Erziehungs Geld, Mutterschaft or Eltern Geld.

Umschalten
Hi All,

I would like to ask about the possibiliy of getting any funding from Govt regarding my new born baby (08.09.2009).
I, my wife both have work permit. (she got arbeit erlaubnis today (15.10.2009)). We both have simple Aufthehalt Erlaubnis.
I have applied for KinderGeld. I got no answer from them yet. I was wondering, whatelse I can do to apply for funding ?
I earn good but my wife does not work at all as she just got the permit.

Is there any way, we can apply for Erziehung or eltern geld ? or anything like similar.

Best Regards,
Zeeshan.

Your wife can apply for elterngeld, which would be 300 Eur/Month for 12 months since she has not worked in the last 12 months.

Thanks for the info raj,
I thought 67% is only to those who are employed at the time of child birth.

as i said, she will get it only if she has worked in the last 12 months. The calculation is

67% of (sum of all salaries in last 12 months) / 12.

So if she has not worked in the last 12 months she will get only the basic of 300 Euros.

If she has worked for only 10 months then i think it is like

67 % of (sum of salaries for 10 months) / 12

Do you guys know if there's a minimum duration of time a mother has to work before giving birth in order to be able to get those 67%?

Oh and one more important thing. All calculations are Netto salary. Brutto is not considered.

Thanks for the extra Info raj.

I have 1 more question, in case the mother is on a leave and getting the 67% average of her previous 12 months netto salary. Can the working father change to tax class 3?

It is advisable to change the Tax class of the partner taking the Elternzeit & Elterngeld to class 3 as soon as the pregnancy is confirmed. That way the 12 months average netto is increased thereby increasing the amount of Elterngeld.
