How does child benefit work in Brussels?
Since January 1, 2020, child benefit in Brussels has been regionalized and changed. Brussels now has its own rules and amounts. The significant change is that child benefit is now determined according to the place of residenceand the age of your children (and no longer according to the order of arrival in the family). This new system allows most families in Brussels to receive a more advantageous amount.Did you receive a higher amount with the old system? Don't worry. If the new amounts are lower than the ones you received before, you can keep the old amounts (as long as there is no change in your family situation).

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.
