The person named submitted an application under the ACRES Co-operation stream and was approved into Tranche 2 of the scheme, with a commencement date of 1st January 2024.

The issue that had been preventing this case from passing the required validations for the Advance payment for 2024 has been identified, and my Department is actively working on resolving this issue in order to progress this application through the regulatory controls and validations.

As cases clear validations, they are added to the next scheduled pay run. Pay runs are taking place weekly across all scheme years and tranches. I can assure you that everything is being done to pay, as soon as possible, all ACRES participants who clear pre-payment checks.

In addition, advance payments in respect of scheme year 2025 are due to commence in November 2025.
