Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a federal law on pensions for children of unknown parents.

The law was drafted consistent with the National Action for Children in effect from 2012 till 2017. The document proceeded from the premise that children of unknown parents, or foundlings, have much less resources than even orphans after they leave the orphanage or graduate from school: they are not entitled to a loss-of-breadwinner (survivor) pension as they have never legally had any parents.

The law establishes a new type of social pension for this category of children in 2018. Children of unknown parents will be receiving social pensions at the amount of pensions paid to children who have lost both of their parents or the sole breadwinner.

The law entitles to the new type of pensions children whose birth was registered at the request of the police, child protection services, a medical institution, an education institution, or a social service institution upon the birth of a foundling or a child born to a mother who failed to present an identification document at the maternity home or the medical institution she visited after the childbirth.

Children, both of whose parents are unknown, will be receiving the pension until the age of 18 or as long they are full-time students, but no longer than the age of 23.

Should such a child be adopted, the payment of the social pension will stop on the first day of the month following the month of adoption.

The federal law was adopted by the State Duma on July 7, 2017, and approved by the Federation Council on July 12, 2017.
