Foreign mothers can receive maternity payments in Russia

How to get 18 thousand rubles for the birth of a child?

In 2021, like other maternity payments, the benefit was indexed, and currently its amount is 18,004.12 rubles. Both the mother and the father of the baby can receive this benefit. In this case, the recipient of the payment must provide a certificate from the work of the other parent confirming that he was not assigned this benefit. The question is what to do if it is not possible to obtain such a certificate from the second parent.

“I am divorced from the father of my unborn child, our relationship is tense. But, as I was told, to apply for a one-time benefit at the birth of a child, you need a certificate that confirms that the baby’s father did not receive this money. How should I deal with such a situation?” asked one of the residents of Kotlas.

The Foundation expert answers: To receive a one-time benefit at the birth of a child, it is enough to provide a certificate of divorce and a document confirming the child’s cohabitation on the territory of the Russian Federation with the parent who will receive the benefit (in this case, the mother). Such a document, as a rule, is an extract from the house register issued by the housing maintenance organization.

Are payments available to foreign mothers?

A large number of foreign citizens currently live and work in the Russian Federation. Naturally, it is important for foreign women to understand whether they are entitled to maternity benefits.

“I came to work in Russia from Belarus and officially got a job as a salesperson in a grocery store. Tell me, if I have a child, will I receive maternity and child benefits in Russia?” another reader asked.

The Foundation expert answers : Starting from January 1, 2015, foreign citizens temporarily staying in the territory of the Russian Federation and working under employment contracts are insured in the compulsory social insurance system. However, they are entitled to receive only temporary disability benefits (that is, sick leave payments for illness or injury). And only if the employer paid insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation for a period of at least 6 months preceding the month of the onset of temporary disability.

However, citizens of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan) have the right to receive all types of compulsory social insurance benefits in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity insured events, regardless of the legal status of stay in the territory of the Russian Federation. That is, young mothers with citizenship of the Republic of Belarus will receive both maternity payments and all other maternity benefits, including child care benefits for up to 1.5 years. Naturally, payments will be assigned provided that the woman works under an employment contract and her employer regularly pays contributions to the Social Insurance Fund.

Migrants born in Russia will receive Russian citizenship

Referring to the Constitution of Russia, a number of human rights organizations appealed to the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs with a request to grant the children of Russian migrants citizenship by right of birth in the Russian Federation. The Basic Law, as is known, is written for the citizens of the country, and why it should apply to the whole world is not explained. But, as ““ reports, the corresponding initiative is being studied in the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Migration Issues and soon promises to receive legislative registration.

We are talking, apparently, about giving the children of migrants the opportunity to retain the citizenship of their country, despite receiving documents from their historical homeland. After all, according to the law “On Citizenship”, children of foreigners born in Russia already have the opportunity to receive a birth certificate from our country in the event that the state of the mother in labor does not grant them citizenship.

In addition, the authorities will have to work on applying this right, making it easier, since by granting Russian citizenship to a child, migrant women may lose their child if their stay in Russia is illegal. At the moment of receiving the documents, problems with the documents “pop up”, which can result in deportation and separation from the child, already a citizen of Russia. As a result, in order to return the child to them for the child, the citizenship of the historical homeland. In fact, obtaining Russian citizenship by birthright is now difficult for illegal migrants, and the initiative of human rights organizations is intended to make it easy.

What is all this for? To provide young foreigners with rights equal to those of Russian children, rights to public healthcare and education. Already today, but those who managed to provide the documents required by law, that is, to one degree or another, legal migrants.

In Russia in 2021, about 12 million visitors are in the country. However, only 127 thousand people received official work permits. You can imagine how the ratio of students at the school will change in favor of visitors when human rights organizations get their way.

In 2021, about 147 thousand children will be born in Russia, of which about 10% are children of migrants from the countries of the former USSR. One could say that after the adoption of the planned decisions, another 15 thousand legalized small guest workers will appear in Russia - but no, there will be much more of them, because the country’s glory as a comfortable “maternity hospital for guest workers” will attract here a huge number of people who want to ensure a bright future for their children at the expense of the Russians. The expenses for this will be carried out at the expense of Russian taxpayers, right?

Protecting children's rights is a wonderful, kind and bright cause. But charity must have limits to what a country can afford.

At the same time, we fully support another reminder of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which should ensure the rights of Russian children.

Childbirth of foreigners in Russia

However, before this, it is worth observing formalities. It is necessary to translate and properly authenticate documents confirming the identity of the parents.

An insurance policy for the birth of foreigners is issued on the terms of compulsory or voluntary medical insurance. Compulsory insurance (CHI) is issued if a foreigner has a residence permit or temporary residence permit. When a woman comes to work in the Russian Federation, a voluntary health insurance policy (VHI) will be required.
