Extending the age of nursery allowance and seamlessly connecting with the school demand

        In order to create a friendly environment for childcare, provide affordable and diversified childcare services for parents, and reduce the economic burden of parents' childcare, the Ministry of health and welcare promotes childcare subsidies, so that parents can work safely and get enough energy for care. Since 2020, the age limit of child care allowance has been extended from 0 to less than 2 years old to 0 to less than 3 years old. How can we meet the requirements of applying for child care subsidy? This issue of "legal column" collects relevant information, and working parents take notes quickly!

In order to seamlessly link up the school needs of children over 2 years old, from 2020, children under 2 to 3 years old will continue to stay in public care institutions. The money will be paid by the original Ministry of health and welfare, and transferred to designated accounts by the Ministry of health and welfare and Ministry of education. It is estimated that 16000 children will benefit.

        In addition, many parents have questions about whether it is necessary to apply for the extension of child care allowance for children aged 2-3 years? The following reorganize different situations for reference.

* no reapplication required

Those who continue to be sent to the original public or quasi public care center and are receiving the child care subsidy or 2-4-year-old child care allowance.

* application required

1. The child care center has been sent to the public nursing center or quasi public nursing center, but the child care subsidy has not been applied for

2. Change the object of delivery, such as transfer of baby care center to nursing mother, transfer of kindergarten to nursing mother

3. Currently receiving the child care allowance and starting to deliver the child after January 1, 2020

In the face of the tide of the society with fewer children and the equal rights of men and women in the workplace, the government has invested a lot of efforts in the friendly family policy in recent years, but also provided multiple channels of subsidies, hoping to help parents balance work and family life, and create a more suitable Society for children.
