By the end of 2025, child benefits were being paid for 291,292 children living outside Germany, including 112,384 whose parents were Polish. Transfers to foreign bank accounts rose to around €528 million—about 0.95% of the €55.32 billion paid in total. Under EU rules, Germany must pay family benefits in certain cases even when a family lives in another member state; moreover, a transfer to a foreign account alone does not establish where a child lives or prove fraud. The figures prompted political calls to restrict eligibility and tighten oversight. Meanwhile, an investigation in Duisburg uncovered 59 suspected cases involving children registered without actually living there; the future payments avoided were estimated at around €1.2 million. However, data from North Rhine-Westphalia showed that two-thirds of recorded benefit-fraud cases involved Germans, while suspects from Romania and Bulgaria accounted for just 5.6%—amid warnings against generalizing allegations to entire communities.
