Children - Late submission of claim

If you did not submit the claim for a child allowance in time, the National Insurance Institute is entitled to approve your claim for a retroactive period of time that may not exceed one year prior to submission of the claim.

If the child was born after July 1, 2003, and was not registered in the population registry within 30 days of the date of the birth, the allowance will be paid retroactively for up to 3 months only.
