- The co-payment for insurance-covered medical costs is subsidized
The city subsidizes the co-payment for insurance-covered medical costs of parents and children in single-parent households. For households paying resident tax, 20 of the 30 percentage points are subsidized, so the co-payment is 10%; for tax-exempt households, the full 30% is subsidized, so there is no co-payment. There is an income limit.
Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
Who is eligible
Mothers, fathers or guardians raising a child in a single-parent situation due to the parents' divorce, death, etc., and the children (income limit applies)
Notes
The income limit was raised in line with the increase in the Child Rearing Allowance limits.
