57The fact that, under the national legislation at issue in the main proceedings, entitlement to the family allowance at issue in those proceedings is conferred directly on the child residing in Luxembourg whereas, for non-resident workers, the entitlement is conferred on the worker, for the members of that person’s family as defined by that legislation, is irrelevant for that purpose. It is apparent from the case-law that family benefits, by their very nature, cannot be regarded as payable to an individual in isolation from his or her family circumstances (see, to that effect, judgments of 5 February 2002, Humer, C‑255/99, EU:C:2002:73, paragraph 50, and of 26 November 2009, Slanina, C‑363/08, EU:C:2009:732, paragraph 31).
