Hello,
I'm 18 and planning a work and travel program, so I quit my voluntary social year at the end of March. I'll start university in the winter semester.
Will I receive any child benefit during this time?
Do I have to register as unemployed with the employment agency or something similar?
Thanks

Loading...Hi, I want to go abroad to Europe for six months. Are there any scholarships available for that? They usually cost around €5,000. If I organized it myself, it would be €2,000, but a lot of people complained about that. And the destination doesn't matter for scholarships, right? If it doesn’t work for 6 months…
Hello, [Title Question] I've often heard that if you receive citizen's allowance, or if you get money from the social welfare office, you're not allowed to save, meaning you're not allowed to have any capital of your own (or something like that). But on the "great" internet, you read that you're "supposedly" allowed to save…
I applied for unemployment benefits and received a letter stating that documents were missing. Among them was a "preliminary application from early 2023." At the beginning of 2023, I changed from my training company to another company and had two weeks of downtime, during which I did not apply for unemployment benefits, but simply registered…

Hello, I (18) started a voluntary social year on September 1st. However, I'd like to shorten it to 6 months (so it would still be completed) because I'm having some problems. This means I would continue working at my place of work until February 28th and then start a mini-job immediately on March 1st. I'm…
If you register unemployed, you must also be available to the Federal Employment Agency.
There is no child benefit for Work & Travel.
And if I don’t do this within the transitional period? I own child allowance is paid up to 4 months
Between two training sections. So if there are 4 months between school and study.
Child benefit entitlement also for the period of “Work and travel”? (lohnsteuer-kompakt.de)
The Bundesfinanzhof has decided that participation in a “Work and travel” program is merely an ordinary stay abroad, which is not considered a “vocational training” and therefore does not justify entitlement to child benefit. A claim for child benefit is only valid for a language stay abroad if it is accompanied with a theoretical-systematic language instruction (BFH Decision of 14.9.2009, III B 119/08).

So NO child money
As a rule, you don’t have a child’s allowance because you don’t have an education:
