Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 July 2021
264. Deputy Kieran O'Donnell asked the Minister for Social Protection if homemaker’s credits will be added to the record of a person (details supplied); and if they have an entitlement to the higher rate of pension. [37037/21]
View answerAccording to the records of my Department, the person concerned has a social insurance record of 841 full-rate paid contributions, 717 credited contributions and 754 HomeCaring Periods in respect of childcaring duties for their three children.
The person's entitlement to State pension (contributory) has been reviewed. They are entitled to 90.43% of the maximum rate of pension from 11 July 2021, their 66th birthday. They were notified in writing of this decision on 5 July 2021.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
