Jobseeker's Allowance or Jobseeker's Benefit

hi, what is the difference between Jobseeker's Allowance or Jobseeker's Benefit?

thanks

Jobseeker's Benefit is based on PRSI contributions you have made while working. Payment is not means-tested so isn't affected by any savings, etc you have.

Jobseeker's Allowance is a means-tested payment, so is affected by savings, income etc.
