Request additional contribution for childcare

If your child goes to childcare, you can receive childcare allowance. You can arrange this via the Tax and Customs Administration. You can also receive an additional contribution from the municipality. For example, because you are following a reintegration program or training.

Are you not following a reintegration program or training? Then you are not eligible for childcare allowance. Sometimes it is necessary for your child to go to childcare. For example, because you or your partner has physical, mental or social problems. You can ask the municipality for a reimbursement for childcare costs. You need a socio-medical indication (smi) for this.

You must meet the following conditions:

You receive childcare allowance from the Belastingdienst (Tax and Customs Administration).
You, your partner and your child are registered with the municipality of Elburg.
