• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseekers Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under part 5 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit

• Working Tax Credit run-on (which is paid 4 weeks after they stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit

EYPP non-financial criteria

In addition, settings will also receive EYPP for children who are currently being looked after by a local authority in England and Wales or:

• Have left care in England and Wales through:
  • an adoption
  • a special guardianship order
  • a child arrangement order

EYPP is paid at a small hourly rate. It is only paid for ‘universal’ (first 15) hours and is not paid for the ‘extended’ (additional 15) hours.

To enable your child’s early years setting to claim EYPP, you must tick the EYPP box on your Parent Declaration Form.
