1093. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason a primary payment, jobseeker's allowance was ceased in the case of a person (detail supplied); when payment will be reinstated; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1238/19]

A commencement of employment (COE1) form was automatically issued on 23/11/18 in which the person concerned was asked to sign and return the document to the Newbridge Intreo Centre within 14 days. As the document was not returned within the required timeframe the primary payment was automatically suspended. However all documentation has now been received and the primary payment, a jobseeker's allowance, reinstated. This matter has been resolved and all payments due to the person concerned have issued to date.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
