Eligibility
Three and four year olds are eligible for EYPP on their child universal 15 hours entitlement if their family gets one of the following:
- Income Support
- income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- the guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit (provided they are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
- Working Tax Credit run-on, which is paid for 4 weeks after they stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit

If a child qualifies for EYPP under more than one set of criteria they will only attract the funding once.
