It is noted that at present the minimum allowance for the first child is 1.5 thousand rubles, and for the second and subsequent children - 3 thousand rubles.

Moreover, the bill in both cases proposes to increase the amount of benefits up to 6,752 rubles.

“Such an amount will be paid to the family for each child under the age of one and a half years,” explained Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the State Duma. 

It is also assumed that the maximum amount of childcare allowance will be increased from 6 thousand to 13.5 thousand rubles.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian government approved additional payments for families with children aged three to 16 years.
