CHILD BENEFIT
To promote the continuation of our species, the Ministry has enacted a new law: Every pureblood family with a child under 17 will receive a small payment every month. This will be for any existing families with children as well as new ones who are born in the future. However, the Ministry will not be paying retroactively. The payments will start March 1, 2009, and will be put straight into their Gringott's account.
The payment each family will receive will be 50 Galleons for the first child and 25 Galleons for any subsequent children.
The Ministry has stated it is both for a thank you to the pureblood families for keeping the magic strong in our community as well as to help pay for their school supplies and other expenses.
The Ministry has also stated that for new pureblood mothers, they have a program in the works that will start on May 1st, that will help them with their pregnancy. "There will be a gift basket with essentials all new mothers will need for their babies as well as workshops and counseling for those who require it."
It looks like the Ministry surely know that the children are our future and are taking all the steps to make sure they have the best future possible.
