To whom?

Childbirth allowance is a one-time allowance in the amount of 320 euros paid when a child is born.

In the case of triplets (or more siblings), the allowance is 1,000 euros per child (which totals to 3,000 euros in the case of triplets).

Birth allowance is one of the most straightforward types of family allowances. The aim is to help parents cover the costs associated with the birth of a new secular citizen through a one-time grant. Birth allowance is usually paid out on the 8th of the month following the birth.
