99 Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Social Protection the way a person in receipt of jobseeker’s payment can transfer their payment to the UK; how long they can receive their payment when a resident in the UK; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7130/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraA person who is fully unemployed and has been in receipt of jobseeker's benefit in this country for at least 4 weeks, may have their benefit paid to them while residing in the United Kingdom for up to 13 weeks, provided they are seeking employment in that country. Payment is dependent on the customer continuing to satisfy the conditions of the jobseeker's scheme.
