The 203 has been increased to 305 (self employed included).
https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0324/1126102-covid-19-wage-payments/ (https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0324/1126102-covid-19-wage-payments/)
The Government is to increase the Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Support payment for people who have been laid-off due to the virus from €203 to €350.
The payment will also apply to the self-employed affected by the virus.
The scheme costing an estimated €3.7 billion will initially run for 12 weeks.
https://www.gov.ie/en/service/be74d3-covid-19-pandemic-unemployment-payment/ (https://www.gov.ie/en/service/be74d3-covid-19-pandemic-unemployment-payment/)
If you have already applied before the 24th of March or are already in receipt of the Pandemic Unemployment Payment you do not need to do anything. Your next payment will be paid at the increased rate.
Payment is made by electronic transfer only (into your bank account) and only into accounts held in Irish financial institutions. It will be paid in to your bank account every Tuesday once your application is processed.

Not much point looking for that SuperValu job then.

Anyone receiving any payment yet ? Sfa here

As per the opening post;
It will be paid in to your bank account every Tuesday once your application is processed.

I applied 14 days ago even supported by a doctors cert ,and still no payment.apperently there is what they call a decision letter in the post for me
-
I got the first €203 on Monday evening.
-
@ Dalymount - you're getting a different payment. This thread is about the no-questions-asked €203 payment (since increased) for the unemployed but not sick. I think you're after the illness benefit (unemployed and sick) which is €305 (since increased as well). You need a doctor's cert for your one which the doctor is meant to send it automagically since it's all computerised nowadays. From reading your other posts, I don't think she did. That's probably the holdup for you.
-
@ vandriver - can you remember when you sent your application off? Wondering how long it takes to process?
-
I got the first €203 on Monday evening.
When did you apply or post off the form ?
-
Watty when I heard nothing after a week,I went back to the surgery,and they told me its not up to them to send the cert which I thought they had done.I let a bit more time elapse,and then it seems the doctor gave me the wrong codes then apperently she gave me the wrong form also.then the guy I spoke in there said because I am approved for a state pension in June,im not entitled to a payment at all.the latest is there is supposed to be a decision letter in the post for me.I wouldnt mind,only the fukin thing is only for amax of two weeks
-
12 weeks now fer the basic 350.
See OP.
Are you under or over 66 DM ?
-
Yeah I fukked up big time applying for the payment I did.I wonder if,and when the two weeks are with regard to this payment that I applied for,can I then apply for the 12 week payment ?
-
My advice (not being the best in the world about all this) would be to ring them to send out the form again (or print it if you can) and send it off fresh and back dated to 13/3/20 when it all kicked off.

Dollymount Did you fill in the Yellow form ? You are applying for two weeks sick .You dont have the Virus so you do not qualify for the Covid self isolating payment ,you are self employed so you dont qualify for ordinary sick pay .Go on line and apply for the Covid no more work payment there is a LINK up here .
What makes you think your two week sicknote will be paid when your previous four months with a fractured pump you got fuck all why did you not apply for and get the sick when you were really sick and hospitalised .APPLY NOW .

Do we still have to apply within 6 weeks for continued payment or has this new 12 week 350 payment superseded the original.

So still apply would be my thinking.
-
Hal just wait it out.600000 people could be applying for this payment.Many will have no clue and the government will advise us like children in due course.
I won't be in a hurry to apply for anything after this if the city is allowed to reopen.This is free money to stop us wrecking the place.

Posted it last Wednesday or Thursday,heard SFA like Octy.

Dropped in to Bishops Square on Wednesday,paid on monday

-
First page of the process it says

Last page of the process it says:
This is an emergency payment
Please make a full jobseekers application form (UP1) within the next six weeks, forms are
available on www.gov.ie/deasp (http://www.gov.ie/deasp) This Payment will only last for a maximum of SIX weeks.

I applied by post last weekend so I cannot see the online application, but you can be sure it is 12 weeks and highly unlikely that you need to fill out the job seekers thing. And you can still work casually/temporarily.

If this is a taxable payment,some of you lazy cunts might end up owing more tax than if you were working!

I assume it goes in as income on the tax return? RC would know better
-
Why assume differently
-
I would not be so sure you can still work causally belker.if thats true,then it makes a mockery of the whole payment not to mention the immorality of it
-
So if you got nothing yesterday we probably won't get anything until next Tuesday cos that's the payment day???

That's assuming they've received the application....might ring my local Intreo office tomorrow and see if the can update me.
-
No its been said many times by govt Friday of this week is payday.however a devoloping
story on the news says,because no govt is yet formed,this COULD have create a delay in passing legislation which as you know needs to happen before payment can be made

Tony was paid yesterday as was my bro....€203...i think Tony gets more...cos he threatened them.....
-
The rate went up since then,so no doubt both tony,and your bro will receive the arrears
-
As far as welfare packages go internationally,I would say what we are been given is one of the best on offer

Thanks Lizzzy.

Thanks Lizzzy.
That's what I'm here for.

Just take the thanks and fuk off....jaysus!!
-
I would but I'm not sure if it was a freephone number !!
-
Hope ye didn't use that 1890 number.....you'll need more than a bailout when that bill arrives!!
-
I assume it goes in as income on the tax return? RC would know better
He wouldn't! Jobseekers Benefit is taxable, Jobseekers Allowance isn't. The Pandemic payment isn't defined as Benefit or Allowance so, at this stage, I can only guess. I'm guessing it will be taxable.

