In Mari El, the number of fathers in the decree increased by 42% over the year
In 2026, 436 men took parental leave in Mari El.
According to the regional branch of the Social Fund of Russia, this is 42% more than a year earlier. The monthly allowance is now received by 3588 residents of the republic.
Working dads can go on maternity leave immediately after the end of maternity leave. The allowance is 40% of average earnings for the previous two years.
In 2026, payments range from 10,837 to 83,021 rubles per month. The right to receive money is retained even if the father works part-time or is officially employed by another employer. For registration, it is enough to apply to the employer, and the SFR will appoint a payment within ten working days.
Non-working fathers are also eligible for support, but the allowance is targeted. The family must confirm that the income per person does not exceed the regional subsistence minimum (in Mari El it is 16 666 rubles). In this case, the amount of payment is fixed and is 10,669.64 rubles. You can submit documents through the portal of public services, in the MFC or in the client service of the SFR.
At the birth of twins or triplets, both parents can leave at the same time. And if mom and dad are busy, even grandparents are entitled to take leave to care for a baby up to one and a half years.
