      Having a child is LIFE-LONG.
      Why are the benefits one-off ?
      \"U Singaporeans always complain.
      No give - complain;
      give - also complain not enuf!
      wait I bring in more FWs, then u know. :x \"

      Actually, I think dis is likely to happen after GE
      ie more inflow of FWs.
      d current tighter control is temporary.

        I need some help here on the extra contribution into the CDAs from the govt.


        My DD#1 does not have the CDA as she was born in 2007, before they implemented the new budget for all child has CDA. Now they are giving the $400 to CDA.

        I can just go down to the bank and open the CDA?

          according to the official website, they'll post us a letter in june2011 if u qualify for the CDA acct.

          u need that letter before u go to the bank to open the CDA acct.

            Opening CDA acct just to receive $400 is just too troublesome. Reason being I have all the giro linked to my #2 CDA as my #1 didn’t have one as he was born in 2005. Unless by opening the acct, the $1 to $1 top up applies? Otherwise, I hope can bank both $400 into #2 CDA. With just $400 in a CDA, I can’t link to any payment & most GPs don’t accept CDA. What other one off payment can I use it for?

                  Received baby bonus notice for 2007-born child but not 2005-born child. As the budget annoucement stated $400 per child 6 & below, wondering if anyone open CDA account just to receive this ang pao? Wonder if they can make it less adminstrative instead of asking us to open CDA account for next 6 mths...
