Parents can claim a larger child-support subsidy from the Social Security Office (SSO) under the new guideline approved by the Cabinet on Monday.

 

The increased subsidy, up from Bt400 to Bt600 per child per month, will take effect retroactively from January 1 this year.

 

“The number of children covered for each family will also rise from two to three per family,” Government Spokesman Lt-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd said on Monday.

 

The SSO has provided child-support subsidies for children up to six years old to parents who are social-security-fund members. 

 

Sansern said the government believed the increased payments would help shore up the birth rate in Thailand.

Yeah, an extra 200 baht a month should do it.

How large does the child need to be?

Is there a sliding scale and is the subsidy payable by weight or height?

Those who need that level of assistance, should not be encouraged to have another child.

Anyone know what "Social Security Fund members" means ?

How many imaginary knifes will be in your back when you tell the kids it will take more than 33 months to buy them the desired smart phone?

Its paid by (mostly) poeple who work (but you can still pay if unemployed) ...the employer is supposed to pay matching amount as well....its a
"social security" payment/tax to help pay for sick pay,maternity pay,old age pensioners who get about 500 baht per month things line that.
