According to the Federal Law "On State Benefits to Citizens", any parent, guardian or relative caring for the child in 2012 is entitled to receive a childcare allowance up to one and a half years. Because the employer has the right to pay such a benefit to one of the parents who decided to take a vacation to care for the child.
This non-working person can receive this benefit in social protection organizations in the place of residence, with the obligatory condition that they at that moment no longer receive unemployment benefits. The decision on whether a compensation payment will be made must be made within 10 days from the day when the documents were submitted to the administration of the enterprise or social protection authorities. If the employee works part-time or works at home, then the allowance should be presented to him in the usual way.
The allowance is accrued on the day following the boundary day, which is indicated on the sick leave and maternity leave card. From the same day begins the countdown of leave issued for the care of the child, which ends when the child turns 18 months old. If care is provided for more than one child, all benefits are added, but the total amount of the benefit can not be more than one hundred percent of the average earnings and lower than the total minimum amount of this benefit.
The procedure for payment of a special in 2012
It is necessary to apply for the benefit no later than six months from the moment when the child has reached the age of one and a half, that is, before he is two years old. If this period is missed, the allowance will not be paid. A woman can use the leave issued for the care of a child either in full or in parts. If the leave was interrupted by going to work, then the allowance can not be received. If the woman used the leave in part, then after going to work, if there is an intention to resume it, she has the right to receive payments of the rest. She can work part-time, while retaining her right to receive this allowance. Similarly, the allowance is maintained even if it has decided to continue the education. The entire period of leave for childcare is added to the total length of service. If a woman works in an enterprise, the allowance will be paid each month on the same day as wages. If there are several jobs, then the benefit is paid by the employer, which the recipient chooses. In this case, if the allowance is assigned to one of the employers, the insured person must provide a certificate stating that other policyholders do not pay this benefit.
Benefit for child care in 2012: the procedure for calculating benefits
Since the beginning of 2011, the procedure for the payment and calculation of benefits for child care has been changed. Benefits are accrued depending on the average income of the insured person, which is calculated for 730 previous days (that is, for 2 previous years). The average earnings include any remuneration and payments to which insurance contributions to the FSS have been made.
For a person who has been insured and wishes to take a vacation in 2012 to care for a child, the calculation takes the amount of charges taxable from the beginning of 2010 to the end of 2011. When calculating for each year, the average earnings are taken as the total amount, which should not exceed the limit for insurance premiums in the FSS. The limit of the amount in 2010 was equal to 415 thousand rubles, in 2011 it increased to 463 thousand rubles. The resulting values are added, after which the sum is divided by 730, thus getting the average earnings per day.
In 2012, the lower limit of the monthly allowance for caring for a child with non-working parents is 2326 rubles for the first child, and for the next child 4652.99 rubles.
In 2012, the maximum allowance for childcare after reaching a year and a half is 14625 rubles.
In the period from 01.01.2011 to 31.12.2012 a woman can choose herself according to what rules the amount of the benefit will be calculated - according to the "old" or "new" ones.
