In plain words

If your child was born on or after January 1, 2025 and is not yet 3, you can claim this money. One of the parents applies where the child's hukou is registered. It is 3600 yuan per child per year, paid until the child turns 3. The money is not subject to personal income tax. When you apply for assistance such as the minimum living allowance (低保), it is also not counted as your household's income.
