Important points to note

Registration

Each unit will receive an invoice email detailing their fees for the 2021 cover. Registration for the Fund will be via Foireann. Please review the teams within Foireann requiring cover and register accordingly.  Registration and payment must be completed by August 20, 2021.

Payment

Payment for the 2021 fees must be received in full by Friday August 20 2021. Payment will only be accepted via Stripe. Once teams are registered on Foireann, the unit will be directed to pay via Stripe. It is important that if a unit has not a Stripe account set up that time is allowed for the set up and transfer of funds from a club account. If payment is received after August 20 2021, cover will only commence from that date until May 31 2022 and any unit that was entitled to a discount, will have that discount revoked.

Benefits

Following the decision of Ard Chomhairle to maintain the loss of wages cover within the Fund, all benefits remain the same. To allow the Association to manage the cost of the loss of wages benefit, a loss of wages claim will not be opened on the DWF Claims portal until a letter is provided from the player’s GP confirming that the player will be unable to work because of the Injury sustained.

Claims notification.

DWF Claims are the appointed claims administrators on the Fund and all claims are required to be notified within 60 days on the DWF Claims portal https://gaabenefitsportal.dwfclaims.com/
