Child Benefit payments stop on 31 August after a child turns 16, but parents can extend their claim if their child is continuing in approved education or training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is easy for parents to update their Child Benefit record. They can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/child-benefit-16-19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online service<\/a> on GOV.UK or the HMRC app to tell HMRC about their child\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HMRC recently wrote to parents about extending their Child Benefit claim. The letter included a QR code which, when scanned, directs them to GOV.UK to update their claim online. Any changes will be applied to their Child Benefit claim immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Child Benefit will continue to be paid for children who are studying full time which can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A levels or similar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>International Baccalaureate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>home education &#8211; if it started before their child turned 16 or after 16 if they have special needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>T levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NVQs, up to level 3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>traineeships in England<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Child Benefit will also continue for children studying on one of these unpaid approved training courses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>in Wales: Foundation Apprenticeships, Traineeships or the Jobs Growth Wales+ scheme<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>in Northern Ireland: PEACE IV Children and Young People 2.1, Training for Success or Skills for Life and Work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC\u2019s Director General for Customer Services, said: \u201cChild Benefit can provide financial support to families, so make sure you don\u2019t miss out if your teenager is still eligible. You can quickly and easily extend your claim online or via the HMRC app, just search \u2018Child Benefit when your child turns 16\u2019 on GOV.UK.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents will need a Government Gateway user ID and password to use HMRC\u2019s online services. They will need their National Insurance number or postcode and 2 forms of ID to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/personal-tax-account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">register on GOV.UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government is offering help for households.
