Vilka kan få barnbidrag i Sverige enligt reglerna år 2026?
Who can receive child allowance in Sweden under the 2026 rules?
Correct answer: Guardians who meet the insurance conditions
Guardians of children under 16 can receive child allowance if the other conditions are met. In 2026, both child and guardian must, among other things, be insured in Sweden; citizenship alone does not decide eligibility.
