If your application for the COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment was deemed ineligible it was therefore not approved for one of the following reasons:
Please note:
The department undertakes control checks on all applications (which involve working with the Revenue Commissioners) to ensure eligible applications are processed into payment.
The department will write to you to explain which of the above reasons applies to your application. However, as we are faced with very high volumes of customer applications it will take some time for us to contact you.
A number of applications the department received did not include correct details in order to enable us to make a payment.
In the majority of cases the reasons for this are:
Please note that we will never ask you to confirm bank details over the phone.
If you think you may have incorrectly submitted the above details and you meet all the qualifying conditions set out above for the COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment and you did not receive a payment on then we request that you submit another application through the button below.
Please note re-applications can only be done online through www.mywelfare.ie.
Please note:
Submitting a second application will not lead to duplicate payments being made.
Applications received through www.MyWelfare.ie before close of business on Thursday and which meet the qualifying conditions will be paid to customers’ bank accounts the following Tuesday.
This is a prototype - your feedback will help us to improve it.
