Infino your child benefit fund : Request your maternity allowance and receive a financial boost

Extra:

When should you submit the application and when is the amount paid?

In order to submit a valid application, you must attach a medical certificate proving that you are at least five full months pregnant.

By submitting your application in advance (and from your sixth month of pregnancy onwards), you will receive the Start payment at the earliest two months before the due date of birth of your child and on condition that the pregnant mother has permission to stay in Belgium. Please note that payers have certain payment dates by law; these are the same for each fund.

In addition, if you make your request after the two-month period before the birth, you will receive the amount on the next payment date set for the payers. There is no obligation to submit your application in advance, you do it whenever you want as soon as you are six months pregnant.

Would you like Infino to take care of your application? We are happy to do so!  Request your starting amount before birth 

Do you still need to make arrangements with your paymaster?

Once you have submitted your application for a starting amount, you do not need to take any further steps with your payer of the Growth Pack. Your file has been opened, we automatically receive the information about the birth of your child through your municipal administration.

Good to know:

• Would you like the payment of the starting amount to be made to an account in the name of both parents? Of course this is possible. The rule is that the mother (or the person who is to receive the payment) must have access to the bank account on which the payment will be made.
• You did not make the application before the birth of the child; are you still entitled to it? Yes, the "birth fee" is not lost as long as the statute of limitations has not expired. You still have up to 5 years after the birth/adoption to submit the application.
• Is it your second or next child and you did not submit the application before the birth? Your municipal administration will inform us of the new birth. We will then automatically examine your entitlement to the "birth grant" and keep you informed by email.
• You work in Belgium and the mother lives abroad. Are you then entitled to this premium? As soon as one of the parents works in Flanders, the right to the Start-up Bonus will be examined. Whether you are entitled to it or not depends on the country where you live. For some countries (such as France and Luxembourg), Belgium will never be able to pay the Starting Amount. For other countries, we can examine the difference in payment (i.e. the difference between the amount granted as a birth grant abroad and the amount of the Start amount) or pay out the full amount if there is no entitlement abroad. These scenarios are often examined on a case-by-case basis. In this case, we ask you to contact a case manager to review the application together.
• Did you unfortunately suffer a miscarriage or give birth to a stillborn child? Then of course you are still entitled to a "starting amount for birth". Send us the "stillborn child" certificate that you can request from your municipal administration. This document must confirm that the pregnancy lasted at least 180 days (the minimum pregnancy period to be entitled to the premium).
