The changes will affect incapacity for work, which was dismissed for children under the age of eight. In this case, the payment amount will be 100 percent of your average earnings.
“It will no longer depend on the length of service, as now stated, which is especially important for young mothers and fathers who have not yet had time to gain work experience. “, – stressed the Prime Minister.
Mishustin added that these changes will not fall on the shoulders of employers: the increased payments will go directly from the Social Insurance Fund (FSS). For these purposes, the Cabinet of Ministers allocated a billion rubles.
The head of government also stressed that parents will not have to prepare additional documents to receive payments: all calculations will be performed by the FSS on the basis of incapacity data.
Earlier this month, Mishustin signed a decree on the procedure and conditions for determining and paying monthly benefits for pregnant women and single parents with children.
The document will cover pregnant women who are in a difficult financial situation and are registered in the early stages of pregnancy, as well as parents who are raising children between the ages of 8 and 17 and have a low income.

EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell criticized Minsk for using migrants on the border with the European Union after a meeting of the EU Council of Foreign Ministers.
According to Borrell, the EU is monitoring the situation on the borders with Belarus and Lithuania. “There is information that the Belarusian authorities are also sending migrants to the Polish border,” he said.
Borrell called on the Belarussian authorities to comply with the international ones, and threatened that if this behavior continued, the EU could consider imposing new sanctions on Minsk.
“Migrants' pressure to cross the border is unacceptable, and that is happening at the Lithuanian and Polish borders,” Borrell emphasized.
Hundreds of illegal immigrants detained on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border
In a few months, a barbed wire fence will appear on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border. In this way, the Lithuanian authorities hope to stop the influx of migrants from the Middle East entering the country from Belarus. The fence will stretch to 550 kilometers and will cost Vilnius 41 million euros.
The Belarus-Lithuania border stretches for 679 km. It is only partially equipped: the fence passes through a section 78 kilometers long, another 92.5 km passes through water areas, which means that it is impossible to place a fence there. The additional wall can therefore only be built on a site about 500 km long. “ Everything will look like this: we install a barbed barrier and build a fence in parallel. We will use a thorny barrier when building the fence, it will be double protection & # 39; & # 39 ;, & mdash; Lithuanian Interior Minister Agne Bilotaite told reporters on Friday.
“ Barbed wire & # 39; Bruno's spiral & # 39 ;, & # 39; & # 39; mdash; said “ MK & # 39; & # 39; Lithuanian political scientist Anatoly Ivanov. & mdash; To some extent, this will make it impossible for migrants, but this spiral will not stop it. Today, there is a unanimous European position that does not support the construction of this fence. Europeans are based on the fact that the Berlin Wall collapsed and 25 years later built the inner walls: the Greek wall, the Hungarian wall, the Croatian wall and now the Lithuanian wall & ndash; they all appear in the European Union, and this is not normal. & # 39; & # 39; They do not aim to fill the territory of Lithuania and lead to any changes in legislation. “ They just want to live a normal life. Yes, they are legally illiterate, but they can be understood & ndash; they want a good life & raquo ;, & mdash; Ivanov explained.
The political scientist emphasized that Lithuania could even benefit from this situation. Firstly, there are politicians in the country who are trying to get polls on the anti-Russian theme – “; the alleged “hybrid war” against Lithuania was not unleashed by Minsk but by Moscow. Secondly, in 2021, Lithuania will not receive money from European funds, which will make the state and local government budgets look poorer. The Lithuanian authorities can partially take advantage of the border situation and raise money. & Nbsp;
As for the Belarusians, they are paying attention to the construction of the walls. Few people are satisfied with the prospect of isolation. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko himself has repeatedly said that Minsk will not help EU countries control drug trafficking and illegal migration. He noted that due to Western sanctions in the region, Belarus “ has neither the money nor the strength.“
