Launch of new easier Wraparound Childcare registration and claims process.
It's now even easier for Service families to register and claim for Wraparound Childcare (WAC).
Following your feedback, we have simplified the process to make it easier for you and your family. WAC is now fully integrated in JPA and brings registration, claims calculations, and claims all together in one place – in the 'My child allowances: WAC' section.
Could your family save £3,400 a year, per child?
Over 10,500 Service children's childcare is currently being supported by Wraparound Childcare funding.
If you have a child aged between 4 and 11 (4-16 if in receipt of disability benefits), on average, your family could save up to £3,400 per child, per year on before and after school care.
If you think your family may be eligible, find out more about WAC by visiting the Discover My Benefits Army, RAF, Navy or Marines webpage. You may also see if your eligible by going on the Defence Childcare Information page on defnet & Defence Connect.
