About 30% of Monday payments, according to the authority, were not deposited into the recipients’ accounts. The HMRC child benefits were not received by about half a million people. The Child Benefit is awarded to those who are responsible for raising a child under the ages of 16 and 20 while they are enrolled in an authorized program of study and training.
When will you receive your upcoming HMRC Child benefits?
The child benefit monthly payment was typically paid out by the HMRC on the first and second Mondays of each month, every four weeks. However, HMRC postponed the payment that was supposed to be made on Monday, June 3, 2024.
The inconvenience caused by the payment delay has been apologized for by the HMRC to the affected UK individuals.
The administration has verified that on June 5, 2024, a Wednesday, the recipients can anticipate their delayed payment in their building society or tier bank accounts.
Approximately 500,000 people will get the payout on June 5, 2024, according to an HMRC representative. By completing the HMRC complaints form, beneficiaries who experienced any direct financial loss as a result of the delay can request recompense.
