Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law allowing monthly payments to large families to be maintained with a slight excess of income. This was announced on February 20 on the official Internet portal of legal information.

TASS notes that the law will allow to keep payments at a slight excess of the average per capita income. In addition, it is emphasized that decisions on the refusal to assign benefits, made on January 1, 2026, will be reviewed automatically.
