What to Do If the Gardaí Call You In?
- 15.12.2024
I’ve recently lost my job. Am I entitled to any benefits or financial support from the government in Ireland?
In Ireland, if you are unemployed, you may be eligible for various government benefits:
Step 1: Jobseeker’s Allowance: You may qualify for Jobseeker’s Allowance if you meet the income and contribution requirements.
Step 2: Jobseeker’s Benefit: If you have paid enough PRSI (Pay-Related Social Insurance) contributions, you may qualify for Jobseeker’s Benefit.
Step 3: Apply Online: You can apply for both benefits through the Department of Social Protection (DSP) website.
Step 4: Eligibility Check: The DSP will assess your eligibility and determine how much you are entitled to.
If you are unsure, consulting a solicitor specializing in social welfare law can provide additional guidance.
