Legal Questions Childcare Allowance

Questioner

I have a contract with a childcare agency. This one filed for suspension of payment today. I am worried about my childcare allowance that is being deposited into their account. They work according to a cashier function; they pay the childminder, I pay the bill of our daycare center and the excess childcare allowance is then transferred to me. What is the legal situation? Can I just change my account number with the tax authorities? And how quickly can I get out of this contract?

Yes, you can change this at the tax office because you are the one who receives the childcare allowance. So you decide to which account this is transferred by the tax office. You can get more information via the tax telephone on how exactly you can change this.
