About the question of the place of maternity capital in the system of social security
The legal nature of the relationship between maternity capital and legal science has not been fully resolved and remains debatable. The relevance of the issue under consideration is that abstraction from this theoretical problem leads to a lack of system and insufficient terminology of the conceptual apparatus of social security law. In practice, this negatively affects the quality of normative legal acts, especially at the regional level, where, among other things, proposals for specific social security measures should be produced, complicates law enforcement activities. The author attempts to resolve the issue of the possibility of considering the relationship of granting maternity capital as a social security relationship, and maternal capital as an independent social security provision. In this article, maternity capital is considered through the prism of mandatory elements of the structure and properties of a social security grant, which allow them to be separated from payments and benefits provided for other branches of law.
