Parents of 26 million Russian kids have already received payments for children under the age of 16, RIA Novosti reports. The Ministry of Labor and Social Development explained that the data on lump-sum payments was collected on July 6.

 99% percent of families who receive monthly allowances for children under three years and lump sum payments for children from three to sixteen years already received 10,000 rubles.

According to the Minister of Labor Anton Kotyakov, for the first time the department worked out a measure of social support on the principles of "social treasury". They involve prompt support of citizens without the need to collect any additional documents. Moreover, it is not even necessary to submit an application if a citizen has previously applied for similar support.

The funds are intended for each child who was born between May 11, 2004 and June 30, 2020. At the same time, parents do not need to apply for payments anywhere. They are appointed at a time on the basis of applications previously submitted to the Pension Fund.

If parents or guardians have not yet begun to draw up documents for receiving previous benefits, they have three more months to do it - the applications are accepted until the beginning of October. Fifteen thousand rubles are allocated to children under the age of 3 years. They are paid monthly for three months - from April to June.
