A Personal Public Service (PPS) Number is a unique reference number that helps a person access social welfare benefits and public services in Ireland.
The person concerned first applied for a PPS Number, for tax purposes, on 04/04/2022. Supporting documentation was requested from the person concerned via her MyWelfare account on 07/05/2022. As the required documents were not fully provided, a further request was made to the customer on 21/05/2022. As a response was not received, the person’s application expired on 21/06/2022.
The person concerned made a second application for a PPS Number on 02/07/2022, in order to access public services. Supporting documents were sought from her on 20/07/2022. As a response was not received, the person’s application expired on 11/08/2022.
The person concerned may reapply online for a PPS Number using www.MyWelfare.ie and upload her photo identity document, proof of why she requires a PPS Number and proof of her address.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
