I think this is being a bit harsh. I work but also have two kids and receive child benefit for both.
If I am discussing it with (my wife for example) I am likely to say "We will get our payment on friday" and "now you have dropped a few hours we should be able to get more money".

Not that different from raise and paycheck is it?
