In Moscow and St. Petersburg there are social assistance programs for families with children, based on the use of special bank cards points Their owners have the opportunity to reduce costs for children by purchasing the goods they need. This article is intended for those who do not know enough about the innovation.

Children's money on bank cards - what's the point?

Bank cards to which money is transferred for children were previously called “Children’s” and “Preschool”. Starting from July 3, 2017, in St. Petersburg they were combined into a single “World” card. Old-style cards that were issued before 07/01/2017 continue to be valid until the expiration date indicated on them. They are designed to transfer money to children of different ages.

Compensation is transferred first. The amount depends on which baby was born in the family. In addition, the card is replenished monthly with payments until the child is one and a half years old. In St. Petersburg, such a card is issued to women who have given birth to a baby, and in Moscow, a pregnant woman who registered before the 20th week can also receive it. If you apply for a card after giving birth, it will also be issued.

From 1.5 years to 7 years, a preschool card is valid, which was previously issued in both cities, now only in Moscow. In St. Petersburg it was replaced by a single version. The money allocated to children at this age was transferred to him. After July 3, 2017 in St. Petersburg, they continue to arrive on old-style cards or on new ones. The process of issuing cards and transferring money to them is regulated by the law “On the Fundamentals of Social Services for Citizens in the Russian Federation.” The state has granted regional authorities the right to develop acts on the provision of assistance to persons in need of it. Children's cards are issued to precisely the category of the population that is entitled to them in accordance with regional regulations.

The social card is a debit card; it is impossible to withdraw cash from it. The source of income is only those bodies specified by law that pay compensation to children. It is not possible to top up your account with money from other sources. Money transfers can be spent immediately after they are deposited. If they are not spent within three months, they are returned to the city budget. The money remaining on the child’s card after the baby turns 1.5 years old is transferred to the preschool. You can only spend money in partner stores of this program. Products offered for payment with children's cards are intended exclusively for children.

Who is eligible to receive the card?

Women who have given birth to a child and are entitled to a one-time benefit can receive a child card. The following may apply for it:

• residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg who have permanent residence in these cities;
• pregnant women who registered at a city medical institution no later than three weeks before giving birth;
• persons who adopted a child under one and a half years of age;
• disabled people and families with many children receiving assistance for this reason.

The card will definitely be issued to a mother whose child needs special nutrition (he should not be more than 3 years old at the time of registration of documents). Families who, in addition to one-time compensation, receive monthly assistance as needy and low-income people have the same right.

A preschool card can be obtained by low-income people, that is, those whose income per person is less than one and a half times the subsistence level. The program is valid until the child turns 7 years old. Then payments stop, but you can manage the transferred funds for another 3 months. They are provided to the poor, who may be citizens of the Russian Federation, including those without permanent residence. Refugees living in Moscow and St. Petersburg can also be recognized as poor. This also includes foreigners living in these cities whose income allows them to be classified as low-income.

• if there are three or more children in the family;
• the child requires special nutrition;
• there is a disabled child in the family;
• the child is HIV-infected;
• parents are disabled: one or both.

For adopted children, you can also get a card: a child’s card, if the adoption occurred before the age of one and a half years, or a preschool card - up to 7 years.

Where to apply for registration and what documents are needed?

If a family has the right to a child card, and there is a desire to get one, you should start by collecting all the necessary documents. Then the documents for obtaining a child card are sent to the MFC or social protection authorities. It can be taken in person during office hours or first certified by a notary and then sent by mail. The obligatory method of postal services is registered mail with notification.

You can use the State Services portal: first you need to register on the site, then scan the documents. An electronic application is filled out and sent along with scanned documents. The applicant will be informed in the manner chosen by him of the date and time when it will be possible to receive the card. Children's cards are issued no later than when children turn one and a half years old. The following documents are provided:

• parents’ passports with a note that they are registered in Moscow or St. Petersburg;
• marriage or divorce certificate;
• metric per child;
• a certificate confirming registration indicating parents - one or two (form F9) or F8, F3 - for temporary residents;
• certificates of pension and health insurance;
• confirmation of timely registration in the residential complex.

Also submits birth certificates of other children (if any) and a certificate of income for the last 3 months.

To apply for a “Preschool” card, you need to submit the same documents as for the “Children’s” card, except for a certificate of registration in the residential complex. You should also present documents indicating special circumstances in the family, if any:

• husband in compulsory military service;
• death of one of the parents or recognition that he was missing;
• deprivation of parental rights;
• serving a sentence;
• child's disability;
• HIV infection of the baby;
• having many children;
• certificate F25 from the registry office that the father is recorded according to the words of the mother, or with a dash.

