Hello,
I moved to Belgium months ago (have my Belgian ID) but work in the Netherlands where I pay taxes and also hold my health insurance. Now we are planning on having family and would please need help to understand:
1. Do I need to de-register my healthinsurance in the Netherlands and register in Belgium if I want the social services to help me with home assistance prior to the birth of the child?
2. Can I get social benefits for my children when born if I continue to work in the Netherlands? If so, what would I need to do?
Thank you in advance. We need to start planning in advance and I am a bit lost in this sense.
Regards, Txikibella.

Best thing to do is contact the Nederlands-Belgisch centrum to get professional and up to date advice. I'm a border worker but in the other direction. The advice is not free, you will need to become a member but it's definitely worth it for the peace of mind.

When you first join you meet with one of their advisors and they can give you advise on all cross-borders issues like health cover, taxes, etc ... I was going crazy with all the bureaucracy trying to work it all out myself and was relieved to find somebody who could explain it all.
