Rule of HDF for children altered

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ At its meeting on Saturday, the cabinet amended the rule of granting money to children from the Human Development Fund (HDF). The previous year, 960 thousand and 287 children received monthly allowance given from the HDF after the Ministry of Population Development and Social Welfare has paid big attention to this matter, but 2,100 infants who were born in December of 2013 were left no cash although their application materials went to the related welfare section. The Ministry explained that those children born in December of 2013 cannot have the cash allowance due to taking some time for transferring their materials and information to the social welfare organization as well as the money to the state fund and commercial banks. In accordance with the altered rule, the applicants will receive the money from the next year’s budget despite a completion of transmitting of the money.
