	uin	173107
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2023 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to allow separated parents to split or alternate Child Benefit or other welfare payments between themselves.</p><p>Two people cannot claim Child Benefit, Child Tax Credit, the Universal Credit (UC) Child Element or UC childcare costs for the same child.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC encourages parents to decide between themselves who should receive Child Benefit or Child Tax Credit. However, where they cannot reach an agreement, HMRC is able to decide who is entitled. Likewise, where a child or qualifying young person lives with two or more people who are not a couple, only the household who has the main responsibility for the child or qualifying young person is eligible to claim the UC Child Element or UC childcare costs.</p><p> </p><p>The Government believes that it is in the interests of the child to direct support to the household or individual with the main responsibility for the child. If welfare payments were to be split or alternated between separated parents, it would not always clear how benefits should be apportioned between them, as shared care arrangements tend to vary over time.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government recognises that both parents, whether together or separated, have a responsibility to support their children. The Child Maintenance Service is available to encourage parents to make their own child maintenance arrangements or support them through the statutory scheme.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 03/04/2023 14:15:54 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
