All legally employed and registered foreign citizens can expect at least paid sick leave due to injury or illness. It is available to temporarily staying foreigners who have entered into an employment contract and have worked in the organization for at least 6 months. If a foreigner is employed under a civil labor contract, then his sick leave is paid by the employer, but only if this is stipulated in the GPA.

Federal Law N 255-FZ “On compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity”

Foreigners with temporary residence permit

If a temporarily staying foreigner has an official job, then he is entitled to a full social package from the Social Insurance Fund, which includes payment for sick leave and “children’s” leave . If there is no work, then there are no insurance premiums. This means there is no payment for sick leave or maternity leave.

Residence permit holders

Permanently residing foreign citizens are entitled to almost the same social assistance as Russians. For example, they are entitled to receive a monthly child care allowance even if they are unemployed . This is not available for RVP owners.

Citizens from EAEU countries

Residents of Belarus have a special status on the territory of the Russian Federation. Thanks to international agreements between the two countries, Belarusians receive all types of payments from the Social Insurance Fund, regardless of their status. Citizens of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia are in a similar situation. Even if they do not have a temporary residence permit or residence permit, they have the right to social security from the very first day of employment (and not after 6 months).

Article 98 of the Treaty on the EAEU

Options for obtaining citizenship

Due to the difficult political situation in Ukraine, many of its citizens come to Russia. For them there are 4 options for obtaining Russian citizenship:

1. According to a simplified procedure in Russian foreign institutions.
2. Simplified procedure on the territory of Russia.
3. The usual scenario for obtaining citizenship.
4. For refugees.

The first option is relevant for those residents of Ukraine whose parents (or one of them) are citizens of Russia.
For an applicant under 18 years of age, to obtain status, it is enough that one of his parents or guardian has a Russian passport. To obtain citizenship, it is enough to contact the representative office of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. The second option is suitable for those who decide to use the program for compatriots and native Russian speakers. The procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship and the package of documents for Ukrainians in this case are significantly reduced.

The third option is suitable for any foreigner, so citizens of Ukraine can also use it on a general basis, following the established scheme for acquiring a Russian passport.

Due to the tense situation in Eastern Ukraine and its other parts, situations of an influx of Ukrainian refugees are arising. In this regard, in 2021 there is a special program for this kind of citizens who can become Russians within six months.

Help for large and low-income families

A low-income family in Russia is one where the average per capita income per person is less than 2 subsistence levels in the region. Such families are entitled to special subsidies:

• For the first and second child from 0 to 3 years old (the order of children is counted according to the mother, that is, he should be the first or second for her, and not for the father);
• For any child from 3 to 7 years old;

Foreign citizens are not eligible for this state support. But “mixed” families, where one of the parents is a citizen of the Russian Federation, can receive money.

The benefit for the first or second child born after 2021 is paid in the amount of the subsistence level for children established in the region of residence. In order to receive this help, you need to contact the MFC or the SZN department.

• child's birth certificate;
• parents’ passports and marriage certificate;
• income certificates, certificates of payments that the mother already receives, work books and copies of parents’ employment contracts;
• bank account details;
• statement.
