As part of the modernisation of its services, the Caisse pour l’avenir des enfants (CAE) is gradually introducing a new online procedure via guichet.public.lu regarding applications for the continuation of family allowance for adult students in secondary education or similar.
Eligible recipients are invited, via a letter containing a QR code, to access the online procedure and provide the required information regarding the student’s educational status. The procedure can be completed with or without authenticated access. Therefore, it is not necessary to have authenticated access (LuxTrust, GovID, eIDAS, etc.) to use it.
This new procedure is currently being applied to a targeted subset of cases as part of a phased rollout. At this stage, it is not possible to contact the Caisse pour l’avenir des enfants (CAE) to request access to the online process.
Please note that after the age of eighteen, child benefit is only paid for children who are in traditional, general secondary education or similar. If the child is in higher education (university, BTS or other), there is no need to send us the form. You may be eligible for financial assistance from the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. To find out more, visit www.mengstudien.lu, under the heading "State financial aid", quoting the student's registration number.
