The newly-formed Mongolian government is working to fulfill the ruling Mongolian People’s Party (MPP) election promises of distributing cash to children and to provide a monthly benefit payment to mothers, as well as paying the one-off bonus to civil servants.

Under the programme, the government will provide a monthly benefit payment of MNT 50,000 to mothers who are at home caring for children under the age of three. However, Mongolian mothers living abroad are not eligible to receive payment: they must apply in person to the social welfare bodies of the country in which they are living.

Fortunately, the Mongolian ex-pat mothers can receive a monthly bonus of MNT 20,000 for their children and a onetime payment of MNT 2,000,000 if they have twins.
