The Ministry for Social Solidarity has urged families who do not receive children's allowance to do so as soon as possible.

In terms of measures announced in the budget, all families having children aged under 16 are eligible for the allowance, independently of their income.

The ministry said applications will continue to be received in the coming weeks and months, but it is urging parents to apply as soon as possible.

Application forms can be collected from the Social Security Department and district offices. They can also be downloaded from www.mfss.gov.mt
