When are you entitled to a care allowance?

What all should you consider when applying for your healthcare allowance?

Many students see their healthcare allowance as a kind of extra pocket money. This is often because their parents are still paying for their health insurance.

Unfortunately, the importance of correctly applying for and keeping track of your health care benefit is quickly overlooked. It concerns not only your parents but also you as a student!

The amount of your care allowance is calculated based on an estimate of what you will earn in a year. For example, you may decide to live together or you may have just finished your studies and start working. Such changes are essential to the level of income and thus to determining your healthcare allowance.
