Maternity capital appointment
We remind you that maternity capital is paid to a family for the birth / adoption of a second or any subsequent child (third, fourth ...). In this case, the composition of the family does not play a role. But only a special certificate on the issuance of funds is handed out, while the money itself is kept in the account of the Pension Fund. At the request of the owners, this amount is partially or completely transferred as intended.
Matkapital can be used to improve housing conditions, pay a mortgage (down payment or close a loan), solve the housing issue, educate a child, receive medical services for a mother or child, pension contributions for one of the parents. These funds cannot be used to pay off consumer loans, purchase a car or some personal belongings.
