In 2026, the payment amount for the first child is approximately 729 thousand rubles, the top-up upon birth of the second child is 234 thousand, and if capital for the first child was not registered, the amount for the second child will be 963 thousand rubles.
Consensus
- Sergey Rybalkichenko, head of the Public Chamber of Russia's Commission on Families, proposed modernizing the maternal capital program.
- The proposal includes increasing payments for the second child to the same level as if no capital was received for the first child.
- A new 'multi-child maternal capital' of 1 million rubles is proposed for the third or subsequent children.
- The maternal capital program has been in effect since 2007.
- The program is considered a key instrument of demographic policy.
- The program's purchasing power has declined due to lack of indexation.
- The majority of maternal capital funds are currently used for housing purchases.
Points of divergence
- 90% of maternal capital funds are used for housing, and the amount of housing that can be purchased with the capital has decreased from 8 to about 5 square meters due to inflation. — m24
