As stated several times in the thread, just because you register and start to sign on it does not mean you will be paid any social welfare. There are numerous reasons why people give up work - maybe there was a physical move to another county? Who knows but that would not disbar the person from signing on for prsi credits, and drawing down jb or ja whichever they may become entitled to wether immediately, after 9 weeks or 9 months.It’s a disgrace if the OP’s wife gets a cent from the State.
I’ve never heard the like of it. The clue is in the thread title…“giving up work”.
Social Welfare should be there for people who are let go or who can’t work.
The place she works in is terrible and she's leaving for her own peace of mind. She's moving into a different career so it's JSB for the interim until she finds work, which she should have no trouble finding.
I didn't think that the original post suggested that at all.So, not leaving on a whim as your OP implicitly suggested.
A very nieve response... Who knows how she was suffering at work. The bravest thing to do is to jump ship and find an alternative work path. Fair play to herNobody jacks in a perfectly fine job. A red flag for any workplace is when people aren't just leaving for another job - they're leaving for no job.
Who'd take a massive pay cut - to get back a fraction of the PRSI they've paid in. (If you work for one year at 55k you've paid enough PRSI to pay the full amount of job seekers benefit).
Rule would be justifiable if the benefit was say 80% or your salary for a couple years like it might be in a country with real social insurance. But when it's basically non-means tested dole for 9 months - nope.
Are you reading that I made a point which disagrees with that?A very nieve response... Who knows how she was suffering at work. The bravest thing to do is to jump ship and find an alternative work path. Fair play to her

But obviously lots of people here wanted to jump the gun/to conclusions on the basis of their own prejudices.
She will receive zero social welfare as it's social insurance.She should receive zero social welfare.
If she’s not happy, she should find another job and move to it.
The State shouldn’t be picking up the tab here.
I didn't think that the original postPresumably you haven't the foggiest notion about the meaning of the word "implicitly" - but not to worry, as you grow up your vocabulary will probably improve.
That's just not true. If you are a single person earning €55k you'll pay €2,200 a year in PRSI. That's €42.30 a week. That covers all sorts of things including your State pension and all of that €42.30 wouldn't even fund your State pension.If you work for one year at 55k you've paid enough PRSI to pay the full amount of job seekers benefit
Where did you get those figures from? 5 years payments is €11,000.However you need to have 5 years of contributions, so if you're on 55k you'll have paid 40,000 euro to get back 8000.
It's a long way from the state picking up the tab.

PRSI and USC are around €4k a year. That's €20k over 5 years, still half the figure quoted.He's probably throwing PAYE and USC into the pot - and maybe even the cost of the TV licence! After all, it's all going to the gubberment, one way or another!
