MC 1: What this subpart does
or “This subpart explains Working for Families tax credits and how they're calculated”
You could also call this:

“Eligibility requirements for family scheme benefits”

You can get entitlements under the family scheme if you meet certain conditions. These conditions need to be met for a specific period of time, called an entitlement period. To qualify, you need to meet two sets of rules. First, you must meet the qualifying criteria that are explained in sections MC 3 to MC 7. Second, you have to meet the continuing requirements that are described in section MC 8. Both of these sets of rules are important for you to get the entitlements.
