Providing compensation for kindergarten in 2021

Home/Services/Compensation for kindergarten

If a child attends kindergarten, his parents are required to pay money to receive the service.
However, the state allows you to return part of the money paid in 2021. Not all parents can receive compensation for their child’s stay in kindergarten. Its size can vary significantly. It depends on the number of children attending the institution. There are other factors that influence the amount of compensation.

Normative base

Partial compensation for keeping a child in kindergarten is provided on the basis of Federal Law No. 273 of December 29, 2012. The regulatory legal act fixes the minimum amount of compensation payment for kindergarten in 2021, and also establishes factors that influence the amount of the required amount.

Additional Information

Federal Law No. 273 was planned to be adjusted. A bill was introduced into the State Duma that would provide cash benefits and compensation in 2021 to parents who were unable to get a place for their child in kindergarten. Citizens could receive 5,000 rubles monthly.

The bill was developed to achieve the following goals:

• reducing the load on kindergartens suffering from an influx of applicants;
• will allow parents to independently solve the problems of preparing their children for school by hiring a tutor or using the services of private kindergartens;
• providing women who cannot leave maternity leave after its end with additional financial support.

However, the bill was rejected. The reason for this decision was the presence of long queues at children's educational institutions in the regions and the inability of the federal budget to allocate the required amount of funds to provide payments.

Using maternity capital to pay for education at a preschool educational institution

This form of support for motherhood and childhood, such as maternal capital, can be used to pay for the maintenance of a child in kindergarten. Certain conditions must be met: the kindergarten is located on the territory of the Russian Federation and conducts licensed general educational activities.

In addition, maternity capital funds should only cover the cost of the child’s basic stay in kindergarten. No third-party services, additional classes, sections, excursions can be paid for with this money.

At the same time, stay in a private kindergarten may be covered by maternity capital if its activities are licensed in accordance with educational standards.

The algorithm for using maternity capital will be as follows:

• The parent (most often the mother of the child), for whom the certificate for maternity capital is issued, enters into an additional agreement to the contract with the preschool educational institution, which spells out the benefits of the recipient, and provides a calculation of the amounts and deadlines for making payments for the kindergarten.
• An application is submitted to the branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Documents with copies are attached to it: identity card and SNILS of the parent and child, certificate for maternal capital, contract and additional agreement from the kindergarten, license of the preschool educational institution for conducting educational activities.
• The Pension Fund reviews the application and makes a decision. If it is positive, the money is transferred by bank transfer to the bank account of the preschool institution, no later than 2 months from the date of submission of the application by the parent.

Before you decide to use maternity capital funds to pay for kindergarten, you need to evaluate how profitable it is, because there are some nuances here. So, in this case it is impossible to issue a deduction for personal income tax. There is also no compensation for kindergarten fees, since payments come from the Pension Fund, and compensation comes from the regional budget. And, since the parents do not pay their own money, in this case they have no right to claim compensation.

Who is entitled to compensation for kindergarten in 2021?

The right to obtain a place in a preschool educational institution in 2021 is guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation. A child can be admitted to kindergarten from a very early age. In theory, government institutions are ready to take on the education of minors who have reached the age of 2 months. However, in practice this is very problematic to implement. In 2021, children will begin to be enrolled in kindergarten at the age of 2-3 years. Registration takes place upon the birth of the child.

Attention

The law allows you to receive compensation for kindergarten in 2021. The state is ready to return part of the funds contributed as payment for the services of the institution. The right is granted to needy citizens who pay a fee for the organization’s services. In accordance with Federal Law 388, Article 7, the criterion of need is established at the regional level - in each subject of the Russian Federation or individual municipality, the conditions for receiving compensation and the targeting criteria themselves can be established. The payment amount may vary. The decisive factor is the number of minor children in the family. The required amount of compensation in 2021 is indicated in the table below.

At the local level, additional benefits may be established regarding the amount of compensation for kindergarten in 2021. Citizens who fall into this category can count on an increase in the amount of payment from the local budget. The authorities have the right to independently determine the category of families in greatest need. Certain industries that own children's educational institutions have similar rights. Thus, Order No. 862 of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation contains a list of additional benefits that children of military personnel are entitled to. The legal act also defines the categories of parents who can count on receiving a payment of 50%, regardless of the number of children. In 2021, increased compensation for kindergarten is provided to:

• disabled people;
• persons working in kindergarten;
• military personnel who are serving under conscription;
• liquidators of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Additional information
You can check the availability of regional compensation by contacting your local administration or social service.

