AKW conditions in Tilburg: everything about child benefit

Discover the **AKW conditions** for child benefit in Tilburg. From place of residence rules to family situations: learn when you are entitled and how to report changes to the SVB.

AKW conditions explained for Tilburg residents

The **General Child Benefit Act (AKW)** regulates child benefit in the Netherlands, including Tilburg. This universal child support helps with upbringing costs and is administered by Toeslagen.nl. AKW conditions determine your entitlement to benefit based on place of residence, child's age and family composition.

In Tilburg, the same principle applies: every child up to 18 years (or longer in case of disability) qualifies parents for support, regardless of income. But pay attention to local nuances in case of address changes or divorces.

Legal basis and relevant articles

The AKW is enshrined in Dutch legislation, such as the Civil Code and Social Insurance Legislation. Important articles:

  • Article 1 AKW: Defines entitled persons for child benefit.
  • Article 2 AKW: Basic conditions such as Dutch place of residence and child's age.
  • Article 3 AKW: Amounts per child's age and quarters.
  • Article 4 AKW: Exceptions in case of co-parenting or emigration.
  • Article 5 AKW: Reporting obligation in case of changes, crucial for Tilburg residents with changing situations.

  • Child's age: Up to 18 years; in case of chronic disability up to 21 years. Report extension to SVB.
  • Nationality: No impediment – also for status holders in Tilburg, registration with the municipality suffices.

    • Stepparents with recognition.
