I am turning 18: what do I need to arrange and what am I entitled to?

Have you been thinking about your future?

• What do you want to achieve?
• What do you want to learn?
• What do you want to know?
• What do you want to arrange?

We have prepared the future plan document to help you think about this. You can also find out what you are entitled to via the Voorzieningenwijzer on the website Datgeldtvoormij.

It is also important for parents to know that certain responsibilities are shifting to their child. From then on, the 18-year-old is financially independent. However, parents do remain responsible for accommodation, clothing, food, education and medical assistance until their child is 21.

You will find more information at the Nibud website.
