It facilitates administrative procedures by providing all types of forms in collaboration with the Luxembourg authorities concerned.
Thanks to a strengthened collaboration with the Children’s Future Fund and with Cedies, the Higher Education information centre, the Maison du Luxembourg supports cross-border workers with applications for family benefits and scholarships. or studies, supplying appropriate folders and forms. They also provide support for taxes with Luxembourg Inland Revenue forms and lists of tax experts to help with tax declarations.
The Maison du Luxembourg can also support cross-border workers in dealings with the National Health Fund and the National Pension Insurance Fund.

The organisation provides contacts and documentation for trade unions (OGBL and LCGB) or cross-border associations like AFAL, and handled 18,550 cases in 2018.
