SINGAPORE – A new $3,000 grant announced on Friday (Oct 9) will help parents meet the costs of raising a child amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Mums and dads of children born from Oct 1 this year to Sep 30, 2022 will be eligible for the one-off Baby Support Grant.
Here are some frequently asked questions.
Is my child eligible for the grant if he or she was born on Oct 1, 2020?
Yes, parents of Singaporean children born from Oct 1, 2020 to Sept 30, 2022 (both dates inclusive) are eligible for the one-off grant of $3,000. Each couple will get $3,000.
How and when will the Baby Support Grant be disbursed? Are there any restrictions on its use?
The grant will be deposited into the same bank account that parents have nominated for receiving the Baby Bonus cash gift.
