For schoolchildren, these include, for example, excursions and school trips, lunch at school and daycare centers, school tickets and learning support; for children and young people under 18, they also receive support for membership in a sports club and music lessons.
With the exception of the "learning support" benefit, no separate application is required for these benefits. Education and participation benefits are automatically applied for with every application for unemployment benefit II.
