The proposal to extend the matkapital program was introduced to the State Duma by the government in December 2024. The lower house of parliament approved the bill on February 18. According to the explanatory note to the document, amendments to the law "On additional measures of state support for families with children" will allow about 5 million Russian families to get the right to maternity capital from 2027 to 2030.

Earlier, on January 27, the Accounts Chamber told "Izvestia" that in 2024 Russians received 706 thousand certificates for maternity capital. It was noted that the number of issued certificates decreased by 218.15 thousand (23.6%). At the same time, 1.8 million families with children disposed of these funds in 2024. The number of families with children who used the MSC funds increased by 273.85 thousand (by 18.4%) compared to 2023.
