Sure Start Maternity Grants
What is it?
Sure Start Maternity Grants are one-off payments to help with the cost of things for a new baby. This money does not have to be paid back, and paid for from the Social Fund.
You can apply for a Sure Start Maternity Grant if you, or your partner are getting one of the following:
- Income Support.
- Income-based Job Seekers Allowance.
- Working Families Tax Credit.
You can claim your grant from 11 weeks before the baby is due, until three months after the baby is born.
How much will I get?
The amount that you will be entitled to claim is around £500.00. This amount is only used as a guide, and your individual circumstance will affect how much you can claim.
How do I apply?
You can claim by completing a form (SF100 Sure Start).
Where do I apply?
You can pick up the SF100 Sure Start form from your local Jobcentre plus office.
Alternatively, you can obtain the form (SF100 Sure Start) from the Department of Work and Pensions website by logging on to www.dwp.gov.uk, or by clicking your mouse on the link below.
