Experts talked about which families are considered poor. Different families are considered poor in different regions, but these are always those families whose average per capita income is below the subsistence level in the region.
“The calculation takes into account the income of family members three months before applying for a benefit or payment. The total amount before taxes should be divided by 3 and by the number of family members, “- explained in the government of the Saratov region
Recognizing yourself as poor means getting the right to social assistance. For example, if the family has a child under one and a half years old, and the parents are officially unemployed or have a disability.
To receive benefits and payments, you need to contact the social protection authorities at the place of residence.
