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.
