Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 June 2023
100. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Social Protection the current timeframes on processing new claims for jobseeker’s allowance applications, broken down by county, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31422/23]
View answerFor May 2023, the average processing time or time to award for Jobseeker's Allowance applications was one week. Over 96% of claims are processed within six weeks.
My Department calculates the average processing time on a national level only. As such, a breakdown of processing times by county is not available.
