FIGURES RELEASED FROM the CSO this morning have shown how there are over 500,000 people on either the Live Register or claiming a payment due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Back in February, there were 182,000 people on the live register, but based on the information Goodbody received from the Department of Employment and Social Protection, that could increase to about 482,000. So these numbers, when we get the April numbers, will be even worse, unfortunately, in terms of an unemployment rate. And it looks like around 17% [unemployment rate], although the statisticians may have something to say about. Pandemic Payments
“Non-payment may arise for one of two reasons, either because the person applying was ineligible or their application contained incorrect information,” the Department said. “The best thing for customers to do, if they believe they are eligible, is to go to www.MyWelfare.ie and resubmit their application clearly stating their last date of employment,” a department spokesperson said.
So far, more than 35,000 employers have registered with the Government’s wage subsidy scheme for coronavirus which aims to help companies survive and retain staff.
