Overview: Families with low incomes can receive a monthly child allowance of up to 185 euros, depending on the family’s income, housing costs, the size of the family and the age of the children.
From April onwards, families who apply for a child allowance will no longer have to prove the income of the last six months, but only that of the last month before the application. Asset tests have been temporarily suspended too.
The changes apply until 30 September 2020.
