Hi All,

OH is self employed and was out on maternity leave last year (Mar -Sept) and then went out on PUP for the rest of the year once it was made available to the self employed. Given the lack of turnover she also produced a trading loss for 2020.

What is her PRSI position in this situation?
Her PRSI record for 2020 is currently showing no contributions.

  • If she could she will happily pay S class to keep things ticking over but not clear how.
  • Should she get credited weeks for maternity leave & PUP?
  • Don't know if it was the right thing to do but she filled out a form to make a voluntary contribution but the response told her that she did not have 520 contributions paid so unable to make a voluntary contribution.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
S
