In order to claim optical benefit the criteria for my age group is set out below, I was just wondering as regards the second criteria does it mean that it must have paid at least 26 contributions in each year or have paid a total of 26 across the two years?


260 paid PRSI contributions since first starting work, and either:
  • 39 paid or credited PRSI contributions* in the relevant tax year on which your claim is based,
    or,
  • 26 paid PRSI contributions in both the relevant tax year and the tax year immediately before the relevant tax year. (1)
 
"Ah! I miss out by 1 then!
I have 40 in 2005 but only 25 in 2006; "


Are you sure you don't have any credits for 2006? "39 paid or credited"
 
Another Question.


Is there any difference between P.R.S.I. optical benefit and Medical Card optical benefit.

Thanks
