What is required to apply for child allowance ?
?
First, you must have a child in your care or at least in alternative care;the Child Allowance Application Formandthe Quarterly Income Certificatecan be completed at the Department of Labor or downloaded from the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs website. If employed, have the employer complete the income verification form. Do not go to the counter without a completed income certificate!
It is important to know when to apply for child allowance. You should apply for the child allowance repeatedly in January, April, July, October, and every other quarter.
Example:
.
You go to the Job Center in June. You file a “regular due” claim for benefits on April 1, 2019, but because you filed in the second quarter, you are eligible to file from the first day of that quarter.
Thus, you claim child benefits beginning April 1, 2019, but record income for the prior period. Claimants often confuse these two different things. However, it is true that.
If you are claiming child benefits starting April 1, 2019, you must prove income for the first quarter of 2019. If you are unemployed and do not work and have no income, you can prove this by affidavit. If you are registered as a job seeker with Hello Work, you do not need to state the amount of benefits. Hello Work has access to the records and will reconcile data from both Hello Work and the local health insurance office or tax office.
In other words, if you are receiving a pension (old age, widow, orphan, etc.) or sickness benefit paid by the district social insurance office, or if you file a tax return as a self-employed person or company employee and have concurrent income, your refund will also be played to your income at Hello Work. The tax office, the social insurance office, and the unemployment insurance office are all connected, so there is no point in hiding anything.
You can either prove the income (net wages) posted by your employer or your employer can verify the replacement wages for the first 14 calendar days of your illness. Of course, if you have more than one job, or if you have rental income, business income, foreign income, or other income, record these as well.
For children who are students, income from work experience from school or other “part-time” net income is also considered income.
Child support payments to a child are also considered income.
A child allowance may be received if the income of all persons assessed does not exceed 2.7 times the family\’s minimum standard of living.
Eligibility for the child allowance can be checked in the section “National Social Assistance/Information for Citizens/Child Allowance” on the MLSA\’s integrated portal.
