As in Child Benefit?
Have a look here, it tells you what the qualifying criteria are for child benefit and if you qualify if you live abroad.
Child Benefit - do you qualify

Why lose out??? In the UK you don't get a tax concession allowing you a Renbtal and Food allowance like you do here if on a 457. Some things here you lose out on, but some things you win on, all evens out and anyway, its not for long is it!

I've met people who have been here for years and have kept claiming UK child benefit, if that is what it's called these days.

There are a lot of people around that seem to think other tax payers should fund their lifestyle even when they are in work.

You should point out that not all employers offer that tax incentive.
