After the Ukrainian family is registered in the municipality, you can apply at a Groeipakket payment fund. The payment fund needs the national register numbers of the Ukrainian parents/guardians present here to start the application.
To ensure a smooth and secure payment, the Groeipakket payment fund also needs a Belgian bank account number of the parents/guardians. The Ukrainian family can easily open an account with any Belgian bank by using the basic banking service.
If the Ukrainian family has a certificate of temporary protection, it can open an account at any bank. This can be done through the basic banking service.
This is possible via a Groeipakket application. The application can be submitted directly via the website, by mail or on paper with one of the 5 payment funds.
You can also use this simple application tool. Applications submitted via the tool will automatically go to the public Groeipakket payment fund, FONS.
If the children's parents or guardians are present in the Ukrainian family, they will receive the Groeipakket for their children.
If you host a Ukrainian child whose parents or Ukrainian guardians are not present in your family, you can apply to receive the Groeipakket for that child yourself.
No. You can, however, help the family apply for the Groeipakket via a Groeipakket payment fund or through this simple application tool.
No. Your family and the Ukrainian family are considered separate families. As such, this does not affect your children's Groeipakket.
