Covid payment easter Mon or Tuesday next weeek
What about pup payments?
Same as all other Tuesday payments.
Is that saying people who collect jobseekers payments can collect it this Friday instead of Monday?
That’s correct.
I just asked the post office and they said jobseekers can’t get they’re money until Monday? But why does this day different? Very misleading
Maybe your local Post Office is wrong?
These dates are confirmed by Social Welfare.

She must have gotten it wrong if the social welfare confirmed them guess I could just go tomorrow and check

Bank or Post Office?
This information came from Welfare – https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/67f30d-easter-payment-arrangements-2020/
Post office, partner isn’t long back.
What benefit is it ?
JSA which we collect every Monday or Friday of bank holiday for the last year.
But is it normally due on a Tuesday ?
If it is – it will be there on Monday.
Bank holiday is a week on Monday , not next Monday.
Yeah due Tuesday but can be collected Monday and early for bank holidays but I think we all got confused. Thanks for info!!
JSA is not been paid today. Not been paid until Monday. Department of Social Welfare confirmed this over the phone.
But isn’t JSA normally due on a Tuesday?
So – oe day early for Easter – means it will be paid Monday.
WHy would anyone expect it today?
JSA is paid to me on a Monday not a Tuesday. I get paid every Monday. Unfortunately your information isnt correct.
It is the information supplied by Social Welfare.
