Enhanced Baby Bonus and the effective date

[Linlaupeh]

Sollie; I always fire live Never like blank attachment because too much carbon I'll do her raw

[Osiris]

no matter what date, some people will not be happy.

If put 1 sep. those due this month will be unhappy.

even put today's date, those given birth yesterday also kpkb.

 

as a parent, of coz will sian 1/2 because missed out on another 4 weeks of leave.

but most importantly, baby come out alright, very happy liao.

to some 4 more weeks is good, to others, even with 3 months leave, they already back to work in 2 months.

1 more month take over a year. If can take in full is another question.

That's the reality on the ground.

hmmm.... how to backdate or pro-rate? sigh... these mothers-to-be... i feel for them but seriously, there is no 1 size fits all solution. When will the backdating stop? Bring forward to 1 Sept? Then those who gave birth on 31 Aug will KPKB and then write another lengthy letter... never ending one

[Altivo]

do regular pull thru and it will be fine!

[Silver_blade]

Agree. But I guess some were expecting that this new scheme will be backdated to 1st Aug like the gov did in 2004 and a bit disappointed...especially after months of hints that good thing will come for all the expectants and those planning to have babies.

Wa liao eee... my wife due dec 2008... miss by a bit.

But hor... no difference because it is 3rd child

There was a press release on the Enhanced Baby Bonus packages and its effective date of 1 Jan 2009 this afternoon.

 

Following which was an uproar by expecting Mums who are dued to deliver in this year who will be missing out on the new benefits.

 

What are your views?

I feel nothing wrong about the date. But the gov need to do more about managing expectations in the weeks or months before the announcement and not give 'false' hope to some.

[Hiphiphoray]

Aiyo...these parents also damn one-kind.

 

Then those born from Jan 2008 also can KPKB. Born same year mah!!!!!

 

Wah pianz.......never ending one.

[Linlaupeh]

I'm afraid as regards the length of my barrel you must wait for Linlauboo LeePee to confirm tmr She's serving reservist tmr to wash my gun barrel If she report for duty Maybe she's a keyboard heeloh and just type type only.

 

Then tmr I alone pcc at Kaki Bukit Carpark No chance to fire my 10 bombs mortar into her trench

[Linlaupeh]

Not if my bonk bonk is LeePee

Agree that there will never be a date that's going to please everyone. Personally, I think 2 'key' dates will have the least disagreement with the people.

 

1. Effective date = Announcement date. In this case, 17Aug for 2008. Why? Cos this new policy was announced on this day, so why cannot take immediate effect? Letting it take effect on any other date that is between this date and the expected date of delivery for an expecting mother just opens a can of worms of why-Expecting MotherA-gets-it-but-Expecting MotherB-doesn't.

 

2. Effective date >10 months from Announcement date. Why? Because those who are expecting already did not plan their having this child based on any assistance from the new policies. So to be fair to all, they all don't get it. And anyone who will benefit from the additional bonus are those who 'work hard' since the announcement.
