Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 March 2022
322. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on a child benefit application by a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13620/22]
View answerChild Benefit is a monthly payment to the parents or guardians of children under 16 years of age. Child Benefit can also be claimed for children aged 16 and 17, if they are in full-time education or full-time training or have a disability and cannot support themselves.
No application for Child Benefit has been received from the person concerned.
Child Benefit Section have attempted to contact the person concerned by phone and have been unable to do so. A CB1 application form has issued to their home address for completion. Once received a decision on entitlement will be made.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
