In addition to the above benefits, the Pandemic Unemployment Payment is available to employees who lost their employment and to self-employed workers who lost their income on or after 13 March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Enhanced Illness Benefit, introduced from 9 March 2020, is also available to employed and self-employed workers for Covid-19 absences from work.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
