Information on the amount of maternal family capital comes annually in the form of a notice from the Pension Fund of Russia. Since there are a number of restrictions on spending maternity capital, such rare information is quite satisfactory for many. However, if necessary, you do not need to wait for the mandatory notification; you can independently view the information via the Internet on the State Services portal or on the Pension Fund website.

Information about the certificate is provided only to those users who have already confirmed their identity on the portal. After authorization, you need to go through the following branches:

There is only one electronic service, so you need to click on the active link about electronic information.

Other cases of obtaining information are available only by submitting an application in person to the Pension Fund.

After selecting a service on the page that opens, you must select “Get a service” - this is the only active button, which is located on the right side of the screen. After which a form will open for filling out an application for the amount of maternity capital balance.

Please note that there is virtually no need to fill out the form yourself. It will contain your passport information, which is pulled from the profile settings that you entered during registration. You will have to independently indicate only the type of social assistance, that is, maternity capital. It is also necessary to indicate the number of the certificate used for verification.

This form must be sent for verification and the result can be seen. The service is free, but information about the balance of maternity capital may not appear immediately. The application is processed within 30 days. The user is notified of the time the response appears via SMS, notification in the application or email. You can view the information on the main page of the portal under the application. However, usually the information is immediately displayed on the screen, and a certificate is received within the specified period.

How to find out the balance of MSK through the Pension Fund?

The owner of the certificate can personally contact the branch of the Pension Fund of Russia at any time. This method will work even if the family has changed their place of residence. In this case, an additional footnote is simply made in the document, and the current PF department makes a request to the previous one.

When applying to a branch of the Pension Fund, you must have a passport, SNILS and a certificate that confirms your right to social assistance. Please note that only parents for whom the certificate was issued can send a request to receive the balance.

However, a more convenient way is to check the information on the Pension Fund website. However, to do this you need to log into your personal account. If you have a profile on the State Services portal, you do not need to additionally register with the Pension Fund. Both sites use the same authorization system, which is also used for several other government departments. After logging into your account, you need to go through the following branches:

• We are looking for the “Maternity Capital” section on the website;
• Select the item “Get information about maternity capital”;

When selecting the last section, the user will see detailed information about what has happened with the certificate since it was issued. Please note that the online statement will contain information about what the money was spent on, as well as when it happened, so it is quite easy to track changes in the amount of maternity capital.

Important! With a one-time request for financial assistance, they are removed from maternity capital. However, the certificate itself is not exchanged for a new one. Financial movements can only be noticed when checking the balance. All withdrawal requests are processed only through PF. Sometimes scammers try to deceive citizens and receive a certificate in exchange for a small monetary reward.

Balance check requests are sent free of charge. However, you can check the account status only if the balance is more than 30 rubles.

How to order a certificate of MSK size?

You can get a certificate of the amount on the maternity capital certificate in the same ways as viewing the balance:

• When contacting a pension fund office in person;
• On the State Services portal;
• On the website of the Russian Pension Fund.

When applying to the Pension Fund, you must have your passport, child’s birth certificate and certificate with you. Employees issue a form for obtaining a certificate, after which they inform about the timing of its production. The validity period of such a document is 1 month.

Registration of a certificate through the State Services portal completely coincides with the procedure for viewing the balance. The certificate comes in electronic form and can be saved as a pdf file and printed if necessary.

Issuing a certificate through the pension fund website is somewhat different from the method of checking the balance. You need to go through the branches:

• Online services;
• Maternal family capital;
• Order a certificate about the balance of maternity capital.

Please note that when ordering an official document, you must indicate how it will be received: by mail or electronically. In electronic form, the certificate will look the same as when ordering through the State Services portal. In the case of receiving a certificate by mail, the user receives a notification after it is issued. And the document itself is sent by registered mail. The specific time for receiving a letter depends on the speed of mail delivery in different regions.

Such a certificate is usually required in cases where parents decide to use maternity capital to improve living conditions, educate a child, or transfer it to pension savings. The certificate itself confirms solvency in cases where the balance is higher than the down payment or the required amount to pay for housing or study.

The certificate is ordered specifically for the needs of citizens, since its validity period is limited. This document is free and has no request limits. The annual balance notice can also be considered a certificate whose validity period is 1 month.

If you are the holder of a certificate for maternity capital, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is obliged to annually provide you with information about the amount of the available balance of maternity capital by mail no later than September 1. However, once a year is too long a period. For your convenience, you can quickly obtain information about your balance at any convenient time online.

Maternity capital is a government subsidy that can solve various problems of Russian families raising more than one child. Many young parents prefer to split their maternity capital into parts to meet different needs. However, we must remember that the breakdown must occur strictly within the law.