Purpose of payment

There are several types of preferences regarding kindergarten. Some are financed from the federal budget, others from the regional budget.

Federal

From the federal budget, beneficiaries are provided with the following types of preferences:

• Reimbursement of part of the payment for kindergarten. Preference is given to single mothers, large families, low-income families, and other categories of beneficiaries. For 1 child, a discount on kindergarten fees is provided in the amount of 20% of the payment amount, for 2 - 50%, for 3 - 70%, for four or more - 100%.
• Compensation for food for children attending a preschool educational institution. Preference is given to participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl disaster.
• Subsidy for a child’s failure to attend a preschool educational institution due to medical reasons. Benefits are provided to Chernobyl victims.

Some parents are provided with an increased amount of reimbursement for their children’s attendance at a preschool educational institution. Categories of beneficiaries:

• persons with disabilities;
• kindergarten workers;
• citizens undergoing military service by conscription;
• persons who took part in eliminating the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster.

For these citizens, the amount of compensation is 50% of the payment amount, regardless of the number of children.

Regional

At the regional level, the following types of preferences can be provided:

• increasing the discount on preschool education;
• subsidy for a child’s failure to attend kindergarten.

Required documents to receive

The state will agree to provide funds when the legal representative of a minor citizen prepares and submits the required list of papers to the children's educational institution. Only one parent can receive the payment. They must independently agree among themselves about who will receive the funds. Another person who legally represents the interests of the child has the right to apply for compensation for kindergarten in 2021. Before contacting a government agency, you will need to prepare the following documents:

1. Statement. The paper must inform the management of the preschool institution about the desire to receive a payment.
2. Applicant's passport. A copy of the document is required. If for some reason a citizen cannot provide documents, it is allowed to replace it with another identity document.
3. A paper confirming the applicant's place of residence.
4. Child's birth certificate. A copy of the document is required. If a guardian or trustee wants to receive funds, you will need to provide a copy of the agreement on the transfer of a minor citizen to be raised in a family. The paper can be replaced by an extract from the decision of the guardianship authority.
5. A copy of the receipt confirming payment of parental fees to the kindergarten.
6. Certificate of family composition.
7. A document containing information about a bank personal account opened in the name of the applicant.

Additional information
Experts advise first contacting the authorized body and clarifying the list of required documentation.

How to get compensation

Compensation can only be received upon application

. Most often, when registering a child for kindergarten, the head simultaneously gives several forms of agreements and applications (preschool education agreement, application for compensation of parental fees, a letter with a list of relatives who have the right to pick up the child from kindergarten, and others).

In addition to the application, in order to receive compensation you must also collect a certain package of documents.

Step 1. Collect a package of documents

The first thing one of the parents needs to do is fill out an application. It is better to take the application form from the kindergarten, as it may differ slightly from the standard one.

The application must indicate:

• last name, first name and patronymic of the parent - recipient of compensation;
• registration and residence address;
• passport details;
• bank details for transferring compensation;
• last name, first name, patronymic and date of birth of the child for whom kindergarten fees will be paid;
• last names, first names, patronymics and dates of birth of other children, if any;
• date and signature.

Along with the application, you must provide a package of documents

, which most often consists of:

• photocopies of the passport of the parent - recipient of compensation;
• photocopies of birth certificates or passports of all children living in the family;
• a printout with bank details.

But this list is not closed; additional documents may be installed in each region

which must be attached to the application. For example, in one of the kindergartens in the city of Bryansk, parents must bring the following documents shown in the photo below.

It is worth noting that a certificate of family composition for a kindergarten is valid only in the month in which it was issued

. That is, if the certificate was issued on November 30, then on December 1 it will no longer be accepted in kindergarten.

Step 2. Transfer of documents to kindergarten

The application along with a package of documents must be given to the head of the kindergarten. This can be done independently during office hours or by appointment, or through the child’s teacher.

