Information about birth and adoption.
Do you have children and live in Flanders? Then you may be entitled to the Vlaams Groeipakket (Flemish Growth Package), financial support for families with children.
Every child automatically receives a monthly basic amount. In some situations, your family may also receive additional support through allowances.
What applies to you?
You will usually receive the Vlaams Groeipakket automatically for children under the age of 18.
The Vlaams Groeipakket you receive from the age of 18 depends on your child's situation.

Moving house, a divorce or another change in your family situation may affect your Vlaams Groeipakket.
Your family lives or works outside Flanders, or has recently moved to Flanders.
