The Baby Bonus is paid at the same rate to all families considered eligible. The proposed replacement payment will be come in the form of an additional loading on an eligible families' FTB-A payment with an additional $2,000 for a firstborn child (and all multiple births) and $1,000 for any subsequent children.

Families are Eligible for Remaining Child Tax Credit Payments in 2022. If families get a letter from the IRS saying how much they received from the advance CTC, they should keep the letter because it will have important information for filing their 2022 return.
The Child Tax Credit was significantly expanded in 2021 by the American Rescue Plan so families could receive up to $3,600 per child under 6 and $3,000 for those ages 6 to 17. But the changes were made for just one year, and will be reduced back to $2,000 per child in 2023.
There are currently no more monthly payments of the CTC during 2022, and those who file will receive the remaining amount in one payment.
Enhanced child tax credit
The credit was increased to $3,000 from $2,000 with a $600 bonus for kids under the age of 6 for the 2021 tax year.
Often referred to as stimulus payments, this credit can also help eligible people whose EIP3 was less than the full amount, including those who welcomed a child in 2021. The maximum credit is $1,400 for each qualifying adult, plus $1,400 for each eligible child or adult dependent.
Some benefits are income-based, such as Universal Credit and Working/Child Tax Credit, and take into account your household income. If you qualify for income-based benefits you can also qualify for other benefits such as the Sure Start Maternity Grant, Healthy Start vouchers or help with housing and council tax costs.
