Garantia para a Infância

Garantia para a Infância (child guarantee)
A top-up from Segurança Social for families on a very low income: together with the abono de família benefit for a child under 18, it brings the total to as much as €127.33 a month (2026). It is paid for children in the first abono bracket; no application is needed, as social security awards it automatically.
Where you come across it. Child benefit for low-income families.
If you have not been awarded abono de família, there is no top-up: first you need to apply for the benefit itself.
