Kindgebonden budget can arrive automatically, but check it actually did

If you already receive zorgtoeslag, huurtoeslag or kinderopvangtoeslag, the child budget is paid automatically if you qualify - but if you get no other toeslag you must apply yourself, and many parents miss it. Worth hundreds to thousands per child per year, with an extra single-parent top-up. How: verify in Mijn toeslagen, apply manually if absent. Conditions (2026): full amount up to about 29,736 eur income (single parent) / 39,141 eur (couple), tapering above.
