I am a single mother. I gave birth to a child in a civil marriage and did not write down the father on the baby’s birth certificate.
Veronica Netsova
single parent
I thought that the state supports single mothers and helps them financially. It turned out that my mother can count on financial assistance only if she does not work or works for a small salary.
In 2018, I received 33 thousand rubles from the state. But I lost the right to the largest cash payments when I went back to work full time.
I'll tell you about my experience.
Benefits for single fathers
Men who raise a child alone can also count on benefits. If the document uses the wording “single parent”, “single parent”, “single-parent family”, then the benefit is given to both a single mother and a single father. For example, a single father can take advantage of tax benefits.
But only mothers have some labor guarantees: the law uses the wording “single mother.”
What's in the text
Who is eligible for benefits?
In Russia there is no single source that would say who a single mother is and what help she can count on. There are no separate federal benefits either.
There is also confusion in concepts: in different documents there are the formulations “single parent”, “single parent”, “single mother”, “single-parent family”. And the meanings of these terms also differ. Interpretations depend on the area of application - social security, labor or tax law, on the type of benefit and even on the region.
According to the labor code single mothers can count on relaxations in work. But who is considered a single mother - a divorced woman or the mother of a child whose father has died - is not specified.
The Plenum of the Supreme Court had to decipher this term: a single mother is a woman who raises a child without a father. For example, if the child's father died, is deprived parental rights, incapacitated, in prison or simply not involved in education. That is, the father may be listed according to documents and be alive. But mom is considered single, and it’s harder to fire her.
In the tax code Another concept is already encountered - a single parent. There is no decryption there either, but the Ministry of Finance provided it. A double deduction for children can be given only if there is no second parent at all: he is not indicated in the documents, died or is missing. But a deduction will be given if information about the father is included in the birth certificate according to the words of the mother and this is confirmed by a certificate from the registry office in form No. 2.
If the parents are divorced, the child is raised by one mother, but the father is alive and paternity has been established, for tax purposes this mother is not the only parent. She is not entitled to a double deduction.
Regions set their own concepts. In Moscow, social benefits are available to single mothers who gave birth to a child outside of official marriage and have not established paternity. There are also benefits for single fathers - men who adopted a child without being married. If such parents later get married, they will still be given benefits for these children. All this is directly described in the decree of the Moscow government. It may be different in other regions.
There is also the concept of single-parent and low-income families. In St. Petersburg, a family is considered incomplete if children are raised by one parent, but the other is not present according to documents, he has died, disappeared or does not pay child support.
To qualify for benefits, mom or dad will need documentation explaining what happened to the other parent. The exception is mothers who gave birth to a child out of wedlock: they only need to show the child’s birth certificate. Our family is considered incomplete because there is a dash in the “Father” column on my child’s birth certificate. Accordingly, we have the right to benefits.
Benefits are federal and regional. Federal benefits are available to everyone, regardless of their city of residence. Residents of a specific region receive regional benefits. I will talk about some federal benefits, as well as benefits in St. Petersburg and Moscow. I received benefits in St. Petersburg myself, but the editor asked me to write about Moscow benefits, so I don’t know how difficult it is to apply for them. If you know, tell us about your experience in the comments.
I managed to receive many payments not as a single mother, but as a low-income family - I will also talk about such payments, although not only the only parent can receive them.
Federal benefit
Labor benefits
The main labor benefits are a ban on dismissal, leave without a queue and the opportunity to take an additional two-week vacation at your own expense.
Additional 14 days of vacation. A single parent with a child under 14 years of age has the right to an additional two weeks of unpaid leave. Vacation can be added to paid leave or taken separately, in full or in parts.
If a child is disabled, the parent is entitled to four additional paid days off per month, including in a two-parent family. To take advantage of weekends or vacations, you need to write an application.
Vacation without a queue. A parent with three or more children has the right to take annual paid leave
Prohibition on dismissal. At the initiative of the employer, it is impossible to dismiss a single parent with a child under 14 years of age or under 18 years of age if the child is disabled. An employee will not be able to be laid off or fired, even if he is not suitable for his position. But there are exceptions.
A single parent can be fired upon liquidation of an organization if the employee does not perform his duties, skips work without good reason, or provides false information when registering. Full list reasons - in paragraphs. 1, 5-8, 10-11 tbsp. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
Incomplete work time must be established by the employer at the request of a single parent with a child under 14 years of age or under 18 years of age if the child is disabled. In this case, they will pay in proportion to the time or volume worked. Mothers need this benefit to pick up their child from kindergarten or school on time and save on a nanny. This benefit is available to all parents.
