Family allowances that you may perceive You are entitled to the set of benefits, in kind and in cash, destined to compensate the family charges by virtue of the employment State. Nevertheless, certain benefits are non-exportable as they are dependent on residence conditions. Therefore, they can not be attributed to your family members residing a member State other than your employment country. Thus, the following benefits are non-exportable :
--> Your spouse has no professional activity (is not perceiving unemployment benefits) The payment of family allowances is first and foremost assured by your employment State. Certain allowances are nevertheless paid by your residence State :
--> You or your spouse perform an activity in your country of residence Note The replacement revenues of your spouse (unemployment allowances, sick pay…) are compared to those of a professional activity. You will benefit first and foremost, family allowances from your State of residence. However, if the amount of the allowances granted by your country of employment is higher than those paid by your residence State, your employment country will pay a complement corresponding to the difference between both amounts. Wether you are a cross-border worker or not, you will benefit from family allowances from the competent country for the payment of your unemployment benefits. --> You are a pensioner (retirement pension or invalidity benefit) Benefits foreseen
Applicable legislation • You perceive a pension according the legislation of a single State : it is this country the competent one to pay the family allowances and your country of residence no matter which one it is. • You perceive a pension according to the legislation of different States : your country of residence is competent to grant the benefits but on the condition that the right to pension is open. If the amount of the pensions granted by your country of residence is inferior to the one given by other States debiting pensions, you have the right to get the highest amount. You benefit then from a complement until you get the final amount. Should you not have right to allowances nor in the country with the legislation you have been under during the longest period, nor in your State of residence, the opening conditions for your right to family allowances will be examined in digressive order of the duration of the insurance or residence periods accomplished under the legislation of the other member States. The allowances will depend on the State paying them. The claim shall be addressed to the competent institution or to the institution of the State of residence which will transmit to the institution of the State where you have paid most of the contributions.
