The high school graduation period not only affects families but also brings administrative tasks for employers. Upon the completion of secondary education, eligibility for the family allowance ceases, which also impacts the application of the family tax benefit\u2014this must be handled correctly during payroll processing.<\/p>\n

What Happens to the Benefits After Graduation?<\/h3>\n

According to the Personal Income Tax Act (Act CXVII of 1995), eligibility for the family tax benefit ends when the family allowance is no longer provided for the child\u2014this typically lasts until the end of the month following graduation.<\/p>\n

During payroll processing, it is therefore particularly important to accurately track the eligibility period and update declarations accordingly. If the child starts higher education in September, eligibility reopens; however, for the interim period (July\u2013August), the benefit cannot be claimed. During these months, the benefit must be suspended in payroll processing, and it can only be reapplied once the necessary documentation is received.<\/p>\n
