The minimum amount of benefits for temporary disability. The maximum amount of temporary disability benefits

Each citizen who has become registered with the territorial employment center is entitled to the payment of unemployment benefits. Its size, terms, conditions of appointment depend on many factors and are regulated by the head of the Law "On Employment in the Russian Federation".

What is the amount of the allowance

The minimum and maximum allowance for each year is established by the Government of the Russian Federation. The amount of unemployment benefits in 2019 has changed for the first time in 10 years.

• minimal assistance is only 1500 rubles;
• The maximum amount of unemployment benefit cannot exceed the amount of 8000 rubles;
• for people of pre-retirement age 11280 rub.

With regards to pre-retirement age, the picture looks like this:

How are payments calculated?

There are two ways to determine the amount of benefits: non-calculated and calculated.

Estimated

When the amount of social benefits depends on the average wage in the last 3 months before the date of dismissal from the last place of work on the basis of a certificate of salary from the enterprise.

However, strict conditions must be met:

When calculating the amount of assistance, only the legal salary is taken into account, so if the main income was “in an envelope”, you cannot count on large amounts (see).

The amount of benefits paid depends on the specific period:

• 75% of the accrued average monthly salary in the first 3 months of the unemployment period;
• 60% - in the next 3 months.

As you can see, the allowance is paid within 6 months. However, there is an exception for pre-pensioners:

• 75% of the average monthly salary (first 3 months);
• 60% over the next 4 months (respectively 4,5,6,7 months);
• 45% - in the remaining time (remaining 5 months). For unemployed citizens, the benefit period is 1 year.

The amount of average earnings is determined on the basis of a certificate from the last workplace for the last 3 three months. Employees of the employment service independently determine the level of the average salary.

The amount of assistance is calculated in such a way as to encourage a person to look for a new job without waiting for the end of the accrual period. But always the amount of payments should not go beyond the maximum (8,000 rubles and 11,280 rubles for citizens of the pre-retirement period) and the minimum (1,500 rubles) threshold. The regional coefficient is added to the upper and lower thresholds (for residents with harsh climate conditions).

Non-calculating way

In this case, the allowance is assigned in the minimum amount without any reference to the citizen's income.

The procedure for determining the amount of payment of benefits for residents of the northern regions

Here, the total amount is increased by a district coefficient, depending on the specific place of residence, and can reach the value "2". The coefficient is set to the minimum and maximum size. On the territory of Russia, not all regions apply the coefficient. For example, it is not in the Krasnodar Territory, Astrakhan, Moscow, Volgograd Regions, etc.

Who is eligible for the minimum benefit?

• people who have never officially worked before;
• those wishing to resume their activities after a break of 1 year or more;
• dismissed for their own guilty actions (truancy, drunkenness, etc.);
• who worked less than 26 weeks in the last year before contacting the employment service;
• the person was in an employment relationship, but did not receive a salary (for example, was on leave for a long time for family reasons);
• if unemployed - an individual entrepreneur who has ceased entrepreneurial activity;
• expelled from educational institutions to which the employment service sent, for guilty actions;
• who left the members of the peasant economy;
• unemployed who have not submitted a certificate of average earnings from work for the last 3 months.

When can you contact

For benefits, a person can come to the employment service at any time. In his interests, the sooner he does it, the better. Since if a significant period passes, for example, more than six months, despite the validity of the reason, then the amount of the benefit will only be minimal.

In the case of liquidation / downsizing, if a dismissed employee registers as unemployed within 2 weeks, then the employer will pay the average monthly salary for 3 months, instead of the two required.

The allowance is assigned simultaneously with the registration of the unemployed no later than 11 days from the date of submission of the application to the Employment Center. What a decision is made, with which the unemployed is introduced against signature.

If a citizen believes that the amount of the benefit has been unfairly underestimated, then he can appeal this in court. If you file a claim only on the issue of the amount of the allowance, then this will not concern the registration itself and will not worsen the situation of the citizen.

But employment service workers have got their hands on the correctness of calculations and rarely make mistakes.

How long is assistance paid?

