Parents will receive a $10,000 CDA FSG for each third or subsequent SC child born on or after 18 Feb 2025. This is double the $5,000 CDA FSG given for the first and second child. CDA funds can be used for approved child-raising expenses, including preschool fees and healthcare costs incurred by your child or his/her siblings, among other eligible expenses.

The grant will be deposited into the eligible child’s CDA, around two weeks after the CDA is opened.

The LFMG is in addition to the Medisave Grant for Newborns provided to all SC children at birth.

The LFMG will be deposited into the mother’s MediSave account, around two weeks after your child’s successful enrolment into the Baby Bonus Scheme.

Large Family LifeSG Credits (LFLC)

Parents will receive $1,000 in LFLC annually for each third or subsequent SC child, in the years that your child turns one to six.

The LFLC will be disbursed to your child's CDA trustee via the digital wallet in the LifeSG app. The credits will be valid for 12 months and recipients will be notified by the Ministry of Social and Family Development once the credits have been disbursed into the recipients’ LifeSG app digital wallet. 

The LFLC can be used via the LifeSG app at merchants accepting PayNow UEN QR and/or NETS QR, to defray a range of household expenses. 

Married or ever-married parents raising and caring for three or more children will receive the LFLC of $1,000 annually for each third or subsequent SC child aged one to six years old. To qualify:

Eligibility is assessed annually, and the family must meet the eligibility criteria by the assessment cut-off date of 1 Mar to receive LFLC the same year. 

Any changes in families’ eligibility that occur after this assessment date will only be taken into account for the following year’s LFLC disbursement. 

To encourage whole-of-society support for large families, the Government is partnering with corporates to offer exclusive benefits for large families.
