The BMBFSFJ family portal <\/a>helps you find the benefits to which you are entitled as a family and provides a good overview of all requirements and regulations, so we will only give you a brief overview of the various government benefits here. For detailed information on conditions, possible combinations, etc., please visit the family portal<\/a> or the linked pages at the relevant locations.<\/p>\n\n
