    Currently filling out the online form.
    Anybody else have trouble entering the country on the section of employers address? It says please enter a valid country when I type in Ireland or Republic of Ireland. Thanks

    When you start typing Ireland, choose the Ireland from the drop down rather than continuing to type. This is glitch that happens with a lot of online application forms.

    The payment is only going to last 12 weeks tops. if you have dependents then you might be entitled to more then €350. If you are single and not back in work on week 13 then you will need a payment in place. If you are back in work then you can just cancel your claim .

    Talked to my mother she works part time on X and O's and also claims for my father as a dependent

    She rang the social welfare yesterday who said she will only get 350 between them as they are a married couple and the job are not providing anything

    This mean's the house is certainly down money until this all blows over

    Is anybody else in this situation?

    I thought this couldn't be correct but she did ring the social welfare office so they should know

    All welfare payments are being paid by-weekly right now, so youll prob not get another for 2 weeks

    I did it this morning no bother. Yesterday it wasn't giving me a drop down box. It just said country not recognised or some such. Sorted now thanks.

    Yeah I can't understand it at all
    Makes no sense and is very unfair

    Hopefully it'll be explained better over the next few days

    It's extremely fair, the 350 is for people who were fully employed, and is to remove any delay in processing JSA/JSB applications along with their various entitlements by giving an (almost, it's by no means perfect) amount that covers approx what everyone, that was fully employed is entitled to. Yes some of these win a little over what they would have gotten and some will be a bit below, but it's the most fair for the most people in a time that is practical.

    Why do you think you should get a pay rise for playing the "X's & O's"? Pay an equal stamp as the people getting the 350 a week payment, then you will be treated equally.

    Hi. I am currently working fulltime but the company is reducing our hours to 80% and availing of the scheme. They are topping up by 10% and we get the Gov 70%.

    Am I able to claim the welfare payment for the day not in employment?

    You took my reply out of context
    I was replying to the fact a student working 2days a week was entitled to the full 350

    I never said I should be entitled to it, just that I wanted to know how people on x and os sat with the eligibility as we are also down a wage coming in.

    An equal ha what a gob****e

    Last week it wasnt clear on what was available for part time workers

    That was the reason I started this thread
    At the time it was clear students were getting the 350 and there was no information for mine and other people in my situation

    That was my point
    Let's just all get along for godsakes bickering over who works more now

    It's stressful enough for this ****e would you not agree?

    If you work 4 days, no entitlement to Jobseekers. The Casuals ( X and O's) should be able to confirm

    Thanks. If I was put to 3 days would I get the normal 120 or is that pushed up in line with the Covid Payments to 210?

    Tried the usual looking this up but doesnt appear to be clear.

    I didn't hear anything back from them either, just money in my account. You'll most likely receive yours this Tuesday

    If you're working you are not entitled to Covid, casuals don't get the 350, so you'll get money for 3 days. Although the rules are changing daily so nothing set in stone

    Yeah I'll be doing the same if I don't receive any money tomorrow

    Dopey college students working for 2 days each week getting the full €350 and hard workers getting nothing is so unfair

    It seems like people on Casual dockets should have rang their local Intreo office instead of applying online.The big question still is,Has anyone on Casual dockets received a payment into their bank account yet??

    From a post on Facebook last week

    -I was at the welfare office today and I was told that I did not need to fill out the Covid payment form and that I just need to fill out my Xs and Os form as normal and the payment will automatically be increased . I explained to them that my work place has closed but they said that because I am in receipt of casual payment I dont need the Covid form .

    Could be it’ll just go in automatically and that’s why the online application was rejected.

    Very informative.Presume we will know tomorrow if anyone gets paid automatically.Alot of Casual workers will find it hard to get their part time employment back unfortunately.

    I'm on X and o's and have been out of work since the 19th of march. I rang the local office and they told me to change my dockets reflecting my employment status from week to week, she expressly said not to apply for covid money as it would mess up my claim in the future. I didn't receive the full 350 initially but just there now I received double 350 (700) .

    Check mywelfare (make sure your account is fully verified)

    My jobseekers allowance is down as suspended but I have the €350 and it's down as 'Exceptional Needs Payment"

    I rang in today and was told there’s a problem with the online system with some casual workers and if I apply through it again it will likely get rejected. So she told me to download a copy of the form , print it out, fill it in and scan it , send it to an email address of a person who works in my local intreo centre who is dealing with it. She gave me an email address of the person but I’m sure every place is different.
    🤬😵😱😕

    Hopefully this will sort it out... not holding my breath though. She did say that as far as she is aware, casual workers are the included in it.

    My mam usually works 2 days a week and does X's and O's for the other days. Her workplace is closed now, of course.
    Her employers have paid her some money under the Wage Subsidy Scheme- works out at about 16 hours a week pay.

    But she has received no additional payment since mid March, so is down about €120 a week.

    She didn't know if she should apply for the covid payment, but did anyway and had it rejected.
    I've advised her to phone her Intreo Centre tomorrow, to see what the story is.

    She has dockets still up to this week, but they are not signed by her employer obviously, so she didn't send them in.

    This X's and O's lark is a complicated thing! :pac:
