The person concerned incurred a debt as they were not fully unemployed for the period 13/07/2018 to 19/07/2018 and they received full payment of their Jobseeker's Allowance for same.

A decision letter from this Department was sent to them on the 20th November 2018 and set out the details of the debt incurred.

The original debt was €449. The remaining debt is €138.29.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
