Studying abroad
If your child is heading abroad to study, you can continue to receive your Groeipakket (child benefit).
However, the conditions for this vary from country to country. Read all about studying abroad at the click of a button.
Living alone
If your child has flown the nest and started standing on their own two feet, they’ll receive the Groeipakket (child benefit) themselves.

Living together or getting married
