Allowance for early registration in the antenatal clinic. Early pregnancy: a guide. Who is eligible to receive benefits?

The amount of benefits in early pregnancy has changed in 2019. Typically, benefits for early pregnancy are paid simultaneously with maternity benefits. However, the employee can submit a doctor’s certificate to the accounting department later than the documents for maternity leave. Then the benefit must be paid within 10 days from the date of submission of the certificate. The benefit is paid by the employer no later than six months from the end of maternity leave.

Benefit amount in early pregnancy in 2019

And from February 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019, the benefit, taking into account the indexation coefficient of 1.025, is equal to RUB 628.47

If there is a regional coefficient in the area, then the benefit is indexed by this coefficient.

The benefit is paid in a lump sum (once per pregnancy).

Who can receive

This benefit is received by employees who are registered at the hospital in the early stages of pregnancy (up to 12 weeks). This benefit is paid in addition to maternity benefits. To receive benefits, the employee must register no later than the day before the date of 12 weeks of pregnancy.

The employer pays benefits to those employees with whom employment contracts have been concluded. The employer does not pay benefits to female employees under a civil contract.

If an employee works for several employers, the benefit is paid at her main place of work.

Documents for benefits

The main document for receiving benefits in accounting is a doctor’s certificate.

The certificate form has not been established. A medical institution (antenatal clinic or other medical institution) issues it in any form. The document is certified by the seal of the doctor and the seal of the medical organization.

Usually, on the sick leave certificate, the doctor opens the column “Registration in the early stages of pregnancy.” But this column does not cancel the receipt of a certificate. Therefore, even if there is a column on the sheet, the employee must still submit the original doctor’s certificate to the accounting department.

The employee must also write an application for benefits in any form.

The employer issues an order to assign benefits.

A woman preparing to become a mother, for the benefit of her and her baby’s health, should register with an antenatal clinic. Measures should be taken as early as possible to prevent complications during pregnancy and promptly identify problem areas.

Government policy is also aimed at improving the health of newborns. Therefore, women who visited a gynecologist in the first trimester are entitled to a certain payment.

The benefit for registration in the early stages of pregnancy in 2019 increased compared to the previous year. Therefore, it is important to find out the procedure for providing it and the amount that the expectant mother can count on.

What is it and who is entitled to it

When a woman contacts a gynecologist at the antenatal clinic, she may receive an additional incentive payment. A one-time transfer of funds is carried out in accordance with the ninth article of Federal Law No. 81-FZ, which was introduced on May 19, 1995.

The normative act reflects that an expectant mother who contacts an antenatal clinic before the end of the first trimester of pregnancy can qualify for payment. Gynecologists determine this period to be up to 12 weeks.

An important point is that a woman has the right to payment due for pregnancy and childbirth. It is provided to all working pregnant women for whom the employer makes contributions to the Social Insurance Fund. Therefore, this rule does not apply to adoptive parents.

Receipt of benefits is possible within six months after the end of the BiR leave. In case of untimely application, the woman loses the opportunity to receive payment. This norm is contained in Article 17.2 of Federal Law No. 81-FZ, which was issued on May 19, 1995.

What documents are needed and the procedure for registration

The benefit for registration in the early stages of pregnancy in 2019 is issued in accordance with the procedure specified by law. It is transferred to women who are entitled to receive payments related to pregnancy and childbirth. Therefore, the registration procedure involves contacting the authority that calculated and transferred funds for sick leave according to BiR.

There are several places where you can make a payment:

place of work of the woman (through the employer);
territorial branch of the Social Insurance Fund, where contributions are made by the employer or transfers were previously sent by a liquidated organization;
an educational institution where a woman is studying full-time;
territorial UTiSZN at the applicant’s place of residence.

To apply for benefits, a woman will need to complete a completed application in her own hand.

To prepare it, you can use the example below:

to CEO

LLC "Beauty Office"

from the account manager

Sinelnikova Maria Vasilievna

Statement.

