Rules To get an Increase for a Qualified Child (IQC), your child must: - Be resident in the State - Not be in legal custody - Satisfy the age condition for that payment - Live with you You do not get an IQC if your child is getting a social welfare payment or Supplementary Welfare Allowance in their own right (with the exception of Disablement Benefit). However if you are getting an IQC during the summer holiday period between academic years and your child becomes entitled to a social welfare payment in their own right you will continue to get the IQC and your child's payment is reduced by the amount of the IQC. Your child does not have to be financially dependent on you. Your child can work and earn money and this does not affect the increase paid to you. An IQC can be paid on behalf of foster children. Children under 18 A child dependant is usually a child up to 18 years of age who lives with you. Children aged 18 and over If your child is 18 years of age or over, you can continue to get an Increase for a Qualified Child (IQC) for three months after he or she leaves second level education or finishes the Leaving Certificate (provided that they are not getting a social welfare payment in their own right). Note that an IQC can continue to be paid if your child starts work immediately after finishing school. If you are getting a long-term social welfare payment and your child is in full-time education, an IQC will be paid up to 22 years of age or up to the end of the academic year in which he or she reaches 22. If you are getting a short-term social welfare payment for at least 156 days and your child is in full-time education, an IQC will be paid up to 22 years of age or up to the end of the academic year in which he or she reaches 22. Time spent on other social welfare payments can be combined to meet the 156 days but the period between any two payments must not be more than 26 weeks. The period between Jobseeker's Allowance payments must not be more than 52 weeks. Full-time education does not include training provided by SOLAS where an allowance is paid or where the period of work experience is greater than the period of training or instruction or where the training forms part of an employment or work experience programme. One exception to this is YouthReach. No IQC payable You do not get an Increase for a Qualified Child with the following payments: - Family Income Supplement - Guardian's Payment (Contributory) - Guardian's Payment (Non-Contributory) - Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's (Non-Contributory) Pension You do not get an IQC if you are claiming Illness Benefit, Injury Benefit, Health and Safety Benefit, Jobseeker's Benefit or Disablement Benefit (Incapacity Supplement), Invalidity Pension, Carer's Benefit or State Pension (Transition) and State Pension (Contributory) and the gross income of your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is over €400. Full-rate and half-rate IQC For most social welfare payments you get a full-rate Increase for a Qualified Child (IQC) if you get an Increase for a Qualified Adult for your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant or you are parenting alone. You get a half-rate IQC if your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant has an income of between €310 and €400 a week. (This does not apply to Jobseeker's Allowance (JA), Pre-Retirement Allowance (PRETA), Disability Allowance (DA) and Farm Assist (FA) – see below). Only one increase is paid for each qualified child. If you and your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant are both getting a social welfare payment you will each get a half-rate IQC for each child. If you get an Increase for a Qualified Adult with Supplementary Welfare Allowance (SWA), you get a full-rate IQC. A half-rate IQC is not payable with SWA. A full-rate IQC is paid with Carer's Allowance if you are parenting alone. A half-rate IQC is paid with Carer's Allowance if you are living with your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant. You do not get an IQC if you are getting half-rate Carer's Allowance. The income rules are different for Jobseeker's Allowance (JA), Disability Allowance (DA) and Farm Assist (FA). For these payments your total household income is assessed in a means test. Your assessable means are then deducted from the maximum payment for your circumstances to find the actual amount of JA, DA, FA or PRETA you are entitled to.

