How to get 25 thousand from maternity capital in 2021?

Receiving cash from certificate funds in 2009–2017

Let us remember that initially maternity capital funds (MCC) could only be spent on certain purposes. This state support for families with two or more children appeared 10 years ago. During this time, the amount under the certificate almost doubled, and almost 5 million families improved their living conditions. The ability to use cash to avoid fraud was almost completely absent.

Then the cash-out story looked like this:

1. In 2009-2010, one-time payments were made against the certificate money. This means that each family had the opportunity to receive such help only once. The payment amount then was 12 thousand rubles. This measure was provided for everyone. There was no need to use documents to confirm your status as a family in need of subsidies.
2. In 2015, according to the same principle, an amount from maternity capital in the amount of 20 thousand rubles was issued. Parents spent this money on any needs of the family; there was no control from the state.
3. In 2021, it was possible to withdraw 25 thousand in cash. Many expected a repeat of such support in 2021, but this did not happen. This amount was given only to those who had not previously received such assistance from maternity capital funds.

In 2017-2018, there were no initiatives from State Duma deputies. This means that from 2021 it is no longer possible to receive a similar subsidy at the expense of MSC. But federal laws provide for other types of social assistance, which are implemented through local branches of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or MFCs (multifunctional centers).

Is it permissible to cash out maternity capital?

During the existence of the program (since 2007), the issuance of cash against maternity capital has been repeatedly allowed to certificate holders. The federal authorities have repeatedly issued regulations allowing citizens to:

• dispose of part of the allocated funds even before the child reaches a certain age;
• allocate money for purposes not regulated by law.

Cashing out of maternity capital in 2009-2010 and 2015-2016 was carried out according to a clear algorithm and in strictly defined amounts.

To receive cash, you had to submit an application to the territorial body of the Pension Fund or use the services of the MFC. Once the government-set amount arrived in the bank account, recipients could withdraw the money once a year.

In 2021, the government did not decide to issue part of the capital in cash. The annual indexation of the allocated amount was also suspended. From 01/01/20, indexing has been resumed.

Given these changes, many certificate holders are interested in whether maternity capital will be partially cashed out in 2021. Unfortunately, according to the law, government subsidies in the form of maternity capital cannot be received in cash.

Authorized authorities warn that any method of converting maternity capital into cash is an illegal act.

And yet, program participants are interested in how to legally cash out maternity capital, at least in a limited amount.

Is it possible to get 25 thousand from maternity capital in 2021?

You can now withdraw cash from maternity capital, but not for everyone. It is not yet possible to receive a one-time payment of 25,000 rubles. But it is likely that legislators will introduce such a measure in the middle of the year, as was the case in 2021. So there is still hope. What is the latest news from the State Duma?

Now the State Duma, the highest legislative body of the Russian Federation, is considering the following bill: in 2018, all families who did not receive one-time assistance from maternity capital are entitled to a payment of 50 thousand rubles.

If it is accepted, then, by analogy with 2015-2016, this amount from the certificate funds will be given only to those whose second or subsequent child was born no earlier than this year. To receive funds, you will need to properly prepare documents.

What documents will be required

Many people have a question: is it possible to receive a one-time benefit again if you have already received it? No, such a measure is not provided. Therefore, only those who have at least the same amount on their certificate balance and those who are planning to apply for an MSK in the near future should be concerned about receiving money.

It should be noted that receiving this type of subsidy is of an application nature. If there is no circulation, then the funds remain in the family’s account and can only be spent in traditional ways. The algorithm for receiving money through the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is as follows:

1. Issue a certificate, if it has not been issued previously, through the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or the MFC (this requires two important conditions: Russian citizenship of the mother and the birth of a second child). Recently, electronic application has become a common method of filing an application. This can be done through the official website of the Pension Fund or through a visit to the local branch of the fund. Without queues, the application can be submitted through the multifunctional.
2. Having received a positive answer, send an application for payment of a one-time subsidy.
3. Provide documents that confirm family status.

Despite the fact that in general the rules for receiving funds remain unchanged, we can only wait for the result of consideration of the proposal in the State Duma. Those who are interested in receiving cash, for example, to prepare a child for school, can only follow the news from the State Duma.

As for the date of birth of children in families applying for MSC, it can be compared with previous years. In 2021, a family whose child was born no later than the end of September of the current year had the right to such state support.

Consequences of illegal cashing out of capital

There have always been those who seek to circumvent the rules and take possession of what cannot be obtained by law. Some subsidy recipients believe that since the money belongs to them, it is illegal to cash out maternity capital in cash.

Any manipulations with maternity capital funds aimed at cashing out are criminal in nature and entail sanctions from regulatory authorities.

