Deputies of the Saratov region intend to increase the size of the monthly allowance for the care of a third child and subsequent children. Recall that in order to be able to receive it, you need to have a family income below the subsistence level in the region. On September 14, at a meeting of the Duma Committee on Social Policy, they discussed the possibility of increasing the payment to 10,056 rubles. This amount is close to the cost of living for children in 2021. If approved, payments will be earmarked for those born on December 31, 2024 until they turn 3.
The communist deputies did not agree with the proposed amount, and they calculated that the rise in prices during this time would outstrip the growth of the proposed increase. But the first deputy minister of social development of the region, Natalya Zhukovskaya, replied that the amount was calculated according to the methodology developed in the capital, as well as taking into account the indicators of the food basket.
At present, she said, every 9th out of 10 families with many children receives such payments. The representative of Saratovstat offered to hold a special lecture to the deputies on the formation of a food basket.
