casual dole payments

[jillyb]

Hi there

I'm currently claimimg jobseekers benefit and working part time. I started work last week and got all the forms filled out from the social welfare office with my days worked etc. I dropped it in the box outside the social welfare office last thursday (in cork).
Does anyone know how long it takes for it to get processed & get paid? I was told it was goin to be sent out by cheque in the post.

thanks

Hi
When I was on casual dole payments (a few months ago), I would drop the cert in the box, which had to be in by Thursday midday and then the cheque was posted out on the following Tuesday. That was in Dublin.

I was told on Monday this week that claims were taking from three to four weeks to process. I was told also that the cheque would be posted out to me but was not told when that might be.
