Child Benefit is a government financial assistance programme for those responsible for children under 16 or under 20 if they’re in approved education or training. Here’s what you can expect:
Note: You should still claim Child Benefit to obtain these advantages even if you opt out of receiving the payments.
Always report any changes to the Child Benefit Office. This can include changes in family composition, residence, or your child’s educational status.
Payments are typically made every four weeks on a Monday or Tuesday. However, single parents or those receiving certain other benefits may opt for weekly payments.
If you or your partner’s adjusted net income exceeds £50,000, you’ll be subjected to the High Income Child Benefit Charge. Use the Child Benefit tax calculator to estimate the charge. Those earning £60,000 or above may have no extra money from Child Benefit.
Generally, you qualify if you’re responsible for a child under 16 and live in the UK. You can claim Child Benefit 48 hours after the birth is registered, or they come to live with you. The benefit can be backdated for up to three months.
