Who is Eligible for the working parent entitlements?

Who is eligible for the working parent entitlements?

 

Working parents - where both parents or a sole parent in one parent family are working and earn between the equivalent of 16 hours at the national minimum wage and less than £100,000 per year. You can read more about national minimum wage and national living wage on GOV.UK. 

You may still be eligible if you are a family where one parent is working, and the second parent is not working:

  • but receiving an eligible carer benefit,
  • or is unable to work and receiving an eligible disability benefit.
