Changes to the Single-Parent Family Allowance
May 28, 2025
The Cabinet approved changes to the calculation of the single-parent family allowance, removing the requirement for the cohabitant's income to be considered. This decision aims to address a previous regulation that was out of touch with modern social needs. The Deputy Minister of Social Welfare emphasized that the new regulation will simplify the process and support single-parent families. Additionally, other supportive initiatives are being explored.
