My situation

Congratulations on the birth of your little one! Enjoy those first precious moments. You will probably have quite a lot of tasks on your to-do list, such as sending out birth announcements, etc. We’ve prepared a handy checklist to prevent you from forgetting anything or missing out on any benefits:

Welcome to Belgium! You probably have a mountain of tasks on your to-do list. KidsLife will help you to obtain all the benefits to which your child is entitled.
Submitting an application is extremely quick and easy! Our KidsLife advisers will set straight to work on processing your request.

Adopting a child is a life-changing experience. Just like the birth of a baby. If you adopt a child in Belgium, then you’re entitled to financial compensation: the Child Benefits, which includes the Adoption Premium.

Is your child growing up faster than you can say Jack Robinson? Check! Before you know it, it's time for you to leave your little one at a daycare facility or with a host family for the first time. If your child attends a childcare facility, then you will receive a childcare allowance. This is one of the supplementary allowances that forms part of the Growth Package. 

Ready for the next chapter in your child's life? Pre-school awaits! Another big step for your little one that warrants an additional financial boost.  

Moving home? To another region within Belgium? Or to another country? View how your house move impacts your Child Benefit and Growth Package payments here.

How do these various scenarios affect your Child Benefit? How long will you retain your Growth Package or Child Benefit entitlement? We list all the potential scenarios for those with children who have reached the age of majority below!

Working part-time, unemployed or currently on sick leave? These all have an impact on your family budget. Fortunately, in some situations, a number of other financial benefits can offset your loss. KidsLife ensures that you don’t miss out on any benefits.

A divorce can also affect your Child Benefit payments. What arrangements do you need to make? Who will receive the Child Benefit payments going forward? Will you receive an additional supplement in your capacity as a single mother or father?
