Parents: AMKA, AFM, and IBAN are conditions for 150-euro emergency benefit per child

Parents are advised to ensure they meet specific requirements for an upcoming emergency benefit payment of 150 euros per child. A supplementary payment is expected by August 31 for families who were not included in the initial disbursement. This benefit is intended for children born between January 1, 2025, and July 31, 2026.

To receive the payment, parents must ensure their child is declared as a dependent on their timely filed 2025 tax return. Crucially, the child's AMKA (Social Security Number) must be correctly listed, and a valid IBAN must be registered with the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE). Failure to meet these criteria could delay the payment.

For children born between January 1 and July 31, 2026, parents must apply for a tax identification number (AFM) by August 10. This process requires submitting the final birth certificate to finalize the child's identification and facilitate the benefit payment. Parents are urged to check their details promptly to avoid any errors or omissions in their AMKA, AFM, or IBAN information.
