claim parental benefit

What deadlines must be paid attention to?

An application for parental allowance can only be made after the birth of the child.
Benefits are granted from birth at the earliest and retroactively for the last 3 months of life before the month of application at the most.
Parents can apply for parental allowance from the day of birth until the child is 18 months old.
If children are taken into the household with the aim of adoption, the 14-month period begins on the day the household is taken in. (Not the date of birth and not the date on which the adoption is recognized). The entitlement ceases as soon as the child reaches the age of eight.
