At a time when the cost of raising a child is rising day by day, the childcare subsidy policy introduced by the state is undoubtedly a "timely rain". Starting from January 1, 2025, families with infants and young children under the age of 3 who comply with laws and regulations will receive real benefits - each child can receive a childcare subsidy of 3,600 yuan per year until the child reaches 3 years old, with a cumulative maximum of 10,800 yuan.

According to the policy plan, families with infants and young children under the age of 3 born on January 1, 2025, regardless of whether they have a first, second or third child, can apply for childcare subsidies. It is worth mentioning that infants and young children born before January 1, 2025 and under the age of 3 can also enjoy this policy, and the subsidy will be calculated based on the number of months of subsidy.
According to the National Health Commission, various localities are working intensively to formulate specific implementation plans and actively prepare for relevant work.It is expected that application channels will be opened in various places in late August.
Childcare subsidies are exempt from personal income tax, and when identifying recipients of assistance such as subsistence allowances and extremely poor people, this subsidy is not included in family or personal income, which can truly reduce the burden on families with children.
