How are the Large Family LifeSG Credits different from the Child LifeSG Credits announced at Budget 2025?

The Large Family LifeSG Credits (LFLC) aim to provide sustained support for married or ever-married parents (i.e. widowed or divorced) raising and caring for 3 or more children. This is in recognition of the fact that they face higher demands on their resources and finances, as costs stack up with every additional child. The Child LifeSG Credits (CLC) are a one-off measure under the Budget 2025, to provide broad-based support for all families with children aged 0-12 in 2025 to help them manage their child-raising costs. Eligible families with 3 or more children can receive both the LFLC and the CLC. Recipients will be notified by MSF once the credits have been disbursed into the Child Development Account trustee's LifeSG app digital wallet. Payment timelines: Child LifeSG Credits - July 2025 (for children born in 2013 to 2024) - April 2026 (for children born in 2025) Large Family LifeSG Credits - September 2025 (for children born in 2019 to 2024) - April 2026(1) (for respective birth cohorts aged 1 to 6 in 2026, including children born in 2025) (1) From 2026 onwards, LFLC will be disbursed in April of each year.
