Apply for monthly benefits for the maintenance of foster children
To ensure the necessary maintenance of foster children, ongoing benefits are granted in the form of lump sums for the costs of material expenses and for care and upbringing.
The lump sums for the costs of material expenses are graduated according to age and cover the entire, regularly recurring living expenses of a foster child. The lump sums for care and education are independent of age.
