Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 May 2018
409. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if issues exist in terms of spousal inheritance for wives who previously had their personal public service number changed upon marriage should they be pre-deceased by their husbands. [18548/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraWhile it is the Department’s policy that “Level W” Personal Public Service (PPS) Numbers (the husband’s number with a W at the end) should, for data protection reasons, be replaced with a separate number, such numbers remain valid PPS Numbers.
Queries in relation to taxation issues should be addressed to the Department of Finance and the Revenue Commissioners.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
