Raising one three or more children for each mother is a huge job. Not only is a woman alone, it is difficult for her morally, but physically she has to provide for all the children and herself alone. It is not easy to remain in such a situation, the state is trying in every possible way to support privileged categories of citizens with the help of various subsidies, benefits and additional payments.
The status of a single mother, to whom it applies
According to statistics, about 30% of women in Russia are raising children alone. However, not everyone is eligible to receive benefits and payments. In order to understand the meaning of this concept, we will understand the following:
- If the child was born in a marriage and subsequently the parents divorced, then the mother will not be recognized as a loner, since she is entitled to alimony from the father of the child
- If the child's birth certificate contains the surname, name, patronymic of the father, then such a woman is also not recognized as single.
- If there is a dash in the father column, then she can be attributed to single mothers, even if she marries in the future
Important! In cases where a woman was married and divorced, but three hundred days have not passed at the time of birth, the child will be recorded in the name of the former spouse
In such a situation, a woman is not entitled to benefits, however, she can still receive the status of a single mother:
| fall under the status | Do not fall |
| she became pregnant and gave birth, being unmarried, and the registry office did not record the recognition of paternity by her current partner; · an unmarried woman has undergone an adoption procedure; The fact of paternity was established by the registry office, but went through a challenge in court. If the DNA examination and the court confirmed that the man is not the biological parent, then the woman can subsequently receive benefits as a single mother. |
Russian women who divorced their husbands. It doesn’t matter at all how the ex-spouse behaves further - evading the payment of maintenance amounts does not affect the mother’s status in any way; women who gave birth to a baby out of wedlock, but their partner or cohabitant was recognized as the father of the child (in the registry office or by court order); · Russian women who have become widows, have deprived their husbands of their paternal status, or whose husbands have been declared missing; Russian women who gave birth to a baby within 300 or less days from the date of filing a divorce. |

What is the law of a single mother.
In Russia, there are quite frequent cases in which a woman is engaged in raising children without male support. The reasons for this are different, but in any case, the child is forced to grow up in an incomplete family. To raise a worthy member of society out of him, the mother spends enormous forces, while working hard to provide her child with everything necessary and keep up with rising prices. In the article we will talk about the benefits [allowances] for single mothers in Moscow in 2020, what size and procedure for obtaining them.
The government sees the complexity of the situation and, being interested in the development of the future generation of Russian workers, is trying to support single mothers in all spheres of life. Benefits and allowances for single mothers are approved at the federal level, but the regions have the right to supplement existing support measures with their own payments and in-kind assistance. Thus, the capital of Russia has its own state child allowances, which can only be received by Muscovites.

The amount of payments varies depending on the place of residence of the mother and is influenced by the following points:
- the number of children
- the fact that the parent has an official place of work,
- mother's average earnings per family member.

Typical mistakes during registration
Mistake #1. The woman, before applying for benefits for the poor, calculated the average per capita income, including the earnings of her new husband, who did not adopt her children, and came to the conclusion that she was not entitled to payments for the poor.
In the case when the new spouse of a former single mother does not adopt or adopt her child, his salary should not be taken into account when calculating the average per capita income of the family.
Mistake #2. A single mother has applied for a refund of rent for a house, while she rents it informally without a tenancy agreement.
The condition for providing compensation for rented housing is its execution under a rental agreement with the payment of income tax by the landlord.
Answers to common questions
Question number 1. Where is the money transferred after the approval of the application for state benefits in Moscow?
The amounts of all state benefits are credited to the Muscovite's social card.
Question number 2. When should single mothers apply for Moscow social benefits for children?
Some payments must be made before the child is 6 months old, others - up to 12 months. The general recommendation is that you should not apply for benefits if the account begins crediting during the last months of maternity leave, otherwise the B&D benefit will be taken into account in the calculation of family income, which will lead to a decrease in the amount of payments or to forfeit them. .
Not every woman who raises a child without the participation of a father is considered by our legislation to be a single mother. Such a status and related social support from the state is received only by a woman who has given birth to a child out of wedlock and in the absence of a joint application of the parents or a court decision to establish paternity. In the birth certificate of her baby, respectively, there will either be a dash, or the father's surname is written by the mother's surname, and the name and patronymic - at her direction. At the same time, the registry office issues a certificate of an approved form confirming her status (form No. 25) to a woman.
If the child has an official father, then a woman is not entitled to any benefits as a single mother, even when the unfortunate father does not live with his family and does not pay alimony.
