Frequently asked
How much is the Ausbildungszulage in 2026?
At least CHF 268 a month under federal law, and up to CHF 477 in Valais (CHF 585 from the third child). It is paid from the start of post-compulsory education until the end of the month the young person turns 25 at the latest.
Which canton's family allowance applies to me?
Usually the canton where the parent who claims works, through their employer's family allowance fund. If both parents can claim, the BSV priority rules decide, and the second parent can ask for the difference if their canton pays more.
Do I get more for a third child in Switzerland?
Only in Fribourg, Vaud, Valais, Neuchâtel and Geneva, which pay a higher rate from the third child. The other 21 cantons pay the same for every child.
