Am I eligible for child benefit while studying?
Between the ages of 18 and 25, you may receive child benefit as long as you have not yet completed vocational training or a degree. Your income level does not affect eligibility. If you have already completed a course of study or training, you may still qualify under certain conditions, such as engaging in part-time employment.
Can I receive housing benefit while studying?
To be eligible for housing benefit, specific criteria must be met. This government subsidy helps cover rent and heating costs. However, students receiving BAföG (state funding) are generally not eligible. For further details, contact your local housing benefit office or municipal authorities.
Can I apply for an accommodation allowance while studying?
The accommodation allowance helps students cover their uncovered costs for rent and heating. This applies if actual housing costs exceed the standard allowance included in student funding or parental maintenance contributions. Even students living with their parents may be eligible for this allowance. More information is available from your local employment agency.
