Germany is a welfare state, for that reason parents are entitled to parental benefits. The good news is that this allowance is paid for 3 months retrospectively. The maximum amount of “Elterngeld” is 1.800€ per month or 65% of last year’s income and can be received for up to 12 months, in some cases even up to 14 months. Furthermore, you should know about the existence of the so-called “ElterngeldPlus”, which ranges between 150€ and 900€ per month. But, you need to know whether you are entitled to this benefit, where and how to apply and what documents to prepare. This allowance is great to get some extra cash.
