In Work Credit

In Work Credit is a fixed tax free payment of £40 per week (£60 per week in London) for parents bringing up children alone. It is payable for up to 52 weeks on top of your earnings, when you start work of at least 16 hours per week.

Can I get it?

Are you:

  • Bringing up children on your own
  • Starting work of at least 16 hours a week
  • Expect that work to last 5 weeks or more

And have you:

If you have answered YES to all, you may get In Work Credit - but you need to claim for it before you start work.

What else should I know?

You must claim before you start work. The claim form for In Work Credit must be completed and returned to your nearest Jobcentre Plus office within 5 weeks of starting work.

What do I need to do next?
