Yes, being unemployed does not usually stop you claiming Child Benefit if you are responsible for a child under 16, or under 20 in approved education or training. The benefit is not based on whether you have a job, although a tax charge may apply if you or your partner has income above the relevant threshold. Claiming can also provide National Insurance credits, which may help protect your State Pension record if you are not working. Check the latest rules and apply through the official GOV.UK Child Benefit service.
