Sick leave for caring for disabled people of groups 1-2

Is a certificate of incapacity required for caring for a seriously ill person?

Let's consider whether sick leave is given in case of caring for a relative. If a loved one is sick and needs to be cared for, then a certificate of incapacity for work is issued. It is issued if a sick relative is undergoing outpatient treatment and needs supervision. The following factors influence its issuance:

1. Failure to properly care for a patient can lead to death or serious deterioration in health.
2. The presence of indications that prevent the possibility of sending the patient to hospital for inpatient treatment.
3. Among relatives, no one else has an objective opportunity to care for the patient.

When there are disabled relatives in a family, situations often arise where more careful and close care for them is required. In this case, you can receive a certificate of incapacity for work:

• for a disabled child under 15 years of age – this is 120 days a year;
• for adults – standard, 30 days a year.

If there is a need to look after disabled adults, the duration of sick leave for care cannot exceed 7 days. So, you can take sick leave and extend it at the end of the period , but the company is unlikely to pay for it beyond the norm, and even more so the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) will not pay for it.

If treatment takes place in a hospital, then sick leave for care is not issued. In a hospital setting, the patient is cared for by qualified medical professionals. The only exception is provided for mothers and sick leave is possible provided that the child’s age is less than 15 years and she is in the hospital with him.

When caring for relatives suffering from cancer, sick leave is also issued. The duration of sick leave does not depend on the severity of the disease.

If a loved one has undergone surgery, they will not be kicked out of the hospital. He will be treated in hospital until his condition is satisfactory. A certificate of incapacity for work is not required.

If relatives wish to be present and help the patient, then only on their own initiative and without providing a certificate of incapacity for work. If, after inpatient treatment, close care is required during outpatient monitoring, then a certificate of incapacity for work can be issued to a relative of the patient.

Seriously ill, bedridden relatives, who may be in this condition for quite a long time, require careful and close care. In this case, sick leave is issued, but its terms are also regulated by law. still have to take leave without pay or hire a nurse for the duration of your illness .

The nuances of calculating benefits and paying sick leave if caring for a sick disabled child

A child is a minor close relative of an employee. That is, this category includes children (both natural and adopted), stepdaughters and stepsons, grandchildren, brothers and sisters who have not yet turned 18 years old. If these relatives have the status of “disabled,” the adult has the right to apply for sick leave to provide actual care.

Drawing up a document for a period of incapacity for work has a number of nuances. Depends on the age of the child and his illness. That is:

• If the child is under 7 years old, the relative caring for him will receive payment for the entire period of the minor’s illness, but not more than 60 calendar days per year. For some diseases, sick leave can be extended to 90 calendar days.
• If the child is already 7 years old, but not yet 15 years old, then the relative caring for him has the right to apply for up to 45 calendar days. Moreover, each period of incapacity for work cannot exceed 15 calendar days, unless the medical commission recognizes otherwise.
• If the child is already 15 years old, but not yet 18 years old, then the relative who is actually caring for him can take no more than 30 paid days per year. The duration of one period of incapacity for work cannot exceed 7 days, unless the medical commission decides to extend it.

For more severe illnesses, the number of paid days may be increased. But for this you need a conclusion from a medical commission. If a child has 1 disability group, then sick leave to care for him is paid as follows:

• You can only receive money for 120 calendar days per year. It does not matter for what purpose the document was drawn up - for inpatient care or outpatient care.
• Payment works like this: when caring for a patient in a hospital, an average salary is paid. For outpatient care - 100% of average earnings in the first 10 days of the child’s illness, subsequent days - in the amount of 50% of average earnings.

If an employee cared for an adult relative with a disability or a child with a disability greater than the limit established by law, then the subsequent days will not be paid by social insurance. The sick leave will be issued, it will be proof of absence from work for a good reason, but the employee will be free to sit at home and care for the sick person. They have no right to fire him during this period.

For how long can I apply?

The medical worker issues a certificate of incapacity for work to the patient’s relative for 3 days. If in the future there is a need for home care, then the certificate of incapacity for work is extended to seven days. The extension period does not exceed 7 days. Then the sick leave can be transferred to another relative, who can also provide proper care for the patient.

In one calendar year, working citizens can receive monetary compensation for sick leave from the Social Insurance Fund for only 30 days in total. This is possible provided that the sick relative was treated on an outpatient basis.

The exception to the rule is caring for a sick child. If the child is under 7 years of age, then the legislation of the Russian Federation does not limit the length of stay on sick leave. If the child’s age is from 7 to 15 years, then the period of one-time sick leave is regulated by 15 days.

