A health worker visits your home after childbirth. You can apply from 40 days before the due date until 60 days after birth.
Deadline
For premature babies or those with congenital conditions, the window is 30 days from the newborn's hospital discharge.
📌 Key points
If both spouses are foreign nationals, eligibility requires F-2, F-5, or F-6 status. The support type and your share of the cost depend on income — 150% of median income or less is the government support standard, and above that you may still use it in some areas by paying a larger share.
📍 Where to go
Your local public health center
❗ What happens if you don't
Once the window closes you cannot apply.
