    Information

    The Early Childcare Supplement is a State payment to to families in Ireland with children under six years of age. The purpose of the Supplement is to financially assist families with the cost of raising children, providing childcare, etc. This payment was first announced in Budget 2006.
    Rules

    Families getting Child Benefit in Ireland will be paid the Early Childcare Supplement for children under six years of age only. Once the child reaches six years of age, the payment will cease.

    Payments are made on a quarterly basis (that is, every three months). Payments will be made at the end of each quarter. That means you will get a payment for a full quarter if your child is born during a quarter, or your child reaches six years of age during a quarter.

    As with Child Benefit, the Early Childcare Supplement is non-taxable (that is, you do not have to pay tax on it).
    Rates

    The Early Childcare Supplement is worth €1,000 per child, per year.

    You will get €250 for each child every three months (that is, each quarter). Payments will be issued early in the month following the end of each quarter.

    Four payments will be made for 2007.

    Quarter Months covered Payment due
    First quarter January - March 9 April 2007
    Second quarter April - June 9 July 2007
    Third quarter July - September 8 October 2007
    Fourth quarter October - December 10 December 2007
    How to apply

    There is no separate application form for the Early Childcare Supplement. You must be getting Child Benefit for a child under six years of age. If you are getting Child Benefit, you will automatically get the Early Childcare Supplement.
