Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 July 2015
96. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the reason child benefit has not been paid to a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28124/15]
View answerChild benefit is payable in respect of children who are ordinarily resident in the state.
Child benefit was in payment in respect of the person concerned up to May 2015, when payment was suspended as she failed to return a continuing eligibility certificate. The continuing eligibility certificate issued to her on 24 March 2015 and a reminder certificate was issued on 5 May 2015. She has not been returned either form to the section to date.
A further certificate was sent to her on 7 July 2015. On receipt of the completed form her claim will be reviewed and she will be notified of the outcome.
