In accordance with the presidential decree, the Pension Fund of Russia will unconditionally transfer a one-time payment to parents, adoptive parents, guardians and trustees of children under 7 years old inclusive, which will amount to 5,000 rubles for each child in the family, reminds the government of the Tula region. Let us remind you that the payment was announced the day before, on December 17, during a press conference by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The new payment will be received by all families with children who, as of December 17, 2020, have not yet turned 8 years old. In the Tula region, about 107 thousand children will receive this payment.
A special feature of the new payment will be that it will be paid according to the principle of “social treasury”: there is no need to apply for it anywhere, since the Pension Fund will unconditionally issue and transfer funds based on the decisions on payments for children made in the spring and summer. Thus, parents, adoptive parents and guardians who this year received a monthly payment for children under 3 years old or a lump sum payment for children from 3 to 16 years old, the additional payment will be provided automatically in December, do not need to submit a new application.
An application will be required only if the child appeared in the family after July 1, or the parents did not apply for any of the payments for children provided by the Pension Fund during the year. In this case, the parents must indicate in the application the details of the bank account to which the funds will be transferred. There are more than three months for this – the corresponding applications are accepted until April 1. You will also need a statement if a bank account was closed for parents who have already received payments for their children.
You can apply for payment in your personal account on the State Services portal or in the client services of the Pension Fund.
