There is no record of any current applications registered with my Department in the case of the first person concerned.  Information outlining all schemes and payments administered by my Department can be viewed at www.Gov.ie/deasp.  The easiest way to apply for Jobseeker's payments is at www.MyWelfare.ie.  A person must have a verified MyGovID account to use this service which can be created on www.MyWelfare.ie.

The second person concerned is currently in receipt of a Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) at the weekly rate of €300.  In line with the recent rate change from 16/10/2020, the PUP rate for the second person concerned will increase to €350 based on his earnings in 2019. 

I trust this clarifies the matter.
