Understanding Child Allowance Types

You use child allowance types to specify the approved allowance amount for each child in a household. Each child is assigned a number based on birth order, with 1 being the oldest, 2 the second oldest and so on. Using this information, the system populates the base child allowance amount for an eligible child on the Child Allowance Administration page.

In single-child household, the child is always assigned the child number of 1; in a household with multiple children, child number 1 is assigned to the oldest child, 2 to the second oldest, and so on. The system delivers a child allowance type named Normal Child.
