The family benefits offices of the employment agencies pay a child allowance in case of need.

The crux: Hardly anyone gets the money.

Families do not know about the benefit or are unsure whether they are entitled to it.

This can easily be checked online.

Munich – The child benefit for the first and second child is currently 219 euros.

The Family Benefits Office pays 225 euros for a third child.

For the fourth and each additional child 250 euros. Some families can also receive the children's supplement (KiZ) of a maximum of 229 euros per month.

Money that is more than good for families in times of inflation, rising food prices and the energy crisis.

According to estimates, one million children are entitled to the child supplement

The child supplement is intended to prevent parents from having to apply for Hartz IV simply because of the expenses for their children.

Affected families, including many single parents, can apply for child benefit plus.

But "far too few families know and apply for the child allowance," explains a spokesman for the Federal Employment Agency to the 

image.

In times of massively rising energy costs and inflation, it is relevant that families with children do not give away money that could increase their family budget.

Example: A family with three children receives child benefit of 663 euros per month.

The KiZ can add up to a maximum of 627 euros per month.  

According to the family benefits office, the state paid around 1.3 billion euros to 300,000 needy families last year.

730,000 children benefited from the support, writes the 

Südwest-Presse

.

Studies assume that at least one million children would actually be entitled to the supplement.

"It can also be a good 1.5 million children," said a spokesman for the Federal Employment Agency of the 

Bild newspaper

.

Child allowance: How to apply for child allowance?

The family benefits offices of the employment agencies are responsible for the KiZ.

They always grant the benefit for full months.

There are conditions for receiving the child allowance.

For example, applicant parents must live with the child.

The maximum limit for entitlement to child supplement is - as with child benefit - the 25th year of life of a child.

Furthermore, the offspring themselves must not be married.

Whether and to what extent you are entitled to KiZ can be determined online with the KiZ-Lotsen.

Child supplement - Check online whether the supplement can be applied for

Many families are unsure whether they should fill out an application.

They are unsure if they will get paid for the performance.

To check this, there is the so-called KiZ-Lotsen on the Internet.

In four short videos, the navigator describes what information is required to check the entitlement to child supplement directly online.

The information includes questions such as:

  • To the child or children

  • In addition to whether you receive unemployment benefit II or social benefit,

  • In addition, how high the income is and

  • About how much rent the family pays.
