The three statutory bodies operating under the aegis of the Department are the Pensions Board, the Citizens Information Board and the Social Welfare Tribunal. In addition the Pensions Ombudsman comes under the remit of the Department.

The above statutory bodies comply with the requirements of the Prompt Payment Act, 1997. All approved invoices are paid within 15 days of receipt and no money was owed to private firms at the end of the last financial quarter i.e. the 30 September 2010.
