The Beeg Elterngeld Antrag is the official application for parental allowance in Germany. It follows the Bundeselterngeld- und Elternzeitgesetz (BEEG). Parents in Hamburg and all German states can use this form. It applies to births from July 1, 2015, onward.
The form guides applicants through several key areas. You provide personal information and employment history from before and after the birth. You also supply financial details so the authorities can calculate your benefit amount correctly.
Payments are limited to the three months before the month you apply. This means you should file as soon as possible after the birth. Late applications result in missed payments that cannot be recovered.
Special situations are also addressed in the form. Adjustments apply when the household includes siblings. Different rules cover adopted children and foster care placements. Both parents can share the benefit period of up to 14 months.
You must provide bank details for direct payment. You also need to confirm your residency status and income figures for the period before and after the birth. Accurate figures help avoid overpayment issues and delays.