Rialacha Chun Méadú i leith Leanbh Cáilithe (MLC) a fháil, ní do do leanbh: - Bheith ina c(h)ónaí sa Stát - Gan bheith faoi choimeád dlíthiúil - An coinníoll aoise don íocaíocht sin a shásamh - Cónaí leat Ní fhaigheann tú MLC má tá íocaíocht leasa shóisialaigh nó Liúntas Leasa Fhorlíontaigh á fháil ag do leanbh as a stuaim féin (seachas Sochar Míchumais). Áfach má tá MLC á fháil agat le linn thréimhse shaoire an tsamhraidh idir na blianta acadúla agus má bhíonn do leanbh i dteideal íocaíocht leasa shóisialaigh a fháil as a stuaim féin, leanfaidh tú leis an MLC a fháil agus laghdófar íocaíocht do linbh faoi mhéid an MLC. Ní gá go mbíonn do leanbh spléach i dtaobh cúrsaí airgeadais ort. Féadfaidh do leanbh oibriú agus airgead a thuilleamh agus ní dhéanann seo difear don mhéad a íoctar leat. Féadfaidh Méadú do Leanbh Cáilithe (MLC) a bheith iníoctha chomh maith do leanbh altrama Leanaí faoi 18 mbliana d'aois Is gnách gur leanbh a shine agus 18 mbliana d’aois a chónaíonn leat é cleithiúnaí linbh. Leanaí os cionn 18 mbliana d'aois Má tá do leanbh 18 mbliana d'aois nó níos sine, is féidir leat leanúint ag fáil an Ardaithe do Chleithiúnaí Linbh ar feadh trí mhí tar éis dó/di oideachas dara leibhéal a fhágáil nó an Ardteistiméireacht a chríochnú (ar an gcoinníoll nach bhfaigheann sé/sí íocaíocht leasa shóisialaigh ina seilbh dhílis féin). Nóta: má thosaíonn do leanbh ag obair a luaithe a chríochnaigh sé/sí scoil, féadfaidh tú leanúint ag fáil ACL. Má tá tú ag fáil íocaíochta leasa shóisialaigh fhadthéarmaigh agus do pháiste in oideachas lánaimseartha, íocfar Ardú do Chleithiúnaí Linbh suas go dtí 22 bliain d'aois nó suas go dtí deireadh na bliana acadúla ina sroicheann sé/sí 22. Má tá tú ag fáil íocaíochta leasa shóisialaigh ghearrthéarmaigh ar feadh 156 lá ar a laghad gus do pháiste in oideachas lánaimseartha, íocfar Ardú Cleithiúnaí Linbh suas go dtí 22 bliain d'aois nó suas go dtí deireadh na bliana acadúla ina sroicheann Is féidir am atá caite ar íocaíochtaí leasa shóisialaigh eile a chur le chéile chun an 156 lá a bhaint amach, ach ní féidir leis an spás idir aon dhá íocaíocht a bheith níos mó ná 26 seachtaine. Cibé ar bith, ní féidir leis an spás idir na híocaíochtaí Liúntas Cuardaitheora Poist a bheith níos faide ná 52 seachtain. Ní chuimsíonn oideachas lánaimseartha oiliúint atá soláthraithe ag SOLAS áit atá liúntas íoctha nó ina bhfuil an tréimhse thaithí oibre níos mó ná an tréimhse oiliúna nó treorach nó áit a chuimsíonn oiliúint páirt de chlár fostaíochta nó taithí oibre. Eisceacht amháin is ea Youthreach. MLC neamh-iníoctha Ní fhaigheann tú Méadú i leith Leanbh Cáilithe leis na híocaíochtaí a leanas: - Forlíonadh Ioncaim Teaghlaigh - Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Ranníocach) - Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra (Neamh-Ranníocach) - Pinsean Baintrí, Baintrí Fir nó Páirtnéara Shibhialta Mharthanaigh (Neamh-Ranníocach) Ní fhaigheann tú MLC má tá Sochar Breoiteachta, Sochar Díobhála, Sochar Sláinte agus Sábháilteachta, Sochar Cuardaitheora Poist nó Sochar Míchumais (Forlíonadh Éagumais), Pinsean Easláinte, Sochar Cúramóra nó an Pinsean Stáit (Aistriú) agus leis an bPinsean Stáit (Ranníocach) á fháil agat agus más breis agus €400 ollioncam do chéile, do pháirtnéara shibhialta nó do chomháitritheora. MLC ráta iomláin agus leathráta I gcás thromlach na n-íocaíochtaí leasa shóisialaigh, faigheann tú Méadú ráta iomláin i leith Leanbh Cáilithe (MLC) má fhaigheann tú Méadú i leith Duine Fásta Cáilithe do do chéile, páirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomháitritheoir nó más tuismitheoir aonair thú. Faigheann tú MLC leathráta má tá ioncam de bhreis ar €310 sa tseachtain ag do chéile, páirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomháitritheoir. (Ní bhaineann seo le Liúntas Cuardaitheora Poist (LCP), Liúntas Réamhscoir (LR), Liúntas Míchumais (LM) agus le Cúnamh Feirme (CF) – féach thíos). Ní íoctar ach méadú amháin le haghaidh gach linbh. Má tá íocaíocht leasa shóisialaigh á fáil agatsa agus ag do chéile, páirtnéir sibhialta nó ag do chomháititheoir, íocfar MLC leathráta libh beirt le haghaidh gach linbh. Má fhaigheann tú Méadú i leith Duine Fásta le Liúntas Leasa Fhorlíontaigh (LLF), gheobhaidh tú MLC ráta iomláin. Níl MLC leathráta iníochta leis LLF. Íoctar MLC ráta iomláin le Liúntas Cúramóra más tuismitheoir aonair thú. Íoctar MLC leathráta le Liúntas Cúramóra má tá tú i do chónaí le do chéile, páirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomháitritheoir. Ní fhaigheann tú MLC má tá Liúntas Cúramóra leathráta á fháil agat. Is difriúil do na rialacha ioncaim le haghaidh Liúntas Cuardaitheora Poist (LCP), Liúntas Réamhscoir (LR), Liúntas Míchumais (LM) agus Cúnamh Feirme (CF). Do na híocaíochtaí seo, déantar d’ioncam iomlán teaghlaigh a mheasúnú i dtástáil mhaoine. Asbhaintear do mhaoin inmheasúnaithe ansin ón íocaíocht uasta do do chuid cúinsí leis an tsuim chruinn den LCP, LM, CF nó LR a dheimhniú a bhfuil tú ina teideal a fháil.
