Familienkasse

The Familienkasse is an authority in Germany responsible for paying child benefits, known as Kindergeld. If you have children, you can apply for Kindergeld to receive financial support for their upbringing. For instance, parents receive monthly payments for each child to help cover their expenses.

Practical relevance: It’s important to submit your application on time, as you will only receive payments from the month you apply. Make sure to provide all necessary documents to avoid delays. Relevant regulations can be found in the Income Tax Act (EStG).
