Wat is een Begunstigden kern?

De begunstigden kern is een term die alleen wordt gebruikt voor gezinnen in Vlaanderen. Het geeft de ontvanger aan van het Groeipakket. Dit zijn in eerste plaats de ouders, die beiden begunstigden worden genoemd. Zij beslissen gezamenlijk en ontvangen in samenspraak het Groeipakket en alle toeslagen. Ontvang je reeds Kinderbijslag voor 2019 en is er ondertussen niets gewijzigd in jouw situatie, dan blijft de situatie zoals voor 01/01/2019 geldig. In veel situaties is het dan maar 1 persoon die het Groeipakket (de nieuwe naam voor de Kinderbijslag) ontvangt, meestal de moeder. 
Voor jouw specifieke situatie kan je jouw online dossier My KidsLife raadplegen of contact opnemen met jouw KidsLife-adviseur

The maximum age for Child Benefit and Growth Package entitlement is 25 years. From the age of 18 upwards, you must satisfy certain criteria in order to retain your Child Benefit and Growth Package entitlement. No regular or automatic substitute applies once your entitlement to Child Benefit has ceased. If your child was entitled to a Care Allowance due to a specific support requirement, then they may be entitled to a Disability Allowance once their Child Benefit entitlement has ceased.  Please note that this is not an automatic entitlement. It must be requested and the application subsequently investigated.

Grandparents can receive Child Benefit for their grandchildren if they are registered at their address. This is on the condition that the parents are not registered at this same address.
