Valencia Raises Childbirth Allowance to €400 per Child to Support Families and Encourage Births

The Valencia municipality announced an increase in the childbirth allowance for children in the city, raising it to €400 per child for 2026. This step aims to support families, encourage higher birth rates, and improve the balance between work and family life.

According to the statement issued by the local council, the allowance is granted for each newborn, adopted child, or child under alternative care who is under 18 years old, provided they have continuously resided in Valencia for four years or more.

Municipal officials indicated that the financial aid is paid once per child and includes all eligible families, provided they register within the specified application period, which extends up to two months after the date of birth, adoption, or start of alternative care. The amount will be transferred directly to the family’s bank account.

The municipality also emphasized that the initiative is compatible with any other support provided by government agencies or official institutions, allowing families to benefit from multiple aid programs if they meet the eligibility criteria.
