FAQs

 

Question 1: How is the Large Families Scheme different from the Baby Bonus Scheme?

Answer: The Large Families Scheme builds on existing marriage and parenthood support such as the Baby Bonus Scheme. The Large Families Scheme provides parents with an additional $16,000 in support ($5,000 via the Large Family MediSave Grant, a $5,000 increase in Child Development Account First Step Grant, and $1,000 annually in Large Family LifeSG Credits to families for each eligible third or subsequent Singapore Citizen child, in the years that the child turns 1 to 6).

Question 2: How do I register my child for the Large Families Scheme?

Answer: No registration is required. Once your child is enrolled into the Baby Bonus Scheme, MSF will assess his/her eligibility for the Large Families Scheme. Eligible recipients will be notified by MSF.
