Putin’s allowance

This post discusses Russian President Vladimir Putin's allowance, which he granted himself in an executive order recently. The allowance of 6.7 million is based on the annual budget of Russia and gives him an annual salary equal to Russia's highest-paid government officials. This allowance has sparked controversy about its transparency and if it should be used to benefit the Russian people.

What are presidential benefits for children

When is the allowance assigned?

At the end of 2017, Federal Law No. 418-ФЗ On Monthly Payments to Families with Children was adopted. We developed it on the instructions of President V.V. Putin. According to this document, from the beginning of 2018, monthly benefits are assigned to Russian families with children.

The people gave them the eloquent name “presidential payments”.

This is additional cash that is added to other children’s benefits. The allowance is provided only for the birth or adoption of the first and second child before reaching the age of one and a half years. Its value is equal to the children’s cost of living for last year’s second quarter in the region under consideration.

Payments for 1 child

First child allowance

Only low-income families have the right to receive Putin’s allowance for the first-born. It is paid to a woman for a newborn up to one and a half years. This money does not cancel the appointment of other amounts, such as maternity, childcare. The subsidy is carried out from the state budget in two stages. First you need to complete the design up to a year.

After 12 months, parents will have to reapply for a subsequent payment..

Allowance for 2 children

Payments from the capital

A low-income family also has bonuses for a second newborn. They are paid out of the amount of maternity capital. To save it in full, you can not draw up Putin’s allowance. However, it is intended only for families that fit certain criteria. For example, taking into account the priority of the child in relation to the woman.

If the couple has a second joint baby, but the mother is the third, then the child benefit will not be assigned.
