How do I claim the child benefits in Brussels?
The procedure below applies to Brussels only. If you live with your child(ren) in another region, you must apply for child benefits there.
You already have a file with Famiris
In that case child benefits will be paid automatically from the birth of your child onwards.
Don’t forget to claim the advance payment of the maternity allowance. This can be done quickly and easily using our on-line tool. Another option is to email your personal case worker.
You have no file with Famiris yet
Not yet a Famiris customer? You may simply claim child benefits using our on-line tool. A few clicks will do the job.
You can also fill out the form Claim child benefits and send it to us: Famiris, Trierstraat 70 box 1, 1000 Brussels. The easiest way is to make a scan or take a picture of the filled out form and send it to info@famiris.brussels.
Under what name do you submit the application?
If you have a national number, use the name that appears on your identity document issued by a Belgian municipality.
If not, use the name that appears on your foreign identity card or another official document in your possession that states your identity.
