many countries they are higher than ours, even in the countries of the former socialist bloc.
In Belarus, for example, the allowance for the first child aged 0 to 3 years is about 8 thousand rubles in terms of Russian rubles. monthly. For the second child in Belarus they give about 9 thousand Russian rubles. “Such payments are comparable to what they pay in Sweden: for the first child - about 7200 rubles. per month, for the second - the equivalent of 15 thousand rubles, ”says Yakovenko.
Due to severe restrictions on the purpose of use, maternity capital is more focused on supporting families with incomes slightly lower than the average than on the poor - and the latter need state assistance more, Tatyana, director of the Institute for Social Analysis and Forecasting of the RANEPA, emphasized in an interview with Gazeta.Ru Malev. Therefore, it is time to "convert" it into an increase in child benefits, which are regrettably low today, she believes.
In Russia, 40% of a mother's average monthly income for the previous two years is monthly for up to a year and a half, after which care allowance is provided only in the amount of 50 rubles. per month, at the same time in our country there is a shortage of nursery groups in kindergartens, and the bulk of the population cannot hire a nanny for a one and a half year old child.

Life is almost like in the Emirates
Opinions on the replacement of mother capital vary, including due to the fact that not every family can use the certificate received, says Lyudmila Rubanik, head of the independent expert center for combating corruption. As a result, some families that are below the poverty line get involved with scammers and are sometimes completely penniless. And in other cases, everything ends with criminal cases, the expert notes.
“Everything has to be thought out. Maybe we need to give a choice (between benefits and maternity capital) and simplify the implementation of certificates, ”she suggests. While this requires the collection of a huge number of documents, "and it all comes down to not helping mothers, but creating difficulties for them."
But if we replace the mother's capital with benefits, "we can get into such a story as with the monetization of benefits, when we lose what was good, and the new will not take root," objected Georgy Fedorov, First Deputy Chairman of the Public Chamber Commission on Social Policy.
Maternity capital is the “strategic financing” of the family, and monthly payments “will go nowhere” in a year, he said at a press conference this week.
“It is very important to keep maternal capital in the form of a solid and large lump-sum allowance, which the family can spend as a contribution to improving housing conditions, education or treatment of the child. And any options for an evenly “smeared” monthly allowance cannot be compared at all,” Petr Pushkarev agrees.
This program is unique, and its distant analogue exists only in United Arab Emirates, the expert emphasizes, where a family on the occasion of the birth of a child receives an amount from 50 thousand to 200 thousand dollars, a house or a villa. “However, the population of the Emirates is small, and it is almost impossible to come there and become a citizen of this country, which is why the state has the opportunity to provide its citizens from birth with oil revenues,” he explains.

Today, we can confidently talk about the extension of the program until 2020. What will happen next is hard to say.

“This program was initiated by your obedient servant. In 2006, they started talking about it, in 2007 it was introduced and is designed for the period up to 2016 inclusive.<...>We initially and consciously chose this period, because we must be absolutely sure that the federal budget will cope with the obligations that it has to pay this maternity capital.

<...>What will happen after the 16th year? I believe that in one form or another we will have to continue programs to support the birth of children in our country, but they must be more targeted, they must be more targeted.<...>I do not think that maternity capital will be completely abolished after 2016, but I also think that this is not the only measure necessary to support families with children. No less, and maybe more help (at least for residents of large cities) will be the development of social infrastructure and a network of preschool institutions.

What questions about maternity capital did citizens want to ask the President in 2015?

Parents whose family has a second child after 2007 receive maternity capital. The amount of payments was indexed annually until 2015. Since 2016, the increase in the amount of maternity capital has been frozen until 2020. From January 1, 2019, a number of changes to the procedure for registering maternity capital come into force.

Whether maternity capital will be canceled in 2019, the latest news of the program, whether there will be indexation of payments - we will figure it out in this article.

Latest news and program changes

November 12, 2018 in the State Duma the Ministry of Labor and social protection prepared a draft law on amendments to Article 10 of the Federal Law “On Additional Measures state support families with children.

2008 276, 250 10, 5 13, 3
