An overview of the requirements and the way to receive child benefits in Germany
If you have children and live in Germany, you can receive an allowance from the government to cover the costs of raising your children.
Your child must live with you and be under 18 to receive this allowance. If they are over 18 years old, they must be studying or completing vocational training. Also, enrollment in a school in Germany is necessary for children aged 6 to 16.
First, you must get the benefit application form from the family benefits office and fill it out accurately. Then, submit the completed form with the required documents to the relevant office. This office will approve your application after reviewing the documents and information provided. As a result, you can receive a monthly benefit for raising your children, which amounts to 292 euros in 2024.
