Not everybody will get the support
Many families could be at risk of missing out on government cash to ease the growing cost of living due to five loopholes. Millions of households in receipt of certain means-tested benefits will be entitled to a £650 payment, with the first instalment of £326 landing in their accounts between July 14 and the end of July.
"But I can assure honourable members that the second payment, the regulations around that, will take place after recess." Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey had earlier said the Social Security Bill, drafted to authorise the payments, will "boost the budgets of millions of stretched families".
2) Your benefits can't be contribution-based Anyone on contribution-based benefits, where payouts depend on National Insurance contributions over a set period, won't receive the £650. This means not all claims for Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance will be accepted for the payment.
Those who claim tax credits will receive their first payment slightly later. The first instalment is not expected to be processed until the autumn, with a second payment to follow in winter - although no exact date has been confirmed yet. The deadline for applying for the second payment has not yet been set - so this means thousands of Brits who start a claim at a later date might end up being eligible for the final instalment. The Government has not said when it will release the criteria for the second payment.
