Insurance & Family Benefits
Insurance & Family Benefits
Health insurance and the money families can claim.
Health insurance in Germany
Health insurance is mandatory — public (gesetzlich, GKV) vs private (privat, PKV), how contributions are split with your employer, and what's covered.
Child benefit and parental allowance
Kindergeld (monthly child benefit) and Elterngeld (parental allowance) — who qualifies, how much, and how to apply.
