Families should again receive a child bonus in the corona crisis.

It is already clear when the bonus will be paid out to most families this year.

  • Because of the corona crisis, families with children should continue to receive financial support.

  • As in the previous year, families receive a child bonus. 

  • This time the surcharge on child benefit should be 150 euros.

    The one-time payment should be made in May for most families.

Corona child bonus: One-time payment comes in May for most families

Update from March 31st, 2021:

Families will get a

child bonus

again this year

.

The

additional

150 euros

are available for every child who is or was entitled to child benefit for at least one month in 2021, said the Federal Employment Agency according to a report by the German Press Agency (dpa).

The

one-off payment is not offset against social benefits

and does

not have to be applied for

separately.

In most cases, the child bonus should be paid out in May

, as dpa also reported.

The

payment

is made

a few days after the regular child benefit

payment

.

For children who are or were entitled to child benefit before or after this year, the child bonus will be paid out at a later date, as the report also states.

The

child bonus payment

is therefore always made to those entitled to child benefit who last received child benefit for the child in question.

Changes to address and account data should therefore be

communicated to

the responsible regional

family

benefits office.

Update from February 4th, 2021:

The grand coalition wants to cushion the negative consequences of the corona pandemic for those particularly affected with new aids.

The leaders of the CDU / CSU and SPD agreed on Wednesday at their first coalition committee of the year to provide billions in support, including for families.

This is

planned according to

one of the

resolutions

:

As in the previous year, families will receive a child bonus

, as reported by the German Press Agency (dpa).

The

surcharge on child benefit * should therefore

amount to a

one-off 150 euros

.

It is offset against the tax-free child allowance, but not counted towards the basic security.

Last year the one-time payment was 300 euros.

Update from June 29th, 2020:

The Bundestag has decided on important parts of the economic stimulus package - including the

child bonus

of 300 euros for every child entitled to child benefit, as reported by "Tagesschau.de".

The first 200 euros should therefore be paid in September with the child benefit, the remaining 100 euros in October.

The child bonus will not be counted towards the basic security, but with higher earners it will be offset against the tax child allowance - which should benefit families with less money in particular.

Coron: Cabinet wants to decide on child bonus

Update from June 12th, 2020:

On Friday, the

federal government

wants to bring

 new relief due to the

corona crisis

on the way.

It has to be done quickly - because some measures should take

effect by

July 1st

.

The planned 

child bonus

is also an issue.

For example, families are to

receive

a supplement on

child benefit

in the next month

.

A

bonus of 300 euros per child is

planned - and this should come to the account in three installments.

The allowance is

offset against

the

child allowances

for

income

tax, but not counted towards the basic security, as reported by the German Press Agency (dpa).

As a result, low earners benefit more from the corona bonus than high earners.

The higher the parents' income, the less there is left of the extra payment after the tax return *.

According to the dpa, the full amount of 300 euros only remains if married parents with one child do not have an annual income of more than 67,800 euros.

From an income of around 85,900 euros, these parents no longer have any benefits from the child bonus.

After the

cabinet decision

on Friday, special sessions of the Bundestag and Bundesrat are planned.

Update from June 9th, 2020: 300 euros extra per child - who benefits above all

According to the plans of the federal government, families with children are to be

financially supported

with the so-called 

child bonus

.

"

300 euros per child

are expected to be paid out in three installments. The benefit is to be

linked

to

child benefit

, which then increases three times by 100 euros per month," writes ntv.de.

The 300 euros extra per child will therefore be

offset against

the

child allowances

for

income

tax.

In other words, not all parents benefit equally from the additional service, as Uwe Rauhöft from the Federal Association of Wage Tax Aid Associations (BVL) explains on the portal.

Parents with lower

incomes

can look forward to

: "Unmarried parents benefit in full from the child bonus up to an income of around 33,900 euros," Rauhöft has calculated.

"Married parents benefit up to an income limit of 67,800 euros."

Child allowance: To which families is the money paid - and in what amount?

If parents deserve more, reports ntv.de, the

child allowances

through the

income tax assessment

normally

bring

more relief than the child benefit paid over the course of the year.

For 2020, however, it will mostly remain with child benefit including child bonus for these parents as well.

"Only from an income of more than 85,900 euros do the tax exemptions for 2020 over and above the child benefit," said Rauhöft according to the portal.

For unmarried parents, this limit is 42,950 euros, writes the portal.

"From this income onwards, the

child bonus

initially paid

will be fully offset again in the 2020 income tax return (promotional link)," the expert is quoted further there.

"As a result, the proposed bonus only benefits parents with low and middle incomes."

Update from June 5th, 2020: This is how the child bonus is paid out to families

In the Corona crisis, families with children should receive the so-called child bonus.

How is it paid out and who can expect what?

Families

will receive the planned

child bonus

of

300 euros per child

in the next few months, expected to be transferred to their account in three installments, as the German Press Agency (dpa) reported on Thursday.

Family Minister Franziska Giffey

 announced the

first details

.

Attention savers: What to keep in mind with negative interest rates - is it worth switching accounts?

The money will probably come together with the monthly

child benefit payment

, as dpa reported on Thursday.

"Then the bank statement for the child benefit payment would not be 204 euros, but 304 euros over three months," said the SPD politician.

According to the report, it was still unclear whether the first money would be transferred in July or later.

One thing is certain: families with high incomes do not benefit.

In the case of a couple family with one child, they assume that up to a taxable income of 90,000 euros these families will still benefit from the child bonus, Giffey said according to the report.

You can find more details on the Corona economic stimulus program here *.

Child bonus: families should know that

"The

child bonus

is socially fair," said Giffey according to the report.

High earners would not be taken advantage of.

Families with small and middle incomes would be strengthened.

The 300 euros extra per child should therefore

not

be offset

against Hartz IV benefits

.

For

tax

purposes, however, they are

offset against

the

child allowances

.

For high incomes, this means that in the end they have nothing from the special payment, reports dpa.

That is the background: the state pays child benefit on application until the children are 18 or until they have finished their education.

At the same time, there are so-called child tax allowances for parents (2019: 7,620 euros per child).

These are deducted from the taxable income, which reduces the tax payable.

The tax office then automatically checks in the tax return whether the parents have more of the child benefit or more of the tax exemption.

With high earners, the tax exemption is more worthwhile.

If

child benefit has

nevertheless been

paid out, it will be collected again through the tax.

It should be done in a similar way with the

child bonus

, as dpa reported on Thursday.

Article from June 2nd, 2020: Talking about family bonus - 300 euros per child?

The coalition is advising on a

billion-dollar injection for the economy

.

The heads of the black-red coalition want to decide on a billion package on June 2 to stimulate the economy in the Corona crisis *.

In conversation: a so-called 

family bonus

.

This could mean, for example, a one-off payment of

300 euros per child

to support families in crisis and to stimulate consumption.

The SPD is particularly committed to such a bonus.

But also some Union politicians have shown sympathy for it.

It could be discussed whether such a

bonus should

really be distributed to all

families

or only to families in need.

What critics say

Meanwhile, while many in the Union had a lot of stomach ache with their performance, the SPD wanted to pay the money to all families, BR Online also reported.

Accordingly, some experts also consider the family bonus to be wrong, with some calling for an end to homeschooling instead.

Background: One reason for the discussed family bonus, as BR Online also reports, was that parents could use the money to buy tablets or other devices for home cooling their children.

Working parents have a particularly difficult time in the Corona crisis *.

That is why they should be relieved, for example, through wage replacement payments *.
