Introduction If you are taking care of an orphan, you may get a social welfare payment. It is not necessary to be a legally appointed guardian. You may get such a payment if the orphan lives with you and you are responsible for his or her care. The payment must benefit the orphan. If an orphan is attending a full-time education course, is aged between 18 and 22 years of age and is not living with or in the care of a guardian, the payment can be paid directly to the orphan. The payment can be contributory (based on PRSI payments paid by the parent) or non-contributory (based on a means-test). You can claim only one of the following: - Guardian's Payment (Contributory) previously called Orphan's (Contributory) Allowance - Guardian's Payment (Non-Contributory) previously called Orphan's (Non-Contributory) Pension - Death Benefit/Orphan's Pension awarded under the Occupational Injuries Scheme. You cannot get one of these payments and a Foster Care Allowance together. Taxation of payments to guardians Social welfare payments made for the benefit of an orphan are taxable. However, these payments are regarded as the beneficial property of the orphan and are therefore assessable against their income (if any), not against the income of the guardian. Rules A child is regarded as an orphan if: - They are under 18 (or 22 if in full-time education) and - Both parents are dead, or - One parent is either dead or unknown or has abandoned and failed to provide for the child, and - The other parent is unknown or has abandoned and failed to provide for the child. Guardian's Payment (Contributory) If either parent or step-parent had worked at any time and paid PRSI for 26 weeks, the orphan is entitled to the Guardian's Payment (Contributory). This may be paid for an orphan living in the State or abroad and is not means tested. Payment is made to the orphan's guardian up to the child's 18th birthday or 22nd birthday if they are in full-time education. Guardian's Payment (Non-Contributory) This is a non-contributory payment for orphans who are not entitled to the contributory payment. The means test for this is based on the orphan's means. Payment is made to their guardian up to the orphan's 18th birthday or 22nd birthday if they are in full-time education. You must be 'habitually resident' in Ireland to qualify for Guardian's Payment (Non-Contributory). Find out more about habitual residence. EU citizens who are employed or self-employed in Ireland will satisfy the habitual residence criteria to qualify for Guardian's Payment (Non-Contributory) under EU Regulations. Death Benefit/Orphan's Pension awarded under the Occupational Injuries Benefit Scheme Under the Occupational Injuries Scheme, a slightly higher pension may be payable to the guardian of an orphan if the parent, step-parent or person who was supporting the orphaned child or children: - Died as a result of an accident at work - Died as a result of an occupational disease - Was getting Disablement Pension assessed at 50% or more at the time of their death. This payment is not means tested and there are no specific PRSI requirements (as long as at least one week of PRSI has been paid). Rates From 30 March 2018, the Guardian's Payment (Contributory) is paid at a standard rate of €181 per week and the maximum Guardian's Payment (Non-Contributory) is €181 per week. Whether or not you get the maximum Guardian's Payment (Non-Contributory) will depend on the means test (this is carried out on the orphan's means - if any). If the orphan has means from work the first €7.60 is not assessed. If the orphan’s weekly means are more than €7.60 the Guardian's Payment (Non-Contributory) is reduced by €2.50 for each €2.50 assessed (that is, for each €2.50 or part of €2.50 of means over the amount of €7.60). See SW19 for a table of how an orphan’s means affect a Guardian’s Payment (Non-Contributory). The Death Benefit/Orphan's Pension payable under the Occupation Injuries Scheme is €184.80 from 30 March 2018.

