Elterngeld Help answers your questions right in the chat, in English or German.\n\nWhat you can ask:\n\u2022 How much will I get? Your monthly Basiselterngeld and ElterngeldPlus, worked out with the same calculator as elterngeldhelp.com. If something that changes the amount is missing, the assistant asks you first.\n\u2022 Can I get Elterngeld? For example with a residence permit, as a freelancer or with a high income.\n\u2022 When do I have to apply? The latest date before you start losing months.\n\u2022 How do we split the months? A plan for one or both parents, also with part-time work.\n\u2022 Anything else about the rules, answered from reviewed help articles with links to the law.\n\nWhen you are ready to apply, the assistant walks you through the steps and documents and links to elterngeldhelp.com, where you can prepare your application.\n\nNo login. You never need to share your name, address, tax ID or bank details, and Elterngeld Help does not store your answers.\n\nAll amounts are estimates. Your Elterngeldstelle sets the final amount. Elterngeld Help is independent and not affiliated with any government agency.",
