To receive a monthly child allowance,you need to contact the regional branch of the social protection authorities. Important! You can not go to any branch, but only to the one to which the address of a residence permit of one of the parents relates. Allowances for children under 18 years of age must be paid to children from low-income families, single mothers, children of military personnel and those whose parents are convicted of evading payment of alimony. There are also separate benefits for children and parents with disabilities, payments for the loss of a bread-winner in the event of the death of one of the parents. All funds are transferred to the bank account specified by the applicant (or postal items). In addition to cash payments, there are also social benefits for low-income families: provision of places in kindergartens and schools, rest on special conditions and treatment in sanatoriums and resorts.

How to apply for children under 18?
To receive monthly compensationpayment, it is necessary to prepare a number of documents. You will need originals and copies of the passport of the parent (or guardian) issuing the allowance, and birth certificates (or passports) of all minor children in the family. A certificate is required on the composition of the family (it is made when you apply to the passport office, and the period of its relevance is one calendar month). Documents will also be required to confirm the income (or its complete absence) for each of the parents. These are: references from work, extracts from labor books or certificates from the Pension Fund. If one of the parents does not work, but at the same time gets an education, then it is required to submit a certificate from the educational institution or from the Employment Center.
If a child allowance under the age of 18 isloss of a breadwinner or in case the parent evades payment of maintenance payments, it will be necessary to provide a certificate of the death of the parent (or a certificate from the court). Single mothers will also have to confirm their status with the appropriate certificate. For payments for the care of a disabled child (or an HIV-infected person), appropriate medical documents are provided. If the family is disabled not only one or both parents, but also the child (children), then certificates or extracts from the medical history will be needed.
When you make a document, do not forget thatchild allowance under 18 years is paid only if the child is a student of any educational institution. If the child does not study, the payments are terminated on the day of reaching the age of 16 years.
