Greece to Issue 150 Euro Supplementary Child Benefit Payment on August 31

Greece is set to disburse a supplementary child benefit payment of 150 euros per child on August 31. This additional support is intended for families who missed out on the initial payment due to administrative or procedural reasons.

The primary group expected to benefit from this supplementary payment includes parents who welcomed a child in 2025 but whose dependent status was not correctly registered on their tax return. This oversight prevented the automatic calculation of the benefit. To qualify, parents must have declared the child as a dependent in a timely tax return for the 2025 tax year and included the child's AMKA (social security number).

Furthermore, parents need to ensure the child has been issued an AMKA and that a correct IBAN, linked to a bank account of either parent, has been provided. No new application is necessary if all required procedures have already been completed. The Greek government is facilitating this payment to ensure families receive the intended financial support.

For children born between January 1 and July 31, 2026, a different procedure applies. Parents must obtain a tax identification number (AFM) for the child and then link it with the AMKA. The process for issuing an AFM requires documents such as the birth certificate and a parent's sworn statement consenting to its issuance. Authorities advise parents to verify the accuracy of all registered details promptly to ensure eligibility for the upcoming payment.
