Russia: method of obtaining children’s benefits will change

Since October 1, monthly payments in connection with the birth or adoption of the first or second child up to three years, the low-income families will only come on the World Maps. It is reported by RIA Novosti.

What will change

Change will affect only the owners of the Visa and MasterCard’s cards. For funds, they will need to issue a map of the National Payment System. Also get monetary compensation can be cash or on a regular bank account to which no cards are not tied. At the same time, for receiving payments to the account on the deposit (savings book), the nominal account or by mail will still remain.

At the same time, the World Map is not always required. In particular, this innovation does not apply to the recipients of the Russian pension and social payments permanently residing abroad. One-time allowances for school-age children can also be translated into a card of any payment system.

not only children’s

On July 1, 2021, the translation of Russian retirees on the World Maps was completed. Initially, the replacement of cards for pensioners was supposed to be completed by another July 1, 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the transfer period was renewed several times. Now, you can get a pension only on the map of the national payment system or in cash.

At the same time, the benefits are pregnant and lonely parents raising children aged 8 to 17 years old, it is impossible to get in the mail.

Required Map

The need to create a national payment card system (NPC) emerged in the summer of 2014, when Visa and MasterCard due to US sanctions against Russia stopped serving cards of a number of Russian banks. From July 20, 2021, the MIR card holders were able to use Apple Pay. In addition, card holders can take advantage of other bonuses. For example, for pensioners is free issuance and service, and for employees of the budget sector – reduced loan rates. Also, many banks offer issuing and maintenance on reduced, standard tariffs or free.
