Understanding child benefits in Brussels
Child benefits are a monthly financial support provided to parents to help cover the education and needs of their children. In Brussels, every family is entitled to child benefits, with the amount depending on the child’s age, family situation, and other specific criteria.
Child benefits in Brussels: Who is eligible?
You are eligible for child benefits if you reside in Brussels and have dependent children under the age of 18 (or up to 25 years old under certain conditions). This applies to biological and adopted children, as well as children under your care following a court decision.
Since January 1, 2020, every child legally residing in the Brussels-Capital Region is entitled to child benefits. The employment status of the parents no longer affects eligibility—the right to child benefits is determined by the child’s legal residence.
What’s the amount of child benefits in Brussels?
The base amount of child benefits in Brussels is at least €174,08 per month per child, with higher amounts available for certain families. The exact amount may vary depending on the child’s age, family situation, and other specific factors.
