Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 May 2024
325. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Social Protection if assistance can be offered to a person (details supplied) so the review of his jobseeker's benefit claim can be considered; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20739/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned applied for Jobseekers Benefit from 13th March 2024 and the claim was initially disallowed on 2nd April 2024. Following receipt of further information pertaining to the application a review of the decision to disallow the application was carried out.
A new decision has issued to the person concerned advising that their application has been processed and their claim for Part Time/Casual Jobseekers has been awarded from the 13th March 2024.
The person concerned is being advised to attend their Local Intreo Office to obtain Employer Declaration (casual) dockets so that an up to date pattern of employment can be determined. Once up to date employment patterns are received, the person’s payment and arrears can be calculated and issued to their nominated Bank Account.
The person’s appeal, lodged with the Social Welfare Appeal Office, has also been finalised and the appeal has been allowed.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
