    Hey guys,

    I get my jobseekers allowance on a Thursday, I got it last week for two-weeks (as Christmas Day is on a Thursday).... so my next payment should be New Years Day.....

    I just checked AnPost website there and they're closed on New Years Day!

    Anyone know when or how I can get the payment??

    Thanks in advance,

    Gary

    Call in on Monday and if you don't get it then you will be told when to come back.
    Most likely it'll be Monday or Tuesday

    Unfortunately I couldn't get to the post office today. I could go tomorrow but I'd need to know.. I'm visiting family at the moment and it's a bit of a trek! I'll be there Wednesday anyway. Hopefully it'll come through and won't result in endless hours waiting at the social welfare office again! After 9weeks I'm still getting processed too, these payments are from the Community Welfare Officer, so I don't know who I'd go looking to!

    It's ridiculous there isn't a note on the welfare website about Christmas payments!!

    Pick up the phone and call your post office if you cannot go in. AFAIK, and don't quote me on this, thursday payments will be made on the Wednesday.
