978. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a late application can be accepted in the case of a person (details supplied); if not, if there is another avenue that the person can pursue for redundancy; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [19405/22]

I confirm that an application from the person concerned for Statutory Redundancy  was received by the Department on 10 February 2021.  This application related to an employment which had terminated on 20 April 2019.  Under Section 24 of the Redundancy Payments Act 1967, in order to qualify for Statutory Redundancy, claims must be submitted no less than 52 weeks after the date of termination.  As this application was submitted outside of the statutory timeframe it was disallowed.  The person concerned was notified of this decision on 16 Feb 2021.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
