Jobseeker's Allowance (JA) is a means-tested payment made to people who are unemployed and who meet the qualifying conditions of the scheme.

It is open to the person concerned to make an application for a JA payment. The quickest and easiest way to submit an application is online at www.mywelfare.ie. Alternatively the person concerned can apply through her local Intreo Centre in Newbridge.

Information about my Department's schemes, including qualifying conditions, is available at www.gov.ie/DSP.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
