Questioner

I am 19 years old and can no longer pay my health insurance because I stopped school in July 2014. and unfortunately can not find a job. my parents could not pay for further education and with level 2 you are finished according to the law, now my savings are gone,, and according to the municipality I am not entitled to benefits because I still live at home and my parents are supposed to support me until I am 21, only my parents can not pay it,, how does this work???

Lawyer

Parents do indeed have a maintenance obligation towards their children, until they are 21. This follows from the first paragraph of article 395a of Book 1 of the Civil Code. Because of this maintenance obligation, a child cannot claim, for example, social assistance benefits until the age of 21. It is possible that the parents can.
