        It is, but at a percentage of income (2/3?). The loss of income is usually manageable. If your income is low enough that you’re already on the edge, that loss could push you over.

        I suppose you could say the same thing if your income and expenses are both quite high, as there is a maximum payout.

            Here it’s for 1 year and can be at least partly split between both parents. I’m pretty sure that it also applies to adoptions.