The application and photocopies of documents remain in the kindergarten

. If a parent transfers a child to another kindergarten, photocopies of documents will not be returned to him.

After the documents are certified by the kindergarten, they are sent to the city Department of Education and Science, the Department of Health and other departments, the list of which is approved by the regional authorities.

When all the documents have been collected and sent where appropriate, the parent will begin to receive compensation for parental fees.

. The money will be sent to the bank account specified in the application.

Compensation for parental fees for kindergarten

Previously, preschool education was provided only at the state level. Today, commercial institutions have begun to appear in this area. Private kindergartens must have an appropriate license. The fee for kindergarten is set by the state. Based on the amount, the amount of compensation will be subsequently determined. Transfer of compensation funds for kindergarten is made at the end of each month after the citizen has paid the fee. So, if a person plans to receive a payment for October, it will be accrued in November.

IMPORTANT

A number of categories of citizens have the right to return money for children’s meals. The benefit is valid in all regions of the Russian Federation. Funds are provided to the citizen who has entered into an agreement with the children's educational institution. When considering applications, authorized bodies do not always approve them. Compensation is usually provided to low-income and large families. The number of family members who are unemployed is also taken into account. If the cost of payment for kindergarten is adjusted, the amount of payment also changes.

To receive compensation for kindergarten in 2021, parents must prepare a full package of necessary documents. The papers are sent to the accounting department of the preschool institution. It can be a centralized department for all children's educational institutions in a city or district. In this case, the documents can be accepted within the organization itself. Received papers are forwarded to the financial department.

Parents must independently verify that the received application is registered in a special journal. It should be available in every institution. The log records information about exactly when the paper was accepted. The procedure for applying for compensation is the same when applying to any preschool institution. It looks like this:

1. Parents provide a package of documents. Employees of the organization accept the application and record the data in a special journal.
2. Specialists check the received papers. Then the documentation is transferred from the children's educational institution to higher authorities.
3. Specialists from authorized organizations check the papers and make a decision on granting or refusing compensation. Once a quarter, kindergarten employees monitor information that comes from the district or region to determine whether any changes have occurred.
4. The cash payments made by the applicant are recorded. Based on the information, the required compensation is calculated and accrued.
5. The citizen receives money.

Attention:
During the granting process, the amount of the subsidy may change. Persons who have the same number of children and live in the same region may receive payments of different amounts. This is due to the fact that in 2021, regional authorities have the right to establish additional compensation for certain categories of citizens. Information about the availability of additional benefits should be clarified in advance. In a number of situations, the required list of documents may be adjusted.

Nuances and controversial issues

Compensation is a state benefit and therefore, as with any payment, many controversial issues arise. We decided to dwell on some of them separately.

The first thing that many Russians are interested in is whether it is possible to receive compensation for a private kindergarten

. The answer directly depends on whether the private kindergarten has a license for preschool education. If yes, then the parent has the right to submit an application and a package of documents to obtain compensation for parental fees for the child’s attendance at kindergarten. If there is no license, then you will not be able to receive compensation.

The next question that interests many is whether it is possible to receive compensation for parental fees for a kindergarten, provided that the money was not contributed by the applicant parent.

Here you can answer in different ways. If, when paying for kindergarten, the passport details of a grandmother or another relative were filled in, then you will not be able to receive compensation. But if dad paid for the garden, and mom filled out the application, then you can receive compensation only if the father submits an application on his own behalf.

Another question of interest that concerns children from a first marriage: what number will the common child be if there is a child from a first marriage?

. For example, a family consists of a mother, father and child. But the father has one child from his first marriage, and the mother has the first child together. What kind of child will the common child be?

The nuance here is whether the child from the first marriage lives in the family or not. That is, for the mother of a common child he will be considered the first, and for the father - if the child, by court decision, lives with the father, then the common child will be the second, and if a child from the first marriage lives with the mother, then the common child will also be the first.

The last question we would like to draw attention to concerns parents whose account has been frozen by decision of the FSSP. Most often, cards are seized due to unpaid fines, taxes, or enforcement proceedings. Can the bank write off compensation for parental fees to pay off the debt?

Answer: yes. Compensation for parental fees is not included in the list of income that cannot be written off as debt repayment.

