To ask the Minister for Social Protection if her attention has been drawn to the problems encountered by persons on jobseeker's allowance benefit who fill in casual workers weekly employment information forms; particularly as it relates to cash flow issues being paid fortnightly or monthly and weekly by social welfare [49787/12]

Casual/part-time workers in receipt of a jobseeker payment receive payment on a weekly basis and this is based on the number of days which the customer has certified as unemployed in the previous week. The Department has no control over the payment frequencies used by employers to make payment of wages.
