Such citizens include, for example, full-time students studying in educational institutions. The country's legislation provides for the payment of benefits for such students in order to support its citizens.

But for this you need to know how to correctly issue such a decree, what the procedure is and under what conditions such material assistance from the state is provided.

Is it possible

For full-time students who have given birth to babies, Russian legislation has specifically thought out the payment of benefits in a certain amount at the legislative level. Moreover, in such a way that they can even continue their studies if they want.

But if their desire is to stay with the newborns to care for them, then this is also taken into account by the Federal Law.

At the legislative level, students are provided not only with payment, but also with academic leave.

The main document that contains all such rules and personnel requirements is, first of all, the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of May 19, 1995 “On state benefits for citizens with children.”

Regarding any issues that might arise among representatives of the sphere of education and science, everything is usually resolved by issuing resolutions, letters, orders of the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation (dated December 23, 2009).

All calculations of one-time or monthly payments, rules for providing parental leave or conditions for maternity leave for students cannot be carried out on a general basis.

Such rights are enshrined in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, which spells out everything necessary for obtaining maternity leave not only for a working woman, but also for other categories of citizens with children. But nothing is said about school days.

The general rules for calculating benefits to citizens as state protection for a socially weaker category of the population state that the Social Insurance Fund calculates maternity benefits if a woman or her husband has work experience.

But are student study days included in the work experience? Based on Federal Law No. 173-FZ, the period of study is not counted as work experience in the Pension Fund.

Moreover, it does not matter where young citizens study - at an institute, technical school or college. Therefore, regarding students, only the student’s officially registered practice in any production or enterprise can be considered a working period.

Many students ask similar questions, because on average a woman or girl can go to full-time study until she is 40-45 years old.

Therefore, this applies not only to young girls. With the entry into force of the Government Decree Russian Federation dated December 30, 2006, where a Regulation was adopted with clear requirements to accrue payments and benefits to all Russian citizens when they have children.

In addition, this Regulation also mentions citizens who are full-time students of one or another educational institution.

However, this only applies to those students. who receive exclusively vocational education, and therefore various religious educational institutions or private schools are not considered by law in relation to the payment of maternity benefits.

Conditions for granting maternity leave

The conditions for receiving maternity benefits for students are based on the main Procedure, which is provided for all pregnant women and women in labor, and the basis for this is Federal Law No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995, with all the amendments that were made and came into force in 2019.

And also - Resolution of 09/04/1995 on state benefits that should be accrued by the state to citizens with children.

Benefits are assigned by the Social Insurance Fund under headings for women who were not employed before pregnancy and childbirth and are paid to students who have given birth in the form of the following assignments, which are called maternity benefits:

1. A one-time benefit for pregnant women registered with a medical institution in the early stages of pregnancy. This payment is assigned as an additional amount to the lump sum maternity benefit. This period is the period before the onset of 12 weeks.
2. Benefit from the Social Insurance Department in connection with pregnancy and childbirth. The FSS awards benefits to female students in the amount of the scholarship that was awarded to them. Moreover, it doesn’t even matter whether they study in a paid full-time department or in a free one (Order of the Social Insurance Fund No. 1012n dated December 23, 2009).
3. One-time cash benefit for a child. Such assistance is accrued after the birth of the child and is aimed at helping the mother in the process of caring for the baby.
4. Monthly allowance for a child to care for him until he is one and a half years old. Such benefits can be issued to the child’s father if he is employed. If not, then the student mother submits the necessary documents to the academic department of her university or educational institution, where she is officially registered as a student.

If the parents of a newborn are both students, then they receive one-time government assistance on a general basis.

Parents will receive such assistance from authorities social protection population. If the father is employed and receives remuneration for his work, then he has the right to apply for a one-time benefit for the child born.

The father submits the relevant documents to the personnel department of his company where he works. The student must submit an application to her university, where maternity benefits will be awarded on the basis of the scholarship.

How to apply

It is necessary to distinguish between concepts regarding state payments to women in labor, which of these should be called maternity benefits, and which simply benefits.

