While a person is studying, he should not be over 25 years old. In this case, it is necessary to collect the necessary documentation, taking into account all the nuances in this matter.

The legislation clearly states that with the help of public funds, you can pay for your studies. Other types of services allowed for payment, documents for their execution with the help of maternity capital can be clarified at the Pension Fund, they are guided by the instructions of the Government No. 926 of 12/24/2007.

At the same time, all services can be performed by the citizen who has issued for himself and has the right to issue a certificate. In this case, several conditions must be met before paying for child education services:

• The educational institution operates in the state.
• There must be accreditation, as there is a certain mistrust towards other institutions.

• correspondence;
• part-time.

Each educational program, presented as a part-time or part-time form of education, allows training only in part-time form. And there is no permission to use absentee payments for mothers, which worsens the situation for families.

• State support funds are transferred by bank transfer to the university or college, according to the instructions under the contract.
• It will take 2 months before the money goes into the treasury educational institution, since verification of the Pension Fund is necessary until it agrees to the application, then the second payment arrives.

The grounds for the suspension of transfers of maternity capital during training in public institution are:

• study in language centers;
• studying at an art or music school;
• receiving secondary or higher education;
• other expenses related to the education of the child (living in a hostel, etc.).

Video report on the topic

The financial situation in the country cannot be called favorable: according to official data, at the beginning of 2019 there were more than 1 million unemployed people in Russia. Against the backdrop of unemployment, the birth rate began to gradually decline.

Once upon a time, the average Russian family had three or more children, but now every married couple has mostly one baby. Thus, the nation begins to gradually die out, which is disadvantageous from political point vision.

Therefore, the Russian government has introduced a system of financial support for families with two or more children, which is called "family capital". Let us consider in more detail what it is and how you can use public funds to educate an older child.

What it is

In order to stimulate Russian families for the birth of more than one child, the government of the country decided to support citizens with children financially. A cash support program was developed, which came into force on January 1, 2007. This law helped main problem citizens - the lack of money for the proper upbringing of children.

After the birth of a second or subsequent child, the mother or father can apply with the relevant documents at the place of residence, after which the issue of the possibility of issuing maternity capital will be considered within a month. If no problems arise, a certificate is issued to the family.

Important! You can spend the received money only for certain purposes (read about them in the following sections).

Who is eligible to receive

Contrary to popular belief, not every married couple with children can receive family capital.

The right to additional financial support from the state have the following categories of persons:

• A woman, a citizen of the Russian Federation, who gave birth to a second or subsequent child, starting from January 1, 2019;
• A woman, a citizen of Russia, who has adopted a second or subsequent child since January 1, 2019;
• A man, a citizen of the Russian Federation, who is the guardian of two or more children. Also, the father of children whose mother was deprived of parental rights due to certain circumstances.

For what purposes can funds be spent

It is worth noting that the use of money from family capital is allowed only for strictly regulated purposes.

The certificate can be used for the following:

1. Improvement of living conditions. So, with the help of funds from the state, you can buy a new apartment / house. It is important that the dwelling is located on the territory of Russia. Also, money can be spent on repairing the building in which the family lives;
2. Child education. Funds can be used to educate a teenager at a university or college, to live in a hostel. You can also pay for paid kindergarten services, sections, circles and the like;
3. Formation of the mother's funded pension. Thus, it is possible to ensure a comfortable old age for the mother of the child.

Maternity capital cannot be spent for the following purposes:

• Buying a car;
• Acquisition of a cottage or land;
• Purchase of household appliances.

Important! The received certificate cannot be cashed: any fraud regarding this issue is considered fraud and is prosecuted by law. You can spend money only for the above purposes.

There you need to conclude an agreement on the provision of paid services. If education is free (for example, the child entered the budget), then the mother's certificate cannot be applied;
2. Then you need to contact the Pension Fund at the place of residence with a certificate. There it is necessary to write an application with a request to send funds to a certain educational institution for the education of the child;
3. The result will come in writing in 30 days to the address of the applicant's residence. If the answer is positive, the funds will be received by non-cash payment according to the details of the selected university.

If the Pension Fund suspects any fraud regarding the certificate, it may be refused to pay for the child's education, but the refusal must be justified.

From 2007 to the present, money from the federal budget has been sent to all regions of the country to finance the costs associated with the use of residential premises. Later, these funds received additional special purpose. They began to be used for living in hostels and education.

Funds allocated to finance education allow:

1. Obtain high-quality knowledge in educational institutions that have received state accreditation;
2. Ensure the stay of children in kindergarten or school;
3. Make payment for the student's accommodation in the dormitory.

Below is a more detailed discussion of this topic.

Payment for the child's stay in kindergarten

At an early stage of developmental education, children can receive financial support to pay for maintenance in kindergarten. What are the requirements for kindergarten?

As a legal entity, a preschool institution may have one of several organizational and legal forms:

• departmental;
• municipal;
• commercial or private.

