Either parent can receive a lump sum at birth. Consequently, the husband retains the right to receive this benefit, provided that he is timely applied for with the submission of the necessary documents.
Russian social legislation provides for a number of payments and benefits that a family can expect to receive upon the birth of a child. Thus, one of the largest cash receipts is a lump sum paid at birth. Any parent of the child, his legal representative (for example, a guardian) can apply for this payment. The presence of such a right ensures the most prompt processing of the payment and the receipt of the required amount, since the mother of the child, immediately after childbirth, often does not have time to complete all the necessary documents. In addition, certain nuances associated with receiving a lump sum are determined depending on the availability of an official place of work, a citizen's studies.
Where can a husband get a lump sum?
To receive a one-time benefit paid at the birth of a child, a citizen should contact an employer, since the funds for this payment are transferred by the Social Insurance Fund. If the person receiving the allowance does not work, but is studying, then the appeal should follow to the leadership of the educational organization. Finally, in the absence of an official place of work (study), you will have to apply for benefits to the social protection authorities located in the place of residence of the citizen. It should be borne in mind that before applying for benefits, you will have to prepare documents confirming the existence of the right to receive it in the prescribed manner.
What documents are required to receive benefits?
The main documents submitted for registration of a one-time allowance for the birth of a child are a special application and a certificate issued by the registry office and confirming the fact of the birth of a child. Additionally, you may need a certificate from the place of work or study of the second parent, which confirms that the specified parent did not apply for this benefit. In addition, when applying for payment of benefits to the social protection authorities, a citizen will have to submit a certified copy of his work book, confirming the absence of official employment at the time of applying for payment. These rules are provided to prevent abuse by persons intending to repeatedly receive a lump sum in different organizations.
