Vladimir Putin proposed paying families the unused balances of maternity capital

‘After people spend the main part of their maternity capital, a small amount remains that seemingly cannot be used for anything. People should be allowed to use the remaining money. Let us start with 10,000 rubles,’ Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with families who were finalists in the nationwide competition ‘It Runs in the Family’.

The head of state also supported indexing the payment for caring for children with disabilities.
