Definicja counted child

Child for whom the employee receives no child allowance. This child is, however, still counted in the number of children when the child allowance is calculated.

Since the child allowance amount is dependent on the age of a child within the family, the inclusion of the counted child may have effect on the child allowance for younger children. (The child allowance for the counted child is received by another party, usually the other parent).

In the Public Sector in Germany, the inclusion of the counted child affects the child elements and the increase amounts for family-related bonuses paid for younger children.