Application for reimbursement of kindergarten fees

In order for the state to agree to return part of the money spent on kindergarten in 2021, it is necessary to draw up an application. The document must be formatted correctly. In other situations, the application may be rejected. Typically, government agencies have their own ready-made form. The applicant only needs to enter his data in it. This greatly simplifies the task. The application must include the following information:

• Full name of the parent applying for compensation;
• the applicant's place of residence;
• request for a refund;
• account number to which the payment will be transferred;
• information that the parent undertakes to inform the institution about all changes that may affect the provision of the payment.

IMPORTANT
If the kindergarten does not provide a ready-made form for compensation for kindergarten, the parent will have to fill out an application independently. Performing an action without specific knowledge is problematic. Therefore, experts recommend using a ready-made sample. applications can be found here.

How to calculate compensation for kindergarten?

The amount of compensation for kindergarten in 2021 directly depends on the amount of money that parents contribute as payment for kindergarten services. The payout is a percentage of the fee charged. If the value of the indicator is adjusted, the amount of compensation also changes. The amount is calculated based on a formula. It looks like this:

Amount of compensation = (Total fee for attending kindergarten: number of working days in a month) x number of days that the child spent in a preschool institution x coefficient of the number of children.

Typically, employees of the authorized body independently determine the amount of payment. A citizen can check the accuracy of the accrual and calculate the amount due to him.

Can compensation be denied?

The kindergarten has the right to refuse compensation, but only on 3 grounds:

1. not all documents are presented;
2. the kindergarten does not have a license;
3. Compensation is not issued to the parent.

First reason

refusal of compensation - if the applicant did not provide all documents or filled out the application incorrectly. That is, for example, he did not provide a certificate of family composition or a marriage certificate, or he filled out bank details incorrectly.

Second reason for refusal

– the kindergarten does not have a license. For example, in Moscow, a large family can open a family kindergarten. If all 2 children in a family are of preschool age, then other children, for example, neighbors, can also attend this family kindergarten. Such a family kindergarten is not required to obtain a license. That is, family kindergartens that operate without a license do not provide compensation for parental fees for children attending a preschool institution.

Third and final reason

, for which compensation may not be provided - this is if the application is not made on behalf of the parent. For example, if a grandmother writes an application for compensation, she will be denied compensation (exception: the grandmother is registered as an official guardian).

If the eldest child is 18 years old

The law allows you to increase the amount of compensation for kindergarten in 2021 if there are other children in the family. However, the rule only applies to offspring who are under 18 years of age. If one of the children has already reached the age of majority, he will not be taken into account when determining the amount of compensation. The total payment amount will decrease in 2021. So, if there are three children in a family, and one of them has already reached the age of majority, only the other two children will be taken into account. The compensation amount in the above example will be 50% instead of the standard 70%.

An example of calculating the amount of compensation for kindergarten in 2021

It is easier to understand the features of calculating compensation for kindergarten using an example. So, first of all, it is necessary to determine the number of people who are members of an educational institution. For them, the state will provide a refund of part of the money. The subject has the right to independently determine the amount of compensation. However, it should not be less than the minimum fixed at the federal level in 2021. The more children there are in the kindergarten, the greater the amount of compensation will be.

For your information

To find out the amount of the payment, you will need to use the above formula. Initially, you need to divide the total cost of preschool services by the number of working days in a month. The resulting amount must be multiplied by the number of days that the child actually visited the organization.

Let’s say a minor citizen visited kindergarten for 20 days within a month. The cost of one month of stay in an educational institution is 1,500 rubles. There were 23 working days during the above period. The cost of one night's stay is 65 rubles 22 kopecks. In fact, parents spent 1304.4 rubles. (65.22 x 20). The child is the only offspring in the family. Based on this, the amount of compensation will be 260.88 rubles (1304.4 x 20: 100). This is the amount of money that will be transferred to the parents’ bank account.

How much can you expect?

The calculation of benefits depends on various factors:

• monthly parental fee (cost of services and average price);
• established percentage value (from 20 and above);
• category of family need.

The minimum amount is:

• for the first child – from 200 to 800 rubles;
• for the second – from 500 to 2000 rubles;
• for the third and subsequent ones - from 700 to 2800 rubles.

