Posted on 4 March 2026
In March 2026, Brussels child benefits increase by 2% due to indexation. Famiris will pay the child benefit for March on Wednesday, 1 April 2026. If you are entitled to Brussels child benefit, you will automatically receive the increased amount. You do not need to take any action.
Which amounts are concerned?
All Brussels child benefit rates increase by 2%:
- maternity allowance and adoption grant;
- basic child benefit rates;
- supplements: supplement for orphans, social supplement, supplement for children with a disability;
- Annual age-related supplement (school allowance);

What is an indexation?
An indexation adjusts child benefit to the increased cost of living.
