The €200 spring bonus social welfare payment will be issued in the coming week.
The Government announced the payment in February as part of a €410 million social welfare package to help with the cost of living. Over 1.3m people on social welfare qualify for cash boost in addition to their normal weekly payment in the week commencing this Monday April 24.
Anyone who has been receiving social welfare supports for more than 12 months are eligible. However, those who receive multiple social welfare payments will only be paid one €200 bonus.
