Parents and guardians could receive their Child Benefit payment for November earlier than usual.
The stipend is usually paid on the first Tuesday of every month. But the upcoming Halloween bank holiday could see people receiving the benefit a few days early as the first Tuesday would fall on November 1.
Therefore recipients could get the payment as early as Friday, October 29 or Saturday, October 30, RSVP Live reports. Next month, parents will receive a one-off extra child benefit payment of €140 per child on top of their usual monthly payments.
