Child Benefit (Part of Super-benefit)

Super-benefit is a useful social benefit available through the State Social Support, putting several different benefits under one umbrella. All employed internationals who meet the established criteria can apply for the part dedicated to supporting a child. Internationals from EU or permanent residence permit holders can apply for other parts too. You can learn more here.

Birth Grant

Birth Grant (porodné) is definitely worth mentioning. It is a one-off benefit granted to single parents or families (biological, adoptive or foster) with low income and its main purpose is to at least partially cover the costs connected with care for their first (CZK 13,000) and second (CZK 10,000) live-born children¹. As for foreign families / single parents, the rule of the first-born only applies to children born /adopted / taken into foster care in the Czech Republic so even with older children born abroad you are still entitled to the benefit in case you meet this condition as well:

• the total family monthly net income (3 months prior giving birth) does not exceed 2.7 times the family’s living minimum. It is possible to apply up to 1 year back as long as the conditions were met at the time when the child was born / adopted. Check your eligibility here.