A certificate of the balance of maternity capital is also in demand for the reason that the balance of funds is adjusted for inflation every year. In this regard, the amount in the personal account may change and it is very difficult, and sometimes even impossible, to independently calculate the balance.

What is its meaning

The pension fund, which is responsible for making maternity capital payments, guided by current legislation, does not interfere with the desire of families to invest the money owed to them in various areas. There is no prohibition that would not allow the payment to be divided into shares.

Regulatory documents provide for the spending of subsidies on the following needs:

• purchase, or (including repayment of a targeted loan at the expense of maternity capital);
• formation of a funded pension for the mother, which will allow you to receive additional interest and significantly increase the pension amount;
• education of children, it is expected to both pay for their stay at the university and receive higher education at a Russian university;

In addition, in 2009-2010, and later in 2019-2016. families also had the right to claim a one-time payment in the amount of up to 25 thousand rubles, which can be spent to satisfy any needs, without any legal restrictions.

A certificate of the balance of maternity capital may be needed if the family has already withdrawn part of the funds from the total amount several times and wants to know exactly how much budgetary finances still remain at their disposal.

The question may arise, why not take it and independently calculate how much of the remaining capital is still available to the family. After all, they know the total amount, as well as the size of each payment made.

In fact, the calculation process is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. This is due to the fact that until 2019 it changed annually. Indexation was carried out due to the constant rise in prices and inflation.

This leads to the fact that the part of the capital that remains unspent changes upward. Considering this fact, only employees of the Pension Fund can calculate everything correctly. And for this you need to contact the structure with a request to prepare the appropriate certificate.

This document will help determine future plans and, based on the existing results, the person will decide how to more effectively invest the money provided by the state in order to improve the living conditions of his entire family

How to obtain a certificate of maternity capital balance

One of the easiest ways to find out the balance of family capital is to use a special Internet calculator designed for this purpose, which allows you to perform all the necessary calculations yourself. It won’t be difficult to understand it: just enter the requested information step by step, and the calculator will make the necessary calculation. The only thing you need to know exactly is how much money was spent from the family capital in each year.

You may wonder why it is not enough to enter the total amount that was spent, and what happens if you enter inaccurate information. It's very simple, an inaccurate amount will be received. And this is all connected with the same indexation, which was carried out before 2019, and therefore the amount of maternity capital changed annually.

Another way to find out about your balance is to wait for a letter to arrive from the Pension Fund. Such a notification comes once a year without a prior request from the certificate owner, this happens before the first of September. If this option does not suit you, you can always contact the Pension Fund branch in person, and you will need to have your passport and certificate with you.

In addition, you can send a request for such a certificate to the Pension Fund by mail. Sending should be done by registered mail with a description of the attachment. You must include a copy of your passport and paper that confirms your rights to maternity capital, as well as the original application.

If a person wants to receive the rest of the family capital, he will have to go through the same structures and organizations as at the stage of initially receiving the payment, and collect all the necessary certificates and documents. You must contact the Pension Fund at your place of residence with a complete package of papers.

Execution speed and shelf life

Certificate owners have a natural question: how long does it take to make such a document? It should be noted that this depends on which structure the person initially applied to to obtain the document. For example, when ordering a certificate on the State Services website, you need to prepare for the fact that the waiting period may last from two weeks to one month.

When applying directly to the Pension Fund, it takes no more than 3 days. If we are talking about obtaining a certificate in another city, then this is possible, however, it will take a little longer than usual. First, you will have to contact the Pension Fund at your place of residence so that its employees request the transfer of the case from the department where the certificate for maternity capital was issued.

An application for a certificate about the amount of the balance will be accepted only after a personal file has been received. It often takes 10-14 days.

It will not be possible to order urgent preparation of this paper. Everyone who applies for it is forced to wait 2-3 days before they are issued a certificate.

The received certificate has its own validity period, which is 30 days from the moment the document was issued

Procedure for subsequent spending

Some people do not understand how to proceed after they find out about the balance of family capital. It must be said right away that it will definitely not be possible to cash out the funds somehow. Until the end of 2019 it was possible to get 25 thousand in cash, but at the beginning of 2019 this initiative was not continued, so today it will not be possible to receive even a small part of the amount to spend at your own discretion.

All maternal capital funds that are allocated are strictly controlled by authorized government agencies. You will not be able to spend a single ruble inappropriately. All financial flows must be directed by certificate owners for purposes defined by laws and regulations.

According to the provisions of the basic law, which regulates the procedure for paying maternity capital, as well as methods of spending funds, money can be spent on:

• improving living conditions for families;
• payment for children's education;
• for the formation of a funded pension.

It is not necessary to allocate capital to only one of the listed areas. You can divide the remainder into parts, depending on the needs of each individual family. You can request the balance in the same way as the initial payments, that is, by contacting the Pension Fund division.
