Child Benefit: The A21 platform opens on Friday

The A21 electronic platform for child benefit applications will open on February 27, 2026, allowing eligible families to submit their requests until March 11, 2026.

The Greek Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family has announced the opening of the A21 electronic platform for child benefit applications on February 27, 2026, at 08:00. This platform will remain accessible for families to submit their requests until March 11, 2026, at 18:00. Eligible applicants can access the platform through provided government websites using their Taxisnet personal credentials.

The amount of child benefit a family can receive will be calculated based on the number of dependent children declared in the A21 application for the year 2026, as well as the total family income reported for the tax year 2024. This initiative aims to support families financially and ensure that benefits are distributed effectively to those in need, especially in light of rising living costs and a challenging economic environment.

The announcement comes at a time when families are encouraged to take advantage of government support programs to ease financial burdens. With the platform being user-friendly and accessible online, it is expected that many eligible families will apply for the child benefit. Authorities are likely to monitor the application process closely to ensure smooth operations and timely disbursement of funds to qualifying households.
