Minister for Social Protection

It is not possible to check if the person concerned submitted an online application for a Personal Public Service (PPS) Number without the email address from which the application was made. Attempts were made by officials to ascertain the person’s email address, but these efforts were unsuccessful. It is therefore not possible to determine the status of the person’s application payment at this time.

If there is a live PPS Number application I would invite the Deputy to advise the individual to make direct contact with officials at:[e-mail]. All relevant documentation should be uploaded with the application to facilitate a prompt decision.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