There are many ways on the Internet to cash a certificate through a company, get a loan, a loan and other schemes for it.

Cooperation with microfinance organizations seems to certificate holders the most harmless way to receive cash. According to employees of these institutions, there is a legal way to obtain cash from maternity capital through microfinance.

This method is also illegal. Participants in the transaction may lose the opportunity to participate in government programs in the future. In addition, they risk being sentenced to imprisonment for aiding in an attempt to use public funds illegally.

Alternative options

Starting this year, monthly payments are provided for those families where a second child was born no earlier than 2021. The condition for receiving such a subsidy is a low family income: each member should have no more than 1.5 times the subsistence minimum. Payments will amount to 1 subsistence minimum per month, which is approximately equal to 10 thousand rubles.

It is assumed that such payments are much more necessary than lump sum benefits for several reasons:

• cash is paid to low-income families, which means they have a real need for money;
• monthly payments guarantee an improvement in the family’s well-being, unlike lump sum payments;
• Before the child reaches 1.5 years of age (the age when cash payments end), the family especially needs funds, since most often the mother does not work but takes care of the child.

Of the main nuances of the new law, the following should be noted. Firstly, the cost of living is determined in each region, since the standard of living is different everywhere. The cost of living for pensioners, working citizens, and children is different.

Your right to monthly payments must be documented after the birth of the baby, and a second time - after he reaches one year. Initially and repeatedly, documents are submitted to the Pension Fund. In order for the money to be transferred, counting from the birth of the child, you need to write an application no later than the child turns six months old. If the application occurs later, then funds from maternity capital are transferred, counting from the date of application until the child reaches one and a half years old.

A similar measure has been adopted for needy families with children since the beginning of 2021. The conditions for receiving and the amount of financial assistance are the same. The only difference is the source of funding. These funds are not allocated from maternity capital, so those who do not have a certificate are also entitled to them.

In 2021, there is no one-time financial assistance for 25 thousand from maternity capital funds. But, if we compare the situation with previous years, when such assistance was provided, there is hope. Typically, such laws are adopted in the summer and remain in effect until the end of the year. Perhaps by mid-2021, Russia's highest legislative body will make a decision on this issue. As was written above, the initiative has already been submitted to the State Duma for consideration.

How have monthly payments from maternity capital changed?

The monthly payment from maternity capital increased to 10,203 rubles.

Amendments allowing even more families with a maternity capital certificate to receive a monthly payment for a second child came into force on January 1, 2021.

According to the changes, the maximum monthly income per person in a family, which gives the right to payment, has been increased to two subsistence minimums. The payment itself began to be provided twice as long - until the second child is three years old. Previously, only families with an income within one and a half subsistence levels per person could apply for monthly support from maternity capital, and funds were paid until the second child was one and a half years old.

“In addition to these changes, the size of the monthly payment has also increased,” clarifies the head of the social payments department of the regional pension department, Yana Pozdnyakova . “Depending on the subject, it increased differently. Here, in the Altai Territory, the amount of monthly payments from maternity capital funds has increased to 10,203 rubles.

Let us remind you that the payment is provided to families in which a second child was born or adopted, starting in 2021. 1,745 Altai families applied for a monthly payment from maternity capital funds for the entire time such payment became possible.

To determine whether a family is eligible for this support measure, it is necessary to divide the income of parents and children for the last year by 12 months and by the number of family members, including the second child. If the resulting value is within two subsistence levels of the working-age population in the subject, you can submit an application to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (PFR) for payment.

When calculating income, salaries, bonuses, pensions, social benefits, scholarships and some types of monetary compensation are taken into account. When applying to the Pension Fund, the listed types of income must be documented, with the exception of payments provided by the Pension Fund. When calculating income, the amounts of one-time financial assistance from the federal budget received in connection with emergency incidents are not taken into account.

You can submit an application at any time within three years from the date of the birth of the second child in the family. If you apply to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the first six months, the payment will be provided from the date of birth or adoption and the family will receive funds for all past months. If you apply later than six months, payment begins from the day the application is submitted. The funds are transferred to the account of the owner of the maternity capital certificate in a Russian credit institution.

Families whose right to a monthly payment ceased in 2021 due to the fact that a year and a half has passed since the birth of their second child can submit a new application and resume receiving funds from maternity capital. Payment in such cases will begin to be provided from the day the application is submitted.

It should be remembered that funds are paid to the family until the child turns three years old. The payment also stops if maternity capital is fully used or the family changes place of residence.

The period for providing monthly payments from maternity capital is calculated for one year. As this period expires, the family must re-apply to the Pension Fund with a new application to extend the receipt of funds.