The rules for providing capital are such that in order to receive it, an Agreement concluded between the parents of the child and the management must be submitted to the local branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation preschool. From the party receiving the services, the document must be signed. The second party under the contract is the head of the kindergarten. The agreement must specify the list of obligations that the employees of the institution for the care and supervision of the child assume.

The document must also the amount of the cost of services is clearly indicated provided by the institution during a certain time period (in particular, a month). At the end of the text of the agreement indicate: the full name of the legal entity with all the details, as well as the surname and initials of the owner of the parent certificate with passport data.

With what frequency to make payments, the owner of the certificate decides independently, in agreement with the management of the institution: monthly, once a quarter or at a time for the whole year. All transfers are carried out according to the approved schedule, with the exception of the very first payment. It is made within 2 months from the date of submission of the application of the owner of the maternity certificate to the account of the local branch of the Pension Fund.

Here it is important to understand difference between payment categories carried out from the funds of the federal and municipal budgets. In many settlements the cost of children's stay in kindergartens is partially compensated to parents from the local budget. But when the costs are paid at the expense of maternity capital, the municipalities do not produce any compensation.

The use of certificates involves the expenditure of funds not from the local, but from the federal budget.

Practice has shown that maternity capital is more often used to pay for the maintenance of children in private kindergartens, since at a cost it exceeds the amount of parental fees in municipal preschool institutions.

Things to remember when applying for kindergarten

For the first two months, parents pay for the maintenance and care of the child. from own funds. This is the time required for local PF employees to coordinate documents and redistribute funds from the federal budget. It should be understood that the child different reasons may skip kindergarten. Therefore, the amount payable for the institution's services should be reviewed and adjusted after the fact.

Since the Pension Fund will transfer money according to the calculations presented by the parents, an overpayment may result. The excess amounts must be returned to PF, followed by transfer to the account of the certificate.

The funds are not transferred to the account of the certificate holder, but directly to the current account of the legal entity where the child will be kept or educated.

When you can not use the mother's certificate to pay for preschool services

Before submitting a package of documents to the PF department, it is necessary to clarify whether this entity state accreditation. In the event that the institution is not accredited, then maternity capital cannot pay for the services of this institution.

These institutions typically include:

• Private sports sections;
• Dance, music, singing courses;
• Courses with in-depth study of foreign languages;
• Tutoring lessons not accredited by the state.

Payment for schoolchildren and students

The choice of college or university should be decided in advance. It is recommended to coordinate the draft agreement on education in advance at the local branch of the Pension Fund.

Is it always possible to pay for education with a mother's certificate

The law has several requirements:

1. The educational institution must be registered in the Russian Federation;
2. Training programs must be accredited by the state;
3. The maximum age of an applicant is 25 years.

Education of schoolchildren in the Russian Federation is free of charge. However, many children receive paid educational services. They can be paid with a certificate. Among them:

1. Basic educational programs (in excess of limited budget places);
2. Training in special courses;
3. Getting services from a tutor;
4. Additional training programs;
5. Program with in-depth knowledge of individual subjects;
6. Higher and secondary education.

The difference from the amount of transferred and actually spent funds must be returned to the PF.

When payments stop

• In the event of a student's academic leave;
• When a student is expelled due to poor performance;

In all of these cases, it is necessary to write an appropriate application to the Pension Fund on the termination of the transfer of funds and justify the refusal. When studying is resumed, an application is again written for the direction of funds to pay for the student's tuition or accommodation in a hostel with the Order on the restoration of the student at the university attached.

5. An agreement with the rector of the university confirming the enrollment of the child;
6. A certified copy of the certificate of state accreditation of the university;

Using the certificate to finance residence in a hostel

In addition to tuition fees, capital allocated from the federal budget can be directed for hostel fees if the student successfully completes full-time studies at an institute, college or other educational institution accredited by the state. Since there are often not enough places in dormitories, many parents are forced to rent a living space for full-time students for a separate fee. For these purposes, you can spend the resources of maternity capital.

In this case, the owner of the certificate must conclude an agreement with the hostel management on the allocation of a place for the student to stay for the entire period of study. According to the approved schedule, non-cash funds are credited to the account of the institution indicated in the agreement according to the agreed schedule. The first payment to the settlement account of the university will be received within 2 months following the results of consideration of the application.

The state continues to stimulate the birth rate in the country through maternity capital until the end of 2021.

Is it possible for a mother to receive training at the expense of maternity capital resources?

Despite the established practice, with regard to the targeted use of maternity capital, there are many contentious issues. In particular, can these resources be used for the educational purposes of the mother?

The law unequivocally answers that at present such direction of the use of federal budget funds in terms of maternity capital is not provided.

Despite the fact that a mother receives a certificate for the birth of a child, funds from the mother's capital can only be used to improve the quality of life of the child itself.