So, everything related to vacation is called maternity leave, and everything related to payments not related to vacation is called benefits.

Thus, among the four types of payments that pregnant and giving birth students receive, a lump sum allowance for a child can hardly be called maternity benefits.

This is state financial assistance to improve the care of a newborn child and can be paid even to the mother who wants to return to the educational process immediately after giving birth.

How are certain payments due to a student in connection with the birth of children processed? First of all, the student turns to the academic department of his university, technical school or vocational school; he does not need to go straight to the accounting department of his educational institution.

In the educational department, all such issues can be resolved, and the head of this department himself will contact the educational institution’s personnel officers or accountants regarding the issue of a pregnant student.

For legal registration, students must submit the following package of documents to the academic department:

• an application to the educational department of a state educational institution with a request to accrue maternity benefits;
• an application for academic leave for a period of 1.5 years based on a doctor’s certificate, which describes the condition of the pregnant student and his recommendations;
• copy of passport;
• You must also submit a doctor’s certificate to the training unit - a medical report or examination.

Of course, a pregnant student can submit an application to the educational department for maternity benefits, regardless of how long she goes on maternity leave, as well as what department she is studying in, paid or free education.

After reviewing the documents, the personnel department must necessarily issue an appropriate internal order to the student regarding this.

To submit a package of documents to social authorities involved in ensuring the protection of the population, prepare the following documents:

• an application to the social protection authorities to receive child care benefits for up to 1.5 years or to receive a one-time payment for a child, depending on the stage of the student’s motherhood;
• application for leave for 1.5 years in connection with caring for a newborn child;
• a copy of a medical certificate from a doctor;
• a copy from the educational institution stating that the student was granted leave for a period of 1.5 years;
• certificate of birth of the child from the registry office;
• a certificate from the Social Insurance Fund and social protection authorities stating that the spouse does not receive any benefits;
• copy of passport data – all pages of the identity card.

If the child’s father is also a student, then the educational institution must also issue a certificate stating that he does not receive any benefits due to his wife’s maternity leave.

Procedure for receiving payments

Legislation regulating support in the form of monetary assistance to youth groups of the population, from January 1, 2012, provides for a certain procedure for providing support to female students who have given birth to a child.

The bodies that deal with calculations, accruals, payments of maternity benefits to female students and control over the implementation of payments are the following government organizations and institutions:

1. The educational institution where the student is studying pays maternity benefits in the amount of a scholarship, which is awarded from budget funds.
2. The social security authorities at the place of registration of the student pay him (her) two types of benefits: 1) for the birth of a child; 2) to care for him until the age of 1.5 years;
3. The Social Insurance Fund participates in payments of maternity assistance only if the student has formalized an employment relationship in the form of an internship. Then he is entitled to sick leave, and, therefore, he is subject to consideration of laws for employed pregnant women.

To apply for maternity payments, pregnant students must contact the academic department of the educational institution where they are studying full-time.

To do this, they provide a certificate, which is given to her by the doctor. Then an application for leave and benefits is written, then the educational institution issues an order and gives her a copy.

With this order, the pregnant student goes to the social security authorities and writes an application there to receive another type of benefit - one-time and monthly.

After registration, the government agency makes calculations and sends the due payment amounts either to the bank card of the expectant or established mother, or to the accounting department of the educational institution, where the student can receive all due payments.

Size

Part-time students, if they work outside of classes, can receive sick leave benefits, and the amount of benefits will then be calculated based on their wages.

If absentee students who become pregnant do not work, then they will receive benefits general rules with full-time students.

And the amount of benefits for such women will be calculated based on the scholarships they received during their studies.

In addition, full-time students have the privilege of continuing to pay benefits even if the student returns from academic leave ahead of schedule. There are no such conditions for working students.

