Child benefit eligibility for adult children temporarily suspending vocational training for childcare of own offspring

The Federal Constitutional Court declined to accept the constitutional complaint for decision, thereby upholding the lower courts' denial of child benefit and leaving the administrative and financial rulings in force. The dispute concerned whether the applicant was entitled to monthly child benefit for a full-time employed, married, and fully self-supporting adult daughter, following the daughter's temporary interruption of her vocational training to care for her own children. The decisive legal basis was the interpretation of German social security law regarding the eligibility conditions for child benefit, specifically determining that a suspension of vocational training for childcare purposes does not preserve the status of a "child" under the applicable statutes for benefit entitlement, rendering the complaint inadmissible without further substantiation of a fundamental rights violation.
