Adoption benefit (ÖFD)
2024. 06. 27.
Since January 1, 2020, prospective parents adopting a child aged two years or older (three years in the case of twins) may qualify for adoption benefit
if they are insured and have accrued 365 days of insurance within the two years preceding the commencement of care for the child. Additionally, the child must have been continuously raised in their own household for less than one year prior to being taken into care.
The amount of adoption benefit is 70% of the daily base determined by the adopting parent's income, but not exceeding 70% of twice the minimum wage per month (which in 2024 is HUF 373,520). Only personal income tax advance is deducted from the benefit amount.
Adoption benefit is payable for up to 168 days from the date the child is taken into care.
While receiving the benefit, there are no restrictions on engaging in employment.
