Income-related allowance, the new Social Allowance in Brussels
KidsLife assists low-income families by paying them a supplementary allowance.
The social allowance is completely dependent on your situation: your place of residence, your income and your family situation.
On 8/09/2020, families entitled to Social Allowance will receive a one-off supplement: the Covid-19 supplement in Brussels. Find out more

KidsLife ensures that you automatically receive what you are entitled to. We examine the entitlement to this allowance for every family in Brussels, so you do not need to apply for it. Quite handy, right?
