Child Benefit - date of next payment

Child Benefit payments are usually paid every four weeks and in some cases weekly. If you are already getting Child Benefit every four weeks you can check when your next payment is due by putting the last two numbers of your Child Benefit number into the box below. You can find your Child Benefit number on any forms or letters that we send you.

Get your next payment date

Enter the last 2 numbers of your Child Benefit number, and then press submit.

For example, for Child Benefit number 61264567CU, you would enter 67.

You will get a message on your screen showing the date of your next payment.

Bank holiday payments

If your payment is due to be paid on a bank holiday you will get this a little earlier than normal, usually the last working day before the bank holiday. Payments due after the bank holiday will be paid on your normal Monday or Tuesday pay date and not earlier.
