Kindergeld (child benefit)

Kindergeld ·Gerido por Familienkasse der Bundesagentur für Arbeit

Kindergeld continues right through university: as long as you're in your first vocational training or first degree, your parents receive it until your 25th birthday. In a first degree your own earnings don't matter; after a first qualification the entitlement lapses if you work more than 20 hours per week. On 1 January 2026 it rose to €259 per month, and in special cases it can be paid out directly to you (Abzweigung).
