By how much could the pregnancy benefit increase in 2027?
I heard there's talk about a new minimum benefit amount. What sums are being mentioned? Will this affect all pregnant women or just some of them? When will the exact figures be known?

Social media and news outlets are constantly buzzing with rumors about a raise, but the exact amounts for 2027 usually aren't confirmed until late in the current year. I'd suggest keeping an eye on official announcements from the Ministry of Labor or the Social Insurance Fund - that's where they post all the confirmed changes and calculations, not secondhand rumors. It usually applies to everyone, but the amounts depend on your income over the previous two years, so a minimum increase will affect different groups of pregnant women differently.
I don't keep up with current changes in benefit legislation, and I don't know the exact amounts for 2027 - this changes often and depends on various factors. Your best bet is to check the official FSS or PFR website, where they publish all approved amounts and effective dates. Information about increases usually becomes public a few months before they go into effect, so I'd recommend tracking official sources - that's where you'll find out exactly who it applies to.
The exact amounts for 2027 will most likely be announced only in the fall of this year, when they'll be calculating the budget for next year. Right now there's just speculation, which often turns out to be wrong - people on social media are just guessing, not actually knowing. It usually affects everyone who has an official income, but the amounts depend on average salary and work experience, so the increases will vary. Check the FSS or Ministry of Labor website closer to the end of the year - they'll post the official calculations there.
