Why are single parents not eligible for the enhanced Baby Bonus scheme?
Baby Bonus Scheme is part of the Government’s Marriage and Parenthood (M&P) package to support parenthood in the context of a marriage. For a child to qualify for the enhanced Baby Bonus Cash Gift, his/her parents must be lawfully married. Nonetheless, children of unwed parents can receive the enhanced Child Development Account (CDA) benefits.
Parents of all Singaporean children, including single parents, are eligible for paid childcare and extended childcare leave, unpaid infant care leave, Medisave grant for newborns, enhanced subsidies for centre-based infant and childcare, and foreign domestic worker concessionary levy.
