In addition, the German Chancellor and the heads of the state governments agreed, that the entitlement to children's illness benefits for 2021 will be extended due to the Corona pandemic. There are ten additional days per parent, i.e. 20 days per child for each parent, and 20 additional days for single parents (i.e. in total 40 days per child for single parents). Entitlement to these days also applies in the event of a Corona-related closure of the daycare center or school. You will find more information here.