The amount of payments may depend on some nuances, presumably the following:

• the amount of payments for students officially enrolled in internships will depend on the portion of the intern’s fees and the amount of the scholarship;
• for female students receiving an increased scholarship, the amount of payments will be calculated from the amount of the increased scholarship;
• if the student is studying for demon on a paid basis, then the amount of the benefit will be calculated from the scholarship fund;
• in the case where a student is studying on a paid basis, the amount of benefit payments will be calculated from a fund established by the educational institution itself;
• For those students who do not receive any scholarships, but can continue their studies immediately after giving birth, the allowance will be assigned based on the basic scholarships.

All amounts of benefits that are calculated for female students from their scholarships should not be less than those established by Russian legislation.

In general, the following payments can be received by a student:

1. For students whose military husbands receive 22659 rub. in a one-time form, as well as monthly in the amount 9840 rub.
2. Female students who are registered on maternity leave in early dates pregnancy, upon provision of an appropriate medical report, receive a one-time benefit in the amount RUR 543.67, which is included in the total amount of maternity benefits, calculated based on the amount of the scholarship.
3. One-time financial assistance in connection with the birth of a child is awarded to a student if she does not work and has taken maternity leave, in the amount RUR 14,497.80
4. If a student decides to become the guardian of a newborn baby, then she will be paid for the first child - 2718, 34 rub., and for the second - RUB 5,436.67

The maternity benefit, which is calculated based on the amount of the scholarship, will be calculated in two stages:

• the period before birth from the moment of registration;
• the period after the birth of a child, which is usually taken as a volume of:

The timing of payments affects the amount of benefits just as the size of the scholarship affects the final amount financial assistance full-time students who became pregnant and gave birth to a child.

Female students can easily count on receiving maternity benefits, a one-time allowance and monthly payments for child care until the age of one and a half years.

Academic leave due to pregnancy

and the birth of a child

One of the most common reasons for female students to take academic leave today is pregnancy. Let us remind you that, in principle, it is possible to apply for academic leave on the basis of health problems, family circumstances, emergencies, financial difficulties, etc. However, not every student is ready to prove that there really is a lack of financial resources in the family, or to explain to the employees of the educational institution the peculiarities of the family situation. As a result, some situations that could well become reasons fortake an academic leave , are solved by students “on the job,” that is, without interrupting their studies and without an official break. At the same time, for medical reasons, academic leave must be granted with a medical certificate. However, fortunately, illnesses so serious that one cannot attend school for a whole year are not very common among students. But the pregnancy of a student in this sense seems to be a completely special situation.

Some of the students, for some reason, plan to get pregnant and give birth while studying at a higher education institution, while for others, pregnancy occurs unexpectedly. In any case, pregnancy implies a change in a woman’s lifestyle, and the student, accordingly, in a sense is forced to pay less attention to her studies. I must say that during pregnancy and childbirthacademic leave is mandatory. There can be no refusal on the part of the educational institution, of course, if the student presents medical certificates from the antenatal clinic or from the gynecologist.

It is important to note that academic leave, usually granted for twelve months (that is, a year), can be extended in exceptional cases. Considering that the laws do not provide a specific interpretation of the exclusivity of cases, pregnancy and childbirth can also be classified as such. Consequently, if the birth was difficult, or the student considers it advisable to continue caring for the newborn without returning to study for now, then you can count on the academic leave being extended to two years, that is, up to twenty-four months. At the same time, we note that in relation to academic leave, they usually do not talk about maternity leave and child care leave, which appear at work. Academic leave retains its specificity regardless of the reasons for which it was granted.

A pregnant student has the same rights to maternity and child care benefits as any other woman. However, the educational institution is not involved in issuing them - in this case, this is a matter for social services, since study is not equated in this case with employment.

It is interesting that some students prefer not to stop the educational process during pregnancy, breaking away from it only after giving birth. Accordingly, they take academic leave not because of pregnancy and childbirth, but because of the need to care for the child. Accordingly, pregnancy and childbirth are medical reasons, they are confirmed by medical certificates. Caring for a child is a family matter and is confirmed by a variety of extracts and non-medical certificates. It is important to emphasize here what has already been said:registration of academic leave necessarily occurs only if there are medical indications. For non-medical reasons, an educational institution’s decision on academic leave can be either positive or negative. Consequently, a student’s academic leave for maternity and childbirth is guaranteed in any case, which cannot be said about academic leave to care for a child.

