The German government talks about a "new start for family support": an agreement has been reached on the Basic Child Benefit. From 2025, an additional expenditure of 2.4 billion euros is planned.
The government coalition plans additional spending of around 2.4 billion euros on the basic child benefit from 2025. This was confirmed by Federal Family Minister Lisa Paus (Greens) and Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) at a joint press conference with Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD).
The plans are set out in a document in which the federal government talks about a "fresh start for family support".
The different financial aids from the state will be grouped together into a single support benefit. All children and young people would benefit from basic child safety", their rights can be claimed "without bureaucratic obstacles".
The basic child contribution consists of an income-independent "child guarantee amount" (until now known as child benefit) and an "additional child amount" depending on age and income.
Children whose parents receive Citizen Compensation or social assistance are also expected to benefit from this. Children who are no longer minors can receive the guaranteed amount themselves.
"Adaptation of needs to the reality of life".

However, the expenses are expected to continue to increase even afterwards, because the so-called minimum socio-cultural standard of living, which is decisive for the amount of compensation for the citizen, must also be re-evaluated.
"Thus, the needs for children will be adapted to the reality of current life", the document states. "As a result, the normal requirements for child support will increase".
According to the scientific service of the Bundestag, the vital socio-cultural minimum also includes the guarantee of the possibility of maintaining interpersonal relations and participation in social, cultural and political life. In the case of the basic guarantee for children, it is about enabling them to take part in sports or music lessons, school trips or a trip to the theater with the school.
According to the document, in the future there will be one point of contact for all child benefits: the Family Service of the Federal Employment Agency. All children should be treated equally, regardless of the professional status of the parents.
Përveç kësaj, pritet të zhvillohet një "kontroll bazë i sigurimeve shoqërore për fëmijët". Qëllimi është që të përdoren të dhëna të ndryshme në mënyrë të mbrojtur për të kontrolluar nëse një familje ka të drejtë për kontributin për fëmijën.
Marrëveshja e arritur në kancelari për një shumë fillestare prej 2.4 miliardë eurosh u parapri nga një mosmarrëveshje disamujore midis të Gjelbërve dhe FDP-së brenda koalicionit. Deri tani, Ministri i Financave Christian Lindner (FDP) donte të rezervonte vetëm dy miliardë euro për vitin e ardhshëm buxhetor. Ministrja e Familjes Lisa Paus (Të Gjelbrit) kërkoi deri në dymbëdhjetë miliardë euro dhe së fundmi bllokoi një ligj nga Ministri i Financave për lehtësimin e taksave. Paus tani ka thënë se nga ana e saj nuk ka më asnjë kundërshtim ndaj të ashtuquajturit Ligj i Mundësive të Rritjes.

Gjatë konferencës për shtyp me Lindner-in dhe Heil-in (SPD), Paus foli për "negociata nganjëherë shumë të vështira". Ajo do të kishte dashur një hap edhe më të madh në luftën kundër varfërisë së fëmijëve, por gjithsesi është e kënaqur me rezultatin. Sipas saj dokumenti krijon më shumë drejtësi sociale.
Ministri i Financave foli për një "rezultat të mirë”, të cilit i paraprinë "diskutime konstruktive dhe intensive” duke pasur parasysh kompleksitetin e temës. Për të është e rëndësishme që reforma të inkurajojë punën. Njerëzit nuk duhet të bien në varfëri materiale pavarësisht punës së tyre.
Sipas tij, shteti federal nuk mund të financojë më reforma të mëdha sociale për disa vite. Kontributi Bazë për Fëmijët do të kushtojë rreth 400 milionë euro më shumë në vitin 2025 sesa ishte planifikuar më parë. Kjo rrit edhe më tej nevojën për veprim për buxhetin e vitit 2025. "Kjo është arsyeja pse unë guxoj të parashikoj se, në perspektivën e viteve të ardhshme, kontributi bazë për fëmijët do të jetë reforma e fundit e madhe sociale që do të hyjë në kuadrin buxhetor të federatës”.
Ministri i Punës Heil tha se ishte "çështje dinjiteti" që çdo fëmije duhet t'i jepet mundësia të bëjë diçka me jetën e tij. Kontributi Bazë për Fëmijët është, së bashku me të ardhurat nga shtetësia dhe reforma e ndihmës për strehimin, projekti i tretë madhor i qeverisë federale.
After agreeing on the essential points, the associations and federal states will discuss until the government coalition presents a joint bill by mid-September, which will then be debated in the Bundestag. Further clarification is possible during the proceedings, according to Lindner. A review after a certain time is also possible, Paus added. However, it adheres to the launch of the Basic Contribution for Children in January 2025./ DW