The maximum size is calculated at the regional level, and in some localities it is not available.

How is it calculated

To calculate the possible amount of compensation, the following information is required:

1. Average cost of kindergarten or price for preschool educational institution services.
2. Number of working days and days visited by the child in a month.
3. Return percentage.

Calculating the amount of subsidies is quite simple; let’s look at this using an example .

In March 2021 there were 20 working days, the price of kindergarten services is 1100 rubles per month. There are two children in the family, the second one attends kindergarten, which means the compensation will be 50%. The child was sick for 5 days. Simple calculation: (1000/20)*(20-5)*0.5=412.5. The deduction amount will be 412.5 rubles.

The money will be credited to the parents' account by the end of April, but only if they paid for March.

Who pays and when does it arrive?

The decision to provide money is made not by the kindergarten management, but by higher authorities (Department or Department of Education). Documents are processed within 30 days, after which the applicant must receive notification of a refusal or a positive decision.

If the district authorities refuse to accept the documents, then the citizen should submit the same package of papers and an application to social security.

Payments are transferred by the kindergarten through its accounting department. But you will have to confirm your right to receive a subsidy every quarter by providing the same documentation to the garden management.

Recalculation of funds

In many kindergartens, there is a recalculation of parental fees when a child does not attend the institution due to illness or other reasons.

For example: the baby fell ill on November 25, and remained on sick leave until the 30th. But earlier the parents paid the fee for the current month. The money will be returned next month, that is, six days will be paid in December.

For reference! The main condition for recalculation is to warn the teacher about the child’s absence for a certain period.

Compensation for failure to provide kindergarten

In 2021, the shortage of places in kindergartens becomes especially urgent. Very often it is not possible to place a child in a preschool organization at all. In some regions the issue becomes especially relevant. To help families cope with the problem, local authorities are ready to pay compensation for failure to provide a place in kindergarten. Payments are not provided at the regional level. If we consider compensation from a legal point of view, it will be auxiliary. Therefore, if parents are refused payment, they will not be able to appeal the decision.

Attention

Parents of the child and his official guardians can exercise the right to compensation for failure to provide a place in kindergarten in 2021. The issue of granting benefits is decided on an individual basis. The amount of money spent on raising a child is taken into account. The request will be approved if employees of the authorized bodies decide that the family needs additional funds. To obtain information about benefits, you must contact the social security office at your place of registration.

Answers to readers' questions

What to do when the regional department refuses to provide information?

If, after contacting the social security authorities, you are unable to receive an answer about the possibility of compensation for funds in your region, contact the city or local administration or the education department. Specialists are obliged to inform parents about the orders of the constituent entities of the Federation regarding the reimbursement of part of the kindergarten fee.

When does payment of benefits for failure to provide a place in a preschool educational institution stop?

There are 2 reasons for stopping these payments:

1. offered admission to kindergarten;
2. the minor has reached the age limit at which payments are cancelled.

The child’s father submitted an application for the KCHRP, the couple soon divorced, and the mother pays for the kindergarten. Is she entitled to a refund?

Since the documents are issued in the name of the father, the mother cannot demand the return of the KCHRP, even if she actually pays for the kindergarten. The father needs to write an application for refusal of compensation, and the mother needs to re-register the payments in her name.

What benefits are there for paying for daily wages?

Benefits vary depending on the decision of regional authorities. Typically, low-income people, large families, parents with disabilities, military personnel, and kindergarten employees can benefit from preferential pay.

Is there a statute of limitations? For example, a child is 3.5 years old and has only now been given the opportunity to attend kindergarten. The parent did not know about the compensation. Can he now apply for compensation for previously missed days?

No, the compensation payment is of a declarative nature. That is, it will be transferred only after submitting an application and the necessary documents, and approval of payments by the authorized body.

The family is registered in one region, but lives in another, for example, in Moscow. They do not provide places for the child and the parents sent them to a private kindergarten with all the necessary licenses. How and by whom is compensation calculated? Moscow, as the place of actual location or the region where the family is registered? And where to submit documents? If at the place of registration, is it possible to arrange all this via mail or through the Moscow MFC?

