Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 May 2012
435 Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Social Protection when online claims for redundancy payments will be processed and awarded to persons (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25499/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraRedundancy lump sum claims in respect of the persons concerned were submitted online on 30 April 2012 and 3 May 2012 respectively. As stated on the online form, once an online claim has been submitted, the form must be printed off and signed by both the employee and the employer or employer representative. This signed hard copy of the form is necessary in order for the claim to be considered valid. Hard copy forms in respects of the persons concerned were received in the Department on 17 May 2012.
The processing target for on-line redundancy claims is 6 to 8 weeks. Every effort is made to process claims as quickly as possible but it is not possible to accurately predict when these claims will be finalised.
