How can I verify the identity of the Child CDA member and/or the siblings?
Baby Bonus Approved Institutions (AI) can identify the Child Development Account (CDA) member through the child’s name embossed on the CDA NETS card. If details on the NETS card are insufficient for verification, AI can further verify by asking the parent to declare in writing the relationship between the member and the member’s sibling, or asking parent to log in to “Family View services” on Parent Portal Services (click “View Statement” > “CDA Details”) for their child's CDA details.
Alternatively, AI may request for the children’s birth certificates for verification.
Please note that an AI (excluding pharmacies) must verify and record the sibling relationship for CDA NETS transactions above $500 or recurring CDA GIRO transactions, which are incurred for the CDA member’s sibling.
