How to apply for a refund of overpaid rent payments

• There must be a credit/overpayment (negative value) on your HAP Account
• Where the HAP tenancy is ceased, all payments must be stopped before a refund can be processed
• Where your HAP tenancy is active, a refund will only be processed where the credit/overpayment is more than six weeks rent.   If the credit/overpayment is six weeks or less, HAPSSC recommend stopping payments until the credit/overpayment is used up.   Please contact HAPSSC at 061 556600 if paying through the Household Budget Deduction.

NOTE: the respsonsibility is on you, as the HAP recipient, to restart your payments to ensure your HAP account does not go into arrears and possibly enter the debt process.
