answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2018 answer text <p>In Universal Credit, couples make a joint claim to Universal Credit. Both are responsible for servicing the claim, and both benefit from the claim. The couple nominates a bank account for their Universal Credit to be paid into, and this can be a joint account or an individual account. The Government believes that people within a household are best placed to make the money management choices that are most appropriate for them and a single payment enables them to do that.</p><p> </p><p>A single payment of Universal Credit also enables people in a household clearly to see the effect of their decisions about work on their total household income.</p><p> </p><p>In some circumstances, payment of Universal Credit can be divided between two members of the household. This is an Alternative Payment Arrangement known as a Split Payment. Split payments can be made where there is financial mismanagement, domestic abuse, or the inability to budget for the household’s basic day to day needs.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 02/05/2018 10:40:10 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
