When can I start applying for a maternity allowance?
Are you expecting a child?
For the birth of a child, you receive a one-time financial support from the government in Brussels: the maternity allowance. You can apply for this allowance from Famiris starting from the sixth month of your pregnancy (4 months before the due date).
Has your baby already been born?
You can still apply for the maternity allowance up to three years after the birth. You only need to provide the birth certificate or an extract of your family composition. You can request both documents from the civil registry of your municipality.
