Child benefit

Child benefit is paid to your parents on a monthly basis. Child benefit is € 190 for the first and second child, € 196 for the third child and € 221 for each additional child. During your studies, your parents will receive child benefit until you are 25 years old. You can find more information about child benefit here.
