I got one last year..or maybe it was two years ago....i had applied for a driving licence renewal previously through NDLS(face to face)...i got a letter from them saying that if i confirmed a few more details they'd send one out.....this was before all the controversy arose.

If I read it correctly you have to fill out a full application after you've filled out the one page jobbie and there's a possibility they might want the money back if it turns out you're not entitled to it?

I'm assuming the full form will be detailed and they will take the money back off you in time if you have a few quid in the bank??

Just to be clear.....even if you have a mygov account you can't fill that(Pandemic Emergency Payment)form in online,you will need to download it,fill it in and post it,
But if you do have a mygov account you can fill in the Jobseekers Allowance application(that needs to be done within 6 weeks) online.

To qualify for Jobseeker's Benefit, you must satisfy two main PRSI contribution conditions.

Condition 1

You must have paid at least 104 PRSI insurable employment contributions at Class A, H or P,

You must have paid at least 156 PRSI self-employment contributions at Class S.

Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment has been introduced for anyone whose employer is unable to continue to pay them. The payment is available to all employees and the self-employed who have lost employment due to the pandemic. You will get a payment of €203 per week for up to 6 weeks (as applicable). To receive the payment follow these steps;
1.Apply for the COVID-19 Unemployment payment using the form on the next page.
2.Post it to FREEPOST PO BOX 12896 Dublin 1.
3.Apply for Jobseekers within 6 weeks to ensure you continue to receive a payment (if applicable) after the emergency payment has finished.
Once this normal Jobseekers claim is subsequently received, the Department will process these claims and reconcile payments at that time. This will involve backdating increased payments for certain customers. Important You DO NOT NEED to go the Intreo Centre, you can apply in the following ways:

1.An application form for the new Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment can be downloaded from our website www.gov.ie/jobseekers (http://www.gov.ie/jobseekers) and returned to FREEPOST PO BOX 12896 Dublin 1;
2.You can apply for Jobseekers support through our online portal www.MyWelfare.ie (http://www.MyWelfare.ie), (you will need a Public Services Card);
or 3.Phone us on 1890 800 024 or 01 2481398  and we will send you the relevant application form for the new payment.
Note - Please keep checking your Bank Account as payment may issue in advance of us formally notifying you.

This might sound like a dumb question but what exactly is a class S contribution.I know we pay one but how long does it take to pay one of them and is it a fixed amount of money to have one.

I think this Covid payment will be extended beyond the six weeks so it won't be an issue if we don't have enough contributions.

Condition 1

You must have paid at least 104 PRSI insurable employment contributions at Class A, H or P,

or

You must have paid at least 156 PRSI self-employment contributions at Class S.

Additionally you cannot continue in self-employment (so have to surrender your PSV licences) and you have to have made 52 contributions in the relevant tax year i.e. 2018. Furthermore your payment will be reduced if your average weekly earnings for the relevant tax year (2018) was below €300. Assuming average weekly earnings is based on a 52 week year I'm slightly above 3 ton before capital allowances and slightly below after capital allowances.

Quote
If you only qualify for a reduced payment, it may be of greater benefit for you to claim Jobseeker's Allowance instead of Jobseeker's Benefit (Self-Employed).

In the case of Jobseekers allowance there is no requirement to surrender your licences and there is no restriction on working on a self-employed basis.

The Covid payment is different from the normal jobseekers which normally would be filled out before you get a tosser,the Covid payment will last for 6 weeks maximum (so they say) and you are expected to fill one of the normal ones in before the 6 weeks are up.

That  normal jobseekers will be harder to get as I would imagine it's means tested so if you have a few quid aside for a rainy day you won't get anything.

You don't need to surrender licences or anything like that for the emergency 6 week Jobseekers Benefit. However, you are supposed to apply for a long-term unemployment payment within the 6 weeks. That's how the discussion on the relative merits of means tested JA and non means tested but more restrictive JB evolved.

I don't know if you will get the full 6 weeks of payments seeing as you will have already gotten the 305 fer 2 weeks, but fer sure you will be entitled to the last 4 weeks of the emergency payments of 203 per week.

