The amount of maternity capital

Parents understand that the upbringing of children requires financial expenses, because many are preparing in advance for replenishment in the family. And this also lies in the study of information on possible options for assistance, which, in case of which, you can count on. Maternity capital is a state support program that allows families to solve some very acute issues. It is quite normal that potential moms and dads try to find out in advance the specifics of the appointment of this aid. They are also interested in the amount of maternity capital that is allocated to young parents. After all, it will enable you to plan your future.

Assignment of maternity capital

This program started in 2007. It should contribute to improving the demographic situation, as well as helping families develop their well-being. Support is provided to parents if the newborn in their family is not the first child. That is, a family with more than one child can get help. It is only important to remember that the registration of the certificate is possible once. If parents want, they can ask for help at the birth of a third baby, not the second.

You can not spend money at your discretion, because the legislation provided for several options for using the certificate:

• family can improve their living conditions, it also provides for the possibility of reconstructing a private house, paying a mortgage;
• you can spend money on the maternity pension;
• since 2016 there is an innovation allowing the use of a certificate for adapting a child with disabilities, as well as housing equipment, taking into account the needs of such children;
• you can pay for the child's education, not just the one for which the certificate was received.

It is interesting to know what the amount of maternity capital is today. By law, the amount of assistance, as well as balances on unused certificates should be indexed. But due to the budget deficit this year, no indexation was carried out. This means that the exact amount of maternity capital in 2016 is 453 026 thousand rubles, that is, as in 2015.

In the future, indexation is assumed. If it is implemented, the amount of maternity capital for 2017 will be 480 thousand rubles.

Future of the program

Such support was planned to be held until 2016. But at the moment, the maternity capital was extended until 2018, and its amount will be about 505 thousand rubles. But there are fears that in 2017-2018 there will be no indexation, as in 2016.

Also, many are worried about what will happen to the program after 2018. There are several possible scenarios for the development of events. Some suggest that this type of assistance will be canceled, but it is likely that support will continue to be provided, but only in a slightly modified form. For example, the use of certificates will change or the circle of recipients will be narrowed. So the options are considered to receive a part of the money once, buy a piece of land, domestic cars, make repairs, provide the supply of communications to housing.

Sometimes there are various bills that suggest different changes in the program. For example, one of the proposals was to raise the amount of mothers to 1.5 million rubles in 2017, but to register them not for the second and subsequent children, but starting with the third. But this bill was rejected.

So it is important to know the conditions for processing assistance, as well as how much is the parent capital, where it can be spent.
