"This week, we are rolling out more lump sum payments that I secured as part of Budget 2025," Minister Humphreys said. "Throughout the week some 1.4 million people will receive the Christmas Bonus payment. This will support people up and down the country including pensioners, carers, people with disabilities and working families," she added.
"In addition to the Christmas Bonus, on Tuesday we will have the second of our double Child Benefit payments that will support over 1.27 million children across the State. This means that families will receive payments of €280 per child tomorrow."
The Christmas bonus of double social welfare is due to arrive this week on the same day a claimant collects their primary payment. 676,000 families are expected to receive a double Child Benefit payment on Tuesday, December 3.
The payment continues to be paid in respect of children until their 19th birthday if they are in full-time education or have a disability.
