For the second child, this rate was 88,982 applications, which is 31%, and for the third child, it was 51,843 applications, which is 18%.

"PAYMENTS WILL BE IN ACCOUNTS ON MOTHER'S DAY"
Minister Göktaş, who stated that the payments will be in accounts on Mother's Day, continued: "Our family is our future, our shelter built shoulder to shoulder with love, compassion, and loyalty, our safest harbor. The protection and strengthening of the family is our constitutional responsibility. With this understanding, we updated and developed the amount of birth support announced by our President, who declared 2025 as the Family Year. In this context, as of January 1, 2025, a one-time support of 5,000 lira will be provided for the first child born, 1,500 lira monthly for the second child, and 5,000 lira monthly for the third and subsequent children. Payments will be made without interruption until the children reach the age of five, regardless of any criteria.
