Svetlana Bessarab, a member of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs, said that Russians may lose child benefits in some cases. She shared the details with Ura.ru.
The deputy warned about the risk of losing the child benefit in the absence of a re-application for payment — it must be submitted in a year. Also, the benefit may be denied if the family income has changed.
«The benefits are set for 12 months,» the parliamentarian warned.
After the deadline, a new application is required. Otherwise, the payment is terminated. This applies to the single allowance and all other child benefits.
Bessarab noted that it will become easier to receive benefits, since uniform payment terms have appeared. If the application was submitted in May, the funds will be credited on June 5.
