526. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the correct level of jobseeker's allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17288/19]
View answerThe person concerned submitted an application for jobseeker's allowance with effect from 11/3/19.
The person concerned was disqualified from payment for a period of 9 weeks by a Deciding Officer, in accordance with section 147(4)(b) of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 as amended, as he was deemed to have refused employment.
When jobseeker's allowance is re-instated on week commencing 13/5/19, the person concerned will be entitled to a weekly payment outlined as follows:
