The weekly payment of €350 under the Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment scheme will be processed today for approximately 584,000 people.
These payments will be lodged into their nominated bank account or post office tomorrow, 21st April.
There are still a small number of people who entered an incorrect PPS Number or IBAN number. The Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection are contacting these people to obtain the correct information so that the payment can be made.
The number of applications submitted online through www.mywelfare.ie is increasing and this is the easiest and most efficient way of submitting an application.
There is also an online facility to close a claim, for example, where an employer has claimed the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme or where a claim was made inadvertently.