To give birth and raise a child, a student often has to take academic leave. Academic leave is a leave granted to students for medical reasons and in other exceptional cases ( natural disasters, family circumstances, etc.). Its duration, as a rule, cannot exceed one year. But in some cases, parental leave of up to six semesters may be granted.

Academic leave can be taken twice during your studies at the university. Maternity leave refers to leave for medical reasons. Typically, the educational institution “releases” 70 days before the birth (84 days in the case of multiple pregnancies). Here are excerpts from Order 2782 “On the procedure for granting academic leave.” 3. A conclusion on the possibility of granting a student academic leave for medical reasons is issued by a clinical expert commission of a state, municipal health care institution at the place of constant observation of the student, including the student clinic. In this case, the diagnosis of the disease is not indicated in the conclusion without the patient’s consent. In cases where medical care for students is provided by a health center, the conclusion can be issued by company registration uk clinical expert commissions of state, municipal institutions health care, the structure of which includes this health center. 4. The decision to grant academic leave to students is made by the head of the educational institution. The basis for issuing the order is: for medical reasons - the student’s personal statement and the conclusion of the clinical expert commission of the healthcare institution; in other exceptional cases - a personal statement from the student and a corresponding document confirming the grounds for receiving academic leave, indicating the reason. The procedure for granting academic leave may vary slightly at different educational institutions, but it usually looks something like this. In order to receive it, you must first submit a request from the university to undergo a medical expert commission. This request contains information about debts for the previous session. If they are, the student may be denied leave. Then you need to submit such documents to the medical institution with which the university or college “cooperates” (you should ask the dean’s office about which institution you need to submit the papers to). student ID; grade book; an extract from the outpatient card of the medical institution where the expectant mother was observed in connection with pregnancy; certificate f.095/u (about the student’s temporary disability); request from the educational institution. Then the received decision of the clinical expert commission, together with the student’s personal statement, is submitted to the dean’s office. The management of the educational institution makes a decision to grant leave. During the leave, the student does not receive a scholarship. Students studying on a contractual basis do not pay tuition fees during this period. If the money has already been transferred, it is transferred to the next period of study. Generally speaking, during academic leave for medical reasons, students who received a scholarship are assigned compensation payments in accordance with Russian Government Decree No. 1206 dated November 3, 1994 “On approval of the procedure for assigning and paying monthly compensation payments to certain categories of citizens.” Payments are made from the funds of the educational institution intended for the payment of scholarships. Their size is 0.5 minimum wage. The minimum wage in this case is 100 Russian rubles. If there are coefficients in the area wages, they also apply to compensation payments. To receive money, you must submit an application to limited liability companies UK at your place of study with a copy of the order for academic leave for medical reasons. If more than 6 months pass from the moment the leave is granted to the moment the application is submitted, then the state will pay money only for 6 months of the expired period. Within 10 days from the date of submission of the application, the head of the educational institution must give a response. If you are denied compensation payments, the reasons for the refusal and the procedure for appealing the decision must be indicated. Many students prefer to do without academic leave. It's quite difficult, but possible. In most cases, teachers are understanding of the fact that students come to tests with children, and sometimes forgive them some “sins”. However, you should not count on serious concessions: tests and exams are unlikely to be automatically provided to a pregnant woman.

In the article:

Sometimes students have circumstances that do not allow them to continue their studies or may prevent them from studying fully. It’s not worth dropping out of college for this; it’s better to pause your studies for a certain time. In such cases, you should consider taking a leave of absence. For those who study full-time, there are usually no big problems, but for part-time students it can be more difficult. In addition, not many people know that it is also possible to apply for such leave at the correspondence department. How to take academic leave at the university, reasons, correspondence studies, and other related issues, this will be discussed today.

