Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The Cabinet decided to grant Child Allowance benefit to 80 percent of children aged 0-18, registered in the household database.

During its regular meeting on April 4, the Cabinet framed a draft resolution on its decision, which will be submitted to the Parliament in the near future.

According to the resolution, the fund required for distribution of the benefit starting from April 1 will be included in the 2018 Budget of the General Budget Administrator and will be allocated in the annual Budget starting from 2019.

The 80 percent coverage of the Child Allowance benefit will add 228 thousand children to the current list of benefit recipients, making the total number 860 thousand.

It has been estimated that MNT 41 billion will be needed to cover 80 percent of the registered children. The Cabinet sees that it is possible to distribute the benefit without making amend to the 2018 State Budget.
