Is Zakah necessary on child benefit payments ?

Fatawa Question

Is Zakah necessary on child benefit payments ? I wanted to know who is considered the owner of the child benefit given by the government. Is it the child or the mother ? I believe that if it is the mother then Zakah will be compulsory.
