The Minister for Social Protection wants to include a major change to the Child Benefit payment in Budget 2024 as the government look to extend the scheme this year
The €140 monthly payment is normally paid to parents or guardians of children under 16 years of age.
A change to this rule is expected to be included in Budget 2024, with the Minister for Social Protection, Heather Humphreys, looking to extend the scheme for all secondary schoolchildren regardless of their age. She said: “In last year’s Budget, we looked at supporting families in every way that we could, but particularly with the double Child Benefit [payment] last year, that was very well received.
To qualify for Child Benefit, you must be living in Ireland and satisfy the Habitual Residence Condition .Child Benefit is €140 a month for each child and it is paid on the first Tuesday of every month.
