What benefits and benefits can be used by large families in 2016?

According to the census (as of 2016), the number of large families in the Russian Federation is 1.25 million of the total population of the country. These include those who raise three or more minor children. All of them receive state support. Let's find out the answers to frequently asked questions on this topic: how to get the status of a large family, what documents need to be drawn up, what benefits citizens who fall into this category of the population can expect in 2016.

Large family status: how to get (as of 2016)?

A large family is a family in which at least three minor children are brought up. To obtain the status of this category of the population, it is necessary to make an appropriate decision, which the regional authorities take. To assign this status, they rely on several factors.

1. The number of children brought up in a family, taking into account the demographic characteristics of a particular region. There are always exceptions, in some republics of Russia (for example, in Mari El) fertility statistics show that three children in the same family are routine, therefore they will be considered to be large only after the birth (appearance in the family by guardianship, adoption) of a fourth minor child.
2. Children's age. Only children under 18 years of age can be included in the number of those taken into account when calculating the number of children brought up in a large family. However, upon receipt of secondary (special, higher) education by him and the proven fact that an adult child does not bring income to the family, parents can apply for some benefits.
3. Income level. With insufficient income in the family, regardless of the number of children brought up in it, the regional authorities may decide to assign the status of “Poor”. This category of citizens also benefits.

When a family is assigned the status of “Large”, the Department of Social Protection (social protection of the population) at the place of residence issues an appropriate certificate. To receive it, you must bring the appropriate documents (birth certificates of children, passports of parents, application).

The amount of assistance that can be received by large families is calculated based on the capabilities of the regional budget, which is scheduled for the year ahead.
