Did they say anything about you being able to backdate the claim? See here:I left my job on Aug 31st ...
I put my claim in at the end of Oct
Did they say anything about your claim maybe being disqualified for up to 9 weeks (from the date of leaving or the date of your initial claim) due to you leaving voluntarily?(c) Late Claims
A claim may be backdated for a maximum of 6 months where the person can prove to the satisfaction of the Deciding Officer or Appeals Officer that s/he satisfied the qualifying conditions throughout the period and that there was good cause for delay in making the claim. See also separate guideline "Claims and Late Claims" on Late Claims.
"Good cause" in this context would include any substantive reason for the failure to make a claim on time, e.g. death of a family member, or foreign holidays abroad where the person was unaware that they could have made a claim.
In all cases, without exception, the maximum period that a claim may be back-dated in this way is 6 months.
What "green form" specifically?I got a green form yesterday in the post for signing on
I think that you can officially query claims that seem to be taking an untoward amount of time. Not sure that this is necessarily the case here but you may find something useful on the SW website here or elsehwere:Any advice??, does it look like I will get it at all??
Did they contact your previous employer because you didn't have a P45 to present to them or something? Did they say why they were contacting them? You should be asking the SW staff all of the questions above. They are there to help you and most will!
I got it no hassle for changing jobs due to exact reaons you stated ( minus the kid ).
I dont think they contacted my employer at all. hope it works out. Also remeber you can back date your clam to when you finsihed job, not just the date you sign on. I got a lovely bonus surprise when I got that !
What exactly did it say on the card? What exactly did they say about your claim when you returned it and spoke to them?The green form I got was a signing on card

Maybe you are too deep in debt for your circumstances (even allowing for the fact that you are (temporarily?) unemployed) and need to address this issue sooner or later?My husband works fulltime but we have a massive mortgage and we have €641 per month left after it is paid.
Is this a typo? You mentioned Jobseeker's Benefit originally. Jobseeker's Assistance is a different scheme and is means tested and not PRSI linked!Once I get this JA sorted
If there is any danger of missing repayments on your mortgage or other loans then contact the lender as a matter of urgency BEFORE this happens and keep a record of all such contacts (in a worst case scenario the fact that you confronted such issues head on and early will stand to you).we should be okay though and the sooner I get back to a decent salary we will be back on track but the debt is mounting if I am honest and I am very concerned about it. I am meeting MABS on Friday anyway as I am terrified this will escalate and we won't be able to cope.
