Information Carer's Benefit is a payment made to insured people who leave the workforce to care for a person(s) in need of full-time care and attention. You can get Carer's Benefit for a total period of 104 weeks for each person being cared for. This may be claimed as a single continuous period or in any number of separate periods up to a total of 104 weeks. However, if you claim Carer's Benefit for less than six consecutive weeks in any given period you must wait for a further six weeks before you can claim Carer's Benefit to care for the same person again. If you are caring for more than one person, you may receive payment for each care recipient for 104 weeks. This may result in the care periods overlapping or running concurrently. Respite care The Carer's Support Grant is an annual payment made to carers by the Department of Social Protection. It is paid on the first Thursday in June of each year. Find out more about respite care. The grant will increase to €1,700 in June 2016. It was renamed the Carer's Support Grant to better reflect how it is used by carers. Carer's leave Your right to carer's leave from employment complements the Carer's Benefit Scheme. Carer's leave allows you to leave your employment temporarily for up to 104 weeks to provide full-time care for people in need of full-time care and attention. The leave is unpaid but people who take carer's leave have their jobs kept open for the duration of the leave. You do not have to be eligible for Carer's Benefit to get carer's leave. If you think you have been wrongly refused Carer's Benefit, or you are unhappy about a decision of a social welfare deciding officer about your entitlements, you can appeal this decision. Rules You may be eligible for Carer's Benefit if: - You are aged 16 or over and under 66. - You have been employed for at least 8 weeks, whether consecutive or not, in the previous 26 week period. You must be in employment for a minimum of 16 hours per week or 32 hours per fortnight. You don't have to meet this condition if you were getting Carer's Benefit in the previous 26 weeks. - You give up work in order to be a full-time carer. Being a full-time carer means you must be living with or in a position to provide full-time care and attention to a person in need of care who is not living in an institution. - You are not living in a hospital, convalescent home or other similar institution. However, you may continue to be regarded as providing full-time care and attention, if you or the person being cared for is having medical or other treatment in a hospital or other institution for a period not longer than 13 weeks. - You meet the PRSI contribution conditions. - The person being cared for is so incapacitated as to require full-time care and attention and is not normally living in an institution. Medical certification is required unless the person being cared for is a child who is getting Domiciliary Care Allowance. The carer of a child on a Domiciliary Care Allowance does not need to be the person who receives that allowance on the child's behalf. - You must not take part in employment, self-employment, training or education courses outside the home for more than 15 hours a week. The maximum amount you can earn is €332.50 per week. (€332.50 is your net income after you have deducted income tax and Universal Social Charge, PRSI, superannuation (pension payments), pension levy, union dues, subscriptions to Friendly Societies and any health insurance contract premium from your total wage.) PRSI contribution conditions You must have at least 156 contributions paid at any time between your entry into insurance and the time you make your claim for Carer's Benefit and: - 39 contributions paid in the Relevant Tax Year or - 39 contributions paid in the 12-month period before the start of Carer's Benefit or - 26 contributions paid in the Relevant Tax Year and 26 contributions paid in the year before that. Only contributions at Class A, B, C, D, H and E can be counted towards Carer's Benefit. Class S (self-employed contributions) do not count. The Relevant Tax Year is the second last complete tax year before the year in which you make your claim. So, for claims made in 2015, the Relevant Tax Year is Periods of insurance in another EU member state may be taken into account to meet the PRSI contribution conditions. The last week of insurance must be paid in Ireland. You are awarded credited contributions or credits automatically when you are getting Carer's Benefit. Credits are awarded at the same rate as your last paid contribution. These credits help protect your future entitlement to social welfare benefits and pensions. Claiming an increase for a child dependant You can claim an increase for a child if they are under age 18, normally live with you and are maintained by you. If a child is in full-time education by day at a recognised school or college this increase is payable until the end of the academic year in which the the child reaches age 22. (This child does not have to live at home). A full-rate Increase for a Qualified Child (IQC) is payable if you are single, widowed, separated or a civil partner who is not living with the other civil partner. You may get a half-rate IQC if you are living with your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant. If your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is getting a payment from the Department of Social Protection, you will each get a half-rate increase. You cannot claim a half-rate IQC with your Carer's Benefit if your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant has an income of over €400 a week. Tax implications This is a taxable source of income and should be advised to your local tax office. Continuing the payment after a death If the person you are caring for dies, payment of Carer's Benefit will continue for 6 weeks following the death.

