Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 October 2013
305. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if a PRSI refund for 2006-2007 will be arranged in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare who should not have paid PRSI for this year as they were over 66 years of age; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41960/13]
View answerWith effect from 1 January 2010 an application for the return of PRSI contributions was limited to within four years of the last day of the contribution year in respect of which the contributions concerned were paid. The legislation governing this four year limitation is contained in section 38A to the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005.
As the application on behalf of the person referred to by the Deputy was received in December 2012, a refund was given for the previous four years in accordance with the above legislation.
