Online Signing On

I am me123 · 17-11-2023 08:47PM #1

Has anyone done 'signing on' online with DSP?

I have an existing MyGov ID which I used to make my claim.

My letter from DSP mentioned an email adddress to email to avail of online signing but it was stated as " @welfare.ie".

How do you find out what the email is?

Thank you.

It's usually the town@welfare.ie

Signing on is usually in person. Online was allowed during COVID but it's reverting back to normal

People are currently getting messages from welfare and letters in the post inviting them to sign on online. Collection of jobseekers has reverted exclusively to the post office unless you are working part time.

Not wholey true. Some are getting jobseekers payments online and some are having to physically sign on

I think there is an age concession for people over a certain age..60 something I think

No. If you are working part time and on jobseekers for the days you don’t work, then you can get your jobseekers paid into your bank. But if you are wholly unemployed then you have to collect your payment in the post office.

Also you are confusing signing on and collecting a payment. Two different things.

SW are rolling out a system where if you have a verified govID then you no longer have to go to the SW office to “sign on”.

You can do it online. SW can monitor where you are when you actually log in.

I’ve just been contacted by a woman who signed on online while she was on holiday in Turkey and her payment was suspended immediately. She hadn’t notified SW that she was leaving the country.

Uncle of mine who is 62 gets in paid straight into his bank account no collecting at PO. Again, like I said, there is an age concession

Interesting developments. Wasn't aware that login data was being used , though it would make me question data protection and if it's being used for the purpose for which it was given.

All Ukrainians can get it to the bank irrespective of working part time or not

Ukrainians Don't get paid into Bank they must collect at a nominated Post Office

DSP track IP address and use these to confirm, those offered the chance to sign in via mywelfare are resident in this country. It's partly how people where caught claiming PUP whilst not in Ireland.

Quite clever actually. I believe those who are permitted to sign on via mywelfare still have to present occasionally & it's only a pilot scheme.

Your uncle fortunate, I've a neighbour the same age and has to collect every week from PO. DSP started returning collection of all JSA/B at post offices last year, starting with new claims, it was, only meant to be Temporary that Bank accounts where allowed during Covid

I believe at the start of the influx they did but not more recently, last year quite a kerfuffle when 80 arrived in my village, the Q outside the post office on Tuesdays a sight to behold.

All gone now