I ask you to pay me a one-time benefit, which was due when I registered for early pregnancy in connection with my visit to the antenatal clinic at 8 weeks.

Attached to the application is certificate No. 234-p, issued by City Clinical Clinic No. 26 in Moscow on July 12, 2019.

In addition to the application, you must attach a certificate of early registration. The document will be considered the basis for calculating the payment. It must clearly reflect when the woman first visited the gynecologist at the antenatal clinic in connection with bearing a child.

Payment terms

Most often, benefits are paid to a woman at the moment when funds are transferred on the basis of a certificate of temporary incapacity for work according to the BiR. This is due to the fact that in the antenatal clinic a certificate and sick leave are issued together. Therefore, the woman applies for two payments at the same time.

But if the second document was not handed over when visiting the accounting department, the expectant mother can provide it separately. After submitting the certificate, payment is made within ten days. The procedure is prescribed in paragraph 24 of Order No. 1012n.

If the employer receives both documents at the same time, it is better to pay two benefits at once. As a result, the woman will receive the total amount.

After submitting the documents, HR department employees must prepare an order. But this rule is more a right than an obligation of the employer. This will only allow the procedure to be carried out correctly within the institution. After all, the basis for calculating payment is only a certificate and a written statement from the employee.

It is worth remembering that a woman has the right to transfer the document within six months after the end of her leave under the BiR. In accordance with paragraph 80 of Procedure No. 1012n and Letter of the Federal Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation No. 02-11-09/15-05-1361P, issued on May 30, 2019, if the employee did not do this in a timely manner, then the payment may be legally denied to her.

Amount of benefit for registration in early stages of pregnancy in 2019

The benefit paid to women for early (in the first trimester up to 12 weeks) gynecological registration is established at the legislative level. Its basic value is on the border of 300 rubles. But Federal Law No. 81, which was issued on May 19, 1995, namely in Articles 4.2, 5 and 10, reflects the possibility of increasing this payment.

The increase in benefits is associated with annual indexation carried out at the federal level. During it, a special coefficient is used, which is prescribed in legislative documents by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Local authorities can also increase the level of payments. They determine the value of the regional coefficient.

This rule applies to:

regions of the Far North;
territories that are equated to the Far North;
regions that are not considered the above areas, but also have distinctive climatic conditions.

Women who registered for pregnancy in 2019 may receive different amounts of payments. For example, a pregnant woman who visited a consultation in January and a woman who came to a gynecologist in February are not entitled to the same benefits.

The difference in amounts is due to the indexation of benefits carried out at the federal level. From February 1, 2019, payments were increased. During the increase, a factor of 1.054 was applied.

Indexation was carried out in accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 88, which was issued on January 26, 2019. It reflects the new size of the coefficient and the procedure carried out in relation to payments, benefits and compensation transfers.

Thus, according to the changes, a woman who registered for pregnancy in January 2019 can count on 518 rubles 73 kopecks. The expectant mother, who applied in February 2019, is entitled to a payment of 613 rubles 14 kopecks. The amount is obtained by multiplying the previous benefit value by the indexation factor of 1.054.

Display in accounting

Payment of benefits for early registration is carried out by the employer. But after this, the organization has the right to apply to the Social Insurance Fund, where deductions are made. He fully reimburses all expenses incurred. In accounting, in this case, posting D 69 is made.

There is no taxation on benefits. Also, insurance premiums are not deducted from the payment.

These standards are reflected in:

paragraph 1 of article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation;
subparagraph 1 of paragraph 1 of Article 422 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation;
Subclause 1 of Clause 1 of Article 20.2 of Federal Law No. 125, which came into force on July 24, 1998.

The employer does not have to take payments into account when calculating income tax. After all, the benefit is fully compensated by the Social Insurance Fund.

