Education and participation package
Benefits from the education and participation package are usually cash or non-cash benefits (in the form of vouchers). You receive them from your city or municipality. Sometimes, for example, the costs for tutoring are covered or the membership fee for the sports club is subsidised.
Bonuscard
Many cities and municipalities offer bonus cards or voucher booklets for people on low incomes. Here is an overview:
Economic youth welfare
This term refers to financial youth welfare benefits that are income-dependent and are applied for at the following offices.
Child benefit and child supplement
Kindergeld can be applied for in writing or online at the Familienkasse (family benefits office) of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit (Federal Employment Agency).
If the income is not sufficient, families can receive the so-called child supplement in addition to child benefit. The application must be submitted separately to the Familienkasse (family benefits office).
Parental allowance
Parental allowance is an income-related family benefit designed to provide financial support for families after the birth of a child.
For BAföG recipients, the minimum amount of parental allowance of 300 euros is not taken into account. This is an ADDITIONAL payment.

Housing benefit
