Are pregnant women entitled to unemployment benefits and how to get them?

Expectant mothers belong to a socially vulnerable category of the population. And while a working pregnant woman can count on payments during maternity leave, this does not apply to the unemployed. According to the law, a pregnant woman cannot be fired (Article 261 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), but she can quit of her own free will. There are also cases when a woman finds out about her pregnancy while unemployed. It is being considered whether she will be eligible for unemployment benefits.

Changes in payments from 2020

In 2021, families for their first and second child will be able to receive payments until they turn 3 years old. The amounts of all other child and pregnancy benefits will increase, since from 2021 the minimum wage amount has increased to 12,130 rubles. New rules for compensation payments:

  1. Parents of children born after January 1, 2021 will be paid monthly payments if the average family income does not exceed two minimum wages established in their region of residence. In this case, the minimum wage for the second quarter of the previous year is taken as a basis. In 2021, these benefits were received only by those families whose average income was less than 1.5 times the minimum income. Now the number of families applying for payments and meeting the conditions will be many times greater.
  2. In 2021, payments for children are received until they reach the age of 3. But to qualify for these benefits, you need annual proof of income for all family members. Payments for the first child are issued by the social protection authorities, and for the second - by the Pension Fund. When calculating the amount of cash assistance, the cost of living for children in the second quarter of the previous year is taken as a basis.

In 2021, payments were issued only for children up to the age of 1.5 years.

How can a non-working grandmother go on maternity leave?

It often happens that a parent cannot, for some reason, leave her place of work and go on postpartum maternity leave. It is at such moments that close relatives come to the rescue.

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation makes it possible for not only the mother, but also the father and even the grandmother to go on parental leave to care for a small child. At the same time, it is necessary to understand that if the grandmother does not work, she will not be provided with payments. The exception is the death of parents.

So all that a family can count on is social benefits for families with low incomes, compensation for feeding a child until the age of three, and in some regions of the country even a deduction of a certain percentage from the amount that the family pays for the use of utilities.

What other innovations came into force in 2021

Innovations for other payments for children, which were adopted by legislators and have already entered into force in 2021:

  1. Raising the minimum income . The minimum wage has increased since 2021, and on its basis the amount of other benefits, for example, for pregnancy and childbirth, is calculated. This year, the lowest average daily income, which is taken as the basis for calculating benefits, is 398.79 rubles, and last year this amount was 370.85 rubles.
  2. New maximum average income. The maximum amount of financial assistance for pregnant and postpartum women is also increasing. For 2019 and 2021, the highest insurance premiums were 865 and 815 thousand rubles. Based on these numbers, the average daily maximum income will be 2301.37 rubles. The largest benefit during maternity leave will be 322,191.80 rubles. In 2021, the maximum benefit was 21 thousand rubles less.

Also, from February 1, 2021, the amounts of other fixed payments will change. They depend on the coefficient, which this year is 1030.

Who is eligible to receive benefits?

Unemployed pregnant women do not receive benefits from the state. But there are several conditions under which an unemployed pregnant Russian woman will be able to receive financial assistance from the budget:

  • Women who were fired due to the cessation of the company's activities or the complete liquidation of the employer's company can count on maternity payments;
  • benefits are paid to girls who are studying full-time in secondary specialized, vocational or higher educational institutions.

In all other cases, unemployed women are not paid benefits.

The amount of payments to an unemployed pregnant woman depends on individual conditions and the income she currently receives:

ConditionsPayment amount
Upon dismissal due to termination of the enterprise, as well as former notaries and lawyers300 rubles per month
When studying full-timeIn the amount of the scholarship

This procedure and types of payments are approved in Articles 6 and 8 of Federal Law No. 81.

Legal regulation

The main law regulating maternity payments in 2021 is the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In addition, unemployed expectant mothers are a special category of recipients, which means that other regulations apply to them:

  • Federal Law No. 255, dedicated to the procedure and features of compulsory insurance of employees, as well as the payment system;
  • Order of the Ministry of Social Development and Health No. 1012n, establishing the procedure for assigning and paying benefits to citizens who have children;
  • Local acts operating at the municipal level and issued by the Administration of the locality or social service.

The laws do not provide for maternity payments to pregnant non-working women ; however, as an alternative, the state establishes other forms of compensation, which will be discussed below.

Where to apply for payments to the unemployed

In order for a non-working woman to receive maternity benefits, she must contact the social security department at her place of residence. Full-time students must visit the accounting office at their place of study.