Dismissal due to staff reduction or liquidation of the organization

If a person was fired due to the liquidation of the company or to reduce staff (number), then the accrual begins immediately after the end of the period during which the average earnings are maintained in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (from 2 to 3 months).

How much do benefits pay

After the expiration of this time, a person does not lose the status of unemployed, but he is no longer entitled to any assistance.

However, a subsequent appeal to the employment center is allowed if a person finds a job and works for a significant time.

Grace payment terms

Art. 32 of the Law provides for grace periods for the payment of assistance. If a person has not reached the pre-retirement age and has an appropriate insurance period (20 years for a woman and 25 years for a man) or preferential length of service, then for each year of the length of service exceeding the initial values, the period of assistance increases by 14 days. In this case, the total period of payments cannot exceed 2 years within 36 months. Let's consider the situation with an example.

for example: a 51-year-old woman has 27 years of insurance experience. In this case, she can receive money for 14 weeks more, that is, 12 months plus 14 weeks ((27-20) X 2 weeks). As a result, assistance will be paid not for a year, as provided for by the general rules, but for a little more than 15 months.

The allowance is paid according to the principle of 1 allowance per month during the allowable calendar period, regardless of how much funds need to be paid in the end.

Suspension of benefits

Art. 35 of the Law provides for a number of cases when the payment of assistance may be suspended:

• if the employment center offers the unemployed two job options that are suitable for qualification requirements, distance from home to the workplace, health status, and he refuses the offers;
• if the unemployed person, after 3 months from the date of granting him this status, refuses to undergo training in the direction of the employment center or participate in paid jobs offered by the service;
• appearing at the reception in a state of intoxication;
• deductions from the place of study, where the unemployed was sent by the employment center, for guilty actions (for example, violation of discipline);
• unauthorized termination of attendance at the educational institution where the unemployed was sent;
• dismissal from the last place of work for their own guilty actions.

In such cases, the administration of the service, as a sanction, may decide to suspend the payment of assistance. for up to 1 month.

The consequences for a person will not be desirable, since benefits are not paid during the suspension, and the total payment period will run.

Why does the benefit stop?

For a number of actions, the payment of assistance to the unemployed is terminated, and the citizen himself is excluded from the register with the employment service. This happens if:

• the man found a job. At the same time, the employment service does not have to provide a job, it is quite possible that a citizen will find an official job on his own;
• the unemployed during the course of training receives a scholarship from the state;
• a citizen without any good reason does not appear at the employment center. The list of circumstances that are considered valid reasons is specified in the Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated January 15, 2013 No. 10-n and is disclosed in our article “How to get unemployment benefits”;
• citizen moved to another city. In this case, a person can be registered again;
• an attempt to obtain assistance by fraudulent activities was detected;
• the person was sentenced to imprisonment or corrective labor;
• the person refused the services of the service on his own initiative;
• if the unemployed person was granted a pension for long service or old age;
• if the citizen is dead. The funds not received at the time of death are transferred in accordance with Article 1183 of the Civil Code to the family members of the deceased.

In addition, in some cases, the payment of assistance is also not made, but this period is not included in the total period during which the state is obliged to pay assistance:

• during maternity leave. It is paid by the Social Insurance Fund;
• receiving benefits for caring for a child under the age of 1.5 years;
• if a citizen was called to events related to military service;
• if the unemployed went to another city to study at educational institutions.

Is it possible to reduce the payment?

It is wrong to think that the unemployed person will receive the established average amount of benefits until he finds a job. Maybe reduction of funds received by a quarter, if:

• the citizen refused, without good reason, to visit the employment center in order to get a referral to study or work
• or within three calendar days did not appear at the employer, to which the employment center issued a referral.

Please note that the employment service is obliged to notify the unemployed of the sanctions. To do this, a citizen can be sent a letter with a list of attachments, which guarantees that the unemployed person has familiarized himself with the decision of the employment service. If a person does not agree with the decision made by the administration, then he can appeal it in court.

When calculating temporary disability benefits, do not forget that the amount of this benefit has a maximum limit, the excess of which will be impossible. This article will help calculate the maximum amount of temporary disability benefits in accordance with the current changes in the legislation of the Russian Federation for 2020.

