Introduction The Homemaker's Scheme makes it easier for a homemaker to qualify for the State Pension (Contributory). A homemaker, for the purposes of the Homemaker’s Scheme (which was introduced from 6 April 1994), is a man or woman who provides full-time care for a child under age 12 or an ill or disabled person aged 12 or over. Rules Under the Homemaker's Scheme any years that you spent as a homemaker (since 6 April 1994) are ignored or disregarded when working out your yearly average contributions for a State Pension (Contributory). To be eligible, you must: - Permanently live in the State (except in cases where provisions under EU or posted worker regulations apply) - Be aged under 66 - Have started insurable employment or self-employment on or after the age of 16 and before the age of 56 - Not work full-time, however, you can work and earn less than €38 gross per week - Care full-time for a child under 12 or an ill or disabled person Before 26 October 2000, you were required to live with the person you were caring for. Since 26 October 2000, if you are not living with this person: - A direct system of communication must exist between your home and the person being cared for, for example by telephone or alarm system and - The person being cared for must not be getting full-time care and attention within their own home from anyone else The person being cared for must be so disabled or incapacitated as to need: - Continuous supervision in order to avoid danger to himself or herself Or - Continuous supervision and frequent assistance throughout the day in connection with his or her normal personal needs It's important to note that only one person can be regarded as the homemaker at any one time. If you stop being a homemaker and your spouse or civil partner takes up homemaking duties, you should notify the Department immediately to ensure there is no loss of entitlements under the Homemaker's Scheme. Homemaking years A homemaking year is a year in which you are out of the workforce for the full tax year (only a full year can be disregarded). Up to a maximum of 20 homemaking years can be disregarded for State Pension (Contributory) purposes. Homemaker’s credits can be awarded for part of a year at the start of the homemaking period, from the date you become a homemaker up to the end of the tax year. Likewise, homemaker’s credits can also be awarded for part of a year when the homemaking period ends, from the start of the tax year up to the date you stop homemaking. How to apply Registering as a homemaker You should register before the end of the contribution year after the year in which you first become a homemaker. An application may be backdated if there is a delay in submitting the claim. To register fill out the Homemaker's form (HM1) (pdf). You do not need to register if you: You do not need to register because your claim for Child Benefit, Carer's Allowance, Carer's Benefit or the Carer's Support Grant is treated as an application to be registered as a homemaker.

Eolas Is scéim í an Scéim um Chúramaí Baile a dhéanann éascaíocht do dhéantóir baile cáiliú don Phinsean Stáit (Ranníocach). Faoin Scéim um Chúramaí Baile (a thugadh isteach ó 6 Aibreán 1994) is déantóir baile é ná fear nó bean a thugann aire lánaimseartha do leanbh faoi aois 12 bliain nó leanbh/duine fásta éagumasach aois 12 bliain nó os a chionn. Rialacha Déantar neamhaird ar aon bhliain a chaith tú sa bhaile agus do mheánranníocaíochtaí in aghaidh na bliana á oibriú amach do Phinsean Stáit (Ranníocaíocht). Chun a bheith incháilithe don Scéim um Chúramaí Baile, caithfidh: - Tú a bheith i do chónaí sa Stát go buan (seachas i gcásanna a bhaineann le forálacha rialacháin AE nó oibrithe sannta) - Tú a bheith faoi 66 bliain d'aois - Go raibh tú i bhfostaíocht/féin-fhostaithe inárachais (i.e., caithfidh tú a bheith faoi árachas ar nó tar éis aois 16 agus roimh aois 56 bliain) - Tú gan a bheith gafa le fostaíocht lánaimseartha, tá cead agat áfach oibriú agus níos lú ná 38 euro sa tseachtain a shaothrú - Tú a bheith ag tabhairt cúraim do leanbh faoi 12 bliana d'aois nó duine éagumasach ar bhonn lánaimseartha. Roimh an 26 Deireadh Fómhair 2000, ní mór go raibh cónaí ort freisin leis an duine atá faoi do chúram. Ón 26 Deireadh Fómhair 2000, mura bhfuil cónaí ort leis an duine sin: - Caithfidh córas díreach cumarsáide a bheith idir do theach agus an duine atá faoi do chúram, mar shampla trí theileafón nó córas aláraim agus - Ní féidir leis an duine atá faoi do chúram cúram agus aird lánaimseartha a bheith acu cheana féin ó dhuine ar bith eile ina dteach féin. Caithfidh an duine a bhfuil an cúram dhá fháil aige/aici a bheith chomh míchumasach nó éagumasach agus go dteastaíonn: - Maoirseacht leanúnach chun contúirt a sheachaint dó nó di féin Nó - Maoirseacht leanúnach agus cúnamh rialta tríd an lá maidir lena mbaineann dá c(h)uid gnáth riachtanais phearsanta. Tá sé tábhachtach a thabhairt faoi deara nach mbreathnaítear ar níos mó ná duine amháin mar Chúramaí baile ag am ar bith. Má stopadh tú ag obair mar Chúramaí Baile agus má ghlacann do chéile/páirtnéir sibhialta dualgais na gcúraimí baile orthu féin, ba chóir duit fógra a thabhairt don Roinn láithreach chun cinntiú nach gcailltear teidlíochtaí ar bith faoin scéim do Chúramaí Baile.

Creidmheasanna cúramaíochta baile Tugtar creidmheasanna cúramaíochta baile suas go deireadh na bliana ranníocaíochta inár thosaigh duine a bheith ina chúramaí baile. Má éiríonn duine as a bheith ina c(h)úramaí baile le linn na bliana ranníocaíochta, déantar creidmheasanna cúramaíochta baile a thabhairt suas go dtí an dáta sin.
