Hi all,
i am on Jobseekers Allowance. Does anyone know what the procedure is when I am taking a 2 weeks holiday? Do I have to report back into Social Welfare once I am back or can I just go and collect the payment on the next payment day?
Many thanks
 
Re: Taking a holiday

Go to the Social Welfare office, ask for a form to fill out BEFORE you go on holidays. Your entitlement is the same as if you were working I seem to recall i.e. 21 days per year but you MUST notify office when you intend to take time off.
 
Hi, the entitlement is two weeks. As for collecting payment, ask at your local office. I seem to remember that if you are paid in the bank then you get paid as normal, but collecting from PO is different Ithink?
