Bill overview
The Baby Bonus Act establishes a new federal program to provide financial assistance to parents of newborns. It creates an Office of Baby Assistance within the Social Security Administration responsible for administering the program, including processing applications, making payments, and tracking program effectiveness. Beginning in 2026, eligible parents can receive a baby bonus payment, calculated based on a cost-of-living adjustment, for each qualifying child. The Act also outlines procedures for determining eligible parents, handling death or loss of a child, and ensuring the program’s transparency and accountability.
