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.

Child Benefit is normally paid on the first Tuesday of every month. However, due to the June Bank Holiday, parents can expect to receive the money a bit earlier.
All social welfare payments due to be paid on the Monday, as well as Child Benefit due on the Tuesday, will be sent or made available on the prior Friday or Saturday. This means parents can expect their Child Benefit and bonus payments on Friday 2nd June or Saturday 3rd June.
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 four to 11 years, the payment will be €260 and for children aged 12 to 22 years it will be €385
