Child Benefit

Child Benefit is a government payment made to parents to help with the costs of raising children. It is typically paid monthly, currently amounting to 250 euros per child. For example, if you have two children, you would receive 500 euros in Child Benefit each month.

Practical relevance: Child Benefit is crucial for covering child-rearing expenses. Applications must be submitted to the Family Benefits Office, and there are deadlines to keep in mind to avoid missing out on back payments. Relevant is § 66 SGB I, which outlines eligibility for the benefit.
