michaela1 (1027.7 days ago) In the uk we get child benefit of £20 /week for the first child until they leave education, also get a child tax credit for working (base on earnings) to help with childcare costs and we get a cheque for £250 when the child is born to start a trust fund, we then get another cheque for £250 when she is 7 and 13 years old to go in trust fund, this money cannot be touched until she is 18 or terminally ill! We also don`t pay for our health care.

bluejeans (1028.3 days ago) In Australia when your baby is born you receive a $5000 and I was curious if the same happened everywhere
ibaheir2dathrone (1028.3 days ago) Hi Robin, some places get a sum of money when the baby is born. I remember seeing a poll on that a while ago. It`s a one time thing, not like our tax deduction yearly. :O)
