Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 July 2015
74. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection if a full jobseeker's allowance of €188 will be reinstated to a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28014/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraAccording to the records of this Department the person concerned is currently entitled to a jobseeker's allowance (JA) payment of €153.00 per week, being the maximum rate payable given his partner is now in receipt of an invalidity pension (IP) and given his current pattern of casual employment. An incorrect calculation resulted in his JA payment of the 26/06/2015 being paid at the rate of €138.10. This oversight has been corrected and the arrears of €14.90 due to the person concerned will be included with his next payment, which will issue once the outstanding documentation to be submitted from the person concerned has been received.
