Municipality of Zutphen: applying for an allowance for own contribution to childcare costs

Please note: you can apply for the compensation for personal contribution to kinderopvangtoeslag (childcare allowance) only if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.

You are eligible for compensation if one of the following situations applies to you and your partner:

• You receive social welfare benefits and are following a mandatory inburgering (civic integration) programme with an approved institution.
• You work and receive supplementary social welfare benefits.
• You are studying and earn the minimum wage.
• You are under the age of 27, have no basic qualifications and are receiving support from the municipality to return to education.
• Your social welfare benefits are going to cease because you have found a job. In that situation, you will receive a one-off payment of €300.