One day I asked my employer to let me go half an hour earlier so that I could catch my child in kindergarten. My salary was reduced by two thousand rubles a month, but I was happy with this concession.
Other benefits. Sending on business trips, overtime, working at night, on weekends or holidays - all this is possible only with the written consent of a single parent with a child under five years old.
The employer engages an ordinary employee to work overtime also with written consent. Without consent, you can involve an employee in case of force majeure: to prevent a disaster or in case of an industrial accident. But in practice this does not always happen.
Federal benefit
Double standard deduction
An employee who has a child can receive a standard tax deduction for children: 1,400 rubles per month for the first and second children, 3,000 rubles per month for the third.
For a single parent, the deduction for children is doubled: 2,800 rubles per month for the first and second child, 6,000 rubles per month for the third.
Typically the employee pays 13% tax. With a salary of 45,000 gross rubles, he will receive a net 39,150 rubles and give 5,850 rubles to the treasury. For the year, he will receive 469,800 rubles in his hands, and another 70,200 rubles in personal income tax will be paid for him by the employer.
In the case of a single parent, part of the salary is taxed, 42,200 rubles: 45,000 minus 2,800 rubles deduction. A parent saves 364 rubles on tax every month until his annual income exceeds 350 thousand rubles - this is the limit set by the state. With a salary of 45,000 rubles, this will happen in 7 months.
To receive a standard double deduction, you need to provide the accountant with a copy of the child’s birth certificate and write an application - this is done once, you do not need to write a new one every year.
If a single parent does not get a job from the beginning of the year, then he needs to bring a certificate in Form 2-NDFL for the previous months so that the employer can take into account income during this time. If the parent does not have such a certificate, you can write a statement that there was no income, or wait until next year.
I didn’t return personal income tax because I only worked for six months after the birth of my child. I want to work for a couple of years and then get back the money saved on taxes.
Expert opinion
Ekaterina Miroshkina
economist
You can receive the deduction immediately or at the end of the year. Some parents wait two or three years for a more impressive amount to accumulate, and then apply for a deduction. But this is unprofitable because the deduction amount is not indexed while prices are rising.
Look: a single parent with a salary of less than 30 thousand rubles can save 364 rubles per month on tax, which is 4,368 rubles per year. The amount is not very large - enough for 5-7 jars baby puree per month or two packs of diapers per year. But after three years, the same money will only buy three jars of puree or one package of diapers.
Therefore, if you have children and an official job, immediately write an application for a standard deduction. How to calculate it is the employer's concern. You can check whether you have been granted a tax deduction on your application using your payslip. Or ask for a certificate of income: it is also indicated there. Look in the certificate for codes for the only parent: 134, 136 or 138. They depend on the age of the child.
If there are two or three children, a deduction is provided for each, and for the third it is already 3,000 rubles per month. And if the third child is without a father, that’s almost 10 thousand rubles saved per year just for this third child. Mom will find how to dispose of them.
If you don’t want to spend money right away, put it aside every month in a savings account with interest. This is more profitable than waiting a year, then filing a declaration and four months later receiving the same amount - without interest, of course. Although this is also possible.
Federal benefit
Subsidy for utility bills
This is compensation for part of the cost of utilities. The subsidy is awarded to a family that spends more than the established norm on utility bills. The status of a single mother does not matter: a full or large family, a pensioner or a single person with a small income can receive a subsidy.
You can also receive financial assistance from the city to purchase an apartment, land plot or build housing. All families, complete or not, can take advantage of this right.
The first condition is to live in the city for at least 10 years and prove it. You will have to run around to collect supporting certificates and extracts from passport offices.
The second condition is to register as a family in need of improved housing conditions under a social tenancy agreement. To register under these conditions, the parent must not own an apartment.
Remember
- Single parent status is confirmed by a document explaining what happened to the other parent. Or a birth certificate with a dash in the “Father” column.
- There are no separate federal benefits for single mothers. But there are labor benefits and regional payments for single-parent and low-income families.
- The main benefits are a ban on dismissal, leave without a queue, an additional two-week leave at your own expense, assistance with placing your child in kindergarten. We worked on the material

One of these social groups are single mothers with many children who lost their husbands due to various reasons and raise their children on their own.
It is simply necessary to know what benefits and benefits are available to single mothers with many children in 2020, because this can not only affect their financial situation, but also give children everything they need for a bright future and a comfortable life.
General information
Both large families and single mothers have the right to assistance from the state, and if these two qualities are combined, then the amount of both material and social support grows significantly.

