I will get Supplementary pension at 60 years (4 years time) but I understand there are no PRSI credits available with this.
I cannot sign on for Jobseekers as I am spending time abroad helping to care for a very sick family member and cannot sign on. This will be a limited time but unpredictable duration.
If you are applying for Jobseekers benefit the criteria is that you must have paid 104 contributions since you first started work and 39 paid in the relevant tax year - for claims in 2019 the relevant tax year is 2017 OR 26 paid in the relevant tax year and 26 paid in the year before the relevant tax year. If you do not apply until 2020 the relevant tax year will be 2018 and you appear to have only 18 paid so you should try and claim in 2019. The jobseekers benefit is only paid for 9 months. Jobseekers allowance is means tested and as you appear to have means you would be unlikely to qualify.
