What is maternity capital? What documents are needed to obtain maternity capital?

Maternity capital is support from the state for Russian citizens whose family has been supplemented with a second, third or subsequent child born or adopted since 2007. The means are paid once per family, regardless of the age of the previous children (they may be adults). Starting in 2012, the amount of payments is indexed annually taking into account inflation.

Certificate

To confirm the legality of obtaining family capital in the RF PF issued a certificate of the state-established sample. To obtain this document, you can apply to the PF after the second or next child was born (or was adopted) at any time. This document certifies that the family has the right to benefit from state support.

Conditions for obtaining

In order to receive state support funds, it is necessary to observe the terms of the parent capital approved by the government:

• The woman who gave birth to the second or next child (or adopted) should be a Russian citizen (residence does not matter).
• In case of adoption, she can not be a stepmother.
• The child must be a citizen of the Russian Federation.
• A man who has adopted the second or next child alone can get family capital.
• If a woman is deprived of parental rights, the possibility of receiving state support passes to the father or adoptive parent of children, citizenship does not matter.
• A man can receive MK also in case of death of a woman.
• Family capital is distributed among the children in the same parts, if the father and mother (or adoptive parents) have lost parental rights, or in connection with their death.

Documents for obtaining a certificate

In order to issue a certificate, you need to submit documents to the Pension Board at your place of residence. What documents are needed to obtain maternity capital? The list is as follows:

Having collected all the necessary documents for obtaining maternity capital and passing them to the territorial agency of the PF, you will only have to wait for the decision. According to the law, the employees of the fund themselves make copies of all documents, and the originals return.

Usually the application is reviewed within a month. If the decision is positive, then within 5 days you receive a notification of the issuance of the certificate. At the same time you will be informed of the refusal. The date of issue must be indicated in the notification of receipt.
If you do not have the opportunity to personally provide all the documents, copies certified by a notary may be mailed or sent with a trustee.

Why can they refuse?

• Inaccurate information specified in the application;
• Deprivation of the right to education of previous children by law;
• The child is not a citizen of Russia;
• The certificate has already been issued for your family before.

Be extremely careful when completing the application. The information inscribed on the form must be true and accurate. Corrections are not allowed.

Consideration of all documents is strictly individual. In case of refusal, PF employees are obliged to explain reasonably to you the reason for which they refused. Most not all documents are provided. Employees explain what documents are needed to obtain a certificate for maternity capital additionally. If you are not satisfied with their answer, then consult a lawyer.

How can I use MK?

• Improve housing conditions;
• On the funded part of the certificate holder's pension;
• Pay for the education of children;
• You can not pay for the purchase of a car.

Cash is not given directly to the hands. This avoids the use of the child as a means of obtaining cash or other financial fraud.

Use MK possible only after reaching a child of three years of age. Since 2009, the exception is the payment of mortgage loan contributions.
