PRSI stamp for PUP/TWSS

[lughildanach]

Legislation is being introduced to ensure that those on the Pandemic Unemployment Payment or Wage Subsidy Scheme are allocated a full paid PRSI contribution. This is very welcome, and will avoid issues with short term entitlement to Jobseekers/Illness/Maternity Benefit payments over the coming months and years. It will also ensure contribute to the minimum 10 year requirement for the Old Age pension.

Draft law to allow those on PUP safeguard entitlements

The Government has approved the drafting of new legislation that will allow those receiving the Pandemic Unemployment Payment to have access to Social Insurance Benefits in order to safeguard their future welfare entitlements.

COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP)

The COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment was for employees and self-employed people who had lost employment during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

You will be deemed to have paid PRSI contributions at the same class that you were paying immediately before you were laid off while you are getting the payment. This will help you to qualify for other social welfare payments such as Jobseeker’s Benefit, Maternity and Adoptive Benefit.

Self-employed people will be awarded 52 annual contributions in the normal way.

Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme

The Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme allowed employers to continue to pay their employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was replaced by the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme.
