A woman who, due to circumstances or of her own free will, decided to raise a child alone has the right to count on additional social and financial support from the state. What benefits are available to a single mother in 2019? More on this later.

Who is a single mother?

IN modern Russia women raising children without the participation of a father are no longer a rarity - they account for at least 30% of families. However, not every woman is considered a single mother by law, since this concept has a strict definition. Hence the conflicts that arise due to a misunderstanding of the meaning of this status.

So, who is eligible for single mother benefits in 2019?

There is no legal definition of “single mother” or “single mother”. To be officially recognized as a single mother, you must meet the following requirements:

Be divorced from your spouse for more than 300 days or not have a husband at all.
Do not have a written document from the father indicating his relationship with the child.
Do not have a court opinion on the fact of paternity.

In other words, only a woman whose children were born outside of a marriage union is considered a single mother, and the “father” column in the birth documents is empty. In such cases, the civil registry office employees registering the child issue the mother a certificate in a special form 25, confirming her single status.

If a baby is born in an official marriage, his mother can officially become “single” only by a court decision that has established the fact that there is no relationship between the woman’s husband and her baby. Thus, the child's father does not need to be officially identified.

Let us list the situations when society mistakenly considers a woman a single mother:

The couple divorced, after which ex-woman doesn't receive from ex-husband child support and raising their common children alone.
The child was born out of wedlock, but less than 300 days have passed since the divorce or death of the spouse. In such situations, the father of the child will be legally recognized ex-spouse, even if he is not biologically related to the baby.
The baby's parents are not officially spouses, but the man does not abandon the child and officially recognizes his paternity.
Dad has been deprived of parental rights.

Typical design mistakes

Mistake #1. Before applying for low-income benefits, a woman calculated her average per capita income, including the earnings of her new husband, who did not adopt her children, and came to the conclusion that she was not entitled to low-income benefits.

In the case where the new spouse of a former single mother does not adopt her child, his salary should not be taken into account when calculating the average per capita income of the family.

Mistake #2. A single mother has applied for a refund of her rent while she is renting informally without a tenancy agreement.

The condition for providing compensation for rented housing is its registration under a rental agreement with the payment of tax on income by the lessor.

Answers to common questions

Question No. 1. Where is the money transferred after the application for government benefits in Moscow is approved?

The amounts of all state benefits are credited to the Muscovite’s social card.

Question No. 2. When should documents be submitted for the assignment of Moscow social benefits for children to single mothers?

Some payments must be made before the child is 6 months old, others - up to 12 months. The general recommendation is that you should not apply for benefits if the crediting of funds to the account begins in the last months of maternity leave, otherwise the B&R benefit will be taken into account when calculating family income, which will lead to a reduction in the amount of payments or a refusal to assign them .

Can they refuse?

If the social security authority decides to refuse to provide certain payments, the single mother will be given a written notice with the reason for the refusal.

Often the refusal is given because the documents contain incorrect information, or the woman gets married and the new husband adopts her child.

The reasons must be indicated. If this is not the case, the woman can go to court.

Often the refusal is temporary - that is, additional documents are required to be presented, after which the case will be reconsidered. A complete refusal is possible if the status of a single mother has not been obtained, or if data falsification has been detected.

Only citizens of the Russian Federation living in Moscow can take advantage of benefits and allowances. Other regions have different rates and benefits. It may take about a month to complete the paperwork and receive a response.
