Return of Maternity (Family) Capital to the Budget of the Russian Pension Fund: Grounds, Order, Legal Effects

The article proves the necessity of consolidating in the Federal Law "On Additional Measures of State Support for Families with Children" the grounds, order and legal consequences of the return of maternity (capital) funds to the budget of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation after the authorized person has exercised the right to dispose of them. The need for such regulation arises when the contract aimed at improving living conditions is declared null and void, terminated and in other cases when the warranted person has the opportunity to use maternal (capital) funds for purposes other than prescribed by the law. In the absence of appropriate norms in the legislation on social security, the return of maternal (family) capital in such situations is ensured by the application of civil law norms with due regard to the peculiarities of maternal (family) capital as a form of social security. At the same time, the potential capacity of civil law rules applied to regulate such relations is limited. The return of maternity capital to the budget of the RF Pension Fund inevitably raises the issue concerning the possibility of re-disposing the funds. Based on the analysis of judicial decisions in cases of "restoring" the right to additional measures of state support, the author comes to a conclusion that the legislative regulation of terms and order for re-implementation of the right in question is needed. "Restoration" of the right to maternity (family) capital should be permitted only after the funds have been returned to the budget. The legal consequences of such a return should be differentiated by the law-maker depending on whether the authorized person acted in good faith disposing of the maternity (family) capital funds. Unfair use of the right to additional measures of state support should be taken into account when the law-maker determines the possibility of re-implementation or application of additional conditions for this.
