    Hopefully the DSP or Citizens Advice Bureau will release a statement soon with the times.

    The Christmas bonus is being paid out this week. The payment is 25% of your usual payment.

    How long do you have to be on jobseekers in order to qualify as long-term?

    It's usually the week before the Christmas week. So I would say the week beginning the 15th Dec.

    im on a jobsbridge internship. am i entitled to this "bonus"?? i feel it would be unfair if i wasnt? i work 40 to 50 hours per week, get an extra 50 euro granted but most of this is expenses for work anyway. im not complaining as i was given an unbelievable opening into the legal sector which i have based my studies on.

    would just feel aggrieved if i missed out on the "bonus"

    Yes... and no details yet on when Christmas payments will be made. These details probably wont be issued for another two weeks. Keep an eye on welfare.ie

    It would normally be paid the week before Christmas so you wouldn't collect Christmas week
