The Social Fund of the Russian Federation will review denials of benefits for large families

The Social Fund of Russia, without application, began reviewing refusals of unified benefits for large families that had not previously received them due to a slight excess of income, the fund’s press service told RIA Novosti.

“The Social Fund has begun a proactive review of refusals issued to families due to excess income. The review of refusals issued this year to parents with many children under a single benefit due to excess income will be done automatically,” the message says.

It is clarified that the benefit will be assigned without any action on the part of the family if the previously issued refusal falls under the new payment rules. Parents will be able to find out about the decision through State Services. Notifications will begin arriving on the portal on May 22.

According to the press service, Russians who previously did not meet the conditions due to excess income will receive a payment of 50 percent of the regional subsistence level. Today, the national average is 9.2 thousand rubles per child.