In order to understand how to reflect operations in, it is necessary to consider a specific example. On March 15, 2019, the cashier of Lux-Svet LLC, Anna Stepanovna Romashkina, provided a certificate to the accounting department indicating that the woman was registered with the antenatal clinic within 7 obstetric weeks. The document was issued on November 25, 2019.

Benefits for pregnant women and mothers

The maximum amount of maternity benefits in 2019 is 417,232 rubles (for the birth of two or more children). The minimum size is 51919 rubles. Payments of maternity benefits are made on the next payday after the appointment.

In addition to the benefits listed in Federal Law No. 81-FZ “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children,” there are benefits to support families with children.

The following are entitled to maternity benefits:

Maternity leave lasts 140 calendar days in the case of an uncomplicated singleton pregnancy, 156 calendar days in the case of a complicated birth, and 194 calendar days for the birth of two or more children.

Maternity benefits are calculated and paid in total for the entire leave, regardless of the number of days actually used before the birth. If you continue to work while on maternity leave, the benefit amount does not decrease.

The site is free

For working women subject to compulsory social insurance, maternity benefits are set at 100% of average earnings. Earnings are calculated for the two calendar years preceding the year of going on maternity leave.

When calculating maternity benefits in 2019, income for 2017 and 2018 is taken into account.

According to Article 14 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ and in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees, no more than a certain amount can be taken into account for each year. So for 2017 you can take into account no more than 755,000 rubles, and for 2018 you can take into account no more than 815,000 rubles.

Thus, for women going on maternity leave in 2019, the amount of maternity benefit for 140 days cannot be more than 301,095 rubles, for 156 days for complicated childbirth - no more than 335,506 rubles and for 194 days of sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth for the birth of twins or triplets - no more than 417,232 rubles.

At the same time, the maximum amount of maternity benefits does not depend on regional coefficients. Both in Moscow and beyond the Arctic Circle the maximum benefit amount is the same.

A woman with less than six months of insurance coverage is paid maternity benefits in the amount of the minimum wage (minimum wage) for each month of leave. From January 1, 2019, the minimum wage is 11,280 rubles per month. The insurance period includes all periods during which the employee was subject to compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity.

If the insured person works for several employers, income from all employers is taken into account, but benefits are paid either for one of the last places of work, or for each place of work, look for your option in the article “”. If a worker wants to receive full benefits in one place, she needs to bring a certificate of income from other employers for a two-year period and a certificate stating that benefits were not received from these employers.

Maternity benefits are assigned by the employer (employers) within 10 days after the provision of all documents, and are paid on the next payday after the assignment.

If the employer cannot pay maternity benefits (there is no money in the account), the benefit is paid by the territorial body of the insurer (see the name of the insurance company on your compulsory medical insurance policy).

Documents for calculating maternity benefits

certificate of incapacity for work;
application for leave;
a certificate of the amount of earnings from another place of work, if any in the previous two years;
application for replacement of billing periods, if required.

Benefits for those dismissed due to liquidation of the organization

From February 1, 2019, for those dismissed due to the liquidation of organizations, maternity benefits are set at 655 rubles 49 kopecks per month and are paid by the social protection authority (USZN). To do this, you must register with the employment center within 12 months from the date of dismissal and submit the following documents to the social security authorities:

application for maternity benefits;
certificate of incapacity for work;
an extract from the work book about the last place of work, certified in the prescribed manner;
a certificate from the state employment service regarding recognition as unemployed.

If a woman applies for benefits to the social protection authority not at her place of residence (place of permanent registration), but at her actual place of residence, she must also provide a certificate from the Social Security Service at her place of residence stating that the benefit was not assigned.

Allowance for full-time students

A woman studying full-time has the right to maternity benefits, regardless of whether she is studying on a paid or free basis.

Students receive an allowance at the place of study in the amount of a scholarship (for each month of incapacity for work). Accrual and payment are made within 10 days after submitting documents.

To receive benefits, you must provide an application and a certificate from a medical organization.

