The Labor Insurance Bureau announced that starting from New Year’s Day 2026, the per-birth subsidy will be increased to NT$100,000. Applicants who meet and prepare the following five conditions can legally file for the benefit:

· Delivery During Period of Coverage: The mother must give birth or deliver prematurely while actively enrolled in the National Health Insurance (NHI). If delivery occurs within one year after disenrollment due to the same pregnancy, and no Labor Insurance or Farmers’ Insurance childbirth benefit was claimed during that period, retroactive application is permitted.

· Fetal Gestational Age and Weight Standards: According to a directive from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, a fetus is legally recognized as delivered or prematurely born if it has a gestational age exceeding 20 weeks or a birth weight over 500 grams.

· Application Limited to Female Insured Individuals: This benefit can only be claimed by the female insured individual herself. If only the spouse (husband) is enrolled in NHI while the wife is not insured, the husband cannot apply on her behalf.

· Subsidy Amount: NT$100,000 Per Child (Multiplies for Multiples): A direct payment of NT$100,000 per child. For families blessed with twins or more, the amount increases proportionally (NT$200,000 for twins, NT$300,000 for triplets).

· 5-Year Statute of Limitations: A strict 5-year deadline applies. Applications must be submitted within five years from the day after delivery or premature birth. Failure to apply within this period results in the subsidy being forfeited to the national treasury.

Labor Insurance Bureau Warning: Unclaimed Funds After 5 Years Will Be Fully Confiscated

New parents, while caring for their newborns, must not let their rights go unclaimed! The right to claim begins the day after delivery or premature birth and must be submitted to the Labor Insurance Bureau within five years. If an application is submitted after the five-year deadline due to busyness or oversight, it will be considered a waiver of rights. The claim will be legally denied, and no retroactive payment will be made. The full amount of up to NT$100,000 will be confiscated by the national treasury.