Who is eligible for temporary disability benefits?

The payment of temporary disability benefits in accordance with the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ “On compulsory insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood” is due to employees who are unable to perform their labor duties due to a number of reasons:

• employee illness or injury, including medical termination of pregnancy and in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures;
• caring for a sick family member;
• quarantine of an employee or a child under the age of 7 attending a preschool educational organization, or another family member recognized by law as legally incompetent;
• implementation of prosthetics in a stationary specialized medical institution;
• rehabilitation in sanatorium-resort institutions on the territory of the Russian Federation after inpatient treatment.

Conditions necessary for the payment of temporary disability benefits

In accordance with Article 6 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ, in order to pay benefits for temporary disability, a number of conditions must be met in terms of the maximum allowable period of disability when assigning payments:

How to calculate the amount of temporary disability benefit?

• the average daily wage of an employee;
• number of sick days.

To determine the average daily earnings, you must set:

• billing period ;
• earnings for 2 years.

In accordance with Federal Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006, the billing period is 2 years preceding the year in which the employee's disability occurred, which is 730 days.

Thus, the formula for calculating the average daily earnings will be as follows:

After calculating the average daily earnings, you can proceed to the calculation of temporary disability benefits:

For example:

Serov S.S., who is an employee of ABV LLC under an indefinite employment contract, provided a certificate of temporary disability, which indicates the period of illness 04/04/2017 - 04/12/2017 (9 days). Total work experience 10 years.

To calculate temporary disability benefits, the employee's earnings for 2015 and 2016 will be considered.

Earnings of Serov S.S. for 2015 amounted to 250,000 rubles, for 2016 - 350,000 rubles.

Average daily earnings (250,000 + 350,000) / 730 = 821.92 rubles.

The amount of temporary disability benefits is 821.92 * 9 = 7397.28 rubles.

What affects the amount of the benefit?

It must be understood that in accordance with the law (Article 7 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ), the amount of the allowance is calculated individually.

In case of illness, quarantine or injury of an employee, undergoing sanatorium rehabilitation after undergoing inpatient treatment, prosthetics in a specialized hospital, the payment of temporary disability benefits depends on the length of service:

In addition to the work experience of the employee, the maximum amount of the benefit payment depends on the life circumstances in which the employee found himself:

The maximum amount of temporary disability benefits

The maximum amount of an employee's income is established by law. If we are talking about calculating temporary disability benefits in 2017, then you need to take the following indicators of the income limit:

• 2015 - 670,000 rubles;
• 2016 - 718,000 rubles.

So, when calculating average daily earnings in 2017 the maximum size will be: (670000 + 718000) / 730 = 1901.97 rubles.

For example:

Serkov S.S. was on sick leave from 05/02/2017 to 05/10/2017 (9 days), about which the employer was provided with a certificate of temporary disability. In this organization Serkov S.S. has been operating since 2014. The total work experience is 18 years.

Average earnings in 2015 - 830,000 rubles, in 2016 - 718,000 rubles.

Taking into account the excess of the maximum income of the employee for the indicated years, the appointment of temporary disability benefits will be carried out on the basis of the maximum income established by law.

Thus, the amount of temporary disability benefits Serkova S.S. will be:

(670000 + 718000) / 730 = 1901.97 rubles (average daily earnings),

1901.97 * 9 = 17117.73 rubles.

Who pays benefits in 2020?

Since 01/01/2017, the administration of all insurance premiums has been transferred to the tax authorities, which raises the question of the role of the FSS in the payment of temporary disability benefits. From 2017, the Social Insurance Fund will continue to conduct inspections aimed at identifying violations in the payment of benefits by employers and allocate funds to reimburse employers for the payment of benefits.

Documents required for the calculation of benefits

In accordance with Article 13 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ, in order to accrue temporary disability benefits, an employee must provide:

• sheet of temporary disability;
• a certificate of the amount of earnings from the previous place of work for the previous 2 years;
• a certificate of the amount of earnings and the absence of appointment and payment of temporary disability benefits if the employee works part-time and claims to receive benefits in one place;
• if necessary, documents confirming the insurance experience.

