Girls, I have a question. When applying for a monthly payment upon birth of the first child, is it paid immediately for a year, right? Because I received a larger sum than expected. We submitted in May. I expected a bigger amount, but there was a sum like for a whole year. Who applied almost six months in, how did your payments come? Did you get paid immediately for half a year and then more payments came?
