    Signing on for the first time

    To sign on you must go to your social welfare local office or Intreo centre.

    If you are visiting an Intreo centre you should go to the reception area. You will be met by DSP staff who will check your eligibility for a jobseeker’s payment. They will arrange an appointment for you to have your claim processed (within a few days), give you the application form and tell you what documents you need to bring to your appointment.
    You can submit your application for a jobseeker’s payment online in certain locations.

    You should bring your completed application form and all other required documents to your appointment. At your appointment, a DSP Deciding Officer will review and process your application. In many cases a decision on your jobseeker’s payment can be made immediately. You will be asked to sign a Record of Mutual Commitments (pdf) which explains your rights and responsibilities while you are getting a jobseeker’s payment.
    Under the Record of Mutual Commitments you are expected to:

    Co-operate with the Intreo service in developing a Personal Progression Plan
    Use this plan to do your best to secure employment
    Attend all meetings requested by the Department
    Provide all information requested by the Department
    You will be issued with a Public Services card (this involves having your photo taken and your signature digitally captured). All jobseekers have to register for a Public Services card if they have not been issued with one already.
    You will also be given details of a group information session that you must attend. At this information session, you will be told about the full range of support services available from Intreo, including income, training/education and employment supports.
    Depending on your personal profile, you may be given an appointment for a further meeting with a DSP case officer. At this meeting your case officer will discuss your options with you and agree your Personal Progression Plan to prepare you to find employment. You will get ongoing advice and support to help you meet the goals in your Personal Progression Plan.
    If you do not keep to the steps agreed in the Record of Mutual Commitments and the conditions of your jobseeker’s payment, your payment can be reduced and eventually stopped altogether.