If it is impossible to provide the original certificate of the amount of earnings for 2 years from the previous place of work, it is possible to provide a duly certified copy.

Deadline for benefit payment

The period for the payment of temporary disability benefits is legally established:

Questions and answers

Question number 1. From 05/02/2017 to 05/15/2017 I was on sick leave. She worked in the organization for 6 months and quit on May 16, 2017.

25.08.2019

The illness of an employee, his child or a close relative allows, which, after closing, can be given to work to receive payment.

The amount of payment is limited by law and the maximum amount. The upper bar is determined by the marginal bases for insurance social contributions.

The maximum amount of average daily earnings in 2019

The sick leave payment is calculated based on the following parameters:

• average daily earnings - ;
• number of disabled days;

If these indicators are known, then it is possible to determine the amount of benefits payable for the days of disability.

The average daily earnings, in turn, is defined as the amount of income for the 2 years preceding the year the sick leave was opened, divided by 730.

For the calculation, the amounts actually earned by the employee are taken. However, a situation is possible when the employee's income is significant, the legislation provides for a restriction in such a case.

For the annual income of an employee, the amount of wages that does not exceed the marginal base for insurance contributions for social insurance in connection with disability can be taken.

If an employee has earned an amount in a year that is greater than the limit value, then the maximum annual indicator of this base is taken into account.

Every year, the size of the base for social contributions changes upwards:

• 670000 rub. – for 2015;
• 718000 rub. – 2016
• 755000 rub. – 2017;
• 815000 rub. – 2018

If an insured event in the form of temporary disability occurred in 2019, then the calculation of the hospital benefit is carried out for 2017-2018. To determine the maximum amount of average daily earnings, you need to take the limit values ​​\u200b\u200bfor the corresponding years as annual income, add them up and divide by 730.

Maximum average daily earnings \u003d (755,000 + 815,000) / 730 \u003d 2150.68 rubles.

The amount of temporary disability benefit for one day

The hospital allowance for 1 day is calculated as the average daily earnings multiplied by a percentage in accordance with the insurance period of the employee.

To determine the maximum amount of payment for one day of incapacity for work, you need to multiply by in the following order:

• With experience up to 5 years = 2150.68 * 60% = 1290.41.
• From 5 to 8 years = 2150.68 * 80% = 1720.54.
• From 8 years = 2150.68.

If there are more than one days on the sick leave, then the corresponding maximum daily payment is multiplied by the duration of the period of incapacity for work.

Who is entitled to this payment?

In what cases can an employee receive the maximum payout on a sheet? This is possible only in one case - if the employee's income is so high that it exceeds the maximum size of the contribution bases.

Only in the case of high earnings for the annual income of such an employee will the most possible amount be accepted, and the sick leave payment will be maximum.

In other cases, the appointment of the maximum payment is not provided.

An example of calculating payment by sheet

Example conditions:

In 2017, 765,000 were earned, in 2018 - 860,000.

We calculate the due payment for 7 days of illness, if the insurance period is 6.5 years.

Calculation:

Earnings for both accounting years exceeded the marginal bases for social contributions, therefore, an amount equal to this base is taken as the annual income of an employee.

Average daily earnings = (755000 + 815000) / 730 = 2150.68.

Daily sick pay = 2150,68*80% = 1720,54.

Benefit amount = 1720.54 * 7 = 12043.78.

For the maximum amount of sick leave, see the video:

According to the current legislative norms, a woman is entitled to established payments from the state in connection with motherhood, they depend on the amount of her salary in the billing period, but are limited to the maximum amount, which is determined annually.

Calculation procedure

A woman during her pregnancy, as well as immediately after its completion, is given a sick leave, lasting from 140 days.

This period of time is called maternity leave.

Then she has the right to issue for the implementation of direct newborn care until he is a year and a half old. This type of exemption from work can be taken not only by the mother, but also by any other member of the family, if he directly cares for the child. These two periods are named and subject, according to the current legislation.

They are paid according to the following algorithm:

• The basis for accrual is two years before the start of the current year, in which the sick leave was issued.
• The average daily earnings are calculated, then multiplied by the number of days of the paid period.
• Leave associated with pregnancy and subsequent childbirth is paid in full, regardless of whether the woman has an insurance period.
• Care leave is paid in the amount of 40%, also regardless of the length of service and who takes it.

