Family and Social Services Minister Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş announced that July maternity benefit payments will be deposited into beneficiaries' accounts today. In her written statement, Minister Göktaş emphasized their continued efforts to strengthen healthy, informed families through sustainable support mechanisms that encourage family formation.

Göktaş, reminding that the birth allowance amount has been updated within the scope of the "2025 Family Year" declared with the approval of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, stated that in this scope, a one-time support of 5,000 lira will be given to the first child born as of January 1, 2025, 1,500 lira monthly for the second child, and 5,000 lira monthly for children three and subsequent ones.

Göktaş emphasized that maternity benefits are one of the important supports provided to citizens during the Year of the Family, saying, "As of today, we are depositing the July maternity benefits payments into mothers' accounts. Thus, we have paid approximately 2.6 billion lira to the accounts of 299,421 mothers who have benefited from maternity benefits to date. I hope these payments will be beneficial to all our families."

Göktaş stated that applications for the birth allowance, which will continue to be paid without interruption until children turn 5, regardless of any criteria, are accepted through e-Government and the "My First Teacher, My Family" mobile application. He noted that families whose applications are approved can access information about the payment of their birth allowance through the same application.
