Regeling voor niet-indexering van kinderbijslagbedragen per 1 juli 2009

This Dutch parliamentary item concerns a regulation that keeps child benefit (kinderbijslag) amounts at their existing levels from 1 July 2009, meaning they are not adjusted (indexed) that year to keep pace with price or wage changes. Indexation is the usual mechanism for maintaining the real value of benefits over time, so skipping it is a deliberate budgetary or policy decision. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full legislative text. Families in the Netherlands who receive child benefit are affected, since their monthly payments stay at the previous rate instead of rising with indexation. Government finances and the social security system are also affected by the savings this produces.