Card production goes through two stages. Documents are preliminarily studied. If the applicant meets all the requirements, the necessary documents are submitted to the bank. In total, no later than 1.5 months, the parent will be informed that they can pick up the card.

Money in the account - what is transferred there?

In 2017, a parent or guardian is paid a lump sum benefit for a newborn baby. If it comes from the budget, it can be transferred to the children's card. If issued at the place of work, this is not possible: transfer to the card is allowed only from budget funds. If the child was born before February 1, 2017, the amount of the state benefit is 15 thousand 512 rubles, and after indexation from 02/01/2017 - 16 thousand 350 rubles. Regional surcharges have also been established for lump sum benefit, monthly and other payments for women who have permanent registration. Federal and regional assistance can be transferred to children's and preschool cards.

Money credited to the children's card:

• one-time compensation for a newborn;
• monthly benefit up to 1.5 years;
• assistance to a low-income family with a child under 1.5 years old;
• a disabled child;
• if the baby is HIV-infected;
• if the parents are disabled.

The "Preschool" card receives transfers paid to a child from 1.5 years to 7:

• from a low-income family;
• disabled person;
• with HIV infection;
• parents are disabled people of groups I-II.

The funds can be used for another three months after the child reaches 1.5 or 7 years.

What is the balance - four ways to find out the balance

Cards are issued by banks, so the balance on them is easy to check: checking using a terminal, by phone, on the Internet, by check. To find out the amount of your account balance using an ATM, you should know the PIN code, which is located in the envelope issued with the card. A PIN code is required not only to find out the balance, but also to make purchases. This is confidential information that only the cardholder can know. The PIN code should not be shared with anyone else to prevent illegal use of the card. In the ATM PIN code entry field, select “Check balance”.

If the terminal cannot be used, you can call: in St. Petersburg - 329-50-12. When making a call, you should have the card in front of you. The robot will ask for her number and ask her to come up with a four-digit code that she should remember. This is how services are processed for the client, after which you can use the auto-informer by entering your code. Residents of St. Petersburg can use Internet banking. First you need to connect it, which requires visiting a bank branch to get a login and password, or this can be done on the website. After registration, the service becomes available.

You can also find out the balance by checking your receipt after making purchases: the “Available balance” column.

How to use the card - cashless payments only

Among other bank cards, the young mother has one with funds for the child. It includes an amount that can be used for the baby’s needs, and at a discount. But this card is specific: it is supposed to be used only for non-cash payments, and even then not everywhere. Purchases using it can be made in individual stores and purchased strictly specific goods. Their list is based on the principle: this is vital for the child. Thus, toys, for example, although they are children's goods, are not considered vital, therefore they cannot be purchased with a children's card.

The second feature: it is impossible to top up your account. If you have spent everything you have, you can use the card next time only when a transfer from the city budget arrives. For example, you have spent your lump sum compensation, expect monthly payments. And the third limitation: money cannot be stored forever. If they are not used when the child turns one year and 9 months or 7 years and three months, the money will be returned to the city budget. To prevent this from happening, immediately after 1.5 years of age, apply for a preschool card, then the remaining money on the child’s card will be transferred to it.

You won’t be able to cash out the funds either: the bank won’t issue money using such a card. This restriction makes sense: the authorities want to be sure that the funds will go only to children. The nice thing is that most stores that work with these cards set significant discounts: up to 20% of the purchase amount. Many, by the way, have learned to cash out cards: they are looking for a person willing to give cash in exchange for a card. Circumstances vary, such people exist. Such actions are not prohibited, and therefore not illegal.

Shopping – what products are available?

Mom can spend money from the card in specialized stores that have received permission to work with children's cards. Products can also be purchased in supermarket branches and individual online stores. The list of stores can be found in the insert that is issued with the card, or on the city government website. There are quite a lot of them now, and the number is growing: there are about 200 in St. Petersburg.

There you can buy a variety of products for children from the first days of life. Among them are breast milk substitutes, both regular and preventive and therapeutic. Various cereals, meat, fish, vegetable, fruit purees, juices, and water are offered. Non-food products include furniture for children, strollers, cribs. In stores you can also dress your child: socks, underwear, sewing and knitwear, outerwear, hats, and shoes are available. The card can be used to purchase hygiene items for care and cosmetics for children. You can purchase educational children's games, sports equipment, and a bicycle. The products have quality certificates and sanitary and epidemiological documents.

Residents of St. Petersburg raising children are supported by the city authorities. The basis for carrying out relevant activities is the social code approved on November 9, 2011 (No. 728-132). Parents falling under a certain category are issued a social children's card. Targeted budget funds are transferred to it, which can be spent at certain retail outlets.
