The Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) is currently paid at two rates. As outlined at www.gov.ie/en/publication/0b0fc-covid-19-pandemic-unemployment-payment-rates-from-17-september-2020/, from 17th September 2020 the PUP will be paid at three rates. Previous average weekly earnings based on PRSI data for PUP recipients the week ending 12th September are given below in these rate bands. It should be noted that unknown future inflows and outflows to and from the payment will result in changes to these figures. Officials in my Department will continue to publish recipient breakdowns according to the rate in payment each week at www.gov.ie/en/publication/f4c60c-covid-19-statistics/.