If the kids are available for and looking for work they are entitled to Jobseekers. My younger not so young lad was told he's temporarily laid off from his part-time job and he was given the COVID 19 form... not sure if his part-time contributions will qualify him for Jobseekers Benefit after the 6 weeks so, again, he'll have to find out what he's entitled to... if Mrs. Catcher's salary keeps being paid I doubt he (or I) would get the means tested Jobseekers Allowance.

The 6 weeks will probably be extended, that's pretty obvious. It is conditional on you applying for Jobseekers within what is currently 6 weeks. Applying for doesn't mean you will get it... obviously if you're ineligible you won't. However, the fact that you are ready to return to self-employment doesn't necessarily mean you are not eligible to receive Jobseekers Allowance. While you cannot continue in self employment if in receipt of Jobseekers Benefit you can while in receipt of Jobseekers Allowance with no restrictions on the hours you may work. Notably the instructions simply say you have to apply for "Jobseekers" without specifying Benefit or Allowance. Under current rules Allowance is your only option if you intend to remain self-employed.

Contributions are irrelevant for the emergency payment. While you are required to apply for "Jobseekers" within the emergency period - currently 6 weeks - interestingly they have stated that reconciliation may involve backdated increased payments for certain customers. This suggests that no reimbursement will be sought from those who reconcile in the red. In other words anyone and everyone will get a few notes for 6 weeks, no questions immediately asked.

I am going fer the 6 week 203 option.
On the web page is just says payment, neither listed as benefit or allowance ?
https://www.gov.ie/en/service/be74d3-covid-19-pandemic-unemployment-payment/ (https://www.gov.ie/en/service/be74d3-covid-19-pandemic-unemployment-payment/)

Indeed. It says you must apply for "Jobseekers" within the 6 week period. The erm suggested doing that on the last day, advice you said you would follow... so, have you decided whether you will apply for Benefit or Allowance on the last day?

Depends on your profit/income for the year. Your tax credit on a week for week basis would negate any liability... of course fixed costs are going to reduce overall profit or increase loss, perhaps giving rise to loss relief.

Your wrong there John M (as has already been explained in detail on this topic). Once DM has been told by his doc to self isolate, then his doc should have sent off the forms to revenue fer the 305 fer 2 weeks, regardless if self employed he will get the payment, unless the doc made a bollix of sending out the forms.

Belker.you would not believe the confusion around this but I'll try and explain.I went to the doc 14 days ago,she said considering my underlying conditions,she would have concerns for me. My understanding was,she was going to fill in a cert and send it it on my behalf.at the same time,she gave me a form for illness benefit ( which I still think is the wrong form ) however.I waited a week and rang the dept they said they did not receive anything from the doc.I went back up the surgery and the receptionist tolm that they dont send certs in ,that its up to me to do that.I then sent in the cert ,and it seems the doc gave me the wrong codes.I went back to the surgery ,got the right code,sent it in,and on friday gone they acknowledged they received it.yesterday they said they received nothing after saying on friday they received it.also your man in there tried to tell me I dont qualify because in JUNE I qualify for the syaye pension.you could not make it up.so now im not botherd its more trouble then its worth

It's not that impressive I kinda hinted in other threads....saved 4500 for my car replacement before Xmas.Then I stopped working.Most was spent because I assumed I could get stuck back in early March and earn a few quid.How quick things change.

I was overpaying my Mortgage and drinking out of that until I figured out I wasn't gonna be working again for a bit.So now I'm paying 600 a month and so is the other half.That covers the minimum mortgage(420pm over a very long time) and a bills whilst saving a little.

So 1200 a month to keep the household going.My dogs medication is about 120/150 a month so he will be getting eaten soon as a cost saving exercise.

I will be living off the 203 for the six weeks but needing less than 150.No kids.Wife pays her own way as she should.

I won't apply for a mortgage break until I absolutely need it.

And I'm not a kept man.Modern women make their own money.That's always been our arrangement.Money is the root of all break ups etc etc.
