Families will receive new help. They will receive the September family allowance this month. The government supports the start of the academic year with this, reported M1 Híradó. A little girl showed the Hírado her new school supplies, she already has almost everything for the start of the school year. However, his three siblings still lack equipment, so their parents are already waiting for the early September family allowance. "The little kindergartener, as he outgrows his clothes almost every month, needs to be replaced. Two are going to high school, the eldest has been accepted to university. We're already looking at the options there, a dormitory, maybe a sublet, so it's a big help that we get two family allowances," said the parent speaking to the M1 staff.

The government is supporting the start of this year's school year with a double family allowance. The families received the August stipend already on the second day. And the September one is disbursed on August 24 by the Hungarian State Treasury.

Family allowance is usually received by one parent after his child or children. Families raising 3 children, for example, receive HUF 48,000 per month. In August, however, they receive twice as much support, i.e. almost HUF 100,000. On the M1, Nóra Király said that the utility reduction, which is maintained until average consumption, also helps families. And those with large families receive an extra gas price subsidy. Their average consumption limit is much higher, 600 cubic meters for three children, and another 300 cubic meters for each additional child. A family with 3 children can thus save HUF 550,000 a year. The founding president of the Club of Young Families also drew attention to the fact that those with large families who have not applied yet can apply for the discount at government offices.

"The address, number of children, date of birth must be indicated and a gas bill must be presented, on the basis of which this will be credited and then the reduced amount must be paid from September to those families where the parents are raising 3 or more children," he explained. Nora Király.

Since 2010, the government has tripled the amount spent on supporting families. This year, approximately HUF 3,000 billion was allocated in the budget for this purpose. Next year's budget guarantees the continuation of family subsidies. It will still be possible to apply for family tax relief, babysitting and home building support, tax relief for first married couples and the graduate childcare fee.
