932. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when a Covid-19 or related payment will be made available in the case of a person (details supplied); if the case will be urgently investigated with a view to payment; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33645/20]

The person concerned was in receipt of a Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) up to 29/09/2020. The PUP ceased from 30/09/2020 as, according to Departmental records, the person concerned failed to confirm her eligibility for this emergency support payment.
The person concerned subsequently contacted my Department and provided the required information regarding her eligibility. The PUP has now been reinstated and the person concerned will receive her next payment on 03/11/2020.
In the interim an Exceptional Needs Payment was awarded to the person concerned and was paid into her nominated bank account on 02/11/2020.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
