We have a similar scheme here in Australia which has been in effect for a number of years now. Essentially lower income earners, around the same figures you're being quoted there although the top end is about $90k for families here. The general idea is that it's paid to families with children. What you get is $600/child at the end of the financial year.

We don't qualify for it because Dazza earns over the threshold, but when I was a single parent it really helped a lot. It made a world of difference to Christmas for the kids that's for sure.
