The calculation of maternity benefits is determined on the basis of Federal Law of December 29, 2006 N 255-FZ. On January 1, 2011, Federal Law No. 343-FZ of December 8, 2010 came into effect on amendments governing the procedure for calculating benefits. Maternity leave lasts 140 days (if there was a difficult birth, the leave increases to 156 days, if two or more children were born, it increases to 194 days). Maternity benefits are paid in total. They do not depend on the length of service and the number of days that you used before giving birth.
