A large family in Russia is considered to be any family in which 3 or more children are under 18 years old. The legislation provides for benefits to support such families, which, alas, not everyone knows. Meanwhile, the use of these privileges allows you to save an impressive amount on utility bills, leisure and training.
In today's review, we will consider the Top 10 social benefits for large families.
10. Travel Compensation
When traveling to the place of the chosen sanatorium-resort rest, members of a large family are entitled to 50% compensation for expenses for any type of transport. In some regions, the size of this benefit has been increased. Traveling by public transport for large families is completely free.
9. Priority voucher provision in sanatoriums
In the presence of medical indications, children from a large family up to the age of 18 have the first right to receive free passes for the spa treatment prescribed by the doctor. In the Moscow region, there is an additional benefit for partial payment of any tour package once a year, which applies even to trips abroad.
8. Regional maternal capital
In most constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the amount of maternity capital for large families is about 100 thousand rubles. In some regions, capital can be freely spent not only on education, housing or pensions, but also on the purchase of a car or treatment.
7. Priority admission to kindergarten
Children from large families receive preferential tickets to kindergartens, bypassing large lines. At the same time, privileges are provided for paying for kindergarten, which apply to visiting additional circles at kindergartens.
6. Discount for studying at a music school
For tuition in non-profit music schools for large families, a discount of 50% applies. The same rule applies to municipal art schools and other non-profit institutions of further education.
5. Free school meals
For children from large families, breakfast and lunch are provided free of charge. In addition, each year, parents must receive compensation for the cost of a set of school clothes and physical education.
4. Free medication
At the age of 6 years, each child from large families is provided with free prescription medicines. True, the list of such drugs is limited, but includes a sufficient number of drugs to treat most childhood infections.
3. Tax incentives
Families with many children are exempted from paying the tax on one private car in many regions of Russia. In some regions, land tax and property tax benefits are provided.
2. Benefit for housing and communal services
The exemption is at least 30% of the amount accrued for electricity, gas, heating, sewage and water. In many regions, the size of the exemption exceeds the minimum threshold.
1. Benefits for visiting museums, theaters, parks
Once a month, members of a large family have the right to free and free admission to any municipal or state museum, theater, park of culture and leisure.
