Parents in Ireland are due to receive the spring Child Benefit bonus within weeks.
The €100 cash boost was announced as part of the Government's spring cost of living package in February.
As well as a once-off Child Benefit bonus, there will also be a general social welfare bonus of €200 and a bonus for the Back To School Allowance later this year ranging from €260 to €385.

Here's everything you need to know:
Date for €100 Child Benefit bonus
It is set to fall on the June Child Benefit date, which is the 6th of June. However, due to the fact this date is just after a bank holiday, there is a good chance it will land in accounts early.
Usually when Child Benefit falls on the Tuesday after a bank holiday, parents see the payment in their account on the Friday or Saturday, so people could receive the bonus on the 2nd or 3rd of June.
“For people receiving Child Benefit, an additional lump sum payment of €100 for each child will be paid in June with the regular Child Benefit payment," the government said in a statement last month.
Date for €200 welfare lump payment
The €200 social welfare bonus date was confirmed to RSVP Live last week - and it will arrive in less than two weeks.
In a statement to RSVP Live, they said: "The April cost of living payment is due to issue in the week commencing the 24th of April. This will be issued along with a customer’s main qualifying payment in this week."
The same groups who received the Christmas bonus in 2022 are in line for this latest support amount, such as Jobseeker's Allowance, Carer's Allowance, and more.
€260 and €385 Back-to-School Allowance
The Back to School payment is paid automatically to many families and will be paid in June 2023.
The BSCFA which will be given for each eligible child aged 4-11 on September 30, will be €260 and the payment for each eligible child aged 12-22 on September 30 will be €385.
The government confirmed: “An additional €100 payment will also be paid this year in respect of each child for whom the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance is paid.
"For a child aged from 4 to 11 years, the payment will be €260 and for children aged 12 to 22 years it will be €385.”
