Putin expanded payments to schoolchildren

Russian President Vladimir Putin expanded the age limit of one-time assistance for schoolchildren’s families. At a meeting with members of the government, he instructed to issue 10 thousand rubles in August of this year, even if the children went to school at six years, and not seven, reports TASS.

Head of State noted that the initial text of the document was referred to the right to receive payments only from those families where children were 6 years before March of the current year. “March. April. May. Jun. July. August. September,” he reminded.

Putin checked that the text of the Decree adjusted by the changes in the measures of social support to the President reported by Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.