To apply for maternity leave and benefits, you must submit the following documents:

  • a statement written by hand or with a handwritten signature;
  • sick leave, which is filled out by a medical institution according to established requirements;
  • an extract from the work book, if available, indicating the last place of work;
  • confirmation from the tax office that the enterprise has been liquidated or the individual entrepreneur has ceased work;
  • a document confirming the fact of absence of work, it is provided at the employment center;
  • a certificate from an educational institution stating that the pregnant student is a full-time student.

After submitting the documentation, the institution reviews the application and attached papers. Before the expiration of 10 days, a decision is made on the accrual of payments or refusal if the papers contain errors.

Women who were fired due to the liquidation of the company are paid maternity benefits by postal order or into a bank account. To do this, in the text of the application you will need to indicate the bank card number or bank account where to transfer the money. The deadline for receiving payments is the 26th of the next month.

Federal benefits for all women in 2021

Benefits for children and pregnant women are paid from the federal and regional budgets. All Russians can count on federal payments, while regional ones are set by local authorities for residents of their territorial district.

Federal payments and benefits that pregnant women and postpartum women receive:

  1. When registering up to 12 weeks - 675 rubles from February 1, 2021. These payments should motivate young mothers to register with the antenatal clinic as early as possible to monitor the health of the baby and the expectant mother. This amount is fixed, it is the same for residents of the entire country.
  2. Maternity payments - in the amount of 100% of average income. Working young mothers are given maternity benefits when they provide sick leave. The duration of maternity leave depends on several parameters. Such as the complexity of childbirth or postpartum consequences, surgical intervention, the number of children born at the same time. Sick leave for childbirth can last from 140 to 194 days.
  3. Payments at birth - 18,004 rubles from February 1, 2020. This is a benefit for one child. If twins are born, the amount is doubled; if triplets are born, the amount is tripled, that is, the amount is paid for each child born.
  4. Payments to the wives of military personnel - 28,511 rubles from February 1, 2021. You can apply for this payment if your pregnancy is at least 180 days old. After the end of the spouse’s service, the woman in labor has the right to apply for payments within 6 months.
  5. Maternity capital - 453,025 rubles for children born after January 1, 2007. This benefit was adopted to improve the demographic situation and stimulate childbearing in Russia, since payments are issued only after the birth of a second child.

An officially unemployed pregnant woman will be able to qualify for all types of payments listed, except for the second, if the described conditions are met.

One-time benefit for a child from 3 to 16 years old

At the moment, during the pandemic and self-isolation regime, a one-time payment is provided for each child aged 3 to 16 years, which is established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 04/07/2020 N 249 “On additional measures of social support for families with children.”

Payments in the amount of 10,000 rubles are made starting from June 1, 2020 to citizens of the Russian Federation living in the Russian Federation for each child aged 3 to 16 years who has citizenship of the Russian Federation (provided the child reaches the age of 16 before July 1, 2021 ).

You can submit an application for a one-time payment until October 1, 2021 through your personal account on the Unified Portal of State and Municipal Services.”

On a note. A one-time payment is not taken into account as part of the income of the families of payment recipients when providing them with other measures of social support.

Monthly payments

In addition to the payments listed in the previous section, women can receive:

  1. Payments for child care up to 1.5 years old - 40% of average income for the last 2 years. But, as when calculating maternity payments, the average minimum and maximum amount is calculated for them.
  2. Compensation for children under 3 years old is in the amount of the subsistence minimum for the second quarter of the previous year.

These payments are financed from the budget of the Russian Federation. All mothers, including unemployed women, can receive them, but under certain conditions. The following are not entitled to payments from the state:

  • citizens of Russia, foreigners or stateless persons who have been deprived of their parental rights;
  • Russian citizens who have moved for permanent residence to another country;
  • foreigners, citizens of Russia or stateless persons whose children are supported entirely at the expense of public funds.

All other women who are not on this list may qualify for benefits. If the expectant mother is single, then she is provided with other types of government payments.

Do I need to notify a labor department inspector about pregnancy?

Pregnancy cannot be a reason for dismissal!

It cannot be said that pregnancy is a guarantee that a person will not remain unemployed until the end of maternity leave. Knowing how to apply to the labor exchange correctly, there is always a chance of finding a job.

If a woman still cannot find a job, she is obliged to provide assistance from social protection, which is provided by the state. You have the right not to notify the service about your pregnancy.

