Parents and guardians need to update their online account before midnight on May 31.

Some parents and guardians must update their personal details on GOV.UK before midnight on Friday, May 31 to ensure Child Benefit payments will continue in June. This will affect anyone with a child aged 16 who had been in further education or training, but has now left, and those who have reached that age, but are now continuing their full-time education.

There is no limit to how many children families can claim for. Parents will receive £102.40 every four weeks for the first or only child and £67.80 every 4 weeks for each additional child. You did not update your details on time Your Child Benefit will stop automatically on May 31 after the child turns 16, unless you let HMRC know your child is continuing in full-time education or training or they are joining the armed forces or a government-sponsored careers programme.

If you fail to update your details in time, you may still be able to claim Child Benefit, but your payments might be late.
