    I applied for Job seekers got awarded the Covid €350 payment temporary (their words) due to the mass influx of claims due to the pandemic.

    I am still receiving this payment but I am worried that covid claimants need to confirm eligibility (by 13 July) or risk being cut off! What do I do I don't want to submit this form and risk being prosecuted or having no income!

    Job seekers still not approved and calling Intreo haven't been very helpful!

    Thanks all

    In this case, I would confirm your eligibility at Welfare.ie, just in case.

    You can call the Covid helpline on Monday to confirm, but just even to have it done online as otherwise it's just going to be done and generated systematically with anyone who hasn't confirmed automatically cut off (I would think).

    And as long as you have the proof that the PUP was awarded to you on that basis via a letter or email I wouldn't worry – just something that has their decision on your claim in writing and you'll be fine – I'm sure lots are in the same boat.

    Question, why did you apply for the JSA over the PUP, out of interest? Had you been unemployed prior to the pandemic?

    Seems strange and misleading on my part to 'confirm my eligibility' when I'm not eligible. Will they contact my previous employer like how will they even know of my circumstances.

    I was made unemployed right before the pandemic so hence I applied for JSA.

    Ah I’m sorry I misunderstood, if you weren’t actually on the PUP and it’s the JSA, it’s definitely more complicated.

    Could you ring the JSA department directly? They shouldn’t just stop your payment but given what happened to me this week anything is possible!

    I’m sorry I can’t be more help - anyone who doesn’t fit the black and white model of standard requirements needed seems to miss out.
