    That doesn't sound right TWSS wasn't to remove rights from employee the J9 class I would have thought had you covered. You could post this in the Covid forum benefits mega-thread to see if you get a response too. I'd prob contact a TD if I got no satisfaction from DEASP.

    You can appeal the decision, but will only succeed if DEASP have made a mistake.

    If you're short of cash, apply for Supplementary Welfare Allowance.

    What is DEASP and twss? It's not at all clear in this thread as to what they are.

    DEASP are supposed to count the TWSS PRSI J9 Insurable Weeks as Class A. Probably a miss informed DEASP employee or another reason, which was not specified.

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    If that is supposed to answer the previous post, it failed miserably.

    Hello. It’s 104 contributions since you entered employment. Look up the citizens info website. Social welfare look at your contributions from last year in deciding. Why don’t you just apply and see what the social says

    I don't think so.

    Among other things, you'd need to pay the employer contribution (far higher than yours) as well as the employee.

    You can try asking them. But I've never heard of it.

    Detailed follow up re whether weeks on TWSS should be counted as contributions is probably more likely to succeed.
