Q. How do I apply for Child Benefit for my new baby and when will it be paid?28.05.12 When you
register a birth in Ireland, the baby is allocated a
Personal Public Service (PPS) Number. The Department of Social
Protection automatically starts a claim for Child Benefit if the
birth is registered within three months. If you are not already
getting Child Benefit for another child, the Dept. creates a new
claim and sends you a partially completed claim form for your
signature and payment details. This form also tells you how to claim
for your
new
baby online. (Please note that you can only claim online if the
Department invites you to do so.) Citizens Information: Buncrana 074 9363496; Carndonagh 074 9373741
