The next cost of living bonus payment is just around the corner.
In February, the Government agreed a €410 million social welfare package to help with the cost of living. The first payment that was part of this package was issued in April, when 1.3m people on social welfare received a €200 spring bonus.
The second bonus payment will be given at the start of June, with parents receiving an extra €100 per child. This cash boost will be paid alongside the June Child Benefit.
