Social Fund has sent to Novosibirsk 14.5 billion to pay for sick leave

More than 540,000 benefits were paid in the maximum amount: the recipients were compensated 100% of their average earnings. Employees with insurance experience of at least eight years can count on such compensation. The right to the maximum payment is also available to individual entrepreneurs who voluntarily pay insurance premiums to the Social Fund.

From 2026, self-employed people can join the system of voluntary social insurance. They will be able to receive temporary disability benefits six months after joining the program and paying contributions.

The amount of payment depends on the category of recipient. For employees under an employment contract, the average earnings for the previous two years, the duration of the insurance period and the period of illness are taken into account. Entrepreneurs benefit is calculated based on the minimum wage, taking into account the district coefficient. For self-employed, the amount of payment depends on the selected insurance amount (35 or 50 thousand rubles), the period of payment of contributions and the duration of disability.

Applications for benefits are not required. Payments are assigned automatically on the basis of e-hospital. You can track its passage and learn about the transfer of money in your personal account on the portal of public services.

Earlier, MK in Novosibirsk reported that about 30,000 Novosibirsk parents received an annual payment.
