What are the Child LifeSG Credits?
The Child LifeSG Credits of $500 are a one-off support measure for all families with Singapore citizen children aged 0-12 in 2025 to help defray household expenses.
The credits are given to the eligible child’s CDA trustee in MSF’s records as of the eligibility assessment date. To check CDA trustee information, use the “Family View service” on Parent Portal Services.
How to apply for the Child LifeSG Credits?
No application is required. MSF will automatically assess your child’s eligibility after your child is enrolled in the Baby Bonus Scheme. If your child is eligible, the credits will be disbursed to the CDA trustee’s LifeSG app digital wallet.
When will the Child LifeSG Credits be disbursed?
Disbursements will be made progressively in the week of 7 July for children born between 2013 and 2024. For children born in 2025, disbursements will be made in April 2026.
Eligibility will be assessed as of 1 June in 2025 for the CLC payment in July 2025 and 1 March 2026 for the CLC payment in April 2026.
The disbursement timeline for Child LifeSG Credits

| Between 2013 and 2024 | 1 June 2025 | Week of 7 July 2025 |

How will I receive the Child LifeSG Credits?
The CLC will be paid to the CDA trustee in MSF’s records at the eligibility assessment date. If there is no CDA trustee, it will be paid to the child’s mother or father, depending on their living status and which parent has care and control over the child.
MSF will notify recipients via SMS once they receive the credits in their LifeSG app digital wallet.
