The State Duma proposed to increase the size of the maternity capital for the firstborn

Yaroslav Nilov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans' Affairs, sent a bill to the Russian government in which he proposed increasing the amount of maternity capital to 1 million rubles for the first child.

It is noted that changes will be made to the law "On additional measures of state support for families with children."

According to the draft law, which was reviewed by the TASS news agency on August 8, the size of the maternity capital may amount to 1 million rubles if the right to this type of support arose before January 31, 2026. At the birth of a second child, it is proposed to increase this amount by 300 thousand rubles. It is also proposed to pay 1.3 million rubles for the third and subsequent child, if there was no right to receive maternity capital before.

According to Nilov, the program for receiving this benefit has been extended until 2030.

What benefits can a family expect at the birth of a child?

Earlier, on July 31, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the government and the Popular Front For Russia movement to submit proposals by November 1 to define a single standard of state support for large families. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and the head of the Executive Committee of the Popular Front, Mikhail Kuznetsov, were appointed responsible for the implementation.

Alexey Govyrin, a State Duma deputy from the United Russia faction, said on July 26 that large and low-income families in four regions of Russia can receive a one-time payment by September 1, as well as cash out the rest of the maternity capital if it does not exceed 10 thousand rubles. In Moscow, the payment amount will be 13,257 rubles, in St. Petersburg - 10 thousand rubles, in the Moscow region — from 3 thousand to 7 thousand rubles, and in the Vladimir region — 5 thousand rubles. The money should be used to buy things for the school.