Eolas Íoctar Sochar Cúramóra le daoine le hárachas in Éirinn a fhágann an líon saothair chun aire a thabhairt do dhuine nó do dhaoine ar ghá cúram lánaimseartha a thabhairt dóibh. Féadfaidh tú Sochar Cúramóra do thréimhse 104 seachtain san iomlán i gcás gach duine a bhfuil tú ag déanamh cúram dó nó di. Is féidir é seo a éileamh mar thréimhse leanúnach amháin nó ina chodanna de thréimhsí éagsúla a bheidh 104 seachtain iontu san iomlán. Má éilíonn tú Sochar Cúramóra i gcás tréimhse níos lú ná sé seachtaine leanúnacha i dtréimhse ar bith ní mór duit fanacht sé seachtaine eile sula n-éilíonn tú Sochar Cúramóra chun cúram a thabhairt don duine céanna arís. Más rud é go bhfuil tú ag tabhairt cúram do bhreis agus duine amháin, féadfaidh tú íocaíocht a fháil ar feadh 104 seachtain i gcás gach duine acu. Féadfaidh na tréimhsí cúraim forluí ar a chéile nó a bheith i gcomhthráth le chéile. Íocaíochtaí i leith cúraim faoisimh Is deontas airgid thirim é an Deontas Cúraim Faoisimh a íoctar le cúramóirí. Is féidir le cúramóirí an deontas a úsáid pé slí ar mian leo. Bíonn na híocaíochtaí bhliantúla i leith cúraim faoisimh iníoctha ar an gcéad Déardaoin i Meitheamh gach bliain. Léigh tuilleadh faoi chúram faoisimh anseo. Saoire cúramóra Comhlánaíonn an ceart atá agat maidir le cearta cúramóra um shaoire ó fhostaíocht Scéim Sochar Cúramóra maidir le saoire. Tugann saoire cúramóra cead d'fhostaithe an fhostaíocht atá acu a fhágáil go sealadach ar feadh tréimhse nach mó ná 104 sheachtain chun cúram lánaimseartha a thabhairt do dhaoine a bhfuil gá acu le cúram agus aire lánaimsire. Ní íocfar iad le linn na saoire seo ach i gcás na ndaoine ar mhian leo saoire chúramóra a ghlacadh coinneofar a jabanna in áirithe dóibh ar feadh na saoire. Ní gá go mbeifeá i dteideal Sochar Cúramóra a fháil le bheith i dteideal saoire cúramóra a bheith agat. Más dóigh leat gur diúltaíodh Sochar Chúramóra go héagórach duit nó mura bhfuil tú sásta le cinneadh a rinne Oifigeach Cinnidh Leasa Shóisialaigh faoi na teidlíochaí atá agat, tá sé de rogha agat achomharc a dhéanamh in aghaidh an chinnidh seo. Rialacha D'fhéadfá a bheith i dteideal Sochar Cúramóra a fháil: - Má tá tú 16 bliana d'aois agus faoi bhun 66 - Má bhí tú fostaithe ar feadh ocht seachtain i rith an 26 seachtain sular oibrigh tú mar chúramóir. Ní mór duit 16 uaire oibre a bheith déanta agat in aghaidh na seachtaine nó 32 uaire in aghaidh na coicíse - Má d'éirigh tú as obair le bheith i do chúramóir lánaimsire. Is éard is brí le bheith i do chúramóir lánaimsire ná a bheith i do chónaí le duine (nach bhfuil ag cur faoi nó fúithi in institiúid) a bhfuil cúram agus aire lánaimsire ag teastáil uaidh nó uaithi nó go bhfuil sé ar do chumas iad sin a thabhairt don té sin. - Níl tú ag cur fút in ospidéal, i dteach téarnaimh nó in institiúid dá leithéid. Áfach, má fhaigheann tú nó an duine a thugann tú aire dó/dí cóireáil leighis in ospidéil ar feadh 13 seachtain nó níos lú, glactar leat bheith ag tabhairt cúram agus aire lán aimseartha. - Ní mór duit coinníollacha Árachas Sóisialach Pá-Choibhneasa a shásamh - Ní mór don duine sin atá faoi do chúram agat a bheith chomh míchumasaithe sin go bhfuil cúram lánaimsire riachtanach dó nó di agus nach bhfuil an té sin ag cur faoi nó fúithi in institiúid. Ní mór teastas dochtúra a sholáthar. Níl teastas dochtúra riachtanach má tá Liúntas Chúram sa Teaghais á íoc ag Limistéar de chuid Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte i leith linbh. Ní gá gurbh é nó í an cúramóir an duine a fhaigheann an Liúntas Chúram sa Teaghais