Will there soon be over 100 euros more in child benefit? Social associations are demanding a huge increase. The liberal party under Christian Lindner plans to increase the child allowance without also increasing child benefit.
The SPD thinks this is unfair because it would mainly relieve the burden on high-earning households. Because: Families with low and middle incomes do not benefit from the allowance; they receive child benefit, says the SPD. In return, however, the FDP emphasizes that child benefit has already been increased to 250 euros in 2023.