Eolas Is féidir íocaíocht chaomhnóra a dhéanamh le duine a thugann cúram do dhílleachta. Ní gá duit a bheith ceaptha go dlíthiúil mar chaomhnóir. Tabharfar an íocaíocht chaomhnóra duit má chónaíonn an dílleachta leat agus más tusa atá freagrach as breathnú ina d(h)iaidh. Ní foláir nó go rachaidh an íocaíocht chun tairbhe an dílleachta. Is leis an dílleachta féin a dhéanfar an íocaíocht más rud é go bhfuil sé nó sí ag freastal ar chúrsa lánaimseartha oideachais, go bhfuil sé nó sí idir 18 agus 22 bliana d'aois, agus nach bhfuil cónaí air nó uirthi leis an gcaomhnóir nó faoina c(h)úram. Féadfaidh an íocaíocht seo a bheith ranníocach agus bunaithe ar na híocaíochtaí ÁSPC a rinne an tuismitheoir, nó féadfaidh siad a bheidh neamh-ranníocach agus ag braith ar thástáil acmhainne. Ní féidir leat ach ceann amháin díobh seo a leanas a éileamh: - Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Ranníocach) ar a dtugtaí Liúntas Dílleachta (Ranníocach) roimhe seo - Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Neamh-Ranníocach) ar a dtugtaí Liúntas Dílleachta (Neamh-Ranníocach) roimhe seo - Sochar Dílleachta faoi Scéim na Sochar Gortuithe Ceirde Ní féidir leat íocaíocht chaomhnóra agus liúntas cúraim altrama a fháil. Rialacha Glactar leis go bhfuil leanbh ina dhílleachta: - Má tá sé nó sí faoi bhun 18 (nó faoi 22 má tá sé nó sí i mbun oideachas lánaimseartha) - Tá an bheirt thuismitheoirí marbh, nó - Tá tuismitheoir amháin marbh nó ní fios cá bhfuil sé/sí nó tá an leanbh tréigthe aige/aici nó teipthe orthu soláthar a dhéanamh don leanbh, agus - Ní fios cé hé/hí an tuismitheoir eile nó tá an leanbh tréigthe aige/aici nó teipthe orthu soláthar a dhéanamh don leanbh. Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Ranníocach) Tá an dílleachta i dteideal Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Ranníocach) a fháil má d'oibrigh ceachtar dá t(h)uismitheoir uair ar bith agus má tá ranníocaíochtaí ÁSPC déanta aige nó aici ar feadh 26 seachtaine. Is féidir é seo a íoc le dílleachta atá ina c(h)ónaí sa stát nó thar lear agus níl aon tástáil acmhainne i gceist. Is leis an gcaomhnóir a dhéantar an íocaíocht go dtí go mbíonn 18 bliana slán ag an leanbh nó go dtí a 22ú breithlá má tá sé nó sí ar chúrsa oideachais lán aimseartha. Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Neamh-Ranníocach) Is íocaíocht neamh-ranníocach é seo do leanaí nach bhfuil i dteideal íocaíocht ranníocach a fháil. Is í acmhainn an linbh a thástáltar don íocaíocht seo. Is leis an gcaomhnóir a dhéantar an íocaíocht go dtí go mbíonn 18 bliana slán ag an leanbh nó go dtí a 22ú breithlá má tá sé nó sí ar chúrsa oideachais lán aimseartha. Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Neamh-Ranníocach) agus gnáth-chónaí Ó 1 Bealtaine 2004 i leith ní mór go mbeidh "gnáth-chónaí" ort in Éirinn d'fhonn cáiliú d'Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Neamh-Ranníocach) Faigh amach tuilleadh faoi ghnáth-chónaí. Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Neamh-Ranníocach) agus Rialacha an AE Ó 5 Bealtaine 2005 sásóidh saoránaigh de chuid an AE atá fostaithe nó féinfhostaithe in Éirinn critéir an ghnáth-chónaithe chun cáiliú don Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Neamh-Ranníocach). Pinsean Dílleachta faoi Scéim na Sochar Gortuithe Ceirde Is féidir pinsean dílleachtaí beagán níos airde a íoc faoi Scéim na Sochar Gortuithe Ceirde más rud é: - Go bhfuair an tuismitheoir, an leasthuismitheoir nó an duine atá ag cothú an linbh nó na leanaí bás de thoradh gortaithe ag obair - Nó de thoradh galair cheirde - Go raibh sé nó sí ag fáil Pinsin Mhíchumais ar measadh é a bheith de 50% nó níos mó ag am a b(h)áis. Níl aon tástáil acmhainne i gceist maidir leis an sochar seo, agus níl aon riachtanas ann maidir le híocaíochtaí ÁSPC chomh fada is a rinneadh íocaíocht seachtaine amháin ÁSPC. Rataí Is é €161 (2015) in aghaidh na seachtaine an Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Ranníocach). Is é €161 (2015) in aghaidh na seachtaine an Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Neamh-Ranníocach) freisin ach ní mór tástáil acmhainne a dhéanamh le féachaint an bhfaighidh tú an méid iomlán. Í 2015 i leith is é €164.80 an pinsean dílleachta atá iníoctha faoin Scéim um Shochar Gortuithe Ceirde.