Both of these payments are limited minimum and maximum limits, which change almost annually, depending on the value of and .

Upper limit of prenatal care

In 2019, the following maximum allowable amount of benefits in connection with pregnancy and childbirth was legalized - 301,095.89 rubles.

This amount applies to sick leave of 140 days. If this period has been extended due to complications or multiple pregnancy, then the amount will be increased in proportion to the added days.

This amount is obtained when calculating the base for benefits. The FSS sets a maximum amount for the transfer of contributions for each year.

Payments in 2019 will be determined from bases installed in 2017-2018.

They will be equal:

• 2017 - 755,000;
• 2018 - 815,000 rubles.

This limit cannot be exceeded, even if in one of the years the woman did not have accruals and the minimum wage is taken as the basis.

Then, from this amount, the average daily payment is calculated, with the help of which sick leave payments will be calculated. According to this calculation, the limit average daily wage cannot exceed 2150.68 rubles.

Children under 1.5 years old

When determining the monthly child care allowance the above amounts are also taken, only the calculation is made with some differences:

Thus, maximum allowance paid for childcare is: 2150.68 * 30.4 * 0.4 = RUB 26,152.33.

It will paid monthly, regardless of how many days there are in the current month, and will not change with the onset of a new calendar year.

In the month when the child turns one and a half years old, the payment is calculated in proportion to the number of days preceding the birthday.

Regional features

Many regions set various allowances, including for pregnant women.

In areas with difficult conditions, for example in the Far North, these are different, which are set at the federal level. In other regions, such as in Moscow, these may be payments established by local authorities.

In any case, no matter what the surcharges are. They cannot be applied to maximum decree values.

That is, in practice, this means that if the northern coefficient operates in the region, then the maximum amount of payment for pregnancy and child care will not be increased, while they will be applied to the minimum amounts.

The same can be said about allowances in the capital, all of them will be a separate payment and financed from the regional budget, while payments for pregnancy and child care come from the social insurance budget.

Thus, maximum allowances are equal:

• for maternity leave for standard 140 days - 301,095.89 rubles.
• monthly payment for the care of a child under one and a half years old – RUB 26,152.33.

This means, no matter how high the salary of a woman, or a person who will care for a newborn, is, they will not receive more than the maximum amount.

For benefits for pregnant women and parents caring for young children, see the following video:

In 2020, the size of the one-time maternity allowance (M&R), in accordance with Federal Law No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995, for women who are in a different social status at the time of maternity leave, is calculated from the average salary or can be set in the minimum amount.

Thus, the allowance can be equal to:

• 100% of the average earnings - for working women subject to compulsory insurance in case of disability and maternity;
• 100% of the amount of monetary allowance - for contract servicemen;
• in the minimum fixed amount - in all other cases (including some categories of unemployed - students who were dismissed during the liquidation of the organization, etc.).

The legislative framework that establishes the indicated amounts of the B&R allowance:

• Art. 8 of Federal Law No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995 "On State Benefits for Citizens with Children";
• Art. 11 of Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006 "On compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood".

No major changes in calculus there was no maternity benefit compared to previous years, with the exception of the indexation of the minimum fixed amount by 3% from February 1, 2020, annual and.

• The amount of the allowance is calculated from the salary or other type of income, taking into account the district coefficient (if the latter is relevant for the area where the woman leaving the decree lives, and it has not already been taken into account when calculating wages).
• If a woman has combined work for at least two years two employers, then the amount of the allowance is calculated from the salary of each of them. Then, in the antenatal clinic, she must issue two maternity sick leaves to provide for each place of work.
• The payout amount based on the minimum wage(minimum wage), is subject to annual indexation in accordance with the increase in the subsistence level of the able-bodied population on average in Russia (the minimum wage from January 1, 2020 is 12,130 rubles).

Maximum maternity benefit in 2020

The amount of maternity allowance generally depends on the average salary, but if the income is too high limited within certain limits. That is, with an annual salary, for example, of a million rubles, maternity payments will not be charged from this amount, but from a smaller one - from which, according to the law, they can be paid by the employer contributions to insurance funds(PFR, MHIF and FSS).

