    If you apply online it’s super quick, apply Thursday and it’ll be there Tuesday.

    Another question, does anyone know anything about the unemployment payment and claiming income tax back. How does that work through revenue?

    Does anyone know how long payments are kept for collection in the Post Office? Do I need to inform them if I am going away for a week?


    Thanks.

    "All post office payments will be available for collection for 90 days after they are first due for collection."

    If your in receipt of a Jobseekers support and your going away for a week you are expected to inform them. In those cases you normally dont get paid in the week your away but receive back payment once your back.

    Is tomorrow the last day of the full payment before it splits depending on your previous earnings?

    Or will tomorrow be the first split payment?

    Does anyone have any idea what a reasonable amount would be to save each week from 350 to pay the tax that will eventually be paid?

    Anyone who was on the 350 a week won't be paying much tax if any. You don't really need to save either, if there is a liability they will do a payment plan or just reduce your tax credits for a while.

    Online, if you have a mywelfare account.

    Alternatively you can contact your local Intreo / Social Welfare Office.

    If you were on casual jobseekers, your claim would have been suspended.

    If you are returning to work you would need to contact your local Intreo Centre to close your PUP payment and resume your Casual JA/JB claim.

    Checked my account there and my jobseekers allowance is down as suspended

    I'll be back in work in little under 3 weeks

    I'm assuming there will be no backpay for weeks missed ?

    I see this today: https://www.gov.ie/en/service/c77da-pandemic-unemployment-payment-confirmation/

    Appears you have to confirm you've not returned to work by the 13th of July.

    You have to confirm your eligibility before the 13th July. Your asked basic enough questions.

    A. Are you currently employed (albeit temp lay off)

    B. Your employer details (Name will suffice)

    C. Have you been in contact with employer

    D. Expected time of return, a number of time frames offered.

    Failure to confirm eligibility before the 13th will lead to payment being stopped.

    Quickest way to complete is mywelfre portal

    One curious observation when I completed, there's one option re expected return to work of up to 6 months! Extraordinary

    I noticed that too! I'm self employed so basically all of 2020 is gone down the pan! But 2021 should be fine! But I chose the 3 month option as I should have a small bit of business come September.

    It sounds like they might be trying to gauge when people expect to return to work.

    I can imagine how tough it's been as self employed, I've many friends in the same boat, in fairness these payments are a god send to self employed, I recall last recession, not a penny of entitlement. I'm due back in a month so we'll see but despite some colleagues back (retail) it's a mess. Best of luck

    I was self-employed too and confirmed my eligibility today - I can't recall the 3 month option?

    I don't know if a back payment has been agreed yet, or if so, when it might be paid however closing your PUP claim won't change your entitlement.

    If and when they do make adjustments for back payments, you should receive what was owed to you.

    You need to contact your local Intreo centre to request resumption of Xs and Os, You should ask them how will the Wage Subsidy scheme affect your claim.

    If you would normally work 3 days per week, and the wage subsidy is say 85% of your normal pay - you would be earning less per day of work - you may need to have means re-assessment.

    For those on the PUP, do they give receipts for the payments you have received?

    No receipts as such but you can request statement of payments, you howe need a full mygov account, the standard mywelfre account won't suffice.

    On a sepe note re payments history, I've noticed mine is only showing up to May 28th, has anyone noticed this. I'm still on pup and being paid, back to work end of month
