Question about jobbridge payments

xander5

I started my internship nearly 4 weeks ago now and only started getting my payment into the bank this week(week 3) and there was no extra €50 in it.When does it kick in and will I receive the extra 50 for each week I have already worked?Any information would be great.

Will I get paid?
You will receive an internship allowance that is equal to your current social welfare allowance (at time of commencement on the Scheme) plus an additional €50 per week top-up which will be paid by the Department Social Protection (DSP). All changes in circumstances must be notified to your local Social Welfare office as this may affect your social welfare payment.

This top-up will be paid for the duration of the internship but in arrears and it is expected that participants will receive this top-up allowance approximately 2 weeks after commencing on the programme.

All payments of the Internship Allowance will be made by the Department of Social Protection via Electronic Fund Transfer into the Intern’s bank account.

Seems you should already be getting it, but from the above, I'm guessing you should get it from next week on, but not 100% sure.
