Prepare for €125 Cost of Living Payment in January: Who’s Eligible?

Irish households are in for a financial boost in January, with a €125 cost of living payment set to be issued to all households, regardless of their social welfare status.

A Helping Hand for Every Household

This significant payment aims to alleviate the pressure of rising living costs and is available to all homes in Ireland. No need to apply or be in receipt of social welfare benefits to qualify.

Energy Credit Changes Leave Some Behind

However, it’s important to note that some households may miss out on a separate €125 energy credit payment due to recent changes in eligibility criteria. This particular credit is aimed at easing energy bills, but specific groups may no longer qualify.

When Will the Second Energy Credit Arrive?

The second €125 energy credit was originally expected in December, but it has now been pushed into the New Year. The exact date for delivery is still pending official confirmation.
