Child Benefit is usually paid every four weeks either on a Monday or a Tuesday, however, there is a bank holiday next week which may affect some payments.When a benefits payment falls on a bank holiday, it is usually paid on a different date.This is usually the first working day before it would be paid because normal financial transactions will be suspended.Monday, May 25 is the next bank holiday - which means anyone due to receive a Child Benefit payment on that date will receive it on Friday, May 22.Some people can get Child Benefit paid weekly if they are a single parent or if their partner is getting certain benefits, such as Income Support.Depending on your bank, funds are available shortly after midnight on the day they are due,
