Amendments to the Code of Turkmenistan on social protection of the population have come into force today.
Under the new law, the lump sum payment for pregnancy and childbirth has been increased. For example, for the first child, they will now give a third more money (507 manats), and for the eighth child - 12 times more than the base size (4680 manats). The monthly care allowance will also rise by almost 30%. Young mothers will receive 292 manats a month.
Women who have been awarded the honorary title “Ene Myahri” (“Maternal tenderness”) will receive a 30% supplement to their pension, childcare allowance, disability and social benefits.
In addition, now mothers with many children will be able to retire two years earlier, that is, at 52 years old.
Pensions for orphans were also increased. If a large family with four children loses its breadwinner, each will receive 1,373 manats. And families with five or more children - 1,558 manats.
Earlier, we reported that new benefits for large families will be created in Turkmenistan.
