This was reported by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection on the International Children's Day. If there are two more children over three years of age in the family, the amount of assistance can reach 1659 rubles.

It happens that a childcare allowance is not paid to the parent. In this case, the amount of state support is, accordingly, from 467 to 872 rubles.

The Ministry of Labour specified in which cases and to which categories of families state assistance is provided.
