The Federation Council has determined the amount of maternity benefits for 2025
The maximum amount of maternity benefits in 2025 will be 1.1 million rubles.
As RIA Novosti reports, Senator Olga Epifanova said that the maximum amount of maternity benefits for a singleton pregnancy in 2025 will be 794 thousand rubles, for complicated births - 885 thousand rubles, and for multiple pregnancies - 1.1 million rubles. These women are granted leave of up to 194 days.
Epifanova explained that the amount of the benefit is determined based on the maximum value of the base for calculating insurance contributions to the Russian Social Fund for the insurance period, which is the last two years.
Women on maternity leave or child care leave for a child under one and a half years of age can change the claim period by contacting the social fund.
Minimum maternity benefits also vary depending on the minimum wage. From January 1, 2025, the minimum wage in Russia will be 22,440 rubles, which determines the amount of the minimum payment. For a single pregnancy - 103,285 rubles, for multiples - 115,089 rubles, for multiples - 143,123 rubles.
To receive the benefit, a certificate of incapacity for work must be issued at the antenatal clinic in the 30th week of pregnancy, after which the payment will be automatically allocated from the social fund after the electronic certificate is registered in the database. Payment is received within 10 days after the leave is issued by the employer.
According to the Vzglyad newspaper, in 2025 Russia plans to increase child benefits, including maternity capital and other benefits, in line with the rising cost of living in the region.
The allowance for one child combines several existing payments and simplifies the process of receiving support for families in need of support. The maximum payment for a sick leave certificate in 2026 will be 6.8 thousand rubles per day, which assumes 8 years of work experience and a salary of 233 thousand rubles per month.
