Those who meet the retirement mutual aid requirements and other conditions receive 300,000 won. A childbirth gift package is added for a second or subsequent child. 건설e음 lists December 31, 2026, as the application deadline.\n\nThe amounts and requirements are based on the October 1, 2026, press release and the 2026 program information on 건설e음.\n\n## Eligibility and Accrued Days for the Childbirth Congratulatory Grant\n\nConstruction workers who had a child in 2026 must meet all the requirements below. Accrued days are assessed as of the application date. Registration as a covered worker on the date of birth is checked separately.\n\n| Item to check | 2026 program requirement |\n| --- | --- |\n| Child’s birth | Child born in 2026 |\n| Total accrued days | At least 252 days of retirement mutual aid contributions as of the application date |\n| Recent accrued days | At least 100 days in the past 12 months or the preceding calendar year, as of the application date |\n| Female construction workers | At least 100 accrued days in the past 24 months is also accepted |\n| Registration at the time of birth | Meets the covered-worker registration requirement as of the date of birth |\n\nThe rule for women is a special provision on the accrual period that takes pregnancy into account. It does not waive the total accrued-days requirement. For a 2026 application, the preceding calendar year means 2025.\n\nA covered worker is a worker registered under the retirement mutual aid scheme. 건설e음 adds this explanation to the date-of-birth requirement:\n\n\u003e If there is a work record from before the month of birth\n\nThe source is the New Family Childbirth Congratulatory Grant entry in 건설e음’s [“Welfare Service Application Guide”](https://eum.cw.or.kr/web/wel/WEBWEL010M00). A work record that first appeared in the month of birth should not, by itself, be treated as meeting the requirement.\n\n## Grant and Package by Birth Order\n\nThe cash grant for the 2026 program is the same regardless of birth order. A package of childbirth and childcare products is added for a second or subsequent child. The cash grant must be distinguished from the value of the products to understand what is provided.\n\n| Birth order | Congratulatory grant | Additional package | Combined value of cash and products |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| First child | 300,000 won | None | 300,000 won |\n| Second child | 300,000 won | Worth 100,000 won | Worth 400,000 won |\n| Third child or later | 300,000 won | Worth 200,000 won | Worth 500,000 won |\n\nFor a second child, products worth 100,000 won are added to the 300,000 won grant. The combined value is therefore 400,000 won. Interpreting this as a 400,000 won cash payment would misrepresent the form of support.\n\nThe press release describes expanded support for families with multiple children and relaxed eligibility criteria in 2026. However, it does not give specific figures for the previous criteria. The exact changes need to be checked against separate program information.\n\n## Application Restrictions by Circumstance\n\nSeparate restrictions may apply even if the accrued-days requirements are met. In particular, a pending claim for retirement mutual aid benefits must be distinguished from benefits already received. Whether both spouses qualify and whether claims are made for the same child are separate matters.\n\n| Circumstance | Stated rule |\n| --- | --- |\n| Retirement mutual aid benefits have already been received | Cannot apply |\n| A claim for retirement mutual aid benefits is pending | Cannot apply |\n| A childbirth grant from the mutual aid association has been received for the same child | Cannot apply |\n| Both spouses qualify | Only one may claim |\n\nThe mutual aid association’s restriction on support for the same child should not be extended to every childbirth support program. Whether support from another organization can be received as well depends on that program’s rules. The information checked does not guarantee that other grants can be received alongside this one.\n\n## Documents Required by Application Method\n\n건설e음 lists different required documents depending on how the application is submitted. Online applications can be submitted through the website or mobile app. Separate document lists are provided for in-person applications and applications by registered mail or fax.\n\n| Application method | Documents listed on 건설e음 |\n| --- | --- |\n| Website or mobile app | Certificate of Family Relations |\n| Visit to a branch or center | Application form, Certificate of Family Relations, child’s personal information consent form |\n| Registered mail or fax | Application form, Certificate of Family Relations, copy of ID, child’s personal information consent form |\n\n### Requirements for the Certificate of Family Relations\n\nThe Certificate of Family Relations must be issued **for the applicant**. There are also requirements for its issue date and how resident registration numbers appear. 건설e음 specifies the following:\n\n- Person named on the certificate: the applicant, who is the covered worker\n- Issue date: within 3 months of the application date\n- Resident registration numbers: final digits hidden\n\nThe absence of an application form from the online list concerns separately submitted documents. It does not mean that preparing a Certificate of Family Relations automatically completes the application. The information entry and consent steps on the application screen must be checked separately.\n\n## Application Period and Differences Between Official Notices\n\n건설e음 lists **December 31** as the 2026 application deadline. The wording of the press release alone should not be taken to mean that applications will continue into the following year. Check the application period for this program on 건설e음 again before applying. (Confirmed 2026 application period: October 1 to December 31, 2026 · Source: eum.cw.or.kr · Checked 2026-10-18)\n\n| Official document | Wording on the application period | Point to check when interpreting it |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Ministry of Employment and Labor press release dated October 1, 2026 | Available at any time from October 1 onward, year-round | Cannot be taken as a guarantee that applications will be accepted the following year |\n| 건설e음 Welfare Service Application Guide | October 1 to December 31, 2026 | Specifies the start and end dates of the 2026 program |\n\nThe two documents also do not list exactly the same application channels. The [Ministry of Employment and Labor press release announcing the program](https://www.moel.go.kr/news/enews/report/enewsView.do?news_seq=20031) mentions applications by email. The 건설e음 document table lists registered mail and fax. Check with the mutual aid association whether email applications are accepted and which address to use.\n\n## Items to Recheck if the Application Date Changes\n\nRequirements assessed as of the application date must be distinguished from those assessed at the time of birth. Delaying an application can change the period counted for recent accrued days. Registration status at the time of birth remains a separate requirement.\n\n| Item | What to check if the application date changes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Total accrued days | Accrual record as of the application date |\n| Recent accrued days | Qualifying period based on the new application date |\n| Certificate of Family Relations | Whether it was issued within 3 months of the application date |\n| Registration at the time of birth | Whether there is a work record from before the month of birth |\n\nThis interpretation applies the different reference dates together. Accruing enough days after the birth does not resolve every requirement. If it is unclear whether work records have been reflected or what the registration status was, check with the mutual aid association.\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n### Are children born in 2026 before the program started eligible?\n\nThe birth requirement is that the child was born in 2026. October 1 is the date applications opened. These dates should not be confused in a way that excludes children born before October 1.\n\n### Are only the past 12 months of records considered for female construction workers?\n\nWomen may also qualify under the rule requiring accrued days in the past 24 months. This special provision takes pregnancy into account. The total accrued-days requirement and registration requirement at the time of birth must be met separately.\n\n### Will I receive 500,000 won in cash for a third child?\n\nThe congratulatory grant is 300,000 won for a third or subsequent child. What is added is childbirth and childcare products worth 200,000 won. The stated combined value of 500,000 won includes the value of those products.\n\n### Will I receive the package on the same day as the grant?\n\n건설e음 says that eligible package recipients are expected to be contacted after November 2026. The contact will come from a contractor. This information does not establish that the cash payment and delivery will occur on the same day.\n\n### Where can I check the exact payment date and the deadline rule for mailed applications?\n\nThe program information checked does not give individual payment dates. It also does not specify whether the mailing deadline is based on the date of arrival or the date sent. Check these points with the branch or center accepting applications, or with the mutual aid association’s welfare programs department.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe New Family Childbirth Congratulatory Grant is for construction workers who had a child in 2026.