One-time benefit for women registered with medical organizations in the early stages of pregnancy

Women who register before the twelfth week of pregnancy have the right to a one-time benefit in addition to the maternity benefit.

The one-time benefit for women registered with medical organizations in the early stages of pregnancy from February 1, 2019 is 655 rubles 49 kopecks.

Children's benefits FSS of the Russian Federation

One-time benefit for women registered in medical institutions in the early stages of pregnancy is assigned to working women in addition to maternity benefits, subject to their registration at the antenatal clinic before 12 weeks of pregnancy on the basis of Article 9 of Federal Law No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995 “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children.”

This benefit is drawn up and issued by the employer at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation when the employee submits a certificate of registration in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. The right to this benefit is available to women who are entitled to receive maternity benefits, which are usually paid at the same time.

If the certificate of registration from the antenatal clinic is submitted later, then in accordance with clause 24 of the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated December 23, 2009 No. 1012n “On approval of the Procedure and conditions for the appointment and payment of state benefits to citizens with children,” the specified benefit is paid on 10 - ten ten days after its submission, provided that the application for benefits followed no later than six months after the end of maternity leave.

Providing a working pregnant woman with even a small additional allowance is intended to encourage her to begin timely and optimal control of the course of her pregnancy, which, of course, is important both for the health of the woman herself and the development of the unborn child.

The size of the one-time benefit for women registered in medical institutions in the early stages of pregnancy is subject to annual indexation and from February 1, 2019 is equal to 655 rub. 49 kopecks(in 2018 - 628 rubles 47 kopecks, in 2017 - 613 rubles 14 kopecks, in 2016 - 581 rubles 73 kopecks).

A woman’s visit to an antenatal clinic in the early stages of pregnancy is also important for her from the point of view of participation in the national project “Health”, within the framework of which she is issued a birth certificate, which provides high-quality and qualified medical care during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, as well as clinical observation of a child in the first year of life. In addition, through the antenatal clinic, free medications are provided to pregnant women using funds from birth certificates.

It is also important for workers to find out in time about labor benefits for pregnant women provided by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The complex of such benefits allows them to optimally combine work activity with observation at the antenatal clinic.

Pregnant women who are registered at the antenatal clinic in the early stages of pregnancy (up to 12 weeks), permanently residing (working) in the territory of the residence zone with the right to resettlement and exposed to radiation as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, as well as living in those specified in paragraph 4 part one of article 1 of law 175-FZ in populated areas (clause 6 of part one of article 18 of law 1244-1, article 7 of law 175-FZ) is appointed additional one-time benefit in the amount of 157.01 rubles. taking into account indexation from February 1, 2019 by a factor of 1.043 (in 2018 - 150.54 rubles, in 2017 - 146.87 rubles, in 2016 - 139.35 rubles).

All benefits and payments

Why do you need to register?

Typically, a woman finds out about pregnancy at 6-11 weeks. During her first visit to the gynecologist, she will be asked to register for pregnancy. This can be done in any antenatal clinic to which the patient is assigned - at the place of registration or work, where it will be more convenient. It is not necessary to choose the clinic where the woman was seen regularly, although in this case it will be easier for doctors to familiarize themselves with the patient’s chart, find out about the presence of chronic diseases and the treatment provided.

According to the law of the Russian Federation, a woman has the right to receive free medical care for the entire 9 months of bearing a baby, regardless of whether she is registered with the LCD for pregnancy or not. But a scheduled visit to the gynecologist, passing the appropriate tests, regular and systematic monitoring of fetal development helps to avoid many problems and identify any abnormalities.

A woman needs medical consultation from a specialist throughout her pregnancy, starting from the early stages.

