Husband is being relocated with his job and myself and daugter (21 mths) will be moving with him. I will be resigning from work as we won't be able to afford the extra mileage plus childcare if I continue at my current job and as I will be 28 weeks pregnant I don't plan to go job hunting until at least a year after I give birth.
I am a little confused about whether I will still be entitled to state Maternity Benefit for 26 weeks if I resign? I have the relevant PRSI contributions etc but does me giving up work disqualify me? I have tried to read the Citizens Information page on this but can't find an answer. If anyone knows I would be very grateful. I'm not looking to get money for nothing but if I am entitled to it it would be very helpful. TIA
