The single allowance will combine payments to women who are registered at an early stage of pregnancy, as well as payments in connection with the birth or adoption of a child under 17 years of age.

It is assumed that the amount of the allowance will depend on the income of the family. It can be from 50 to 100% of the regional PM for children. Pregnant women will receive from 50 to 100% of the regional PM of the working population.
