  "textContent": "\n\n\nScottish households receiving Scottish Child Payment have been reassured £112.80 support payments will arrive as scheduled on Monday, June 15, despite Scotland marking a new public holiday.\n\nSocial Security Scotland confirmed the additional bank holiday will not affect benefit payments.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nA spokesman for the agency told The Express: \"Just to confirm that Monday, 15 June, is a Scottish Public Holiday and doesn't affect payments.\"\n\nThe clarification will come as welcome news for families concerned the one-off public holiday could disrupt scheduled support payments.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nScottish Child Payment dates are based on when claimants originally applied for the benefit, meaning households due to receive payments on Monday will still see the money arrive in their accounts as normal.\n\nThe additional public holiday was introduced to mark Scotland’s opening World Cup match against Haiti.\n\nFirst Minister John Swinney proposed the celebratory day off earlier this year to allow people, businesses and organisations across Scotland to mark the occasion.\n\nThe move later received formal approval from King Charles through a Royal Proclamation issued in February.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe occasion carries particular significance for Scottish football supporters because Scotland’s men’s team has not appeared at a World Cup finals tournament since 1998.\n\nWhile the bank holiday will give many workers an extended weekend, scheduled Social Security Scotland payments will continue without disruption.\n\nScottish Child Payment is designed to provide additional financial support to lower-income households with children under the age of 16.\n\nThe benefit is worth £28.20 per week for each eligible child.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Rachel Reeves to fund soaring benefits bill with student loan interest rates, Labour MP admits\n  * BP relegates Net Zero division as it pivots back towards oil and gas\n  * TV licence alert: Netflix and Disney+ refuse to 'play a role in enforcing' BBC fee\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nBecause the payment is issued every four weeks, households receive £112.80 per child during each payment cycle.\n\nThere is no limit on the number of eligible children within a household, meaning larger families may receive substantially higher payments.\n\nTo qualify, claimants must live in Scotland and be responsible for at least one child under 16 while either they or their partner receives a qualifying benefit.\n\nEligible benefits include Universal Credit, Income Support, Pension Credit, income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance and income-related Employment and Support Allowance.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSeveral other benefits administered by Social Security Scotland will also continue to be paid on their normal dates despite the public holiday.\n\nAdult Disability Payment, Carer Support Payment, Child Disability Payment, Pension Age Disability Payment and Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance will all remain unaffected.\n\nSocial Security Scotland typically moves benefit payment dates forward when they fall on standard UK bank holidays such as Christmas or the August bank holiday.\n\nUnder the agency’s usual arrangements, payments due during those periods are often issued earlier in the week.\n\nHowever, the new World Cup celebration holiday appears to be operating differently, with payments continuing on their originally scheduled dates rather than being brought forward.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
