On 26 October 2021, those who earned less than €200 per week began the process of moving to standard Jobseeker terms. From 09 November 2021, those who earned between €200 and €299.99 per week began this process. Accordingly, the table below details the movements of those in receipt of the Pandemic Unemployment Payment on 26 October 2021 and 09 November 2021 to Jobseeker Payments in subsequent weeks. The weeks in the table below refers to the week in which the Jobseeker claim was registered with the Department. The transition process is being carried out in a phased, gradual manner and where a person makes an application for a Jobseeker's payment, they are not transitioned from PUP until such time as there is a decision on their Jobseekers' application. The Deputy should note that the data refers to persons in receipt of Jobseeker's Allowance or Jobseeker's Benefit in county Carlow in the week ending January 16th 2021.