The situation is problematic. Typically, kindergarten is provided at the place of registration and compensation is paid there. It may be advisable to obtain temporary registration at your place of actual residence. If a private kindergarten has a license, compensation will be paid in the usual manner; documents can be submitted to the MFC.

We live in one city, but are registered in another. There are no licensed kindergartens at the place of actual residence and the child is at home with his parents. How to get compensation? Should I contact social security at my place of residence or go home where I am registered?

It is better to apply for a temporary registration, this will allow you to receive compensation for failure to provide a place in a preschool educational institution at your actual place of residence.

How does compensation for kindergarten affect the application of social benefits?

To receive government support, you must provide certificates of all family income for the last 3 (sometimes 6) months. Compensation for payment of preschool education is a social payment and is included in the calculation of average per capita family income, this is stated in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 512 of August 20, 2003. Consequently, the amount of the KCHRP may affect the excess of the established minimum wage for each family member. Such an excess is grounds for refusal to pay social benefits.

If compensation for kindergarten is overpaid, who should reimburse?

If the excess amount of KCHRP was accrued by mistake of an accountant who, for example, did not track the moment of change in the amount of compensation from 50 to 20% (when the eldest child reaches 18 years of age), then the overpayment can be withheld against subsequent payments only with the voluntary consent of the recipient. If the parent does not express such a desire, the accountant, as a financially responsible person, is obliged to compensate for the damage. Article 19 of Federal Law No. 81 “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children” explains that only those overpayments that occurred as a result of a calculation error or due to the recipient’s deliberate provision of false information are forcibly recovered.

Why is compensation for kindergarten less than 20 percent?

KCHRP cannot be less than 20%, but sometimes the calculation is made not from the amount actually paid, but from the average amount of parental pay established in the region. And this amount can be less than the actual payment for a child’s attendance at kindergarten.

Why is compensation for kindergarten added to income?

This happens on the basis of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 20, 2003 No. 512. According to it, KCHRP is a social payment and is included in the calculation when determining the average family income for each member.

If the compensation for the kindergarten is not fully transferred, where should I go?

Contact the accounting department or the head of the kindergarten for clarification. If information is not provided, contact the higher organization - Education Management.

Compensation for lack of a place in kindergarten in the regions

In 2021, the payment is not available in all regions. Thus, residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg will not be able to receive compensation for the lack of a place in kindergarten. This is due to the fact that there are a large number of preschool institutions in cities. The benefit is available in regions where there are not enough kindergartens. Residents can apply for payment:

• Perm;
• Arkhangelsk;
• Samara;
• Kirov;
• Tomsk;
• Yaroslavl.

Additional information
The list is not exhaustive. Experts advise to clarify the possibility of receiving benefits by contacting a representative of the social protection authority. The age at which a child can receive payments also varies. The period varies from 3 to 7 years. The question also needs to be clarified on an individual basis.

Legislation

Parents have the right to compensation if the first child (subsequent children) attends a public or private kindergarten. The amount of the refund depends on the cost of preschool education services and regional minimum payment indicators.

1. According to Part 5 of Article 65 No. 273-FZ of December 29, 2012, compensation is due to the child’s legal representatives (parents, guardians).
2. Part 5 art. 99 No. 273-FZ dated December 29, 2012 indicates the possibility of providing payments to parents whose children attend a private preschool educational institution.
3. The version of Federal Law No. 273 of June 16, 2019 indicates the amount of payments for the first and each subsequent child studying in a preschool educational institution.
4. Order No. 862 of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation talks about additional benefits and compensation for military personnel whose children attend kindergarten.
5. One of the significant regulations is 388-FZ. It makes changes for 2021 on the amount of the minimum compensation rate, clarifies the conditions under which it is issued and to whom it is due.

Federal payments

State legislation regulates benefits for different categories of families. Regional payments are also added to this amount. For example: for the first-born you can get 20 percent of the cost of the service.

The Ministry of Defense has set the benefit at 50% if one of the parents falls into the following category:

• participant in the liquidation of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant;
• preschool employee;
• undergoing conscription service.

The benefit is valid in all regions of the country; the money is transferred to the person who has entered into an agreement with the kindergarten. But the authorities that deal with the issue of compensation do not, alas, issue it to everyone.

