Child Allowance for Nationals: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn about the monthly financial assistance available to Emirati families and the steps required to maintain your eligibility.

This scheme provides monthly financial assistance to help Emirati families manage the ongoing costs associated with raising children.

Who it's for

This support is designed specifically for Emirati families. To be eligible, your family must meet certain income criteria established by the Ministry of Community Development. These rules ensure that the financial aid reaches families who meet the specific economic requirements set for this program.

What you get

If you qualify, you will receive a monthly financial payment for each child in your family. This assistance is provided as a recurring monthly amount intended to support the needs of your children.

What it costs you

There is no monetary fee to apply for this assistance. The primary requirement is the time and effort needed to provide your official documentation. Specifically, you must provide your family registry, known as Khulasat Al Qaid, to verify your family structure and status.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that your eligibility is tied to your current family situation. You must proactively update your status with the Ministry if your family size changes. If you have a new child or if your household composition changes, you must report this change to ensure your monthly benefits remain accurate and up to date.

How to apply

  1. Ensure you have your official family registry (Khulasat Al Qaid) ready for verification.
  2. Access the official government portal to start your application.
  3. Follow the guided steps on the digital platform to input your family and income details.
  4. Submit your application through the portal for review by the Ministry.
