Child benefit

Eine junge Frau läuft mit einem Kind auf dem Arm einen Weg entlang. Im anderen Arm trägt sie einen Block. Sie hat einen kleinen Rucksack auf dem Rücken. Hinter ihr laufen zwei junge Männer und eine junge Frau. Alle lachen.

Child benefit helps your parents to fulfil their maintenance obligations towards you. This is regulated in the Income Tax Act (EstG) and the Federal Child Benefit Act (BKGG). Child benefit is 250 euros per month and your parents are generally entitled to it from your birth and until your 25th birthday, provided you are still in education.

From 2025, the basic child protection scheme will be introduced, whose guaranteed child benefit will then replace child benefit. This will be paid directly to the child from their 18th birthday

You can find more detailed information on the application process and requirements below. If you have any questions, please contact our Student Life Advice Centre!
