Do parents who have multiple births (e.g. twins, triplets) receive additional Government-Paid Maternity Benefit (GPMB), Government-Paid Paternity Benefit (GPPB), Shared Parental Leave Benefit (SPB), or Government-Paid Adoption Benefit (GPAB) proportionate to the number of children born, or do they receive the same benefit amounts as parents with single births?

Question

Accepted Answer

All government-paid parental benefits (GPMB, GPPB, SPB, and GPAB) are granted per delivery and not based on the number of children born or adopted. Parents with multiple births receive the same benefit amounts as parents with single births or single adoptions.
