Women who worked for individual entrepreneurs before going on maternity leave need to contact the local government’s “One Window” service to receive child care benefits for children under three years of age.
A similar procedure for applying for the specified benefit applies to women who worked in micro-organizations.
The press service of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection reminds of this.
The recommendations are posted on the department’s Telegram channel.
How to get child care benefits for children under 3 years of age if you worked for an individual entrepreneur
Women who worked for individual entrepreneurs or micro-organizations before going on maternity leave should contact the “One Window” service of the local government body at their place of registration.
Micro-organizations include organizations with up to 15 employees.
If maternity benefits have been paid, you must apply for child care benefits for a child under three years of age no later than six months from the day following the end of your maternity leave.
If maternity benefits have not been paid, you must apply for child care benefits for a child under three years of age no later than six months from the date of birth/adoption of the child or the establishment of guardianship over him.
The Ministry of Labor also explained from what date the child care allowance for a child under three years of age will be assigned.
If maternity benefits have been paid, benefits for caring for a child under three years of age are assigned from the day following the end of the payment of maternity benefits.
If maternity benefits have not been paid, child care benefits for children under three years of age are assigned from the date of birth/adoption of the child or the establishment of guardianship over the child.
If documents are submitted after 6 months, the benefit is assigned from the date of application.