Leave to care for a disabled person, group 2

There are different ways in which the state supports the disabled. Social support measures include leave to care for a disabled person.

Only an official representative of a disabled person can receive it; for this you need:

• submit an application to the social security authorities;
• written consent of the ward;
• If guardianship is arranged by a relative of the ward, then a power of attorney will be needed.

Fact: A person caring for close relatives from grades I and II is given additional days to the main vacation.

1 group

A person with 1 g. constant assistance from third parties is required. The employee has the right to submit a statement indicating the days that he asks to be provided with.

The employer, if there is a corresponding application, does not have the right to refuse to provide additional days off. The law establishes that the certificate of incapacity for caring for a bedridden patient is a maximum of 2 weeks.

2 groups

The second group is partially able to work. People of the second group also need help, but not as regularly as disabled people of the first. Therefore, it is not always possible to apply for leave to care for a disabled person, class II.

To apply for additional leave, you need to send the following package of documents to the social service:

• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• confirmation of relationship;
• statement;
• disability certificate;
• certificate from work.

For a disabled child

The law establishes five grounds for obtaining paid sick leave. This is the care:

• For minors up to seven years old. The paid part in this case is no more than two calendar months during the year. However, even if it lasts longer than the specified period, this will not become grounds for dismissal. An officially issued sick leave for child care is a valid reason. Payment will only be due for two months; the rest of the time will not be paid.
• For minors from 7 to 15 years. In this case, out of the entire period of care for a sick relative, only fifteen days are paid. If there is another sick leave during the billing period, then fifteen days of it will also be paid. A total of forty-five days can be paid in twelve months.
• In cases where a child has a disability since childhood, then the paid period is up to four months.
• If a child has oncology, then the temporary disability of the official representative is paid in full, regardless of the time spent on this leave.

Fact: In all of these cases, the child can undergo treatment both in a hospital and at home - payment will be made in accordance with current legislation.

• If a child is sick with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), then accrual is made only for the time spent in the hospital. If the patient is being treated at home, no payments will be made.

But it is worth considering that exceeding the established payment limits is not grounds for closing sick leave.

Payment amount

There are several types of government support for children with disabilities:

• social pension;
• monthly payments;
• monthly subsidies for carers of a disabled child;
• some free services.

All these payments and benefits are provided every month. In addition to these, various one-time assistance measures are provided:

• subsidy for accepting a child with a disability into a family - 124,930 rubles;
• tax deductions;
• regional and municipal benefits and benefits.

Amounts of federal payments for 2021:

If you add up all federal payments, then parents receive almost 20,000 rubles monthly for a child with a disability, and other persons receive almost 17,000 rubles.

Social pension

This payment is urgent. It is paid every month until the date established by the examination service or until the child’s eighteenth birthday. Subsidies are made from the Pension Fund. In the case of minor children, the concepts of “disability” and “work experience” do not apply.

For persons who have reached 18 years of age, the social pension is divided depending on the group and is paid under 2 conditions:

To whom is it given?

A certificate of incapacity for work is given to everyone who needs to care for a loved one, regardless of the degree of relationship. Sick relatives can be cared for by:

• parents;
• adult children (in what cases can you take sick leave to care for your parents?);
• Grandmothers and grandfathers;
• guardians and other close people.

To issue a sick leave certificate, a medical employee may request a passport, birth certificate, or marriage certificate. This information is necessary to enter the code in the relationship column. However, the doctor does not always require documentary proof of relationship to the patient. A verbal confirmation of the relationship is sufficient.

Sometimes a doctor agrees to issue a certificate of incapacity for work for a person who is not related by blood to the patient. But then problems may arise when receiving monetary compensation from the employer and the Social Insurance Fund.

In what cases is a certificate of incapacity for work not issued?

If a relative falls ill, this is not at all a reason to run to take out sick leave. There are criteria for refusing to provide sick leave:

1. The absence of any supervision over the patient will not lead to deterioration or death of the patient.
2. The illness of a loved one is chronic and there is no exacerbation now.
3. A relative who is applying for sick leave to look after and care for a sick person is on vacation (whether it is possible to get sick leave to care for a child during vacation is written in a separate article).
4. A sick person has the opportunity to undergo inpatient treatment in a hospital under the supervision of qualified medical workers.
5. There are other loved ones who can care for the patient.

In any case, you can always agree with your employer on a vacation at your own expense, if this situation cannot be avoided.

So, this article examined the criteria for issuing sick leave to care for relatives, factors that facilitate and hinder its issuance, and the possible timeframes under which a relative will definitely receive compensation from the Social Insurance Fund and the enterprise.
