The government will additionally send 62 billion rubles for payments to families with children

By the end of the year, the Government of Russia will additionally allocate 62 billion rubles for payments to low -income families with children aged 3 to 7 years. This was stated by the Prime Minister of Russia Mikhail Mishustin.

“Thus, the total amount of payments to needing families this year will exceed 123 billion rubles for more than 4 million children from 3 to 7 years old,” Mishustin said.

A monthly allowance for children from three to seven years for families was introduced in April as a measure of support for low -income families in the context of a pandemic crisis. Now the amount of payment is equal to half the subsistence level of the child in the region. On average in the country, this is 5,500 rubles.
