The Social and Family Affairs Administration of the Ministry of Health will also offer temporary child care subsidies if a single parent is unable to care for an infant or a disabled kid under the age of 18 because they are attending school during the school year. Depending on the announcement of Ministry of Labor for the payment of the hourly basic salary, the maximum amount of each child's hourly subsidy varies. For each child, the maximum monthly subsidy is 48 hours. Service members who offer temporary and short-term care services may apply for subsidies based on supporting documentation if the hours of temporary child care are fewer than 48 hours.