I'm still waiting to receive that covid payment but I got that job seekers benefit form in the post yesterday. It says you need to fill it out ASAP and send it back. It says if you delay in sending it back they will want to know why there was a delay in sending it in.. So do we send it in or just take the 12 weeks on offer?
-
Since that form was posted to you BB,things have changed,i posed that very question earlier but no definitive answer!!
-
Hope its the rite form ,the yellow one ?
-

I would agree DM, but someday it will all have to be paid back !
-
You can barely spend a cent in this country without paying VAT.The exchequer will get at least 20% of it back when you go the shops.Put petrol in yer car.Go the off licence.Blah blah blah.
-
Ah sure thats the same everywhere

We should consider ourselves lucky the brits deal for the self-employed is 80% of net profit over the last three years.
On the 350 payment I'm about 190 better off than if we had that deal.Although I suspect some others do much better getting assessed under that British 80% method.
-
It's the same rate as the able bodied COVID dole now anyway, DM. However, the COVID 19 scheme was advertised as being available to self-employed. They seem to have processed your application as normal Illness Benefit, a road we've been down before when you were laid up.
https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/covid19_and_social_welfare.html (https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/covid19_and_social_welfare.html)
People who are sick and cannot work
The rules for Illness Benefit and Supplementary Welfare Allowance have been changed to help prevent the transmission of coronavirus. The changes mean that if you are diagnosed with COVID-19 or are suspected of having COVID-19 and are medically required to self-isolate, you can get income support.
The changes are:
You do not have to wait 6 days before you can apply for Illness Benefit. This means Illness Benefit can cover the first week of a COVID-19 diagnosis (or medically-required self-isolation) and any subsequent weeks.
The personal rate of Illness Benefit for people affected by COVID-19 has increased to €350 per week. It will be paid for a maximum of 2 weeks where a person is self-isolating and for a maximum of 10 weeks if a person has been diagnosed with COVID-19 (Coronavirus). If you have been certified for less than 10 weeks, you will be paid for the duration of your certificate.
The normal social insurance requirements for Illness Benefit will be waived or the means test for Supplementary Welfare Allowance will be removed, if you are medically required to self-isolate or diagnosed with COVID-19.
The Government has also stated that self-employed people will be able to get either Illness Benefit or Supplementary Welfare Allowance.

Rat I only submitted the firm I was given by the doctor

There was a warning from Minister for Business Heather Humphreys too, who told the Dáil that the pandemic unemployment payment was a solidarity payment and anyone attempting to defraud would face the full rigours of the law. .

The Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection has said that nearly all unemployment benefit claims received since 19 March and up to close of business today (Thurs) will be processed for payment tomorrow and will hit customers' bank accounts on Tuesday.
According to the Department, the first Covid-19 related payments for approximately 90% of claims received between 13-19 March were issued last Friday, 20 March, and were in customers' bank accounts the following Tuesday.

I thought I'd heard her on the radio mid-week saying there would a payment today and then revert to a regular Tues next week. Just checked - no payment into my account today (Fri). :'( It's getting real now. The last payment into my account was a whopping €15 from FN 10 days ago!
Having a debate with myself whether beer counts as an essential food item :2cheers

It depends on when you applied.
If you applied between 13-19 March then you should have got the lower rate of 203 last Tuesday. (Since increased).
If you applied since 19 -26 March then you should get the higher rate of 350 next Tuesday.
Fer myself if nothing shows by next Wednesday (applied by post Friday evening 19th) then I will be ringing them.
-
They're very very very busy.Dont expect anything in a hurry.We are very lucky to be getting anything.

I still haven't received any payment as per other posters but i'm sure they're busy.
Hal just heard from a mate who applied sometime ago and got no payment as of today, he rang them and they said they had not received the
application and was advised to apply online. they say ok to apply online even if submitted paper, whichever they receive first will be procecessed.
-
My money is on the online one.

I dunno did I fill out the postal form correctly, the amount of spaces/boxes they left fer the BIC was 2 more than I needed and the amount of spaces/boxes provided fer the IBAN was about 5 short. I treble checked it (with reading glasses on) and sober.
Anyone else have this issue ?
-
No. There was at least one extra box for all data I entered.
-
No. There was at least one extra box for all data I entered.
Why in your case was there 1 extra box ?
And in my case boxes both too long and short, surely all BIC and IBAN numbers have the same amount of characters ?
-
Ken do you wanna try my IBAN and see if it works?
-
At least one extra, Ken.
My BIC is 11 characters long and there's 12 boxes on the form
My IBAN is 22 characters long and there's 37 boxes on the form (23 on one line and 14 immediately underneath)
-
Maybe your printer is bollixed?

Apparently a few applications not processed due to iban issues
However, the department said that some payments did not go forward for a number of reasons, including claims not meeting eligibility criteria, errors with IBAN numbers or an inconsistency between PPS numbers.

I don't have a printer, I filled out the form by hand.
It would seem the online form and the postal form are a tad different.
Either way I'll wait till next Wednesday and if I get nothing by then I will ring them.
-
I wrote earlier I thought I heard the Minister talk on the radio about a Friday payment. I took that to mean they'd lodge it Thurs night and we'd see it Friday. Could she have meant they'd lodge it Friday and we'd see it Monday?
-
Depend on their/your bank... you could see it tomorrow even though it's a Saturday (from 1.00 a.m.) is it's transferred today.

Not enough boxes for the IBAN on my Covid form either so just continued outside the boxes,applied by post 19th and I've heard zip.
Surely they would have got back to you if there was a problem with it.
If I don't get anything Tuesday I'll go online and fill it in a again.
-
Why are you filling it out and posting it back when you can do it online ?
-
Why are you filling it out and posting it back when you can do it online ?
Because you couldn't do it online initially, the formnhadcto be downloaded or get one from an Intreo office(but they didn't want you doin that)
Since Leo made the announcement re the increased payment you can now apply online.
-
I'd say the staff in welfare fukked a load of forms in the fire because they didn't wanna touch them.I applied online today in less than 5 minutes.
