Putin instructed to work on the issue of increasing the maternity capital

Russian President Vladimir Putin, following a meeting of the State Council on social support of families, instructed to work on increasing the size of the maternity capital until December 1, 2025, depending on the birth order of the child. This is reported on Saturday, January 25, on the Kremlin website.

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Governor of the Novgorod region Andrey Nikitin were appointed responsible for the implementation of the order.

In addition, the head of state instructed the government from January 1, 2025 to provide women, awarded with the title "Heroine Mother" from 2022, with the same social guarantees as are provided to Heroes of Labor of Russia.

From two to ten: applications for disposal of maternity capital will be considered twice as fast

Reduced timelines will be achieved by implementing a "social treasury" system

The President also instructed to increase the amount of maternity benefits for women who are full-time students in professional educational organizations, educational organizations of higher education, organizations of additional professional education and scientific organizations, to the level of the subsistence minimum established in the region of their residence.

Earlier, January 23, Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation Anton Kotyakov reported on the increase of maternity capital up to 912 thousand rubles in 2025. He added that from February 1, the size of more than 40 social benefits, compensations and payments will be increased by 9.5%.

Before that, on November 29, 2024, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation did not support the idea of buying domestic cars by large families on the funds of maternity capital. Parliamentarians proposed to allow spending 450 thousand rubles from the maternity capital to buy Russian cars after the birth of the third child.
