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.

As I informed the Deputy in my answer of 29 April 2010 my Department received a lump sum claim for the individual concerned on 11 January, 2010. In the course of processing the claim, a query was raised with the employer. I understand that this has been resolved in recent days and that the claim has now been authorised for payment. Payment is expected to issue in the next two to three week period.
