Are Covid-19 payments available for 90days?

jmlad2020

I'm aware JSA can be left up to 90 days in the current climate but can I leave my €350 Covid-19 payment this week and subsequent weeks upto 90 days if I'm feeling under the weather?

If I decided to collect it in 3 weeks I presume I'd have €1050 waiting for me?

Thanks

Are you not getting it paid into your bank account?

I originally applied and sent my application for JSA right before the covid pandemic payment was announced. The department thus processed me on the Covid scheme due to them presumably being overwhelmed (so don't have my bank info etc, which is fine)

I've been collecting it in person weekly for the past 2 weeks..?

question is do you qualify for the 350 covid payment, know few people that were put on it instead of JSA, and that money will need to be paid back as they dont qualify, yet somehow they are still given the 350e.

That's a question for a different day.

Are these paid in arrears or in advance? What dates would the payment issued yesterday cover?
