One-off Emergency Aid of EUR 150 per Dependent Child (AADE, 2026)

A one-off 2026 payment from the state budget: 150 euros for each dependent child, for parents who are Greek tax residents. Total family income limit (taxable or exempt, actual or deemed): 40,000 euros for married couples or civil partners with one child, 39,000 euros for single-parent families with one child, plus 5,000 euros for each additional dependent child. AADE calculated and paid it automatically, with no application, based on the 2024 tax return, to the IBAN declared to AADE; the main payment was made on 30 June 2026 and for children born from 1/1/2025 to 31/7/2026 payment could be made by 31 August 2026. With a joint tax return the amount goes to the main filer; with separate returns, or when both parents declare the child, it is split 50-50 (75 euros each for one child). It is tax-free and cannot be seized, is not offset against debts and does not count towards the income limits of other benefits. It was a one-off measure for 2026 only.
