Parents eligible for childcare allowance can still claim their 2012 benefits retroactively if they missed the original deadline. Submit your application before September 1, 2013, to secure this support.
Childcare allowance provides income-based assistance for childcare costs. You're eligible if you work, study, pursue job training, or attend an integration course at a certified institution—and your child attends a registered facility. For 2012 claims, the retroactive deadline is September 1, 2013, giving late applicants a second chance last year.
The amount you receive depends on factors like your income, the number of children in childcare, and your entitled hours. Apply easily for childcare allowance and other benefits through the Tax Authorities' website at www.toeslagen.nl.
