Payment

Parents/caregivers that are taking part in the School Meals Programme will receive money on their grocery card twice a month. You will receive €25 per registerd child. The image shows the days that you will receive money on your grocery card.

Payments are always processed in the afternoon. You will receive a message from us once money is put on your grocery card.

The grocery card is not a savings card. Spend your money within a month. Use the money on your card to buy food for your children to take to school.

Why haven’t I received money on my card?

  1. Is today a payment day?
    There is no fixed time on a payment day when the money is added to your card. It may be added later in the day. You will receive a notification once the money is available.
  2. Is it not a payment day?
    Then you will not receive any money. The grocery card is topped up twice per month.
  3. Did you just receive your grocery card?
    Then the money for this payment has already been loaded onto your card.
