being made redundant at Xmas... i previously worked part time and claimed off my stamps. when i am made redundant - what should i bring to sw office (p.45, redundancy info, id's, proof of address etc - anything else), do I try make an appointment with them or just go in?
also as i will be getting a settlement does this affect your sw entitlement for any period of time?
 
had a read of that Sue before i posted...... think i know what to bring in...
i'm wondering if you get a lump sum payment does it affect when you get your payment and secondly what do i apply for... one can get bogged down with all the reading :(
 
You should apply for Jobseeker's Benefit (based on PRSI contributions) in the first instance.

If you receive a redundancy payment, you may be disqualified from receiving payment for a number of weeks, depending on the amount received and your age.

The amounts and number of weeks are listed about half-way down this page:

Gipimann - that's exactly what i was looking for! thanks....


As i have prev claimed for part time work - would my contributions possibly run out? I am sure they will tell me when I sign on? if that is a case would i get JSA or what happens then?

JSA is means tested so your faimily situation will be taken into account, also the most you can have in savings is 20k in order to get the full rate.

Over this amount and up to roughly 50k in savings and you might get a reduced rate.
 
i'll be ok, single parent - mortgage the whole she-bang! interesting times ahead!

mortgage is next thing to try sort out.....
