This content applies specifically to South Korea.

Do not read “year-round” as permission to apply next year. If you are a construction worker in South Korea with a child born in 2026, the New Family Childbirth Congratulatory Grant provides 300,000 won subject to contribution, registration and other conditions. The listed application period is October 1 to December 31, 2026.

Separate the cash from the supplies

Count on the stated form of support when planning baby expenses: the cash grant is 300,000 won regardless of birth order. A second child also qualifies for products worth 100,000 won; a third or subsequent child for products worth 200,000 won. Those supplies can cover part of everyday childcare needs, but their value is not extra cash.

Prepare the certificate around the application date

Match the Certificate of Family Relations to the applicant, who is the covered worker. Check that it was issued within 3 months of the application date and that the final digits of resident registration numbers are hidden. Leave time for online information entry and consent: having the certificate does not complete the application.

Check contribution records and exclusions

You need at least 252 total retirement mutual aid contribution days and at least 100 days in the past 12 months or the preceding calendar year, assessed on the application date. For a 2026 application, that preceding year is 2025. Women may also use at least 100 days in the past 24 months; the total requirement still applies.

Registration under the retirement mutual aid scheme at birth is checked separately, including a work record before the birth month. Received or pending retirement mutual aid benefits bar applications, as does a previous association childbirth grant for the same child. Only one parent may claim for that child.

What still needs checking?

Does a birth before October 2026 qualify?

Yes, the birth condition includes all of 2026. The parent must still meet the other requirements.

Will the package arrive with the cash?

Same-day payment and delivery are not confirmed. Eligible package recipients are expected to hear from a contractor after November 2026.

When is payment, and when must mailed forms arrive?

Individual payment dates and whether mailing deadlines use arrival or sending dates are unspecified. Confirm with the accepting branch or center, or the association’s welfare programs department.

Before applying, consider rechecking the program dates in the official application guide. (verified value 2026 applications: October 1–December 31, 2026; qualifying births: during 2026. · source eum.cw.or.kr · checked 2026-10-19)
