When applying for a one-time childbirth allowance, it is important to collect all the necessary documents and meet the deadlines specified by law. To do this, you need to know where to go for advice and help.
Necessary
a package of documents
Instructions
Step 1
Carefully study the legislative documents required for the registration and accrual of a lump sum for the birth of a child. Specify what list of documents is required for payment in your case. This can be done by consulting the relevant departments of your place of work or the social service in the child's place of residence.
Step 2
Collect a package of documents for registration of the allowance and submit it to the accounting department at your place of work. You will need: an application for payment of benefits, a child's birth certificate, as well as a certificate from the place of work of the second parent, which indicates that this benefit was not issued to him and was not paid.
Step 3
If the second parent does not work or is undergoing full-time training in an educational institution (meaning primary, secondary, higher vocational education, as well as postgraduate vocational training), he must draw up and hand over to the receiving parent a certificate issued by the social protection authorities at the place of residence of the child. The certificate must indicate that the one-time childbirth allowance was not paid to him.
Step 4
In addition to these documents, issue an extract from the court decision on custody of the child if you are a person replacing his parents (adoptive parent, guardian, foster parent). Make a copy of the court decision on adoption, which has entered into legal force, a copy of the agreement on the transfer of the child (children) for upbringing in a foster family.
Step 5
Contact the social protection authorities at the place of residence, stay or actual residence of one of the parents in the following situations: if you both do not work; if one of you is undergoing training and the other is not working; if both of you are full-time students. In the event that one parent is an individual entrepreneur, and the other does not work, also consult the indicated organization for obtaining a benefit.
Step 6
If you are a single parent and do not work or study full-time in an educational institution, apply for the appointment and payment of benefits to the social services at your place of residence, actual residence or stay. Having received the necessary advice, you will quickly collect the necessary package of documents.
Step 7
Submit or send your claim for benefits and any other required documents, either in person or by mail, such as by registered mail or by letter of notice. It is important that there is documentary evidence of the date and fact of its departure. Keep in mind that if you did not provide all the necessary documents, they will be returned to you with an indication of the reasons.
Step 8
Please note that the employer is required by law to assign and pay you benefits within 10 days of registering your application and the required documents attached. In the social protection service, you must appoint it no later than 10 days from the date of admission, and pay either through post offices or credit organizations no later than the 26th day of the month that follows the month of registration of the application. It is also worth considering that the appointment of benefits is possible only if you applied for it within six months from the day the child was born.