Definitions
Mother of many children- a woman who has three or more children, the eldest of whom has not reached the age of majority.
If a child enters a state university or is sent to serve in the army, then the bar increases to 23 years.
Therefore, for women planning a child or those who have lost their husband for one reason or another, it will be useful to turn to the legislation of the Russian Federation.
Identify mothers who need help when using.
Submission procedure
There are two types of benefits for single mothers. These are social and labor benefits. In the first case, only those mothers whose child’s birth certificate does not include the father can apply for such a payment.
This is possible in several cases:
- an application to establish paternity was not filed;
- father was not identified judicial procedure or using DNA testing;
- The woman who gave birth to the child is not married.
In order to obtain such status, it is necessary to register the child at the registry office and receive a certificate in which only she is indicated as a parent.
With this document you can apply to government agencies to receive benefits. According to labor legislation, a similar concept is also established.
This is a woman who raises a child on her own. In this case, immediately after a divorce, death of a husband, or deprivation of his parental rights, you can count on receiving all labor benefits.
Conditions of registration
To obtain the status of a single mother who is raising a child in a single-parent family, she must meet the following criteria:
As for those who have fathers, but they do not participate in upbringing, several conditions can be put forward:
- being divorced from your father without receiving alimony payments;
- the woman is unmarried and the father lives separately from her with the child;
- the child was born after the divorce, but no more than 300 days later - then the ex-husband is automatically considered the father;
- the father was deprived of parental rights.
It is worth noting that establishing paternity after birth requires understanding several conditions.
If a woman comes to the registry office without a spouse and is divorced, then if the marriage was dissolved 5 months before the divorce, then the ex-husband is considered the father.
But in the case when the child is born 10 months after the divorce, the registry office employees will rely only on the words of the mother.
Main federal types of assistance
Most benefits and payments are received by single mothers in the first 1.5-3 years. These indicators have not changed since 2016.
At the federal level, labor assistance consists of:
- part-time or week - at the request of the mother;
- the ability to refuse overtime hours and business trips;
- for the parent of a disabled child, four additional days off per month are provided;
- cannot be dismissed by the employer’s decision, but only without violating certain disciplinary rules;
- in accordance with the collective agreement, an additional 14 days of vacation may be provided.
- for the first and second child, 2.8 thousand rubles are provided;
- for each additional child - 6 thousand rubles;
- 24 thousand rubles are provided for a child with a disability.
But it is worth considering the fact that the income of the child’s mother should not exceed 350 thousand rubles per year. Otherwise, she loses the opportunity to use this benefit.
The remaining set of benefits is established exclusively at the municipal level. Therefore, everything here is strictly individual for each region of the country.
You can count on receiving free services in these areas:
- food in educational institution;
- essentials for infants;
- social travel in transport;
- issuance school uniform for a child;
- medicines;
- medical service;
- rest in sanatoriums.
This is the main list that all local government representatives rely on. But it is worth understanding that restrictions still exist - in terms of the size of the local budget.
This is what you should focus on when determining the number of benefits and the amount of payments.
Required documents
In order for the authorized body for providing benefits to be able to issue benefits, it is necessary to collect a package of documents. It may differ for different regions.
But the standard set will always contain the following papers:
| Passport | It is worth noting that if a single mother works as a crew member of a sea vessel, then she can use a seafarer’s passport. Because it is also an ID |
| Birth certificate | It is necessary to take all the papers that were issued for each of the children |
| This document must also be obtained to apply for benefits. But it is worth considering that this certificate has an expiration date and you need to take it about a week before submitting all papers | |
| Here the need appears in the sense that mothers can assign both labor benefits and benefits | |
| It is issued at the registry office. If a child was registered from birth without indicating the father, then it is issued immediately. If the mother is divorced, then you should write a statement according to the established form and the government agency will issue the necessary document |
But you should understand that it is best to find out in advance what set of papers you need to bring to apply for benefits.
Since they may change frequently and require additional confirmations and certificates.
Financial assistance from the state
Until the child turns 1.5 years old, the mother can count on the following payments:
You can also receive compensation for caring for a child from 1.5 to 3 years. In this case, for those who have not worked since pregnancy and those who are still employed, compensation of 50 rubles is provided.
What benefits and allowances are given to single mothers with many children for housing?
There are no special benefits for single mothers. They also get on a waiting list for an apartment and can apply for assistance under housing programs and subsidies.
But single mothers can receive other benefits from local authorities. For example, in the Penza region the cost of renting housing is compensated monthly.
Thus, mothers with three or more children are entitled to full payment for housing, but at a cost of no more than 6,400 rubles.
