The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the tables below to the extent that my Department is in a position to do so. It should be noted, however, that the final column in each table will include claimants who are no longer in receipt of JST or OFP for a range of reasons - for example, the child concerned may have passed the relevant age threshold and the claimant may no longer therefore be entitled to the JST or OFP as appropriate.
There may be situations where a OFP or JST recipient is no longer receiving maintenance (or they may be receiving a reduced amount) for their child because the other parent has lost their job due to Covid-19 pandemic.
In these cases, the customer should contact their local Intreo Centre and provide it with a letter stating that they are no longer receiving the maintenance payment from the other parent. Their payment will be revised for a period of twelve weeks after which it will be reviewed again.
