I am a bit confused between these two.
I am on Jobseekers benefit and collected 2 weeks payment today in post office.
Have I been issued with a bonus week i.e. do I collect again on Christmas Eve? Or have they paid me in advance and I collect again on New Years Eve?

What do you mean about confusion between JB and JA? JB is PRSI linked and not means tested. JA is means tested. Is the two weeks payment your bonus week for Xmas? Did SW or the PO not tell you when to collect your next payment? Do the other threads on bonus Xmas SW payments or the SW website not clarify?

If you are on JB you will not be entitled to bonus payment so what yopu got is a double week (payment in advance for Xmas week). Next payment will be due week after next.

Can I ask how much this is? I gave up my job end November and intend to apply to see if I can get this?

Sorry for jumping on your thread
