Large Family LifeSG Credits: given annually to married or ever-married parents, including widowed or divorced parents, in large families. Each third and subsequent Singapore citizen child will be eligible for it from the year that the child turns 1 to the year that the child turns 6.

Child LifeSG Credits: a support measure implemented as part of Budget 2025 and Budget 2026, given to all families with at least 1 child aged 0 to 12 in 2025 and 2026 respectively. This is regardless of the number of children in the family.
