Teplyakov family complained to Putin about payments after the birth of the tenth child

Over the past five years, the Teplyakovs managed to quarrel with universities, landlord and officials. We are dealing with a lawyer, what is the father of many children seeking this time and whether the law is really on his side.

“Don’t relax, there will be more of us!”

Amazing still family Teplyakova. While some Russians painfully decide whether to have a second child, Evgeny and Natalia confidently crossed the double-digit mark.

At the end of October, they had a tenth baby, a boy named Gradosh. And, apparently, parents do not consider the achieved result final.

- Dad's good. Ready, so to speak, for feats, soon we will be more. Joke. It will, but not as soon as you think. Don't relax, Evgeny warned family blog subscribers.

But if the demographic program Teplyakovs work without interruptions, the financial, according to the head of the family, there were some difficulties. After the birth of the tenth child, the family received five thousand rubles from the school union. But social payments, which, according to Yevgeny’s calculations, should have increased from about 22 to 50 thousand rubles a month, have remained at the same level.

A father of many children claims there has been confusion in the social treasury. It would seem that it is easier: a child was born, payments were added. But the Russian bureaucracy is a much more complex organism. Sometimes it seems that fewer documents are required to give birth to a tenth child than to receive a benefit for it.

However, this is the version of Teplyakov himself. There is no evidence that officials have actually broken the law. But Evgeny decided to act in the usual way - in public.

He addressed the president directly.

- Vladimir Vladimirovich, how does it happen that under the pretext of your May decrees, officials can not increase the salary of a teacher for seven years, and when he goes to the trade union and the court, they say: "It's okay, you do not need money at all?" If our country is drowning for demographics, we need to somehow support it, Teplyakov said. Here it is worth explaining that Evgeny Teplyakov is not just a father of many children. He's also a teacher. And our own children.

Dad works as a dad. And he gets paid

We do have a very official form of preschool education - a family kindergarten. A large family can organize it at home, and one of the parents is registered by an employee of an educational organization. The state pays him wages for the upbringing and education of children.

This kind of kindergarten has been working for several years. That is, Evgeny is both a father, a teacher, the head of the home educational system and the main specialist in protecting her interests. Agree, convenient organization of work. You do not need to go to work, stand in traffic jams and ask your boss if a child is sick. However, it is impossible to leave work: pupils live with you around the clock.

Evgeny claims that his salary was not indexed for seven years. According to the information he published about the legal dispute, it was about earning about 50-60,000 rubles. He tried to get a review of the charges through the union and the court, but so far without success.

And here begins an interesting legal conflict.

- Family kindergarten is not just a home form of raising children. The parent who organizes it is registered to work in an educational organization, a fixed-term employment contract is concluded with him, explains lawyer Yulia Huseynova.

This means that such a teacher is subject to the provisions of the Labor Code. Article 134 provides for an increase in the real content of wages, including through indexation. But this does not mean that Teplyakov should automatically increase his salary by a certain percentage.

- If wages have not been indexed for seven years, this circumstance deserves a separate legal review. However, the fact that the salary is unchanged does not prove a violation. It is necessary to study the employment contract, the current system of remuneration and actual accruals.

In other words, Eugene might be right. Maybe not. And his labor claims cannot be dismissed just because the complainant himself has long been a hero of Internet memes.

Is Ten Children a State Award?

Let us return, however, to the current replenishment.

In addition to money and salary, Evgenia is concerned about Natalia’s lack of the title “Mother Heroine”. It seems that everything fits together: there are ten children, my mother too. What else to wait for? It turns out the first birthday of the youngest child.

“By presidential decree No. 558 dated August 15, 2022, the title “Mother Heroine” was established for women who gave birth to and raised ten or more children,” explains Julia Huseynova. But the title is awarded when the tenth child reaches the age of one year, subject to other conditions.

Thus, Natalia Teplyakova can not yet receive the award simply on the fact that Gradosh - so called the baby - was born into this world. This is not bureaucratic arbitrariness and not a conspiracy against the Teplyakovs. There's a law. Moreover, the title is not automatically awarded. It is necessary to comply with the established requirements and pass the award procedure. After assignment, a one-time monetary incentive in the amount of one million rubles is provided. Since 2026, there are additional social guarantees for the holders of the title. But until that moment, the younger Teplyakov has yet to grow up a little. Although, given the family tradition of accelerated education of older children Teplyakov, it is possible that parents would gladly shorten this period. Alas, infancy externally do not pass.

How much does the state owe to a family with ten children?

But with cash payments, the situation is really more complicated.

Yulia Huseynova reminds that support for large families is not a gesture of goodwill of officials, but a system of social guarantees provided by law.

Law No. 60 on Social Support for Families with Children. In particular, families with five or more children are entitled to monthly compensation due to the rising cost of living. For families with ten or more children, additional monthly compensation is provided. According to the lawyer, in 2026 each of these payments is 2226 rubles for a child who meets the established conditions. If the right to both payments is in respect of all ten children, only they together can amount to 44 520 rubles per month.

In addition, there are compensations for children's goods, payment for housing and communal services, telephone and special annual payments. For families with ten or more children, payments are also provided for Family Day and Knowledge Day.

- Therefore, the expectation of Evgeny Teplyakov to increase monthly payments to about 50 thousand rubles does not look arbitrary, said Huseynova. But it is possible to determine the amount really due to a particular family only after checking the age of the children, the conditions for assigning payments and previous decisions.

It is not yet known whether there was a real delay beyond the deadline. To answer, you need documents on the appointment of payments. Knowing the character of Yevgeny Teplyakov, you know, anything can happen.

- Parents have the right to demand a written decision on each type of benefit, a detailed calculation of charges and an explanation of the reasons for the delay, the lawyer explains. In case of illegal refusal or inaction, appeals to a higher body, prosecutor's office and court are possible. Although, judging by the biography of Evgeny Teplyakov, he can apply to the court and the prosecutor's office almost better than most professional lawyers.

What about the kids?

You can treat the Teplyakov family differently. Someone admires their many children. Some people do not understand educational experiments on children. But it must be admitted that the head of the family does have a rare talent to turn almost any dispute with officials into a news occasion.

But there is a circumstance that is easy to forget in this endless series of conflicts. Ten children who are not responsible for the decisions of parents, do not choose family publicity and should not become hostages of someone else’s attitude to their father. And if the family is paid, they must be listed. Regardless of whether someone likes Evgeny Teplyakov or not. If not, explain why.

In a country where large families are declared a state priority, a family with ten children should ideally not require a public appeal to the head of state to sort out their own social benefits. On the other hand, the father of many children himself could start with a written calculation and an official response from the department before declaring another grand battle. But then we would probably lose another series of the popular family saga “Teplyakova”.