For reference! Funds are mainly provided to large or low-income families. The main factor is the number of family members without income. If the kindergarten fee changes, the amount of compensation is adjusted.

Regional payments

Additional benefits are provided by law at the regional level, for example if there is no space.

The Constitution provides for a free education program in preschool educational institutions, and at the federal level the issue of compensation for failure to provide a place in the kindergarten has been discussed more than once, but it has not found a solution at the countrywide level. That is why programs of individual constituent entities of the Russian Federation began to operate.

Legislative acts in different regions of our country differ from each other in a number of requirements:

• child's age;
• amount of payment for the educational institution.

In many areas the size is 20%. So, in Sevastopol, compensation is equal to 30% of the city salary. This is a big plus for families with low income.

Compensation for private kindergarten

The lack of places in state preschool organizations forces parents to send their children to private kindergartens. The fees for such institutions are usually significantly higher. In 2021, the law allows you to receive compensation even if the child attends private institutions. However, the payment amount will be lower.

Attention

When calculating the required amount, only the average cost of similar services provided in state kindergartens is taken into account. The difference in payout can be significant. The fee for visiting private institutions includes all expenses. It can reach 20,000 rubles. and even exceed this amount. At the same time, the average fee for a state kindergarten is about 1000 rubles. Regardless of the actual payment, a person will only be able to receive 200 rubles. (20% of the amount).

The compensation scheme in 2021 in case of attending a private kindergarten will be standard. Parents will have to prepare a package of documentation and then contact the authorized body. The list of papers must include an application completed in accordance with the rules. Additionally, you will need to indicate the account details to which the funds will be transferred. The terms of accrual and the rules for provision will be exactly the same as for other residents of the region.

What will be the amount of compensation

If parents had to use the services of a private kindergarten due to the lack of budget places in a preschool educational institution, the state must pay such a family up to two minimum wages. Deputy Evgeny Fedorov came up with this idea.

It is still unknown when the bill will be considered and whether it will be adopted at all. Unfortunately, the current legislation contains many bureaucratic delays that must be taken into account when deciding to approve a deputy’s project.

The corresponding paper will pass through a number of departments before it ends up on the desk of the head of government.

Given the financial difficulties in the state budget due to the pandemic, Evgeniy Fedorov’s proposal risks being postponed indefinitely.

When is compensation transferred?

Features of accrual and payment are also fixed by law. The funds are transferred to the citizen’s bank account. Details must be provided during the application process. The information must be contained in the application. Funds will be transferred to the specified account number.

For your information

The action is performed once a month. Compensation is paid at the end of the period. Thus, payment for January will only be received in February. Funds are credited to the account at the end of the month. A person can specify the transfer date in advance. The action can be performed during the process of applying for benefits. Questions about the timing of the transfer must be asked to an authorized employee of the body to which the application is made.

Procedure for appointment and procedure for payment of compensation

There is a certain procedure for assigning and paying compensation for a child’s attendance at kindergarten.

After submitting all necessary documents, the following steps are performed:

1. All copies of the documents provided are certified by the seal of the preschool educational institution in accordance with the originals (the originals are returned to the applicant).
2. According to the submitted documents, lists of applicants are formed and sent to the city authorities of education, social protection of the population, as well as to district administrations.
3. Quarterly, updated lists of recipients of compensation for the maintenance of a child in a preschool institution are submitted to the above services, indicating the parental payment actually made.

Compensation is paid at the end of the month following the month of payment. That is, compensation for December will come to the bank account at the end of January, and so on.

Regional programs of private kindergartens 2021

The state is striving to change the current trend and provide all needy citizens with kindergartens. Thus, private preschool educational institutions can receive state support if they provide budget places for children who do not have enough places in standard kindergartens. Similar proposals were sent to the Ministry of Economic Development. However, we have not received any support yet.

Regions also have the right to implement their own programs within the framework of state ones. Thus, local authorities have the right to increase the amount of compensation for persons who are forced to send their child to a private kindergarten. Additional assistance to parents is provided in regions where there is a particularly severe shortage of places in kindergartens. You can find out about the presence of additional regional programs by contacting the territorial division of the social security service or the local administration.
