In Sevastopol, the procedure for receiving payments for children has been simplified

CrimeaPRESS reports:

Families with children living in Sevastopol will now be able to apply for social support measures faster and easier. Corresponding changes were adopted at the meeting of the Government. Thus, a single mechanism for accounting for income is introduced when determining the right to payments, the terms for their appointment are reduced, and the need for the applicant to provide information about income is eliminated. This was reported in the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population.

Now the average per capita income of a family for all payments to families with children will be determined for 12 months preceding the four before the month of application. This calculation period is already valid for child benefits from 3 to 7 years, as well as from 8 to 17 years. Now this will also apply to regional payments, including the single mother’s allowance, child allowance, regional materiel, allowance for a child whose parent evades child support, «school» payments and others. The exception is state social assistance to the poor. Here the former procedure for accounting for family income remains. These are three months preceding the month of treatment , — the press service of the Government of Sevastopol quotes the deputy head of the social security department Evgenia Pytko.

According to her, now almost all information on income will be requested as part of interagency cooperation, with rare exceptions.

Information about the income of law enforcement officers and other internal affairs bodies, self-employed citizens, as well as other income that cannot be requested as part of interagency cooperation, the applicant will be required to provide independently , notes Evgeniya Pytko.

In addition, the income of mobilized citizens will not be taken into account when determining the right to child benefits.

The calculation of the average per capita income in families that include citizens called up for military service by mobilization will be made without taking into account the income of the mobilized , emphasizes Evgenia Pytko.

The changes also affected the timing of the assignment of some benefits to families with children. For regional maternity capital, it is now not 30, but 15 working days, for a monthly cash payment at the birth of a third or subsequent children — 10 business days instead of 12-ty.
