Baby Support Grant (BSG)
What is the Baby Support Grant (BGS)?
The Baby Support Grant (BSG) was introduced to support Singaporeans with their plans on starting their family during the COVID-19 pandemic. Expecting parents can receive a one-time Baby Support Grant of S$3,000 if their child’s due date or estimated delivery date falls between 1 October 2022 and 13 February 2023 (extended from the previous delivery date of 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2022).
Am I Eligible for the Baby Support Grant?
Children who are already receiving the Baby Bonus Cash Gift are eligible for the Baby Support Grant. It will be deposited into the same bank account used to receive the Baby Bonus Cash Gift within one month of registration of Baby Bonus Scheme.
Babies born before 1 October 2020 with an estimated delivery date on or after 1 October 2020 can also receive the BSG if they are qualified for the Baby Bonus Cash Gift.
Parents will now receive up to S$27,000 in cash and cash-like benefits for the birth of the first child aside from parental leave, subsidised education and healthcare benefits with the new Baby Support Grant.
If you need further assistance, please call the Baby Bonus hotline at 1800 111 2222.
