finleysmaid Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Random! I have a set of parents who are separated , i didn't have dad on any documents but have recently added him. Dad has a 30 hour code for the child, but she does not live with him. Mum does not have a 30 hour code child does live with her. Can Mum use the 30 hour code allocated to Dad for his daughter?

louby loo Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Didn't want to read and run - but I haven't a clue! At a guess I'd say no as doesn't it need to be both parents working? ..........unless a single parent ... and now I can see this is a never ending circle! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathrynlovesrecycling Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Per government info here, "You will not be eligible if your child does not usually live with you." so it looks like unfortunately they won't be able to use the 30 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie_Brighton Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 We had one who spent half time with each parent and was able to use 30 hours funding from dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how this can be monitored really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
