As part of the modernisation of its services, the Caisse pour l’avenir des enfants (CAE) has introduced a new online procedure via guichet.public.lu regarding applications for the continuation of family allowance for students over the age of 18.
Those concerned are invited, via a letter containing a QR code, to access an online procedure in order to provide the required information regarding the student’s educational situation. The procedure can be completed with or without authenticated access. Therefore, it is not mandatory to have an authenticated access (LuxTrust, GovID, eIDAS, etc.) to use it.
To help you complete the online procedure, a detailed step-by-step guide is available by clicking here.
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 submit us the application. You may be eligible for financial assistance from the Ministry of Higher Education and Research (Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche). To find out more, visit www.mengstudien.lu, under the heading "State financial aid".
