Written answers

The person concerned was awarded Jobseeker’s Benefit from 30 March 2020. She was advised by letter on 27 Jan 2021 that the duration of the claim was 234 days. It was not possible to give a definitive date when 234 days would be reached, due to the casual status of the employment in this case.

A further letter on 19 May 2021 advised that benefit would end on 21 May 2021 and of the right to re-apply for Jobseeker’s Benefit, or Jobseeker’s Allowance, as would be the case with all casual Jobseeker’s claims.

The person concerned should contact her local branch office in Fermoy if she wishes to discuss her case further.
