Children who live in the UK, but whose parent works in another EU country, may be eligible for the CTF.
Under European Union Regulation 1408/71, which governs the co-ordination of social security for migrant workers within the EU, Child Benefit is normally payable by the country in which the parent works. So children living in the UK with Child Benefit paid by another EU country in which a parent works may be entitled to a CTF account if they were born on or after 1 September 2002. However, because they do not receive Child Benefit in the UK, they may have to apply for a CTF voucher from the CTF Office.
