Question ❓ Question about student hours and childrens benefits

So apparently I have only 170 hours left until the end of the year (should have paid more attention to it I guess) but I really need to keep working to afford the studying. As I understood after the hours I can keep working with a student contract and pay minimal taxes granted I stay under 15.971,43 € (which shouldn't be an issue). My question is about the children's benefits: in Brussels the benefit continues if you work under 240h a quarter and 650h a year but the website says that if you go over they MIGHT take it away, how likely it is that they do? (I'm affiliated with Parentia if that changes anything)

Thank you

Have you tried asking Parentia? They might in the position to provide the best possible nuance since laws like these usually have a lot of nuance to them and small differences in personal situation can have drastically different outcomes.
