My Department received an application for Illness Benefit from the person concerned on 13 February 2024. They did not qualify for an Illness Benefit payment as they do not satisfy the contribution conditions which requires a minimum of 104 total PRSI contributions paid. A letter issued to them on 13 February informing them of this decision.
The person concerned may continue to submit medical certificates for the duration of their absence from work in order to receive PRSI credited contributions on Illness Benefit.
I trust this clarifies the position for the deputy.