However, an employer who subsequently learns about your situation may create working conditions that are incompatible with your physical condition, and you yourself will prefer to leave work.

By law, pregnancy cannot be a reason for refusal of employment, so the decision to speak or not lies entirely on the conscience of the pregnant woman.

Regional payments

Each federal subject has its own regional benefits. In some regions, the government has established maternity capital for 2 and 3 children born after January 1, 2011. In the Moscow region, for example, the amount of this payment is 100 thousand rubles.

The authorities in Nizhny Novgorod also pay regional capital. It is received by families in which the second child was born after September 1, 2011. But the amount of this monetary compensation is less than in Moscow. It is 25 thousand rubles. And for the third and subsequent children, maternity capital increases to 100 thousand rubles. The procedure for receiving regional payments is established separately for each constituent entity of Russia.

Regional payments are assigned simultaneously with federal ones. Therefore, residents of the regions receive double subsidies from the state. However, not everywhere regional authorities decide on additional incentives for families.

      Dear Anastasia, getting a job would be the best option. It is likely that maternity benefits will be paid to you in a larger amount. The amount of payments will be calculated based on average earnings over the last two years. If you do not work officially, social security will provide you with payments. In this case, they will be equal to the cost of living in your region.

    Good afternoon I came across information on the Internet that from June 2020, the amount of childcare benefits for children up to 1.5 years has been increased to 13.5 thousand for those who were left without work during maternity leave due to the liquidation of the organization. Is this true? I haven’t received a payment yet, but social security hasn’t answered this question.

      Dear Alena, as a general rule, the amount of child care benefits is 40% of average earnings. In some cases, the payment is made in a fixed amount. From January 1, 2021, the maximum amount of care allowance is 29,600 rubles 48 kopecks. Mothers dismissed during pregnancy due to the liquidation of the organization are entitled to benefits in the specified amount. A social security employee will help you calculate the amount of benefits on the basis of Federal Law No. 255-FZ “On Compulsory Social Insurance in Case of Temporary Disability and in Connection with Maternity”, Federal Law No. 81-FZ “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children” and the Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 668n “On approval of the Procedure and conditions for the appointment and payment of state benefits to citizens with children.”

Thus, you can receive a lump sum payment at the birth of a child and for child care. There are also regional payments, a full list of which can be found in the social service of your locality.

If you resign on other grounds, you can count on all payments that are not made at the expense of the employer.

      Dear Victoria, you are entitled to several types of payments. In particular, a one-time payment at the birth of a child, child care benefits up to 1.5 years old and regional payments (if they are established). In addition, you can receive benefits based on your average per capita income for the 12 months that elapsed 6 months before the date of application, which does not exceed two regional subsistence minimums. Detailed advice will be provided to you by the social security service of your city.

      Dear Natalya, mothers who are full-time students are paid from the funds of the Federal Social Insurance Fund of Russia, which are allocated to the educational institution in accordance with the established procedure. The benefit is accrued based on the application of the student mother and the decision of the educational institution to grant academic leave. The law does not establish a student’s obligation to take an academic course; this does not affect the payment of benefits.

      Dear Nastya, you can contact the employment center up to 30 weeks of pregnancy. Your benefits will be calculated based on your previous work experience and average earnings. Benefits will also be paid for up to 30 weeks.

      Dear Antonina, if it is discovered that the receipt of social benefits for unemployment was groundless or that the order of receipt has been violated, the funds paid to the citizen must be returned. You can voluntarily return illegally received social payments by setting a deadline for repayment of the resulting debt. But if you refuse to repay the money, the employment service has the right to collect the debt in court.

    01/13/2020 She was laid off due to the liquidation of the enterprise and immediately registered with the employment center. I still haven’t found a job; I’m still registered with the center. I am now 15 weeks pregnant. Therefore, it is not possible to find a seisas job, because... no one wants to employ a pregnant woman. In such cases, payments are due for sick leave before and after childbirth, which is 140 days.?

      Dear Albina, if you did not have an official job, then you are not entitled to such a maternity benefit. But you have the right to count on other benefits - a lump sum for the birth of a child or for child care.

      Dear client, we do not have information about your social status, financial situation and regional support programs at your place of registration. It is for this reason that we recommend contacting the social security authorities to receive the most detailed advice.

      Dear Natalya, you need to seek advice from the social security service of your city. Some payments may be established at the local level.
