Until what age are you entitled to a Groeipakket ?

Is your child under 18 or will your child turn 18 this year?

Your child has an unconditional right to the Groeipakket until the month in which it turns 18. The Groeipakket is a financial support for the upbringing of your child.

Each child is entitled to a basic amount, which is paid monthly by one of the five Groeipakket payment funds. You choose yourself which payment funds pays your Groeipakket.

Is your child 18 years or older?

From the age of 18 until the month the child turns 25, there may still be an entitlement to the Groeipakket if your child meets the study and employment conditions.

There are several study conditions once your child turns 18:

• Read more about the study conditions for secondary education
• Read more about the study conditions for higher education

Even if your child is 18 or older and a job student or school leaver, they may still be entitled to a Groeipakket:

• Read more about the employment conditions for a job student
• Read more about the employment conditions for a school leaver