thar cheann an linbh. - Ní féidir leat a bheith ag obair mar fhostaí nó féinfhostaithe ar feadh breis agus 15 n-uaire sa tseachtain. Is é an t-uasmhéid gur féidir leat a thuilleamh in aghaidh na seachtaine ná €332.50. (Is é €332.50 do ghlanioncam tar éis duit do cháin ioncaim agus an Muirir Sóisialta Uilíoch, PRSI, aoisliúntas (íocaíochtaí pinsin), éileamh pinsin, costais cheardchumainn, an phréimh árachais sláinte agus do shíntiúis chuig Cumainn Chairdiúla ó d'íocaíocht iomláin.) Coinníollacha maidir le híocaíochtaí Árachais Shóisialaigh Phá-Choibhneasa Ní mór duit 156 ranníocaíocht ar a laghad a bheith déanta agat ón am a chuaigh tú isteach sa scéim árachais go dtí an t-am a dhéanann tú an t-iarratas ar Shochar Chúramóra, agus - 39 ranníocaíocht a bheith déanta agat sa Bhliain Chánach iomchuí, nó - 39 ranníocaíocht déanta sa tréimhse 12 mí sular thosaigh an Sochar Cúramóra, nó - 26 ranníocaíocht déanta sa Bhliain Chánach Iomchuí agus 26 ranníocaíocht sa bhliain roimhe sin. Ní féidir ach amháin ranníocaíochtaí ag Aicme ÁSPC A, B, C, D, E agus H a chur san áireamh i dtreo Sochair Cúramóra. Ní chuirtear Aicme S (ranníocaíochtaí féinfhostaithe) san áireamh. Is í an dara bliain iomlán cánach deireanach roimh an mbliain ina ndéanann tú d'éileamh an Bhliain Chánach Iomchuí, mar shampla, is í 2013 an Bhliain Chánach Iomchuí i gcás éilimh a dhéantar i 2015. D'fhéadfaí tréimhsí árachais a críochnaíodh i mballstát eile de chuid an AE a chur san áireamh, chun na coinníollacha ranníocaíochta ÁSPC a chomhlíonadh. Is gá gur íocadh an tseachtain dheireanach oibre d'árachas íoctha in Éirinn. Tabharfar íocaíochtaí curtha do shochar (creidmheasanna) duit gan iad a iarradh i gcás na tréimhse sin ina bhfuil tú ag fáil Sochar Cúramóra. Tugtar creidmheasanna ar an ráta céanna leis an ranníocaíocht dheireannach a rinne tú. Cinnteoidh na creidmheasanna seo nach gcaillfidh tú teidlíocht do shochar leasa shóisialaigh ná do phinsin amach anseo. Leanaí cleithiúnaithe Féadfaidh tú méadú a éileamh i leith linbh atá faoi bhun 18, atá ina c(h)ónaí leat de ghnáth más tusa a bhíonn á c(h)othú. Má tá leanbh ag fáil oideachais lánaimsire lae i scoil nó i gcoláiste aitheanta tá an méadú seo iníoctha go deireadh na bliana acadúla sin ina shroicheann an leanbh aois a 22. (Ní gá don leanbh a bheith ag cur faoi nó fúithi sa bhaile. Tá an méadú i leith leanaí cleithiúnacha iníoctha is cuma má bhíonn tú singil, i do bhaintreach , scartha ó do chéile nó más páirtnéir sibhialta tú nach bhfuil ina c(h)ónaí leis an páirtnéir sibhialta eile. Tá leath den mhéadú i leith Leanaí Cleithiúnacha iníoctha má tá tú ag maireachtáil le do chéile/páirtnéir sibhialta/comhchónaitheoir. Má tá íocaíocht á fháil ag do chéile/páirtnéir sibhialta/comhchónaitheoir ón Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí, gheobhaidh an bheirt agaibh araon leath den Mhéadú i leith Leanaí Cleithiúnacha. Ó 5 Iúil 2012, más ioncam do chéile, páirtnéir sibhialta ó comhchónaitheoir níos mó ná €400 in aghaidh na seachtaine, ní féidir leat an méadú i leith leanaí cleithiúnacha iníoctha le do Shochar Cúramóra a éileamh a thuilleadh. Impleachtaí cánacha Is foinse ioncaim incháinithe é seo agus ba chóir duit é sin a chur in iúl do d'oifig chanach áitiúil. Leanúint ar aghaidh le híocaíocht tar éis báis Má tharlaíonn sé go bhfaigheann an duine a bhfuil tú ag tabhairt cúram dó nó di bás íocfar an Sochar Cúramóra duit go ceann 6 seachtain i ndiaidh a b(h)ás. D'fhéadfadh sé tarlú go mbeadh Deontas Méala iníoctha leat freisin. Léigh tuilleadh faoi Dheontais Mhéala anseo.
