Here is a link to the changes in the payment https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/84add-july-stimulus-social-protection/
The scheme will be closed to new applicants from 17th September. For those already on the payment, there will be three rates, 300, 250 and 200, depending on your income before the pandemic. Rates will be further reduced in the new year, and the scheme will be wound up by April 2021.
Employment support and education schemes have also been amended to allow those on the PUP to qualify, eg. Back to Education Allowance, JobsPlus and Back to Work Enterprise Allowance.
Still no clarity or detail in how income is determined for deciding which band you qualify for, and still no clarity about whether the self-employed with reduced income can avail of the payment.
