Federal Reserve of Altai Krai: Guidance on Settling Payments Due to Dismissal Following Liquidation
News Article: Altai Region Introduces Single Benefit for Maternity and Childcare
In the Altai region of Russia, a new initiative has been launched to support young families. The Altai Social Fund, responsible for the distribution of social benefits, has introduced a single benefit for maternity leave and childcare [1].
The primary component of this benefit is a one-time payment of 5,000 rubles, aimed at female students who register their pregnancy early. This initiative is part of the regional support available for maternity and childcare, with a focus on early-stage pregnancy registration [1].
While the Altai Social Fund has clarified the details of this benefit allocation, the division or joint allocation of maternity leave benefits and childcare benefits as a single benefit is not explicitly detailed in the available regional programs for 2025.
Generally, maternity leave benefits in Russia are regulated at the federal level, while childcare benefits may be supplemented regionally. However, the specific mechanism for the Altai region would require more detailed local government documentation or legislative texts.
Interested individuals can apply for this benefit through the government services portal or in-person at the Altai branch of the Russian Social Fund. The application process does not specify a particular location within the Altai branch.
To be eligible for the benefit, the person caring for the child must not be receiving unemployment benefits. This rule applies to all individuals, including fathers, other relatives, or guardians dismissed during childcare leave. It's worth noting that the benefit is not available to individuals receiving unemployment benefits.
For those seeking more precise and up-to-date information on the procedural or eligibility rules for this single benefit's allocation in Altai, consulting the Altai State regional social protection department or the Altai Krai official government portal is recommended.
