In the state Duma announced the automatic indexation of a single benefit from January

The single allowance for children from January 1, 2027 will increase by 6.8%, the indexation will be automatically, without submitting additional applications, told TASS the first Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on labor, social policy and veterans Affairs Daria Lantratova.

From January 1, 2027, the single benefit will be indexed by 6.8%. There is no need to write any statements, everything will happen automatically. If you are already receiving benefits, then from the new year you will simply be paid more, she said.

According to Lantratova, families in which the income per person does not exceed the subsistence minimum can claim payment. When granting benefits, family property and the reasons for the lack of earnings of its members are also taken into account.

A single benefit is paid to families with children under 17 years of age, as well as to pregnant women who registered in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. The amount of payment per child depends on the family income and is 50, 75 or 100% of the regional subsistence minimum for children.

In early November, the Ministry of Labor proposed from April 1, 2027 to take into account the receipts to the bank accounts of families when assigning a single allowance for children, the press service of the department reported. According to the project, the total amount of income should not exceed two times the annual family income. Transfers between relatives, loans, tax deductions and confirmed income from the sale of property will not be taken into account.

The Ministry of Labor also proposed from January 1 to increase the minimum annual earnings for receiving benefits to ten minimum wages. The project provides for exceptions for citizens with valid reasons for lack of income.
