In June, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will distribute a significant £359 payment to eligible Child Benefit claimants due to the presence of five Mondays in the month. Typically, Child Benefit is paid every four weeks, amounting to £27.05 per week for the eldest or only child and £17.90 for each additional child. This means families could receive £216 for their first child and £143 for a second child, totaling £359. HMRC advises that while Child Benefit payments usually follow a four-week schedule, specific circumstances, such as public holidays, can lead to two payments being made in a single month. Claimants should confirm payment dates with their banks, especially if a payment is due on a bank holiday. Additionally, claiming Child Benefit grants National Insurance credits, which are beneficial for State Pension calculations. Families earning over £60,000 may be subject to the High Income Child Benefit tax charge.
