Het niet indexeren van het basiskinderbijslagbedrag in de Algemene Kinderbijslagwet per 1 januari 2013 en per 1 januari 2014

This Dutch national bill concerns the General Child Benefit Act (Algemene Kinderbijslagwet). It would stop the basic child benefit amount from being adjusted for inflation (indexation) on 1 January 2013 and again on 1 January 2014. Under normal rules, the amount would rise with price or wage developments. Based on the title alone, the measure is a budget-saving decision that keeps the benefit at its existing level for those two years. Parents and guardians receiving Dutch child benefit would be affected, as their payments would not rise with indexation in 2013 and 2014. The change would apply at the national level and would not alter the underlying eligibility rules, based on this metadata.
