625. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason jobseeker's allowance has not been paid in the case of a person (details supplied); when the matter will be resolved; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [48157/18]

According to the records of the Department, the person concerned has not submitted a recent application for jobseeker's allowance.  He currently has an open illness benefit claim and is in receipt of credited contributions only.

If the person concerned wishes to pursue an application for a jobseeker's allowance payment, he should contact his local branch office in Athy where a member of staff will be in a position to assist him in this regard.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