Single mother: benefits and benefits in 2020 and by whom they are provided
It would be logical to assume that the state should take care of socially unprotected citizens. And some payments to single moms are indeed set at the federal level. But often, what and when the allowance will be, a single mother learns from friends or from local news. This is because part of the preferences for this category is at the mercy of the local authorities, which establishes them based on their own understanding and financial capabilities. And the provision of concessions in the field of labor relations has traditionally been entrusted to employers.
Social support measures
As before, one cannot count on any special allowance for a single mother in 2020. However, in order to improve the financial situation of single mothers, they may be granted various social privileges established at the local level. These benefits typically include:
- free sets of linen for a newborn;
- free children's dairy kitchen;
- extraordinary admission of the baby to kindergarten;
- discount on payment for kindergarten;
- the purchase of certain drugs for free or at a discount;
- free services of a massage therapist in a children's clinic;
- free meals in the school cafeteria;
- discount on utility bills.
Benefits in matters of labor and employment
It is clear that in order to raise a baby alone, you must have a stable income. Therefore, one of the most significant guarantees for a single mother raising a child under 14 is the statutory prohibition on dismissal at the initiative of the employer, except in cases of complete liquidation of the enterprise or on guilty grounds (truancy, being in a state of intoxication, etc.). That is, when carrying out measures to reduce staff in an organization, it is impossible to dismiss a single mother on this basis.
Until the child reaches the age of five years, the direction of a single mother on business trips, involvement in overtime work, work at night, weekends and non-working holidays can be carried out only with her consent. And until the child turns 14, the mother can work part-time (although the salary will be proportional to the hours worked).
If the organization has concluded a collective agreement, then it may establish the right for single mothers to receive additional annual leave without pay at a time convenient for them for up to 14 calendar days.
Payments and benefits
At the federal level, child benefits for a single mother practically do not differ from payments for children raised in a complete family - neither in the list of types, nor in their size. So, the amount of the single mother's allowance in 2020 will be:
- maternity allowance - depending on the amount of earnings, but not less than 34,520.55 rubles;
- fixed one-time payment at the birth of a child - 16,350.33 rubles;
- monthly payments for caring for a baby up to one and a half years old - in the amount of 40% of average earnings, but not less than 3065.69 rubles;
- monthly payment for child care from 1.5 to 3 years - 50 rubles;
- monthly or quarterly payment to low-income single parents with children under 16, depending on the region.
In addition, working single mothers are entitled to double the tax deduction. A tax deduction is a statutory amount of income on which income tax is not withheld. That is, a person will receive a large amount in his hands. A tax deduction in the amount of 2,800 rubles per 1 child is provided to singles until the moment when the annual amount of income does not exceed 350,000 rubles.
What documents are needed to receive benefits
To receive social support measures for a single mother, the relevant social security authority must provide:
- statement;
- the passport;
- birth certificate of the child (original and copy);
- certificate of form No. 25, which was mentioned above.
To receive benefits provided to low-income families, you will still need a certificate from the place of residence on the composition of the family.
Summing up
For some reason, it is widely believed that being a single mom is beneficial. But, as we can see, no special child allowance for single mothers in 2020 in Russia, unlike some European countries, has been established, and this status gives little privileges. Therefore, in material terms, it is much more profitable to establish the paternity of the biological father and require him to pay alimony. However, the position of a single parent has its advantages: you don’t have to ask anyone for permission to go with the baby to rest in another country or, for example, ask the child’s father to bring a certificate from work stating that he did not use the appropriate benefit at his place of work .
Today, a single mother with many children is not uncommon. Often women refuse to register their father in favor of financial support from the state.
In addition to federal support measures, a number of developed regions have additional preferences.

The category of single mothers with many children includes women who take care of at least three children, the eldest of which has not reached the age of majority. Accordingly, the bar can be carried up to 23 years of age, subject to full-time education.
The corresponding status is assigned if the children are not born in an official marriage or after 300 days from the date of the official divorce. Another case is the impossibility of establishing the identity of the father or challenging paternity in court.
The status of a single mother with many children does not contradict the possibility of being married. However, there are different judicial practices on this issue: often the court leaves the status of a single mother if her new husband has not adopted children, respectively, he does not have the obligation to raise and support them.
What are the
Benefits for single mothers include preferences in the main areas of life:
- social;
- labor;
- housing;
- medical;
- educational, etc.
Housing
Housing issues are resolved, in general, in a standard manner. However, for this category of persons, various housing programs are provided. Subsidies, subsidies for the purchase or construction of housing stock are offered.
Single mothers with multiple children can participate in federal and regional programs. As a rule, there are a number of requirements for participants:
- citizenship of the Russian Federation;
- lack of housing in the property;
- permanent residence in Russia.
