Child benefit explained in an easy and understandable way

We explain the concept of the child benefit to you.

Child benefit is a financial and income-independent support for parents who live in Germany and are subject to unlimited income tax. The payment is determined on the basis of the number of children. Child benefit is paid for children up to the age of 18. If the child has not yet reached the age of 25 and is in education, he or she may also receive child benefits. Children who are registered unemployed receive child benefit until the age of 21. For families who live abroad or belong to a different nationality, there are additional provisions to consider. Child benefits are generally paid by the child benefits departments of the Federal Employment Agency. Responsibility is basically organized according to the zip code of the place of residence.
