Thousands of social welfare recipients had their payments impacted by the Christmas period, and there is just one more date to be aware of as New Year’s Eve will change the usual payment schedule.
While there was no change to payments made on the week of December 19, there was an advanced payment made for the following week.
According to the Department of Social Protection, changes would apply to those who collect payment from the post office, those who are sent cheques and those who get payments sent to their bank accounts as a result of Christmas and the New Year.
