The leaders of the coalition want to adopt a package worth billions to stimulate the economy in the Corona crisis. Will there be a family bonus too?
- The coalition meeting on June 2 is about possible economic stimulus.
- A family bonus is also under discussion.
- It is still unclear whether and for whom the bonus should be given.
Family bonus in discussion - 300 euros per child?
The coalition advises over a billion dollar injection for the economy . For example, the leaders of the black-red coalition want to adopt a package worth billions to boost the economy in the Corona crisis * on June 2.
In conversation: a so-called family bonus . For example, this could mean a one-off payment of € 300 per child to support families in crisis and to boost consumption. The SPD is particularly committed to such a bonus. But some Union politicians have shown sympathy for this.
It could be discussed whether such a bonus should really be distributed to all families or only to families in need.

Is the family bonus coming in 2020? What critics say
Meanwhile, BR Online also reported that while many in the Union were having great stomachaches with the performance, the SPD wanted to pay the money to all families. According to this, some experts also consider the family bonus to be wrong, and some are calling for an end to homeschooling instead. Background: One reason for the family bonus discussed was, as BR Online also reports, that parents could use the money to buy tablets or other devices for home-cooling of their children.
Working parents have a particularly hard time in the Corona crisis *. For this reason, they should also be relieved, for example, through wage replacement payments *.
