Government Releases 2027 First-Born Child Subsidy Calendar
The Ministry of Social Development and Human Security has published the monthly payment schedule for the first-born child support subsidy for fiscal year 2027, running from October 2026 through September 2027. Parents can check exact payment dates via the department's website, the "Money for Children" app, or the "Thang Rat" app. Unregistered families with Thai children can still apply at local administrative offices or through the mobile app to receive benefits starting from their registration month.
On November 5, 2026, Deputy Government Spokesperson Karom Polpornklang disclosed that the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS) has published the payment calendar for the first-born child support subsidy for fiscal year 2027. This enables parents and guardians to check the payment schedule and plan household finances in advance. Guardians can access subsidy payment information through three channels: the Department of Children and Youth website at https://csgcheck.dcy.go.th, the "Money for Children" application, and the "Thang Rat" application. The monthly payment dates are as follows: October 2026 paid on October 9, 2026; November 2026 paid on November 10, 2026; December 2026 paid on December 9, 2026; January 2027 paid on January 8, 2027; February 2027 paid on February 10, 2027; March 2027 paid on March 10, 2027; April 2027 paid on April 9, 2027; May 2027 paid on May 10, 2027; June 2027 paid on June 10, 2027; July 2027 paid on July 9, 2027; August 2027 paid on August 10, 2027; September 2027 paid on September 10, 2027. For families not yet registered, applications can be submitted if the child holds Thai nationality. Applications can be filed at the district office where the child and guardian actually reside, not necessarily the registered address. In Bangkok, contact the district office; in Pattaya City, contact Pattaya City Hall; in other areas, contact the local Subdistrict Administrative Organization or Municipality. Registration is also possible via the "Money for Children" app after identity verification through the ThaiD app. Once eligibility is verified and approved, the subsidy takes effect from the month of registration.
