As many as 6,500 people will benefit from a payment worth up to €203 per week
The new scheme of Jobseeker's Benefit is intended to support those who lose their self-employment and are covered by social insurance. The payment will be worth up to a maximum of €203 per week for fully qualified adults for a period of nine months.
The initiative is designed to provide assurance to people setting up or running their own business that the State is there to support them if their efforts to create employment and an income for their families and employees suffer as a consequence of their business ceasing. Arrangements are currently underway in the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection to ensure the necessary legislation is in place for the new scheme and that the administrative and technical solutions are in place in advance of November for its operation.
