It really depends on how many PRSI stamps you had in the first place.

you'd be better off asking at the social welfare office.

I will ask alright when signing on tomorrow..Was wondering what rough value would be????

You'd have enough for a year anyway I'd say,I was working for 2 and a half yrs and I got it for 9 months,but my stamps ran out last week so Im waiting to see if I get the jobseekers allowance.

As long as you have 264prsi credits paid or more you get it for a year,I did'nt want to be on it this long but I cant seem to get a job anywhere.
