Question:

328 Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Social Protection If she has received an RP50 within the past year in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; if the redundancy is paid directly to the former employee in all cases; if not, the arrangements in place to ensure that the eligible recipient receives the statutory redundancy; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9199/12]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Joan Burton)

The time limit for making a claim for a redundancy lump sum payment is 52 weeks after the date of termination of employment. A redundancy lump sum claim in respect of the person concerned was manually submitted on 30 November 2011. The date of termination of employment detailed on the application form is 5 July 2009 and therefore the time limit for making a claim for a redundancy lump payment has expired.
