The child allowance in Germany is paid until the child’s 18th, 21st, or 25th birthday, depending on circumstances. If the child is unemployed or job-seeking, payments continue until the age of 21. If the child is in school or studying, the allowance is paid until the age of 25. Families can receive the child allowance even if they live abroad, but payments cease if the child receives similar benefits from other sources or from abroad. In some cases, a partial allowance can be obtained.
