If you are a part-time, casual or short-time worker, you can submit your work pattern online at MyWelfare.ie. This means you will not have to submit paper dockets each week to your local Intreo Centre or Social Welfare Branch Office.
To do this you must:
Sign into your account and select ‘Make Declaration’ from your customer dashboard.
Sign into your account and select ‘Out Of Work Payments’ on the MyWelfare homepage. Choose ‘Part-time Jobseeker’s Declaration’ and select the ‘Make Declaration’ button at the top of the page.
If you don’t have any type of MyGovID account, you can learn how to create a basic account here.
Note: Any submissions after these times may affect your payment.
If you use a basic MyGovID account, you will be asked to enter some additional information to verify your identity.
You will need to enter your:
Enter your employer’s name (if you have more than one employer, select ‘Add another employer’).
Then for each day of the week select if you:
If you worked a shift that went past midnight, select ‘Worked’ on the day you completed the most hours of that shift. For example, if you worked from 10pm on Wednesday to 8am on Thursday, select Thursday as the day worked.
If you worked a 12-hour shift or longer you must enter the start and finish time for that day. For example, if you worked from 8pm on Wednesday to 8am on Thursday, select Thursday as the day worked and enter the times as 20:00 to 08:00.
You will then be asked if there has been a change in your circumstances since your last declaration. If yes, you will be asked to provide details of the change in your circumstances, such as a change of employer.
To complete your online declaration, you must confirm ‘I have read and agree to the above statement’. You must then select ‘Submit your Declaration’.
When you have completed the above steps, you will see a ‘Thank You’ message on the screen letting you know your certification has been successfully submitted.
If you are using a verified MyGovID account, you will also receive a notification to your MyWelfare profile.
Submitting your declaration online means you won’t have to get a stamp or signature from your employer, and you will no longer have to submit paper dockets to your local Intreo Centre or Social Welfare Branch Office.
If we need any further information, we will reach out to you or your employer.