Due to their own laziness or illiteracy, some women refuse to register with the LCD so as not to waste time going to doctors and taking tests. There is no law that requires you to do this. Meanwhile, early registration at the clinic has its advantages for both mother and baby (to a greater extent):

In the early stages, important systems and organs of the child are formed. During this period of time, it is important to see a doctor and follow his recommendations on nutrition, taking vitamins, etc.
With the onset of pregnancy, the immune system decreases, chronic diseases worsen, which can affect the health of the fetus. A gynecologist will be able to correct any ailment.
Arranging in the early stages increases the chances of a successful pregnancy. But in the following months it is important to monitor the development of the fetus and possible deviations in its development.
Using tests, it is determined whether the expectant mother belongs to any risk group that complicates childbirth.
There are also financial benefits from early registration. If a woman registers with a doctor before the 12th week of pregnancy, she is entitled to a one-time payment (after childbirth). The amount is symbolic - just over 600 rubles, but the payment is guaranteed by the state.

What week is the best time to register?

Each woman decides for herself when to see a doctor for the first time regarding pregnancy management. Everything is individual. Firstly, not all expectant mothers find out about their situation at the same time. Unplanned children may go unnoticed, and only after a long delay and a change in the general condition does a woman begin to think about a possible pregnancy.

Strict maximum and minimum terms are not specified anywhere, but they exist:

Ideally, register before week 12. At this point, the first important studies begin: taking tests and carrying out procedures to monitor the baby’s health.
The deadline is week 30. It is then that maternity leave begins, and the woman still has time to fill out all the certificates and undergo some research.

You shouldn’t delay going to the gynecologist, but should you rush to register? You can complete all the necessary documents and receive medical advice much earlier than the “optimal” 7-12 weeks, although at this time a consultation with a therapist and gynecologist is sufficient. This is especially important when the doctor is guiding the patient at the planning stage and carefully monitoring her health. Each stage has its own recommendations.

Registration up to 6-7 weeks

It is difficult to register as an expectant mother in a housing complex for a period of 1 to 4 obstetric weeks for several reasons. Before the first delay, it is difficult to diagnose an ongoing pregnancy, both for the woman herself and for the gynecologist. Visually the uterus does not change. The presence of an embryo can only be determined using ultrasound. If a woman comes to the doctor at this time, he may attribute the signs of an interesting situation to a hormonal imbalance.

Early registration is quite acceptable, but there is no point in rushing to register after just seeing two lines on the test. Gynecologists do not recommend registering before 6 weeks, because during this period there is a high probability of spontaneous miscarriage. In the event of the development of some pathologies, natural selection occurs. Sometimes, on the recommendation of doctors, preservation assistance is not provided at this time: it is believed that it is better to give birth later, but to a healthy child. Sometimes they even refuse to register for a short period of time, arguing that a miscarriage may occur. But pregnancy is confirmed using an ultrasound.

There are situations when the expectant mother is monitored from the 5th week. Complex cases include:

a history of miscarriages;
serious chronic diseases;
age from 35 years and above;
unfavorable working conditions for women.

Registration from 6-7 to 9 weeks

If the pregnancy is proceeding normally, the woman has reached 7 weeks or more, has verified her situation using a pharmacy test and has come for a consultation with a specialist, he should have no reason to refuse her registration. Diagnosis is easier. If desired, a woman can go to private clinics and confirm pregnancy using blood tests (hCG levels) and ultrasound. They then come to the antenatal clinic with these documents.

The period of 7-9 obstetric weeks is suitable for the first visit to a gynecologist. The woman will be given the necessary examinations, which include:

general urine, stool and blood tests;
determination of the Rh factor;
hepatitis test;
examination for syphilis;
smear;
culture of urine for hidden bacteria;
ECG, etc.

From this moment (6-9 weeks), the woman can begin to undergo mandatory examination by doctors, in addition to the gynecologist. Time allows, there is no point in rushing, and before about 12-20 weeks it is necessary to undergo the following specialists:

Your family doctor;
ophthalmologist;
Laura;
Dentist (therapist);
endocrinologist (not always).