Attention

Compared to the previous year, in 2020, the maximum limits for maternity benefits increased. This happened because of the new limits on the bases from which mandatory contributions to Social Insurance Fund(FSS).

Benefits begin to accrue only after the woman goes on maternity leave. That is, a pregnant woman will receive it in a smaller amount if she goes on vacation for BiR later than the deadline. The minimum duration of a full vacation in BiR is 140 days(70 days before delivery and 70 after), however, it can increase with multiple or complicated pregnancies - the amount of the lump-sum payment due will increase in proportion to the duration.

• For each day of processing a woman will receive regular salary, so for these days she will not be entitled to maternity payments.
• When leaving on maternity leave from the main job and from a combined position at different times, the allowance will be accrued for a different number of days.

Average earnings for calculating sick leave benefits

According to the established rule, maternity payments are calculated on the basis of average earnings for two previous full calendar years. At the same time, unlike the usual sick leave for temporary disability, the amount of maternity benefit is not affected by the work experience of the employee (provided that it is more than 6 months).

Attention

For those who issue a decree in 2020, the settlement years will be 2018 and 2019. When working part-time, the average amount of earnings is taken according to the amounts actually paid.

The average earnings used in the calculation include all types of income of a woman from which contributions to the FSS. To him, in accordance with Art. 9 of the law of July 24, 2009 No. 212-FZ do not include:

• social insurance benefits, including temporary disability payments (sick leave);
• periods of release from work with full or partial pay;
• one-time material assistance paid by the employer to employees in the amount of up to 4,000 rubles. for the billing period;
• other less common types of payments.

When calculating average earnings are taken into account these incomes:

• salary and travel allowance;
• bonuses, fees;
• holiday pay;
• compensation for unused vacation;
• financial assistance from the employer over unaccounted for 4,000 rubles.

Average daily earnings is calculated by dividing the income from which insurance premiums were paid to the FSS for two calendar years by the number of days in this period (in the simplest case - 730 days). The total number of days does not include:

• The periods during which the woman was on sick leave, on leave for BiR and childcare.
• Days when the employee was released from duties with partial or full salary retention, if no social insurance contributions were accrued during this time.

Attention

If during one or both accounting years a woman was on maternity leave or parental leave, then such a calendar period is allowed (but not obligatory) to be replaced by any other. The main thing is that when measuring the amount of payments does not decrease.

The resulting figure is multiplied by the number of days on maternity leave and we get the amount of the benefit in each case. The allowance can be calculated after the end of sick leave(main and, if any, additional), which will indicate the number of days of vacation in BiR.

Decree may last:

• 140 days - base case;
• 156 days - with complications during childbirth;
• 194 days - at the birth of two or more children at the same time.

The marginal base for calculating insurance premiums in 2020 (table)

The average earnings for maternity leave for each billing year cannot exceed the maximum established by law. The size of the latter is base limit, with which in the FSS insurance premiums are charged.

Limit sizes of bases for accrual of maternity leave in 2010-2020. are shown in the table below. For annual salaries in excess of the amounts given, the figures from the table will be used.

Limits of the insurance base for contributions to the FSS for 2010-2020.

Note: The limit bases for years before 2018 are given for cases where a woman wants to replace the year in which she was on maternity leave or on leave to care for another child with a different calendar period, and also simply for comparison purposes (for illustration).

Attention

If the employee's salary in the billing year exceeds the amount presented in the table, then the employer did not pay contributions to the FSS from any part of the salary in excess of the above limit and, accordingly, it cannot be fully taken into account when calculating benefits.

In fact, the law limits not only the annual total that is taken into account, but also indirectly the actual average daily earnings.

• In general, when calculated in 2020, it cannot exceed the sum of the marginal bases for 2018 and 2019 divided by 730 (the number of days in two ordinary years) or 731 (if one of the two years is a leap year).

Attention

If a woman's earnings for some certain part of the settlement calendar period were below the minimum wage or were absent at all, then during this time the amount is also calculated based on the minimum wage.
