A. All the child maintenance collected by the CSA will be paid in full to the parent with care. Parents with care who receive income-related benefits must declare any maintenance they receive to Jobcentre Plus. Since 27 October 2008, all parents with care who receive income-related benefits are allowed to keep up to £20 per week of child maintenance in addition to their benefits.
