Outgoing Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys emphasized, "As a mother, I do not want to see any woman or baby miss out... my message to those families is - don't worry, the Christmas babies will be looked after." This reflects the government's commitment to ensure families don't face financial uncertainty during festive times.
A department spokesperson clarified that there is no need to apply separately for the newborn baby grant, as the payment will be made automatically if a parent is eligible for child benefit.
