There is a monthly support called childhood guarantee that can go unnoticed to many families, but makes a difference in the budget. This is a money provision that is automatically assigned by social security and aims to complement family allowance until it reaches a minimum monthly value per child.
According to information published by Social Security, “the guarantee for childhood is a monthly money support, which complements family allowance for children and young people to ensure the payment of a total of 124.60 € (including the amount of family allowance)”.
Who is entitled to receive?
Support is intended for the most vulnerable families, in a situation of greater socioeconomic fragility.
According to Social Security, the right to benefit depends on the cumulative verification of the following requirements:
-The child or young man must be the holder of the family allowance, inserted in the 1st echelon;
-The age under 18;
-Make part of a family aggregate with reference yield less than 0.35 times the index of social support (IAS) times 14.
For the purposes of income of the income in 2025, the 2023 income will be considered, based on the IAS in force this year, which was € 480.43.
That is, the family aggregate reference income should be less than € 2,354.11, which corresponds to 0.35 x 480.43 € 14 months.

Do you need to place any requests?
No. The assignment of the guarantee for childhood is automatic.
If the child or young man is a beneficiary of the family allowance in the 1st level and complying with the indicated requirements, the complementary benefit will be automatically assigned, without the need for a request from the family.
However, it is important to ensure that family data is up to date with social security.
Any change in the composition of the aggregate or income must be communicated in timely to ensure access to the supports.
How much is it?
The value of the guarantee for childhood varies according to the amount of the allowed allowance, in order to supplement this amount until the total amount of 124.60 € per child or young man is assisted.
For example, for a child with more than 72 months receiving the 1st level family allowance (73.51 €), the complementary installment will be € 51.09, making a monthly total of € 124.60.
This value can make a significant difference in the monthly budget of families with lower income.
According to the information released by Social Security, this support aims to ensure a minimum reference income for the most needy families with dependents in charge.
It is therefore essential that the beneficiaries of family allowance of the first level are aware of this complement, even if no formal request is necessary.
The measure is part of the reinforcement of social benefits intended to combat child poverty, aligning with the objectives of the European guarantee for childhood, promoted by.
