Landkreistag demands less child benefit • Table.Briefings

Children in other EU countries are also entitled to German child benefit.

The Landkreistag has presented its demands for the European elections. Among other things, it wants children in other EU countries to have less entitlement to social benefits depending on the member state.

The German Association of Counties is calling for an adjustment to child benefit regulations. For children living in other EU countries, the amount of the benefit should be based on the cost of living in the respective country, writes the association in its position paper on the European elections. In most member states, these are below the German level, meaning that the proposal would amount to a reduction.
