Childbirth Allowance
|
|
A mother who gives birth to three or more children in one birth is also entitled to a childbirth allowance, provided that 30 days after the birth at least three of the infants have survived.
The mother is entitled to a childbirth allowance if she is entitled to a birth grant. If the mother did not survive, her spouse or the guardian of the children is entitled to the childbirth allowance.
The childbirth allowance is paid (in addition to the birth grant) from the first day of the month after the birth to the end of 20 months from that date.
For the first month after the month of the birth, the allowance is paid according to the number of surviving children 30 days after the birth. For each one of the 19 months thereafter, the allowance is paid according to the number of children who survive on the first of that month.
Payment of childbirth allowance
The childbirth allowance is paid automatically; there is no need to submit a claim. The payment is transferred to the bank account in which the child allowance is paid, at the end of 30 days from the day of birth. If it is a first birth, the new mother should give the hospital the information on the bank in which she wishes to receive her maternity grant and childbirth allowance.

The mother must provide information in the claim form for the children who survive 30 days from the date of the birth and the details of her bank account (name and address of the bank and the account number). The allowance is paid into the bank account. |