Registration from 9 to 12 weeks

In the early stages, modern medicine is able to identify genetic pathologies of the fetus. Thanks to this, treatment begins in a timely manner. The first examination - the so-called screening - is also aimed at offering an abortion in case of negative results. The timing of testing is determined by the gynecologist, but if pregnant women are at risk, the examination is carried out at 10-12 weeks. If you register before this date, you have a higher chance of diagnosing the pathology in time and taking action. Women who are not registered with the LCD can also undergo screening, but for a fee, in private clinics.

The established period of 12 weeks is the approximate end of the first trimester. It is believed that an abortion performed for medical reasons during this period does not pose a threat to the health of the mother.

When the first visit to the gynecologist occurs at a period of 9 weeks, the specialist can make a diagnosis based on an examination of the uterus and mammary glands. The expectant mother is also sent for an ultrasound examination to exclude an ectopic pregnancy and to take the necessary measurements of the fetus. It’s not too late to register at 10-12 obstetric weeks. Prenatal diagnostics will be carried out in full.

The process of registration in the residential complex

A pregnant woman has the right to go not only to the city clinic at her place of registration, but also to attach herself to any other one - if she wishes. Convenient location is an important criterion, since you will have to visit doctors regularly. In addition, you can choose “your doctor,” a friend or by recommendation, and register with his clinic. Before you make an appointment with a gynecologist, you will need to register with a residential complex - bring your compulsory medical insurance policy and passport, and write an application.

State clinics operate on a local basis, where each doctor is assigned a specific area. The pregnant woman is referred to “her” doctor. But she can choose a gynecologist on her own and be observed by him (with the doctor’s consent). The patient has the right to change doctor during pregnancy in case of lack of mutual understanding and other reasons.

When the gynecologist conducts the initial examination, the woman once again writes a statement (addressed to the head of the housing complex), and the gynecologist creates an outpatient card, which is kept in his office. It is important to collect anamnesis, find out what diseases (hereditary and chronic) the expectant mother has, whether there have been problems with pregnancy in the past (abortions, miscarriages), and so on. The woman attaches the necessary documents and their copies to the card:

passport;
compulsory medical insurance policy, which gives the right to receive free medical care;
SNILS pension insurance card.

How often should you visit a doctor?

In the gynecologist's office where the woman goes, there is a file cabinet where all the outpatient records of pregnant women are stored. The doctor also uses a computer database to track when and which patient comes for an appointment. If there are no deviations, you will have to visit a gynecologist every 2-3 weeks. Plus, regularly take tests (blood, urine) and undergo consultations with specialists.

The situation is complicated by the possible incompatibility of the Rh factors of the mother and child, then it is necessary to donate blood to determine antibodies at least once a month (once every 4-2 weeks, depending on the period). The expectant mother will have to run around, but everything is done for the sake of the health of the baby and the woman herself. The sooner a possible problem can be diagnosed, the faster it will be fixed.

If a pregnant woman does not register

Sometimes it happens that a woman deliberately does not register at the clinic and visits the doctor immediately before or during childbirth. The pregnancy may proceed well and the baby will be born healthy. But if problems arise that lead to miscarriage or fetal pathologies, no one will be able to tell the expectant mother what to do. Such connivance towards one’s health and the health of the child is fraught with consequences.

For failure to register, the state has no right to punish either with a fine or punishment. A woman punishes herself by depriving herself of timely medical care, diagnosis, and support. Even if the expectant mother feels great and has already had experience in childbirth, it is still recommended to undergo routine examinations. No one can predict how pregnancy will progress. If the “interesting situation” is confirmed (at least by a test), but registration is complicated by departure or other reasons, you can be examined a little later.

There is no optimal “single” time for registration. Each woman decides for herself at what time it is convenient for her to do this. In the short term, the gynecologist may refuse registration and schedule a second appointment in a couple of weeks, if there is definitely a pregnancy. It is recommended to register in the 1st trimester, since all necessary primary studies are carried out during this period.
