When i made the application online,when it went to the bank details i gave me the option to lodge to my bank account...which they had the last four digits of my account.....which is the account Revenue use to withdraw my yearly tax...i never inputted any of that info when registering for the mygov account.

For anyone who posted on 19th Mar via post, saw this over on boards.ie

I rang this morning. Still nothing in my account. Applied on the 19th via post. The guy said I wasn’t on the system yet and it’s pandemonium. He said there’s boxes everywhere. Recommended I apply online and he said you won’t be back paid. Jobseekers can be back paid but Covid pandemic payment cannot? All very confusing. He was very sound but was stressed out of his mind which is understandable

Rialto sent in a form they sent back an E mail as it only had enough spaces for 14 digits so he left out the last 4 numbers .They sent him an E mail requesting he re submit the proper form,or apply on line .

Here's a thought.....the boxes from the 17/18/19 are underneath the ones from the 20/21/22 and so on.Case closed lads.... some fukker in charge of stacking the boxes wasn't bothered about when they arrived..they probably brought him in on his day off.

Everyone will get paid eventually. However i did post this earlier, even if you lodged a paper application, you should also do an online one, this was
straight from the horse's mouth - the dept. Also everyone getting the pandemic payment should apply for the jobseekers benefit straight away,
you may decide not to come back in the game until a vaccine is out especially if you have underlying health issues. You can always withdraw the application at anytime.

We will get paid eventually but it's not being backdated so we're out of pocket to the tune of 3 and a half ton for every week it takes.

Dole offices are closed to the public and you can't apply for Jobseekers Benefit or Jobseekers Allowance online unless you have a PSC. They made me make an appointment for an interview to get a PSC and then they cancelled the appointment so I have no way of applying for anything other than the pandemic payment.

I think that has changed as well rat. head to mywelfare.ie, sign in using your basic my gov account. try again to apply for jobseekers benefit. i clicked
on the apply button and it seems possible to do it online(didn't apply was just checking).

[Shallowhal]

Which one should we apply for.....Benefit or Allowance?

[Rat Catcher]

We've already discussed the relative merits of each at length:

In short it depends on whether you're going to stop work completely or if you'd like the option to continue working without restriction and how much you earned after capital allowances in 2018 and how you might fare in a means test.

The weekly personal rate for Jobseekers benefit is only 203. plus increases for a qualified adult of 134, and qualified child of 40 per week.

Thanks. I clicked the begin application button and the first page of the form loaded. I'll get back to it within the next 12 weeks.

It's reduced if your average weekly income for 2018 was under €300 odd. In that case you may do better on Jobseekers Allowance subject to means testing. Also, you cannot work as self-employed on JB, you can on JA without restriction.

It's hard to know at this juncture,i have every intention of returning to work when the govt see fit to allow the opening of pubs,restaurants etc.

Youngfella round the corner was right ....Construction work has been halted at the National Children's Hospital due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Contractor BAM said today's decision follows confirmation from its client, the National Pediatric Hospital Development Board, that the work is not considered essential during the current crisis.

It said separate Covid-19-related worked on the main St. James' Hospital campus will continue along with some essential motorway maintenance it carries out around the country.
