Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 November 2025
706. Deputy John Paul O'Shea asked the Minister for Social Protection if jobseekers benefit payments for the month of August will be awarded to a substitute teacher (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [63015/25]
View answerThe person concerned applied for Jobseekers Benefit on 29/7/2025. Further information in relation to this application was requested. The information was not received and the claim was closed.
The person concerned reapplied for Jobseekers Benefit on the 5/9/2025 and was awarded Jobseekers Benefit on the 16/09/2025.
The person concerned then requested payment for the period from 28/7/2025 to the 5/9/2025. This was initially disallowed. This disallowance was appealed and on review was allowed by a Deciding Officer.
Payment including arrears have now issued to the person concerned.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
