As social ties in society become more complex, among the reasons for a person’s need for social assistance from the state are added due to the nature of the economic forces that dominate society. Relations generate unemployment, inflation, poverty, and the maintenance of the elderly and disabled orphans, conducted within the family for a long time. In the villages and community, with the development of feudalism in Russia, it was supplemented by the provision of social assistance in kind, as well as by placing those in need in almshouses, invalids, and orphanages maintained at the expense of charity and donations, including under the supervision and care of the clergy.

One of the Direct Payments project’s main goals is to ensure timely benefits transfer. As we have already noted, delays are often caused by the employer’s financial and other problems. With a direct payment model, this risk factor is eliminated. At the same time, errors are possible due to the human element during the transition period – from the credit scheme to the new model. The employer must create registers of employees eligible for benefits transfer and other necessary data to the IRS. With a credit scheme, businesses must initially use their funds to pay for maternity benefits and sick leave. This money needs to be diverted from operational and economic activities, which can be unfavorable from a financial point of view.

The Right to Benefits for Temporary Disability, Pregnancy, and Childbirth
Benefits for temporary disability pregnancy and childbirth are assigned and paid to citizens subject to state social insurance, i.e., working under an employment contract. The benefit for pregnancy and birth is also paid to women dismissed in connection with the liquidation of organizations within twelve months preceding the day it recognized them as unemployed in the prescribed manner. Benefits are paid at the principal place of work or by the social protection authorities. The benefit is assigned if you follow the application no later than six months from the date of restoration of working capacity or the establishment of disability, the end of maternity leave. At the same time, temporary disability benefits for the past time are issued no more than 12 months from the date of application for benefits.
