My Department administers the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) in relation to redundancy matters on behalf of the Department of Social and Family Affairs. There are two types of payment made from the SIF – rebates to those employers who have paid statutory redundancy to eligible employees, and statutory lump sums to employees whose employers are insolvent and/or in receivership/liquidation. I can confirm that my Department received a redundancy rebate claim from the employer concerned on 24 April, 2009. In the course of processing the claim, a number of queries were raised with the employer. I understand that my Department has recently been in contact with the employer on an outstanding matter. The claim will be processed for payment as soon as the outstanding query is resolved.