How much allowance per child
The legislation provides for monthly payments until the youngest child reaches one and a half years, which in 2020 are:
- for the unemployed - 6284.65 rubles (for the second and subsequent child);
- for employees - 40% of the salary, but not less than the specified amount.
Permanent benefits are accrued until the age of majority. Their size depends on the region of residence.
In Moscow, they pay 1,200 rubles for each child from a large family in order to compensate for the rise in prices, as well as 675 rubles to smooth out the upward trend in food prices (until children reach 3 years of age).
Child benefits from different fathers
When it comes to single mothers, there is, in principle, no point in talking about the fathers of children. And even if the children are actually born from different men, this does not exclude the possibility of receiving all the due benefits and payments at the federal and regional levels.
Labor privileges
The Labor and Tax Code of the Russian Federation establish significant preferences for mothers with many children.
- A woman cannot be fired until the youngest child reaches the age of 14 (or 18 if the child is disabled), even if the owner of the enterprise or administration changes. In the case of a fixed-term contract, after its expiration, the average salary must be paid for another 3 months.
- 100% compensation for sick leave, even if this is not provided for by law due to lack of experience or output.
- The impossibility of attracting on holidays and weekends if there are small children.
- Additional unpaid 14-day leave at the request of the employee.
- Tax deduction for personal income tax: 1400 rubles - for the first two children, another 3 thousand for the third and subsequent.
- Raising five or more children allows, with sufficient experience and IPC, to retire at 50 years old.
To be eligible for an early pension, the youngest of five or more children must be 8 years old and have at least 15 years of insurance experience. With an insurance period of 20 years, a woman with two or more children can also retire early if she has worked in the Far North for at least 12 calendar years or in areas equivalent to it for at least 17 calendar years.
Surcharges
Among the additional payments at the level of the subject of the federation, a monthly payment in the amount of the subsistence minimum for the third and subsequent child is established.
You should contact the social security authorities or the MFC for it.
Paid until the third birthday of the youngest of the children.
Not in all subjects it was decided to assign this allowance. It is necessary to clarify in the bodies of social protection of the population whether this privilege is established in your subject of the Russian Federation.
Other surcharges have been established in the regions. They are both permanent and one-time. For example, in the Kostroma region, lump-sum benefits in connection with the birth of a child, in Sakhalin, additional payments are provided for babies aged 1.5-6.5 years who do not attend kindergarten.
Financial assistance from the state: what money does he receive
Depending on age, the amount of benefits for each dependent varies. Most of all, funds are relied on for a minor under three years of age, then benefits and compensations are reduced. However, large amounts can be offered by the regions if the budget of the subject allows it.
Monthly payment for children
The amount of monthly payments depends on the age of the children. So, differentiation occurs according to the following age categories:
- up to 1.5 years;
- 1.5 - 3 years;
- 37 years;
- over 7 years old.
Benefit amount: how is it calculated
The calculation of the amount of payments is made only for working single mothers with many children. As a general rule, the amount of the benefit is 40% of the available earnings.
All regional benefits are calculated according to the rules of the subject of residence. Appointed for various reasons, they rely only on permanent residence, and sometimes mandatory registration in it.
What allowance does he receive for children from three years old
This type of benefit is paid until the youngest dependent is 18 years old. The exact amounts of payments are not set at the level of the Russian Federation and completely depend on the laws of the subject. They are much smaller than those that rely on raising children under three years old.
What gets after 18 years
Maintaining the status of a mother of many children and, as a result, receiving support is possible even after reaching the age of 18. The main condition is to receive full-time education in a Russian university or secondary school and be under 23 years of age.
Education in foreign educational organizations is taken into account only if it is provided for by an international agreement.
The procedure for granting benefits to single mothers
Receiving benefits is possible only if you have the status of a mother of many children.
Depending on what preferences a woman receives, the appeal is submitted:
- to social protection (benefits and compensations);
- to the tax authorities (personal income tax deduction);
- employer (granting leave, compensation).
Design rules
To apply for benefits, a woman must contact the social security authorities by submitting documents there:
- written statement;
- the passport;
- birth certificates of children;
- information about the composition of the family;
- confirmation that she is not married;
- bank account details;
- documentary confirmation of the status of a mother of many children.
If we are talking about benefits, the amount of which depends on earnings, information on employment and wages (or being registered with the labor exchange) is also attached.
Thus, at the level of the federation and subjects, benefits are provided in the main areas - social, labor, tax, housing, medical. Their appointment is possible if at least three children officially do not have a father.
