Child benefit allowance

Family allowance programs are common in OECD European countries. Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. Benefits are often small—a few US. dollars a month, representing a fraction of the cost of the food basket—although in some middle-income transition states, including the Czech Republic and Hungary, they provide a more substantial contribution to the cost of raising a child. Family allowances can take various forms, such as means-tested child benefits similar to needs-based transfers as used in the Czech Republic, Poland, and South Africa (box 7.2) birth grants or universal transfers for all... [Pg.257]

Family allowance. Cash transfer for families with children. Family allowances can take various forms, such as means-tested child benefits, birth grants, or universal transfers for all children under a fixed age. [Pg.509]

Clinicians should be aware that many of their patients may be taking alternative treatments either via self-care or prescribed by CAM practitioners. Inquiring about this should be routine because of potential side effects and drug interactions. A working knowledge of CAM treatments will allow child psychiatrists to give parents and patients advice about safety and effectiveness. Use of St. John s wort in children with unipolar depression may at times be appropriate, particularly in cases where more standard treatments are contraindicated or have failed. However, it should be used cautiously and with an appropriate explanation of its risks and benefits, as a competent clinician would do for any treatment. Use of St. John s wort for other conditions is not currently recommended given the lack of evidence for efficacy. Kava extracts may be used for anxiety, with similar provisos. There are much fewer data about the efficacy and safety of other dietary supplements and their use cannot be supported at this point. [Pg.374]

To illustrate the large volume of the federal provisions, we shall list some prohibitions and requirements for state TANF programmes. For example, states are not allowed to use their SFAG for benefit payments to individuals who have already received federally funded social welfare benefits for 60 months in their lifetime (TANF time limit) 70 no state shall make any payment from its SFAG to teen parents who do not live in an adult-supervised living environment (42 USC 608 (a)(5)) no state is allowed to pay TANF benefits to individuals without a dependent child (42 USC 608 (a)(1)) no state shall pay TANF benefits to individuals not participating in work activities although they are job-ready, nor shall it pay benefits for more than consecutive 24 months (42 USC 602 (a)(l)(A)(ii)). [Pg.362]

Some surveys may deliberately omit to collect benefit information if the benefit formula is simple and there are no payment arrears. For example, if a child allowance program offers a flat benefit to all children aged newborn to 16 years old, collecting information on program participation is enough. The analyst can impute the amount to each household with children of eligible e. [Pg.223]

In conditional cash transfer programs, if education is not inclusive, children with disabilities may in practice be excluded by the requirement to enroll in and attend school. While inclusive education is the right long-run answer to this problem, in the interim, the conditions can be waived for such children. In Jamaica, for example, the PATH conditional cast transfer initiative waives the school attendance requirement if the child has a disability certificate and the program officer judges that the school is not sufficiently inclusive to allow the child to benefit from attending it. [Pg.370]

How does the program s level of generosity affect conclusions about the share of administrative costs In 2000—7, Russia s child allowance program had administrative costs of about 10 percent of the total, which sounds fine, but the program s benefits were low, equivalent to only 25 percent of median family allowance benefits in 22 European and Central Asian countries. Compared with... [Pg.391]

Description The state child allowances are a universal benefit granted monthly for all children under the age of 16 (18 if with disabilities or in secondary education), provided that they attend school regularly. The supplementary child allowance was introduced in 1997 for Emilies with two or more children. Starting in January 2004, the government decided to stop this type of allowance and to introduce a means-tested one, the complementary femily allowance. [Pg.472]
