I have been informed that I may be reduced to a 3 day week from January onwards, I have been working continuously for the past 25 year, so I have paid PRSI in all employments. Will I be able to claim unemployment benefit for the days I do not work, and what is the rate of payment???? I have heard that if you work 3 days you can draw your stamps for the other 3 days...
 
As you will be loosing 2 days work you will get benefit for 2 days.
The rate depends on whether you are single, married, children, etc
 
thanks for that info, I am married with 2 children, but my husband also works, and children in 5th & 6th year, Where could I get the rates - would it be Job Seekers benefit I would receive???
 
Jobseekers Benefit yes. Go to welfare.ie. Leaflet SW 19 is the rates of payment leaflet for all SW payments
 
Thanks, looked up that leaflet, it is very confusing, there seems to be different rates applying if you are on 3 days a week full time or just 3 days a week for a certain period of time and going back fulltime again for a few months, I think the latter would apply for me, as I will probably be fulltime again from about March onwards until end of Summer, why do they have to make it so confusing,
