Árvaellátások

Árvaellátások are financial benefits provided in Hungary to support children who have lost one or both parents. These benefits aim to provide a degree of economic security for orphaned minors and young adults. The system is administered by the Hungarian state.

There are generally two main types of árvaellátások: orphaned pension (árvaellátás) and child care fee (gyermekgondozási díj) which may be relevant if the surviving parent is caring for an orphaned child. The orphaned pension is typically a monthly payment based on the deceased parent's earnings history and insurance contributions. Eligibility criteria, including the age of the child and the duration of the deceased parent's contributions, are specific and regulated by law. The amount of the pension is usually a percentage of the deceased parent's average earnings.

In addition to orphaned pensions, there might be other forms of state support or supplementary benefits available to families facing such circumstances. These can include social welfare assistance or specific programs designed to help with education and living costs. The exact details and eligibility requirements for árvaellátások can change, so it is advisable to consult official Hungarian government sources or social security institutions for the most current and precise information.
