Statement from the Department of Social Protection

The Department of Social Protection has completed the review of the 2,500 Pandemic Unemployment Payment cases where the payment was stopped for travelling abroad. This review has identified 85 cases that have the potential to be entitled to the Pandemic Unemployment Payment for a holiday period. The department will be contacting the 85 individuals directly in the coming days to verify these cases.

Anyone who wishes to have their Pandemic Unemployment Payment reviewed can do so by emailing the department at info@welfare.ie
