What are the allowances to child benefit?

In certain cases, child benefit may be increased. This depends on your financial situation (gross taxable income) and your family situation (single, cohabiting, number of children). In addition, other bonuses and allowances may also be granted for children and young people who need extra help. The various supplements available are as follows:
  • School premium (paid to all families)
  • Social supplement
  • Orphan's allowance
  • Supplement for children with a medical condition or disability
  • Foster care allowance
How do you claim them? We examine your situation on an individual basis so that you automatically receive what you are entitled to. That means you don't have to take any action.

Practical Information

Has your situation changed?

We do much more than pay child benefit. Because at a certain moment, children don't wear swaddles anymore, they go to school or explore the world... Perhaps you are thinking of taking a career break or retiring? All these situations often involve a lot of administrative changes.