Reasons for academic leave at the university in the correspondence department

There is an opinion that correspondence students do not need academic leave, because they do not need to attend the educational institution every day, they just need to come to the session twice a year. But this is not true. There are times when it is not possible to attend a session and preparation for exams is also out of the question. Academic leave at the university, the reasons for part-time study are the same as for full-time students. Here is their list:

• For family reasons - these include the inability to pay for education, care for a sick relative, care for a child under three years of age;
• For pregnancy;
• Military service;
• Medical contraindications are doctors’ opinions according to which a student cannot continue studying for health reasons. It is obligatory to provide a medical and social examination report.

In order to take academic leave in the correspondence department, you need to have not only the reason and application for leave, but also documents confirming this. In the case of family reasons, this is a certificate of family income, a certificate from the attending physician, a certificate of incapacity for work, hospital extracts, conclusions of medical commissions, a certificate from the maternity hospital about the birth of a child and a child’s birth certificate.

It is necessary to prepare all the documents, write an application to the rector and take it all to the dean’s office. The decision on permission to leave is made within ten days. Therefore, it is worth doing this in advance, if possible.

Academic leave due to pregnancy

Not many female students take academic leave from the part-time department due to pregnancy. Most often, it is possible to combine studying and being in an interesting position, but sometimes pregnancy is difficult, and it is not possible to go to sessions and prepare for them, or exams coincide in time with the expected due date. Then you need to take academic leave. You need to come to the dean's office or to the rector with a certificate of pregnancy and certificate 095/U - after that you will be given a referral and will need to undergo a medical expert commission. To do this, you come to your local clinic and show the direction, and a number additional documents:

• Record book;
• Student ID;
• An extract from the antenatal clinic, which will indicate that you are registered for pregnancy;
• Certificate 095/U.

Then you go through the commission, with its decision, come to the dean’s office and write a leave application.

After the expiration of your maternity leave, you can write an application for parental leave.

Academic leave due to military conscription

Full-time students have a deferment from military service. Therefore, academic leave in the army's correspondence department is not so common. To get it, you need to submit a summons to the military registration and enlistment office and write an application requesting leave. It will be possible to continue studying from the course from which you left on vacation.

Payment for academic leave

Regarding the issues of tuition fees and scholarships for correspondence students. Academic leave in the correspondence department payment for the institute - if you managed to pay for a course or semester, but did not start classes, then the money is either returned or transferred to the next course. This can be clarified in the accounting department of the institute. If an academic leave in the correspondence department is taken after the start of the semester, then you will not be able to get the money back for it, since it is considered that you have already started studying, but you will not have to pay for the next semester.

Academic leave in the correspondence department payment - payment of scholarships, compensation and benefits depends on several factors. If you study for free, you will receive half the amount of the scholarship; if you study on a paid basis, then the decision to pay or not pay the scholarship is made by the rector, and most often the answer is negative.

During maternity leave, a benefit is paid; it is equal to the amount of the scholarship. To receive it you need to write an application for this benefit, and you indicate the reason why you are entitled to it

Students living in a dormitory and going on academic leave cannot continue to live there, but they are entitled to compensation. For this purpose, a statement is also written to the dean’s office.

Terms of academic leave in the correspondence department

Academic leave in the correspondence department has very clear terms - no more than one year. Correspondence students may go on academic leave several times during their studies, but their total duration should not exceed two years.

An exception to the rule is maternity leave

In these cases, academic leave in the correspondence department has the following terms:

• one hundred and forty days - if the birth is standard, 70 of them are spent in the prenatal period and 70 after birth
• one hundred fifty-four days - if the pregnancy is multiple, 84 days before birth and 70 after
• one hundred and ninety days—complicated pregnancy and childbirth, including cesarean section—84 days at the beginning and one hundred and ten days after discharge from the hospital
• Parental leave can be written at the end of the maternity leave period - its duration is maximum three years.

In normal cases, you can take a second academic leave no earlier than a year after you leave the first one.

Now that you know that academic leave in the correspondence department is also possible, you will not have any difficulties in obtaining it, and you will not have to leave the educational institution if you suddenly become very ill, decide to become a mother, or are drafted into the army. Just bring supporting documents to the dean’s office and write an application, and you can safely return and continue your studies after completing your business.
