Voluntary PRSI contributions

[Conan]

You did mention signing on for credits and elaborated on the details of claiming Jobseekers Credits. This was the issue being discussed. You implied in post #13 that there was no limit to the amount of Jobseekers credits allowed as reckonable under TCA.

The OP referred to signing on for 8 years. My response was in that context.

Interesting thread. So is the below scenario correct - ie person could get full Contributory State Pension with.

10 years working paid contributions - 520
10 years credited contributions - 520 (this being max no. of credited contributions alllowed - ignoring carer scenario)
20 years of voluntary paid contributions (at €500 per year) - 1040

In theory this might be correct. But I doubt that anyone will ever come up with such a result on pension day.
