EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation).

These Regulations amend the current arrangements for payment of Child Benefit to provide that, in cases of shared custody of a qualified child who resides on a part-time basis with each of his/her parents, payment will be made to the parent with whom the child resides for the greater part.

The Regulations further provide for the extension of the period for back-dating Child Benefit claims to six months.
