Child benefit to be frozen
Child benefit, the quarterly payment made to all children, will not go up in line with inflation this year, the Telegraaf reports on Wednesday.
The paper says family minister André Rouvoet will discuss his decision to freeze the benefit with the rest of the cabinet on Friday.
The benefit for children under the age of six is now €194.99 every three months.
