Childbirth (with no additional benefits)
"A Childbirth and Childcare Lump-Sum Grant" is paid when an insured person gives birth. "A Dependents' Childbirth and Childcare Lump-Sum Grant" is paid when a dependent family member gives birth. Don't forget to add the newborn as a dependent in these cases.
