Applications can be submitted from the birth of the child until the child’s 30th month of life and are made via a standardized form at the Office of the Burgenland Provincial Government, Department 9 – EU, Society and Funding Affairs. Required documentation includes, among others, wage tax certificates or annual wage slips or income tax assessments, monthly wage slips for the last three months, property value assessments for non-accounting-obliged agricultural and forestry workers, proof of other income, insurance data excerpts of co-insured family members, as well as the current tax office notification regarding the receipt of family allowance.
