What will be the Baby Bonus entitlement for my child who has just obtained Singapore Citizenship?

If either parent is a Singapore Citizen (SC) at the time of the child’s birth, the child will be eligible for full Baby Bonus Benefits. The child must obtain his or her Singapore citizenship and join the scheme before 12 years old. 
 
If both parents are not SCs at the time of the child’s birth, the child will be eligible for pro-rated Baby Bonus Benefits. The amount of pro-ration will depend on the date that the child becomes a SC. 
 
To check if your child is eligible for Baby Bonus and the level of benefits, you can use the "Check your child’s eligibility" on LifeSG.
