View answerTo qualify for Jobseeker’s Benefit (JB), a person would need to satisfy certain Payment Related Social Insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions. According to our records, the person concerned does not satisfy the PRSI contribution conditions for the scheme. Should the person concerned wish to discuss the details of his case he may contact his local Branch Office.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
