Regulation 54 Care provided for relevant other child by a local authorityI1

Where a child other than a qualifying child is cared for in part or in full by a local authority, and the non-resident parent or the non-resident parent's partner receives child benefit for that child, the child is a relevant other child for the purposes of Schedule 1 to the 1991 Act.

For the purposes of paragraph (1), where a person has made an election under section 13A(1) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (election not to receive child benefit) for payments of child benefit not to be made, that person is to be treated as receiving child benefit.
