Social Medical Indication for Childcare
What is a Social Medical Indication (SMI)?
Social Medical Indication for childcare is a scheme for parents who need childcare due to urgent medical and/or social reasons. Professionals involved with the family can confirm that there is a high need for childcare and support the application.
Condition: you are (temporarily) not entitled to childcare allowance from the Tax and Customs Administration.
How does it work?
You are using this scheme because you are temporarily unable to care for your child. This is for social and/or medical reasons. You expect to be able to care for your child again (with or without assistance) once this period is over.
You can make use of this arrangement for a maximum of 6 months. In very rare cases, an extension may be possible. Your child must be between 0 and 12 years old or not yet have started secondary education.
What should I do?
