Specify child allowance amounts that eligible children in a household can collect each month. |
You use child allowance types to specify the approved allowance amount for each child in a household. Each child is assigned a number based on birth order, with 1 being the oldest, 2 the second oldest and so on. Using this information, the system populates the base child allowance amount for an eligible child on the Child Allowance Administration page.
Use the Child Allowance Type page (GPS_CHILD_ALLOW) to specify child allowance amounts that eligible children in a household can collect each month.
