The Back-to-School Clothing and Footwear Allowance for 2024 opens for applications today. 

The once-off payment provides €160 for children aged 4 – 11 and €285 for children aged 12 years and over in second level education.

Some €65.2 million has been secured for the scheme this year – with more than 118,000 families are set to receive the allowance automatically on the week beginning July 8th.

The majority of payments will be paid automatically with no application form required.

The Department of Social Protection is currently processing these payments and recipients will receive confirmation informing them of their automatic entitlement, on their MyWelfare account or by post. This will result in approximately €44.2 million paid to these families during the week beginning 8th July.

Families who do not receive notification from the Department of an automated payment should make an application online on www.MyWelfare.ie even if they received a payment last year.
