Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Erwin T. Tulfo announced the creation of a technical working group (TWG) to draft the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) to operationalize Republic Act (RA) No. 11861 or the Expanded Solo Parents’ Welfare Act.
RA No. 11861 amended Republic Act No. 8972 or the Solo Parents’ Welfare Act of 2000 to ensure that solo parents can reap more exclusive benefits provided by the government.
Under the expanded law, a solo parent earning minimum wage or below is entitled to a monthly cash subsidy of P1,000 from the local government unit, provided that the solo parent is not a beneficiary of any other cash assistance program; and 10% discount and exemption from the value-added tax on baby’s milk, food, micronutrient supplements, sanitary diapers, duly prescribed medicines, vaccines, and other medical supplements from the birth of the child until six years of age.
The solo parent will also be prioritized in low-cost housing projects through the National Housing Authority, with liberal terms of payment; and will be provided with automatic coverage by Philhealth.
