Can I receive child benefits if I take in a foster child?
If you take in a foster child for a short or long period, you will receive the full child benefits for your foster child every month, as long as an official agency decides that the child stays in your foster family.
Your foster child also counts towards determining your family size, which can affect the amount of your child benefits.
