Fill in the online form immediately after you become unemployed.
Within a few days you will get a reply. You will be awarded Jobseekers benefit if you are unemployed and meet the Prsi qualification contributions.
In the award letter you will be asked to sign on at your local Intreo office at an appointed time. This is usually 3 to 4 weeks after your payments begin.
