SINGAPORE – Families with Singaporean children aged 12 years old and below will receive $500 for each child in Child LifeSG credits from July 14.<\/p>\n
The credits can be used to defray household expenses such as groceries, utilities and pharmacy items, said the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) in a statement on July 13.<\/p>\n
Families with children born between 2014 and 2025 will get the credits from July 14, while the credits for children born in 2026 will be disbursed in April 2027.<\/p>\n
The $500 credits had been announced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong at Budget 2026 in February, as part of measures to help families with the cost of raising children.<\/p>\n
This comes on top of the $500 Child LifeSG credits top-up that was disbursed to more than 450,000 children in 2025.<\/p>\n
The latest credits can be used at physical and online merchants that accept payments via PayNow UEN QR and NETS QR.<\/p>\n
They will be automatically credited to the eligible child\u2019s Child Development Account (CDA) trustee based on MSF\u2019s records as at the eligibility assessment date of June 1.<\/p>\n No application is required. Trustees can access the credits through their LifeSG application.<\/p>\n Recipients will be notified via SMS after the credits have been added to their digital wallet in the LifeSG application.<\/p>\n As a precaution against scams, SMS notifications sent to parents will only be from \u201cgov.sg\u201d, and will contain only information on the disbursement status and related terms and conditions, said MSF.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Trustees will not be asked to reply to the SMS or provide personal information.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n CDA trustees should ensure that the mobile number in their Singpass profile is up to date to receive these notifications, said MSF.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n More information is available at <\/i><\/b>https:\/\/go.gov.sg\/clc2026<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a> SINGAPORE – Families with Singaporean children aged 12 years old and below will receive $500 for each child in Child LifeSG credits from July 14….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=68308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68308\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=68308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=68308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=68308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
