The information on this page applies to your family if:
Maternity allowance, special maternity allowance and parental allowance can no longer be applied for. Paternity allowance can still be applied for.
Yes, you can. Graduation is one situation when the allowance can be determined on the basis of the incomes for a 3-month period. Graduation means that you take a degree or qualification, e.g. a vocational qualification or a Bachelor’s or Master’s level degree of higher education.

You can apply for an allowance and report the incomes for a 3-month period if you have been absent from the labour market due to child care.

A further requirement is that the income for 3 months multiplied by 4 is at least 20% higher than the annual income determined on the basis of the 12-month reference period.
Sick leaves do not affect the situation and they also do not change the reference period. If some exceptional circumstances occur during the reference period, the annual income is always calculated on the basis of the income for the last 3 calendar months of the 12-month reference period. Any sickness allowance or pay you may have received during the sick leave will be taken into account in the annual income.
Earnings are taken into account in the annual income according to the payment date. If the payment date falls in the 12-month reference period, the earnings are taken into account in the annual income.
