I received family allowances but I paid them to the other parent who lives with the child. The family allowance compensation fund has told me that I was not entitled to these benefits and has asked me to pay them back. What should I do?

As a general rule, all allowances that have been wrongfully received must be paid back. On request, your and the other parent’s family allowance compensation funds can agree that the family allowance compensation fund of the latter directly pays back the family allowances owed for the given period to your family allowance compensation fund . Please note that this requires the consent of both parents.
