Cyprus child benefit scheme reforms

Overview

President Nikos Christodoulides announced reforms to the Child Benefit scheme in Cyprus, intended to increase benefit amounts and expand eligibility. The changes aim to include more middle-class households by setting new income thresholds for families with three or four dependent children. For families with five or more children, no income criteria will apply beginning in 2025.

The reform is expected to benefit roughly 17,000 additional families and over 23,000 children. Furthermore, the government is extending tuition subsidies for children up to 4 years and 4 months old, a measure projected to assist approximately 2,000 families.
