Parents expecting the New Baby Grant in February might receive it earlier than usual due to the St Brigid's Day bank holiday. Child Benefit payments, usually made on the first Tuesday of the month, will be issued on Friday, January 31st, or Saturday, February 1st. This early payment is expected to apply to the New Baby Grant as well.
The brand new grant was rolled out this month as announced in Budget 2025, and will be paid out every month to those who are eligible.Read more:Social welfare Ireland : Application opening date confirmed for payment of up to €285 per child
However, parents are set to receive their February Child Benefit payments early due to a schedule shake up. This means that any social welfare payments due to be paid on the Monday, as well as Child Benefit due on the Tuesday will be sent or made available Friday the 31st of January or Saturday the 1st of February.
The grant of €280 is paid alongside the child's first Child Benefit payment of €140, meaning that altogether parents will receive €420 in respect of their new baby. It was rolled out in January for children born or adopted after the 1st of December.