The parent must also meet the requirements for credited contribution days and registration at the time of birth, among others."},{"question":"Is it enough to meet only the total retirement mutual aid contribution days requirement?","answer":"You must meet the recent credited contribution days requirement as well as the total requirement. Whether you were registered as a covered worker at the time of birth and whether any application restrictions apply are assessed separately."},{"question":"What special provision applies to female construction workers?","answer":"To account for pregnancy, at least 100 credited contribution days in the past 24 months is also accepted. This does not waive the total credited contribution days requirement."},{"question":"How much is the support payment for a second or third child?","answer":"The cash payment is 300,000 won for each. A childbirth gift package worth 100,000 won is also provided for a second child, and one worth 200,000 won for a third or subsequent child."},{"question":"Can I apply if I have claimed my retirement mutual aid payment but have not received it yet?","answer":"A pending claim for a retirement mutual aid payment is also subject to the application restriction. The restriction still applies even if the payment has not yet been deposited."},{"question":"If both spouses qualify, can each receive a payment?","answer":"Only one spouse may claim for the same child.

It must have been issued within three months of the application date. Submit it with the last digits of the resident registration number hidden."},{"question":"Does the notice that applications can be submitted year-round mean applications will also be accepted the following year?","answer":"Not necessarily.

Check the application period on that page again before applying."},{"question":"Can I also receive childbirth support payments from other organizations?","answer":"The mutual aid association's restriction on duplicate payments for the same child concerns previous receipt of its childbirth support payment.
