Jobseeker's benefit refused may still be entitled to jobseeker's allowance?

Cutie18Ireland

Got a letter from the social welfare today saying that I am not entitled to jobseekers benefit as I havent has a substantial loss of employment. I only work one day per week.
The letter mentions that I may still be entitled to jobseekers allowance? I know on the form I put to apply for it aswell, so will this automatically happen or do I need to get back onto them?

Hi All,

Came home today and a confused family member met me at the door and handed me a letter they had received regarding their Jobseekers Benefit application.

The letter is laid out as if the application was approved and says the the payment will be made by cheque and will start on a certain day but under the rate section it says 0 and amount to be paid 0. So we're not sure if this has been approved or declined. Nowhere on the letter does it say the word decline nor does it give a reason for any decline..

Does anybody have any ideas??

Thanks

Are you working part time as usually part time workers are paid by cheque.If you are the reason their is no amount on it is because they have to wait until your casual docket is received to see how many days you worked.

Your family member may not have enough PRSI contributions to qualify to receive Jobseekers Benefit and an automatic switch to a Jobseekers Allowance application has commenced. He/she should go to the Social Welfare Office immediately to check what is happening.

You must have means from something, perhaps you are under 25 and living at home with your parents if thats the case their income is taken in to account. There are several reasons why your payment could be reduced i.e do you have capital, another property,
co habiting with a partner. Would need more info to say for certain.
