Child Benefit
(asked on 20th June 2018) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of progress on delivering the future of child benefit transformation project, and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 25th June 2018
The Future of Child Benefit Programme will migrate current Child Benefit customer data from the existing DWP IT System across to a more modern, stable and flexible IT system within HMRC. The Programme is currently on track for delivery in late 2019.
It will enable HMRC to maintain existing claims and payments, and process new claims for Child Benefit within the HMRC IT estate.
