Children’s Allowance is awarded to married couples, civil union couples, cohabiting couples, single parents, separated parents or returned migrants, having the care and custody of their children under 16 years of age and whose total annual income of relevant year two (2) years prior to current year (example: Children’s Allowance 2024 – Income 2022) from employment / social security is less than twenty-seven thousand and six euro (€27,006).
However, if income exceeds twenty-thousand and eighty-two euro (€20,082) but is less than twenty-seven thousand and six euro (€27,006), the minimum children’s Allowance rate will still be awarded. This results as if actual income is used to calculate the rate, the children's allowance due rate will be less than the minimum rate, thus minimum children’s allowance rate is awarded. This however, will not affect the children's allowance supplement.
