To validate the data, it is ensured that paid child and adolescent benefits and child allowances are within the applicable rates or that they can be explained by re-adjustments due to errors in previous payments. During the data processing, continuous counts are formed, which are compared with similar counts for the previous year. In case of systematic errors, new data is supplied.
