Unemployment benefit eligibility
Molloy raised a Galway claimant’s unpaid unemployment benefit. Hussey said she did not meet the contribution conditions, had been asked for further employment evidence, and had an unemployment assistance claim being processed.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he is aware that a person (details supplied) in County Galway has been signing for unemployment benefit since 6 January 1981 and has not yet received payment; and if he will take action in the matter.
Comment on this
According to the records of my Department the person concerned does not satisfy the statutory contribution conditions for entitlement to unemployment benefit. She has, however, been asked to furnish additional evidence in respect of her previous employments.
In the meantime a claim to unemployment assistance has been accepted from her and is being processed.
