Five practical steps

Obtain the full calculation

A banking-app total is insufficient.

Do not confuse it with maternity benefit

Maternity has a separate basis and protection.

Verify the living minimum

Use category, region, date and dependants.

Collect treatment evidence

Necessary additional expenses require a separate claim.

Disclose the receipt

Direct Social Fund payment remains the debtor’s income.

Why Sick Pay Is Not Automatically Excluded

Article 213.25 of Federal Law No. 127-FZ includes income received during asset realization subject to statutory exclusions. Article 101(1)(9) of Federal Law No. 229-FZ protects insurance benefits but expressly lists temporary-incapacity benefit as an exception to that immunity. The entire payment therefore does not become untouchable automatically.

The debtor and proven dependants still retain the applicable living minimum under Article 446 of the Civil Procedure Code and Supreme Court Plenum Resolution No. 48.

Treatment May Justify Additional Exclusion

Sick leave often coincides with medicine, examination, rehabilitation or care expenses. A general statement does not increase protected funds. Keep prescriptions, contracts, receipts, recurrence and reasons the expense is currently necessary. Disagreements should be resolved within the bankruptcy case rather than by unapproved withdrawal.

FAQ

Will all sick pay be taken?

Protected living funds remain, but the whole payment has no automatic immunity.

Why does the Social Fund pay?

The direct payer does not change the benefit type.

What if two months arrive together?

Obtain a month-by-month accrual breakdown.

Can medicine costs be considered?

They may be justified separately with evidence.

Should the receipt be disclosed?

Yes, even when the bank labels it social.
