Child supplement (KiZ)

Child supplement – ​​what is it?

The child supplement is a benefit for low-income families. Parents can only receive the child supplement if they earn enough for themselves, but their income is insufficient or barely sufficient for their entire family.

The existing family benefit, the child supplement (KiZ), supports families where the parents' income is insufficient to support the entire family. The scope of the child supplement was expanded last year with the Strong Families Act; approximately 2 million children are now eligible because their parents have low incomes.

This can mean up to an additional 185 euros per month per child.
